The Lost Londelozi - from Cheryl Penn

A colorful envelope... A lively and modern city? Zalop. The envelope is a prelude to a lost and ancient world...
Important findings that will shed light on centuries of questions around the Lost Londelozi.
Cheryl so kindly sent her L chapter to me even though I didn't participate in the 26 Book. Lucky me! I was thrilled to get this piece because I met some of the Bhubesi Women not long ago, and this complements the story so nicely.

 

The beautiful Scryer, was she possibly one of them? Was she the First One? The Women that hold up the world. How did it start? Where did it it all go wrong?
Thwarted Love...

Him. The valiant and gracious Prince. A bit too much of a Dreamer? Too absorbed in his Love to see that something was going on in the City. He didn't want to be a Prince anyway, he wasn't interested. Only Her...

 

How did the far seeing Scryer not see it coming? Were her hands tied? The Scribe.... He knew for sure. Scribes know everything. He was the Key to the City. And he would have his Revenge, after all these years.

 

He was the one who organized the celebrations, three days and three nights of wild partying, all around the Main Pantheon. But that Night was the last time anyone saw his Woefilled eyes. It was also the last time anyone saw the Fairy Prince. Those who survived the fiery swords of the Warriors dreamed the same dreadful Dream every night for years after...

 

Remains of the Red Tortoise were found all along the cost of the Bay of Londelozi. Archaeologists are examining the precious vestiges, eagerly awaiting new Secrets to be revealed.
The One with the Far Seeing Eyes... well, some say the Women who Hold up the World are still living among us. Maybe there is One right beside you and you don't know it.

 

I think I could write on for pages with this story, that's how powerful this booklet is. Cheryl, your imaginary world is an enchanting one. I love how you bring on elements of a story with each new page, but leave it to the readers to build their own tale around them. Absolument FAB! Thank you HS for sending it to that lazy SP-CB!

Fantastic work by Cheryl, as usual. leaves me speechless. why she isn't ridiculously famous and sought after by every art gallery in the universe, is a mystery. and how does she produce so much great work so fast? does she have staff? elves who come in the night?

Hmmm, the beauty of living in Europe. You can be ANYWHERE in Europe within two hours. It's great, I miss that a lot.
