One Moment, Two Hearts
One Moment, Two Hearts
Dark as the moonless night, his skin reflects no light.
Eyes of a brilliant color, always changing as twilight hits them.
Deep as the bottomless sea, his heart can envelop anything in an instant.
Spirit like that of a thunderstorm, raging amidst a surrounding calm.
Hair as silver as the lining of a cloud, shimmers softly in the wind.
Pale as the surface of the moon, her face emits glowing radiance.
Soul gentle like the snow, falling softly to blanket the ground.
Graceful as a swan, she has the elegance of a queen.
Two different worlds, as far apart as the sun from the moon.
One moment to destroy the distance between hearts.
A lifetime of happiness, an eternity of love.
Elisten
*** This is for the love of my life. Remember - "Deep in their roots, all flowers keep the light." Even if that light shines only for me. ***

Elisten,
My sweet. I take the words you say to me and i keep them in a special place in my heart. For though our worlds are different, our peoples despise each other for centuries of war and strife, when i saw you for the first time, i knew you were special. I saw your smiling face, your eyes that looked into my soul, and captured the light that flickers within my heart.
I care not what the realms say, I care not whether they approve of a Drow and a Grey Elf. All I care is that you and I have found happyiness. May that last a lifetime. No-one can ever take that from me.
The sunlight sparkling in your eyes is something I will never see, that is my biggest regret. But we will always have the night togther...now and forever.
Your dark elf,
Nilan
Thank you my sweet

To My Own:
I hear your warnings against the union of Nilan and myself. I hear and appreciate them.
To Nilan's Own:
I know he hears your warnings also. I also knows he appreciates the gestures.
To Both Sides:
I love Nilan, as much as any woman can love a man, and then even so much more.
So our people hate each other. But for what reasons?! It has been so long. So long! When will the day come when the past is the past? I know this is a crazy suggestion, but think!
It truly saddens my heart that friends can call themselves friends.. yet they cannot stand up and be friends when the time comes.
When it comes down to it.. love is blind. It cannot see colors. It cannot see the past. I t cannot see the future. Love sees only love.
Come hell or high water, I will still be standing at Nilan's side. Right where I belong. If you think this is wrong, then fine. My heart tells me it is right. The heart does not lie.

And you Yayaril, butcherous bounty hunter, you are lucky I only kill for a reason. And as yet your mere insults do not arrise to such.
I care less what the surface world thinks of my choice and love for Elisten. I care little if you righteous bastards say I can not know love....I know what treasure I have found.
If you do not approve, if you dare hold disgruntled thoughts...show them openly, cowards!!!...I do not fear you...
But pray...pray you never give me a reason...

The love of Elisten and Nilan is that of two souls. It is not a forboding of the ending of Surface/Drow elven hatreds. It does not involve ANYONE whom they choose not to involve.
Yayaril: Your pestilential attitudes are unfortunately shared by much of humanity, and are an exmplary example of the hatred Nilan's and Elisten's people share for one another. Perhaps you are secretly a member of one or the other species' - such closed-minded attitudes are certainly the forte of their general populace.
Nilan: I stand ready when you call for me, Abbil.
Elisten: Tis my fondest hope that we will meet in due time. Would probably be best if it were to occur before Nilan calls for me.

Totally OOC, I wish you two the best, don't know you Elisten, but you seem very nice, Nilan, you I've always adored and respected.
Not OOC...
Elisten, you're a traitor to the very air you breath and the grass your tainted feet trod upon. Your blood runs black and Corellon weeps at the loss of his child to such demonspawn. To think you could bear the touch of such vile filth upon the very flesh gifted to you by your elven kin is an abomination! You shall never know the Weave if you continue along this path, Elisten, only the rotted, putrid breath of the hells Nilan's kind are bred from. Think long and hard, sister, for you stand to lose all that our kind must have to exist.
Back to OOC... you two are so cute it's really quite sickening.

