Pensively I announced to The High Council Of Dwarfins that I had to embark on a perlious mission to The Isle Of View in Second Life.
“Second Life?” pondered the woman sat next to me, “Is that still around?“. The females either side of me found this highly amusing, I just raised my eyebrows.
“The mission is perilous“, I announced, “Love Is in the air, everywhere I look around, Love is in the air, every sight and every sound“.
The lady stood to my left groaned and said “Will you please stop singing that bloody song!“.
With that I left the hall.
“Gwarda!” I shouted as I saw Gwarda Rockbeard, “I’m off on a Perilous mission to The Isle Of View in Second Life“.
“Why?” asked Gwarda.
“Love is in the air, In the whisper of the trees, Love is in the air, In the thunder of the sea“, I replied.
Gwarda frowned and went about her business.
I then spied Rehri Rockbeard and went to speak to him.
“Don’t you dare bloody sing!” he told me, “Oh and be careful, I hear there are Lindens there“.
The news about Lindens worried me somewhat but I was determined to make the perilous journey to The Isle Of View, so I went to see the dragon masters, who conveniently had a dragon who would be able to take me to The Isle Of View, free of charge, as long as I promised not to sing!
On arrival I spotted swans, love hearts, balloons, benches and humans. One looked important, she also had a dog and was posing for photographs alongside another female human. She was some sort of Baroness but she soon left, shortly after I’d kicked her in the ankles.
The remaining human female looked at me, “Ciaran, is that you?” she asked.
Panic set in, “No no, I’m umm, a Dwarfin, cousin of The Rockbeards, and a flagon of your finest ale if you don’t mind kind lady“.
The human female frowned “Please stop calling me the human female, you know I’m Xiola Linden!” she implored. “What brings you to The Isle Of View?”
“Love is in the air, In the rising of the sun, Love is in the air, When the day is nearly done” I replied.
Xiola just looked at me, “Ok get on the fence and take a photo“, she said. Now this was exciting, a photo of a real life Linden and me! A humble Dwarfin, well a King actually, but that’s not the point! I posed, posed some more, and then posed again. However once I realised that she really wasn’t going to get me a flagon of ale I decided it might be time to let someone else meet Xiola.
“Ciaran“, Xiola called after me, “Will you please stop singing that bloody song!”
I nodded and walked away, quietly singing to myself, “And I don’t know if you are an illusion, Don’t know if I see truth, But you are something that I must believe in, And you are there when I reach out for you.”
If you pop to The Isle Of View today, you too may see a Linden!
