Hello, my name's Vesuvius

Postby Akayuri » Sun Aug 14, 2011 6:44 am

Vesu-" Well, to start off I was made by the god Vulcan from the stone of the volcano I was named after with lava flowing from my head. The horns are from an incident with a certain spring...( greek mythology tells of a hunter named Actaeon who watched Artemis bathing in a spring, so she turned him into a deer) Being made of stone has it's benefits... I eventually turned into a statue and slept for a couple hundred years and lost my leg. When i woke up, I was on some volcanic island off the coast of Italy. Lucky for me, a Victorian inventor took residence on the island and built me a replacement leg. In return, I keep the lava away from his house when I make the volcano erupt to keep the tourists and resort companies away. Even with him there, it gets fairly lonely..."
║The island bathes in the sun's bright rays║

║Distant hills wear a shroud of grey║

║A lonely breeze whispers in the trees║

║Sole witness to history║

║Fleeting memories rise║

║From the shadows of my mind║

║Sing nonomori - endless corridors║

║Say nonomori - hopeless warriors║

║You were there ║

thanks! Now that i think of it, it looks a bit more gothic lolita than steampunk. Oh well :3