While the thought if a drow and elf is somewhat disconcerting to me, as a human I have no say in the affairs of the elves.
As a cleric, it is my duty to preserve the lives of those around me.. If by some chance, Elisten, you can soften the heart of the drow Nilan, then I wish both of you the best.
I pray for a time when I may see the both of when there is less animosity between your races.
ooc : Woo!

Ashiwi,
The air I breath, the grass I trod, the blood in my veins, my own flesh... are they not already tainted? Were they not tainted before my beginning, ages upon ages ago?
I _have_ thought, long and hard. I am not losing anything. I am gaining everything.
It is hard times when one can speak to another and throw daggers that wound deeply. Yes, Ashiwi, you wound me with your words. But know this: I forgive you. We are kin, and I will never forget that we are.

( OOC - Thanks.. but Nilan is the cute one, if you ask me! )

I do not wish to change Nilan in any way. That is not my endeavor. I only want to love him. And I do.
As for animosity between our races, I am sad to say that will never be different. In my heart of hearts, I wish that things could be different. I wish against all hope that one day, Dark and Light will walk hand in hand. I fear however, that it will never be so. I am only one person, as is Nilan. It will take more than that to make the world a better place. But I have comfort in the fact that I try.

Nilan,
For so many years I fought by your side.
For so many years I saw your pain but did not understand.
For so many years I knew you with a face like mine, like my fathers, like my brothers. That face has since been altered. Whether by choice or by coersion your face has changed nothing about you but your state of happiniess.
Were we all to be so brave....
Your sister in memory,

To those that wish us luck and the best in our union, I thank you. Elisten is my love, my heart, and my soul.
To those that have indicated that they rather see me dead than marry the grey elf priestess of evermeet, Elisten....I have nothing to say to you other than the light in my heart that flickers , does so for Elisten and Elisten alone. Do not think i have the slightest compassion in my heart for you that condemm us. Know that we shall meet someday, and on that day...prepare your soul for whatever god you worship.
Love to my Elisten,

Drow:
Dare I see such words spoken now from your mouth? One that has so surreptitiously spoken to me and accused me? I dare say that a taste of your own medicine might do you a fare bit of good.
Judge you what you see in a man, elf or other, and I guarantee you will find pain beyond physical means. I offer you no challenge, but life will repay you in kind for your misguidance.
I have withstood your commentary on my person, and my outward appearance, and have offered no ill-words in return. Such is the way I choose to deal with those who would turn a baleful eye upon me without knowing my will.
For Elisten I would say that such a being has cowardice in him, to judge another by looks and stature, however I know Nilan.
Long my father conversed with him, in the days of old long before many of these people roamed the fair valleys and dark caves of Toril. My father spoke to me of him, always in the highest respect, and no ill-words passed his lips that could be conferred upon Nilan's soul. I believe in my heart that he is an honorable and gallant being. Finlaria has gone now, and I can hear no more words of his travels with a certain Master Thilusan, but I will remember the stories and the light in his eyes as he told them forever.
Keep you well those words he has spoken to you, by all accounts I would deem them to be true, and yet not even scratch the surface of a deeper meaning. Nilan can be eloquent at times, but I know that some things they have not made names for yet.
My blessing upon you both, but do not take this to mean I wish a place in your hearts. I walk alone, and will until I have found what meaning there is to my own jaded existence.
Until we meet again Drow, I put it to you. Think hard of what you deem to be true or not, and know that not everything that walks in wool is truely a sheep.

Nilan is no coward, believe you me! He has the strength and the courage to stand by my side, when he knows so many are against such a union.
I have thought long and hard. It has not been easy, but I know my path. I know my future. I have faced many obstacles in my pursuit and I know I will face many more. If I ever faulter in my step, I know that Nilan will be there to steady me.
My life began the moment Nilan spoke to me. In my heart, I capture every single word that he speaks. I will not forget him, not even after the end of time.
