She moved like smoke over the water, like a falcon flirting with the earth. Her white eyes blazed through me. I was caught, trapped, a fish in a net of crimson and sapphire and deepest black. I asked her name, and she would not answer. She ran, and I chased her, racing the dawn and the noon and the night, through valley, over mountain tor. Sweat darkened my flanks, and stung my eyes, and still I followed her, this brilliant will-o-the-wisp, weaving through trees as she slowed. We emerged onto a cliff-top, I breathing deeply, panting, though she seemed indifferent, aloof, a gentle mist of white steam curling from her nostrils as we halted. Those glittering eyes, matching the frost-fire in the sky above, turned upon me, and she trotted forwards a few steps and disappeared in a patch of tall bullrushes. I followed her eagerly, the ache in my loins matched only by the ache of my legs, so far had we run. I longed for her, this filly without a name. I dropped into a pool of icy water, and snorted at the cold; her delicate head was lowered to drink; every movement screamed of an impossible grace. Her beautiful eyes were closed in quiet ecstasy. Golden moths hovered and swooped over the tiny grove, their light lending an incandescent glow to our silent tryst. I lowered my muzzle to the surface and drank of the bitterly frigid water, my eyes glued to her face, the mane that tumbled in a snowy cascade over her elegant neck. She lifted her muzzle, diamond droplets falling from her lips to chime into the pool, and looked at me. "My name-" She said softly, in a liquid, musical voice. "Is Royale."

This newsletter was "born" back in March 2007, from a conversation between ~Lareth and =FrozenStarRo, who with the help of their friends *Iardacil and =Sylwiaa , wanted to make something to promote known and unknown photomanipulators alike here on DeviantArt. As of September 2009 =ImaginaryRosse joined the project and will be helping us out with the weekly choices. While things have changed over time, the essence of the newsletter is still the same. As of recent, the talented =Behana has joined us in bringing you this weekly newsletter and we are excited to have her on board. This is a special feature, with a selection of 50 manips from the past year that we loved.

<Hork-Bajir, come on out,> I said firmly. Slowly the big creature crawled out. He stood erect, blinking in the dim evening light.
"Not Hork-Bajir," he said. "Jara Hamee. My name. Jara Hamee."
