    *The Blackest of Hearts*- INTRO UP! 2/25

    in The Sims 3 Stories and Legacies
    So, I've been wanting to write a story for some time, now. I've had some ideas, but have never attempted it my hand at actual writing. (Consider yourselves warned! :wink: )

    With the release of Aurora Skies this past Thursday in the Sims 3 store, I dug out a sim I have made quite some time ago and placed her down, just to have a look around town. Surprisingly, I found myself very excited about the town and having a ton of fun with my sim. I figured even though it was coincidental, and it was only supposed to be a "temporary" save, it'd make a perfect story!

    Let me Introduce you to Dee Blackheart.

    In game shot of her:

    If you like her, her files can be found here:
    Dee Blackheart: Sims3Pack (all CC listed)
    -or-
    Dee Blackheart: .sim file on Mediafire (No CC will transfer)

    Let it be known, I uploaded Dee to my studio prior to starting this save and creating story ideas, so the version of Dee in my studio differs from the Dee I uploaded to Mediaire. The Mediafire version of Dee is the one starring in the story. Both are genetically the same, but clothing, hair and traits will differ slightly.



    I placed her in this house, made by the very talented ruthless_kk:
    The Lair, in Aurora Skies.

    Now that you have met Dee, and know where she lives, I hope you will follow her on her adventure in Aurora Skies. Intro & first chapter due to be out soon! :D

      I remember Dee - or at least I think I remember seeing her at Simpure.
      I can't wait to read your story. If you are enjoying your game and your sim it will be so much easier for you :D

      Intro:

      <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/52165779@N00/8504706085/&quot; title="Screenshot by Sunflower227, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8513/8504706085_0296a087fd_z.jpg&quot; width="640" height="399" alt="Screenshot"></a>
      Here I go...again. I walk up the stone steps to my new home in Aurora Skies. I cannot tell you how many times I have started over. I have been all over the world, through many an era, and have met so many people- many of those people you can now only read about in a dusty old history book in a library or classroom.

      My name is Dee. Dee Blackheart. At least, that's the name I am going by now. No, that is not my given name. However, it's been so long now, I barely remember my human life or my birth name and family. I am a vampire, born in 1499, just before the turn of the century. And I am immortal.
      <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/52165779@N00/8505198153/&quot; title="Screenshot-13 by Sunflower227, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8239/8505198153_794ec04009_z.jpg&quot; width="640" height="441" alt="Screenshot-13"></a>
      Since being turned into a "creature of the night" in 1519, I have tried fitting in among the humans and their ways. For hundreds of years after being turned, I still retained some human emotions, which is supposedly rare for our "kind".

      I mingled with the humans, befriended them, tried to blend in with them and their ever changing ways. There are not many vampires left in the world, and the ones I did meet along the way didn't understand me. They didn't understand why I didn't see humans as a food source; why I tried to blend in with them. It was those human emotions that were still left in me- even after my heart stopped beating- I just couldn't bring myself to do harm.

      But something has changed in me. I find it sad it has taken me this long to see what others of my kind could see from the start. Humans- so weak. And this urge to taste plasma for the first time...it's overwhelming, staggering, and it will not cease.

      I felt my heart go black.

      I knew I had to start anew, somewhere different if I were going to live my life differently than I ever have before.
      <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/52165779@N00/8505417860/&quot; title="Screenshot by Sunflower227, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8530/8505417860_5b0f95a694_z.jpg&quot; width="640" height="430" alt="Screenshot"></a>
      After entering my "new" home, I was pleased to see my things had arrived ahead of me and had been carefully placed to my specifications. Being around for this many years, money is no object to me. I have more than I care to count, and I made sure to pay handsomely so my possessions and home would be precisely as I ordered.

      I lifted the embroidered cloth from my precious magic mirror- a gift from an old wizard friend decades ago- and blew the dust from it's ornate hinges. "Mirror...?", I asked. I did not like there was uncertainty in my voice. The mirror's glass swirled with vibrant color and a face appeared, ready to answer my questions. "Yes, Dee, I have heard your call. How may I service you My Lady?" I tensed, gaining control over my quivering voice. "Mirror, I did make the right choice by moving here to Aurora Skies, did I not?". There was a pause, before the mirror finally answered. "My Lady, I see in your future great power. Aurora Skies will not be the same as it were. I see great power...great power...." The mirror's voice trailed off and eventually faded, and the glass went flat once again. I was able to see nothing, not even my own reflection.

      You write very well! This is a very good intro. :D
      Although I don't know yet what caused Dee to have a change of heart (I imagine I will learn that as the story progresses) I already have a sense of her. I look forward to reading more :D

      I believe you found the secret to writing a story, it's about finding a topic that is interesting....this is. When Dee first turned, wanting to be the person she was, "before" was all she could do, she didn't know anything else and she wasn't "hungry" for the power her new status could bring her, not yet.
      What worries me about the mirror is that at no time does it confirm Dee's moving to Aurora Skies was the right choice. It speaks of power but not necessarily her's. I wonder what lurks among the shadows in this town? It is dark often, some may say that is lucrative.

      I can offer no criticism at this point because that was perfect. And besides, there is not much criticizing an intro even if I did want to be picky :wink:

      Awesomely written, and I noticed as wicki did that the mirror didn't confirm that her move to Aurora Skies was the right decision for her. I guess we shall see!

      Good work. 8)
