Chatterbox: Chirp at Cricket

Once upon a time,  there was a ship that was sent from the harbor with a load of stories as cargo. She sailed across an ocean until she arrived at her destination, a bustling city in need of some new tales. The ship stayed for several months trading stories, but than a bitter war broke out over the throne and the city was dissolved into battle. The ship thought it a good idea to leave before it was harmed so it continues down the cost until it reached a town. The town was smaller than the city, but it’s stories were better brighter and more vibrant. The ship felt drawn to stay there and they did. Two years later, the ship suddenly remembered where it had come from. It remembered the small port town and the day she hdd left. Suddenly, without warning, the ship sailed away. It sailed for at least a month, all the time not really knowing where it was going, but hoping it was going in the right direction. One hot summer day, the ship sighted land and a town. They had arrived home.

Hi, I'm Elvina or Lyra. I joined back in the day of crowd sorcery and then took a long break and never came back. But that's changing. 

I'm a big time reader ( over two fifty books in my tiny room) and  writer ( one NaNo and one Camp). I love being outside, being in the library, travling and making friends. Some of my favorite books are The Golden Compass, The Wolf Wilder, The Lord of the Rings, Narnia, KotLC and Eragon. 

I can't wait to be back on Chatterbox and i hope that at least one person remembers me.  

P.S. Legolas says evzu and I have no idea what that means.

Elvina! Hello! You've probably never even heard of me but I drew your Kyngdom charrie! It was years ago and I've improved a lot since, and I'm pretty sure you were long gone when I found the charrie sheet, but anyway:

Wow! Thank you so mutch. I actually think I remember you slightly. But that drawing is amazing. I wish I could draw like that.

You're welcome! Also, thank you! It's really nothing, I've just had a lot of practice. Do you really remember me? To be perfectly honest, I don't remember much from way back whenever it was I joined. That's probably the regret filter earning its keep, though. Oh, I'm rambling again, aren't I? Sorry. I'll stop now.

I remember hearing about you, but I don't think I was actually around when you were here. Welcome home! I'm excited to write with you.

PS. I envy you. I'd love to have a collection of books that large! :)

Thanks so much you guys. When I first looked around, I didn't see anyone I remembered but I guess I didn't look hard enough. Anyway, thank you so much for the warm welcome, I can't wait to really get back into the CB.

I don't really remember you, no...but welcome back! That piece up there about the ship was very well written! I also love Lord of the Rings and Narnia! I just two days ago finished Return of the King, it was really good! OH and I love how you named your CAPTCHA Legolas! 

Oh, by the way, I'm Silver :) Welcome back!
