Woman of Strength

Hello my name is Danielle. I am very pleased to meet you. I was born in a small town called Strent. This is on the southeast coast of the great country of Fantasia. Strent is an island town that was raised from the sea (literally) by my great ancestors whom were fishermen. Since their sea fairing days Strent has become the center for trade in the southeast of Fantasia and Strent thrives from it. Strent is a simply wonderful place for a young lady like myself to grow up; many wonderful sites to see and young men to entertain. Only somehow my life seems incomplete. This is only because only one side of me is allowed out of the gates, if you will, one ego state. Women in now modern times are only allowed to be dainty and delicate. If only they knew about my late night outings or early morning séances, my lord I would be labeled a witch and burned. I cannot help my religion. I am merely the victim in a sad, cruel twist of fate. You see, six years ago when I was 14 years of age, I met a boy by the name of Joshua. He was tall, slim, and had no farmer build to him at all. HE had dark untamed hair and the most amazing green eyes the worlds hast never seen. He was very good looking and looked about the age of 17. I immediately labeled him as rich and was forced to make myself known to him. Contrary to my goal he actually took notice. We left that market together that day and went for a stroll along the beach. He took me into a cave that, I confess did look frightful at first, was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen in my life. This particular cave had been filled with glowing crystals and wondrous creatures that made me change my view of the world. It may not, to the reader, sound as life changing as it was but, I may say my writing skills are not the most honored, it is far to magical to put into words, I am not inclined to tell the reader any more than that, and when the reader's life takes a complete walk about then the reader can witness the difficulty it is to describe that moment in detail. To conclude the story I became Wicca and Joshua left to join the military, which was at the time being rallied in a place called Georgia. He writes me letters every so often. This introduction to my life has been censored and edited profusely.
