Ode to Amethyst Cove

Oh Amethyst Cove

The best of all the coves

No offense to Kyanite

I'm just not that into snow

Oh Amethyst Cove

I'm under your control

Just show the way to go

And I'll go

What secrets do you hide?

What more places do you hold?

Oh, Amethyst Cove

You're the best

#

Oh Amethyst Cove

What more do you know

You have seen me come and

You will see me go

Your dark starry nights

Your long sandy coast

There's more to what's life

Than I'll ever know

#

Oh tell us your stories

Enlighten us all

Engulf us with wisdom

What more do you know?

#

It'll take a while but you'll see

The world the way it truly is

And you'll feel

Like you've never been alive

before

When you'll be

in Amethyst Cove

#

Oh Amethyst Cove

Our glorious home

A nation of people

That we call our own

Our chests beat in union

Our voices are one

The land we hold sacred we call

The land of Amethyst Cove

I nudge open the doors to the Aurora Lake compound.

"Welcome back Agent. I trust your journey wasn't too difficult?" The woman at the desk asks as she raises a curious eyebrow.

"Nothing too difficult. One flash of a PBI badge sends normal law enforcement scrambling for cover." I nicker softly as the metal sheath I call a tail pushes the door closed behind me. "Besides, they didn't have anything to hold me on when they searched me and found no drugs. Ben and Crumpets really should work on hiding what they plant better." I walk past the desk as she unlocks the door to the back. I step through into an empty room, as the door slides closed behind me a video screen turns on and the all seeing eye of the PBI pops up.

"Hello Agent STEELHOOVES. It's good to see you back." The disembodied voice comes from all around me.

"Thank you. Now, I need a bit of help with something..."

A lot of you probably won't get it, but.. there are times in life, where you just feel that you need a change.

When you stay too long at the same place, the thoughts in your head begin to rot. Times like that you look at the same house, the same beautiful forests, the same gorgeous grasslands and mountains... And feel like you've taken everything there is to take. And given all that you can give.

It is never good to stay for too long. It spoils the fun. You have to feel the atmosphere, feel - and leave at exactly the right time. Not too early, nor too late.

This land will always be my home, but as with everything - there comes a time for fresh people to replace the old ones. Just like what the Council of Karma very recently and very intelligently did.

This land has and always will be my true home.

I hope you understand.

You have no idea how much of you will stay inside of me. And that's only for the best.

Goodbye, Amethyst Cove. Our paths shall cross again. None of us is leaving permanently.

Citizens of Amethyst Cove!

You can count yourselves as the few lucky ones, who can come out of the crisis with only the mental scars of reading the news. Our beautiful land has stayed almost completely untouched.

Although we are amethystians, we are also Periwinkles. And we are not alone. We must not forget others, who have not been so lucky. The majority, the unfortuante.

So I call out to share our riches and goods with others. Not to be lost in greed and stay humble and kind.

Thank you!

~redis213, Lt. Governor of Amethyst Cove

AMETHYST COVE

The beautiful land, that is always classy and fancy.

It is true. Our city design matches with the nature surrounding it. We have kept everything in balance and neat. The credit to the design, needs to go to the governor, /u/NaughtyPenguin, who has beautifully captured the unspoiled nature and the magical environment in the design of the city that you see here.

It is not a giant block of metal completely ruining the nature (like the usual trend seems to be). No, it is one with the nature and the nature responds with the same.

The mysteriousness can be felt hiking in the enchanting forests or scaling the hypnotizing mountains. Some say that's where /u/Peristotle himself reached enlightenment. Together with the /r/PBI HQ in the Aurora Manor, you can never be sure who is who, what is what. You'll grown to love being in the unknown.

The nights I've spent dancing through the woods with the full moon shining on you, seeing what more secrets this land holds. Ending up by the coastline, grasslands as far as the eye can see, watching the moon set into the foggy sea. Sitting by the cliff there, it's not hard to be enlightened, to reach nirvana. Everything about this land is special. Each season holds even more places to visit, more to photograph, more places to make your debut film in.

The land is versatile. The land is sacred and fragile. But survives.

We are also the lead provider of Periwinkle Meth. (Yes, you are able to buy it for a "friend")

As said by our Governor,

Amethyst Cove is a beautiful land full of contrast, a point where rolling hills and grassy vistas meet dense piney forests and cold taigas.

SO WHAT CAN YOU DO HERE?

This was the background. Now comes the foreground, the part where you come into play.

• Take this place as a Chroman /r/EarthPorn. Share pictures of what you find and think are interesting. Either pictures you've taken yourself or ones you have found on the internet. Don't forget to mention the land the picture was taken in (OOC: Just make it up. Add some gibberish to make it more interesting. Check the topographical map to see what would sort-of work. Visit other lands to see which would be most suitable for your picture.)

One of the reasons why lands exist is to divide people up into sections. It is difficult to answer every single question in /r/periwinkle and it gets spammy very quickly.

But also:

• Share your questions.

If you choose to settle down into Amethyst Cove, me and /u/NaughtyPenguin will do whatever it takes to get you prepared for the next fight. We'll walk you to the battle ourselves together with the awesome company of others amethystians and we will fight. Together.
