Moving to Brazil to be with the love I found on Talisman Online
By karmahealer lvl. 66 Fairy
Earth and Seas server
Guild: Honored
On a cold winter night, in the northwest of the United States, I was introduced to the heat of Brazil all through talisman online. I've never been much of a gamer, actually this is my very first one. I didn't really know how to do anything at first, but once I learned to type in world chat that changed.
In the first month, I met people from 13 different countries and slowly lvled my fairy karmahealer to lvl 23. Then on Nov.9th I was running up a hill in Tiger Mountain, when GrandMagoJarek, a wizard lvl 20 from the Amazon region of Brazil messaged me for healing. We spent the next 4 hours getting to know each other and killing the occasional mob. He said "how dare they interrupt us, don’t they know we’re talking" when something would attack us.
Sometimes speaking different languages was a little hard, but the emoticons helped convey thefeelings being expressed. We laughed our way through the differences and the time zones. Of course, just when I have Brazil’s time figured out along comes day light savings time, lol. Talisman provided us with some beautiful scenery for our first dates. My favorite is the Tide Cave with the serene colors and peaceful music it felt like we were on a private vacation complete with “mana picnics”. Our answer to waiting for his mana to fill was to have a virtual picnic taking turns saying what we would bring J The calm was only disturbed bythe passing of the giant scary shark, makes my heart beat fast even now.
Jarek taught me so much about the game and soon I was able to team with others and not die on every quest. He hasn’t been able to help onething though, any who know me; knows "karma is always lost.^^ We developed a few close friends and got to help start a guild, with one ,Tuga. Our guild, Honored, was built on friendship. At first we added only friends or people we knew. We did this to build a good foundation of people who cared about each other and were willing to help. Because of this we have had few conflicts and lots of fun together.
Falling in love online is not always easy, we each have bad days too. One of mine took place during an FP run. I was having a lot of lag and trying to keep my boyfriend alive. Along came this fairy, who kept saying heal, heal, heal over and over. I was so mad of course I knew to heal him, I just couldn’t. How he treated me and calmed me down showed how much he cared, He protected me, reminded me of what was important and even had me laughing in no time. This bad day even gave us a private joke that continues on today.
Talisman Online introduced me to the love of my life and gave us many ways to nurture and strengthen it daily.
On November 9th, Jarek and I will celebrate our 1 year anniversary of laughing and loving together. Then in March I will be joining him in Brazil. We will be in our apartment and yes we will be playing Talisman Online....together.
