Sometime in or about June of 97.. this one wandered into the Fantasy Castle.. she tells of her first Master on her page.. then she met Dark Wolf.. W/we talked.. laughed.. hmm played around, ~sparkling smile at the memories~ had fun.. He asked her to wear His ko~lar.. she gladly jumped at the chance.. right after she said yes.. He stated there was another that He wanted to ask also..

She was devestated that He would need another.. she found it came from His past.. of being deceived.. not wanting to trust ONE fully .. sooo.. she agreed.. she tried to become friends with the other one that He wanted.. but first came the fact.. that she was the first to be asked.. she was to be the first to be ko~larred.. He had told her He had wanted it to be perfect, for it would be His first ko~laring also.. He researched.. she researched.. He wrote His lines, she wrote what she would tell Him, she wanted it to be perfect..

Two days before her ko~larring.. she finds out the other is to be ko~larred that night. once again.. she is devestated.. but she had to leave for work, and could not do anything about it... coming home she finds Him with her in the middle of a scene.. she leaves the chat.. and sits in the dark crying..

The next day she speaks with Him about why?? why was she not the first? He said the other was only able to that night, which at the time, this one didn't understand, since the other did not work.. but the next day.. she was soo worried, wanting all to go just right.. then a Woman from the past came.. left a message on the Board, saying she was looking for HIM.. this one wanted to not say a word.. but she couldn't.. she told Him, letting Him go to her if he wished, he came to me.

O/our ceremony was beautiful.. many friends had come to see U/us become Master and kajira.. this one felt radiant, so happy, she had told E/everyone at work what was to happen, though they not all understood.. to her it didn't matter.. she was going to be Dark Wolf's.. to her that is all that matter, she would accept all He could offer.

W/we left the public chat to consumate O/our union privately.. the other asked if anything was wrong, this one told her no.. W/we just wanted to be alone.. It seemed to upset her, and she said she was to take off the ko~lar, this one tried to talk her out of it.. for it was not what Dark Wolf wanted..

After that night, our {the other and this one's} relationship went from bad to worse.. every little comment was misconstrued.. every look, it all seemed as if we were digging at the other..

In October of 97, a friend of the other, went to Dark Wolf's hometown for some medical treatments.. the other.. asked for Him to meet her friend, and show her around, well it seems the friend and Him got along very well.. during the 2 days that they were together.. and a long story short in that aspect, the friend had a hand in this one's unko~larring a couple of days before Thanksgiving, even after this one had a plane ticket to meet Him.. on Thanksgiving, He called and said that this one could not come.. finally, it was agreed that this one would come.. but only as a friend... so in November of 97..this one flew up to meet Him.. she was ready to be His friend, but things changed.. and W/we took the v/t relationship to r/t..

W/we spent a week together.. ohh it was wonderful..~closing my eyes to remember~ Though, this one was a secret.. she could not tell A/any of what had transpired, she had no sister to confide.. the other could not know.. per Master's decision.. she hid.. in the shadows, with no ko~lar, nothing, so she took the ko~lar of a friend, to heal, and for protection.. while she talked and planned in the shadows with Dark Wolf..

During this.. this one and the other, did not speak, for once the ko~lar off, that was it..this one heard from mutual friends.. that we should become friends.. that each of us had been hurt by the other.. that we each are not as bad as the other thinks that we are.. etc.. this one cannot pinpoint the day that we started talking again, or in fact why we started talking.. but we did..

In December.. He went to visit the "friend" in another state.. and this one went up to His state to look for work.. the day He left.. He left a message for this one.. saying W/we could only be friends, once again, but His house was open for this one while she was up there.. this one flew up just after christmas, and was there again, a week, during that time.. she talked with the other and found that she was nice.. etc.. but she still could not tell her secret.. the day before she was to leave His house, He arrived home from the "friend".. He told her He should have left earlier.. He should have come to her.. that night.. W/we were together.. and not as "just" friends.. well this one found a job up there, and made plans to move.. to stay with Him..

during that time.. and the time that this one moved.. she became closer and closer to the other one.. we talked of the past.. and realized we both took the words the wrong way.. that it was our insecurities.. and jealousy that pushed apart from each other, rather than closer and bonding as we should have.. finally despite what Master said.. this one told her of her secret.. this one could not hide it anylonger from the one she calls friend and sister.. she was happy for this one.. and a new beginning for us was established..

From that day on, our trust has grown and flourished.. well during this time.. other things have happened.. Eventually Master, moved to be with the "friend" forsaking us both.. me in r/t.. and her in v/t.. but over this time frame.. our friendship has grown.. deeper.. we've become "SISTERS BY CHOICE"... Our trust has grown, and we can talk of the past, without misconstruing the words, or of the future.. and know that the other will be there no matter what..

the "other" is wisteria{DARKWOLF}.. she still wears His ko~lar, but that is alright, for she holds my hand during my sad days that come.. and this one holds her hand..

wisteria.. You are my sister.. my sister by choice.. not circumstance.. which makes it that much better.. Nothing or N/noone.. can come between us.. each day, each sorrow, each happiness brings us that much closer to each other.. Thank YOU for being my friend.. and my sister.. ~a tear of happiness and past sadness falls silently down my cheek~

So.. ~rising, stretching and wiping the tear away~ that is the story of The Ring.. the Sister by Choice award..and a short version of how wis and this one became SISTERS.. It was created by us.. for us.. and the wolves?? well they are a big part of our history.. wis' and mine.. and mean alot to us.. so we wanted to put our hearts into this ring.. into this award.. and so we used the wolves..

Thank Y/you for coming to see why this was created.. we hope we have not bored Y/you too much..

~walking to the door, opening it for Y/you~ we hope Y/you come back once again.. ~soft smile~

Enjoy every moment of happiness that You have.. for sometimes.. all you get is a moment..
