Once upon a time, a boy and a girl met. He was dedicated to his destiny. She was pledged to another. She was deeply moved by his affections, but it was not meant to be. She wed with her betrothed, and he took to his path. Their names were Lady Nyria and Visatr.
Once upon a time, another boy and girl met. They fell deeply in love. Her parents forbade them to marry, but they wed in secret. She was disowned. One night, the boy disappeared. For years the girl searched for him, losing their infant daughter to sickness during her quest. She despaired, believing she would never find love until the day he reappeared and swept her into his embrace. Their names were Leiya and Cite.
Once upon a now, another boy and girl met. They had begun playing games together. Over time they became friends. One day, the boy asked a favor of loyalty outside the games of the girl, which she did happily. And although a great distance separated them, they grew closer and closer each day. Soon they stopped playing games and chose instead to spend their time talking about many and varied things. They found they had many things in common and shared many passions.
Soon they were each invited to visit mutual friend from the game for a week. They were thrilled, for although they had played together, talked together, shared together, and traded pictures, they had never met face to face. Their names are Kris and Travis.
Joy and apprehension swirled in her mind as she rode with her friend to the station to meet him. Would he be as he was when they spoke? Would she like him? Would he like her? Would they still be as well matched together as they had been before? Would the enchantment and magic they had felt endure? Deep in her heart she already knew...
Hope and anticipation filled his thoughts as the bus carried him closer to her. He knew she loved him and he loved her. He knew what they wanted together, now only to make that happen. They had created a magic together... a magic that would last as long as they stood together.
They pulled into the parking lot and she got out of the car, sighting him immediately. He took a step toward her and opened his arms. Any hesitation she might have had vanished as she stepped into his embrace.
Nyria and Leiya are characters created by Kris for role playing on the internet, just as Visatr and Cite were created by Travis. These fictional characters brought the real people together in the most unique and intense way. Kris and Travis fell in love without ever seeing each other in person. When they did meet, that love was reaffirmed and solidified. And that is the greatest story of them all.
After deciding to move to Northern Virginia, Travis and Kris began to transform other of their fantasies to reality. They live together with her two children, Mullaney and Ian. Do they still play characters online? Oh, yes. Between them they have over two score of characters. Some have never met, some are friends, some lovers, and some mortal enemies. But as Travis tells Kris: The Internet is just a fantasy world. It is what you do to turn that Fantasy to Reality counts.
On April 10, 1999, two years after meeting in person for the first time, Travis and Kristyn entwined their souls in a Renaissance ceremony held in the Ft. Lauderdale area. This is a milestone in life, but merely a step along the path they have chosen to take. Some would say it is the culmination of a story that began in a long ago chat room, but Travis and Kristyn consider it a beginning, a new chapter.Special Thanks to:
