Fair wind and a light to guide me by
A thousand miles of ocean and a million years of sky
It's the promise of the poet - it's the storyteller's lie
Nothing's ever how it seems to be
Can you stay alive and still be lost at sea

This piece is done for *CrystallineEssence "Cat's Eye" conception: [link] If you haven't heard it, then go and read. Something worth to take a part.

And many thanks for =Behana who suggested me new way of making hair.

I tried to portrayed the main character Sora - On a summary of the story, it is said that Sora was robbed from her wedding (that's why that kind of dress) by an assassin. That just sounds so intriguing that I decided to work with that part. I just felt she wanted to have an adventure and now, robbed and taken far away from known, she is starting to understand that it is not exactly what she dreamed but she just cannot let her fantasies go, not yet.

So, almost everything on this is symbolical again - sea of dreams - full of dreams and illusions, promises never coming true. But she is not ready to turn her eyes away from it - and also the lyrics try to go with that.. Can you stay alive and still be lost to the sea? Can she manage to survive that adventure, hunt and escaping she got herself?

On the other hand, there is the bright but cold moon - a cold light. It is not the best comfort to have and she does miss her past life - the sun and a day, the luxury of noble's life, all the things she cannot have with her outlaw friends.

And that flower she holds on her hand - a warm and yellow and bright - it represent hope - for her, for her friends and maybe it is a flower that reminds here - she can find what she has looked not far, if she just looks around here.

And ofcourse - the most important thing of that story is also presented - the necklace "Cat Eye" As I have her on back, I couldn't draw that necklace on her neck, so she holds it, dreams and hopes - she is still lost to the sea...

and btw.. I first thought the title to be Moonlight but as I already had a piece named like that on my gallery, I had to change it.
