Prologue - "To Live Forever"

I just read it again. I love it, Em! Such pretty writing. Lots of questions and hints of things to come.

I never noticed how pretty the hag's eyes are.

I really like those eyes. I'm not sure where they're from, but they're a pretty murky grayish-green, just what I had in mind. I'll have to post a picture of her when she was young. I think she still has wrinkles in the picture I have of her as an adult, but she was actually really pretty once.

First of all, I'm so glad you're sharing Penelope's Journey with us here.
Secondly, I really like the simple, but appropriate layout you've got set up for it. It works well for this tale's time period. Don't you think?

Now on with the show...

What a great start! You write so intelligently and your words are so well thought out, Emily.
I'm already intrigued by Onyx and can not wait to learn more. I like your story already!!!

THAT was intriguing!!!

I love the pictures and the I have to agree with Sugah - the way you wrote the prologue is so well done.

I can not wait to learn more of this hag with the old face and the beautiful eyes............................

Thanks for sharing your story with us Em!

Wow, Em! This prologue was EXCELLENT! I see you changed the name, I like “To Live Forever”, great choice!

All your pictures were wonderful, and your writing is very captivating! I love the way you set up this story, it goes very well with its contents!

Even though the hag is all wrinkled and barely has any hair, she is still a handsome woman! She must have been GORGEOUS in her youth!

You did a marvelous job decorating the hag’s kitchen! I love the garlic and herbs hanging on her wall, great details!

That is so Kool that the taverness was a townie and you added her to your story! She looks great!

OOOO! I LOVED the slightly distorted reflection of the hag in the mirror, AWESOME effect!

I look forward to reading more of your story Em, I am definitely very intrigued!

Thank you so much, everyone, for all of the wonderful comments. You're making me excited to keep working on this so I can have another update soon. I took some more screenshots and so far I have 9 pictures for the next installment. I'm not sure how many pictures I need to take still before I can upload again. It depends how I decide to break it up.

I made that layout a long time ago, when I was just writing it and not simming it yet. Luckily the pictures fit between the borders just perfectly.

"To Live Forever" is just the title of the Prologue. I seem to have better luck with chapter by chapter names so far. And the mirror effect was just an accident. I didn't edit it at all, it just looked that way in game. I'm glad you liked it though!
