Speech of Giselher to the memorial celebration from 10th Mai 2019
Hello dear Homins, hello dear friends of Mai,
so you see, I‘m Giselher … the last guildy of Tyneetryk‘s Tears and High Officer of our dear Mai.
The last two years I met Mai nearly every day here on Atys, and so I want to share now some memories about her with you.
I have prepared some words and I will copy it line after line here into the chat; So please listen:
I met Mai the first time on Silan in February 2017… Maybe two weeks after creating Giselher.
Silan… yes, at that time one could not meet Teeneemai there, because she was already a Mainland char; So the beautiful Minimei, another one of her charismaticly alternates, picked me up there:
I was on my way to that giant Kirosta with a spontaneously builded group of Homins. At the entrance of the Kitin Jungle I saw that strange Tryker-Girl: A lady with Pink hair and a cute name like stolen from a sheaply comic… 😃 BUT! With a sack full of well hints for that warrior group!
She talked to me something and I was on my way to loose my group, which were still running straight to the Kirosta. At first I wanted to follow that player group, but after some steps I saw still her eye on me. I stopped and watched the backview… Then I tried to hide behind one of those hills there. But her eye never left me… After a minute I returned and stood in front of her again. Oh my, what would I say to her...?? 😃
Oh, I needed quickly an good idea, and yes I found some Kitins there and began to show her my new developed technic for killing Keepes: I took a sword in one hand and a second one to the other hand and started to beat them with strong cries and cool loopings.
Oh yes, she was very impressed, and she didn‘t get tired to tell me nice things about my show for her. 🙂
Oki, today I know, she simply thought, that guy needs urgently help with the Ryzom-game… 😃
And so the story went on: She asked me for train me and I agreed. Now, I needed to leave Silan and joined her Guild, too. At the Mainland now, Mai overtook my training with the Teeneemai avatar. She was honestly with me, because she told me from the beginning about her terminated illness. So we played always under macabre circunstances, because of her awful pains all the time. But I was firmly determined to leave her never and carry on with her until the end…
One day she fell into my arms (Yes, it is possible ingame!), after what I fell into love with her… 😃
I got the idea maybe my love can comfort her a little… I know now, it is a dangerous way and I had discussions and struggles about this in real-life and ingame, too…
...but I will be honest I could just not resist, and I used it as a powerful „tool“ for getting more empathy for that situation, too.
From that time on nobody would be able to count all my tears; But know, tears will clean the thoughts. And cleaning thoughts are needed for finding honestly words…
So the things went on, day after day. Mostly we played between around 13 and 18 o‘clock. Mai trained me to some masters over the month in spite of all her discomfort. And my knowledge and experience about Atys grown, too.
I told her: Wherever I go, I‘m whispering your name in the wind … my dear Mai…
You are always in my heart, and so if I go out you can see what I see… just theoretically.
So she was able to see the Baltic Sea for example; And two times she was also in the winterly montains of Austria… I sent her a lot of photos and anecdotes from my trips, envirements and doings, because she couldn‘t do any trip anymore for years...
A bad thing I have to tell you, too: I had to learn to share her... 😕
because of her hot engagement for the problems of all those other homins on Atys… Indeed, she was our favourite! …
And in addition, you will already guess it, I was not alone wanting to get her as my friend… .-D
For two times over these two years she was in the hospice for some weeks,
and for two times she could win that awful struggle and could return to her beloved Atys.
But now the final curtain is fallen at this third time…
The last time I met her on Atys was at Atysmas 2018 the 23th december, that day before when she entered the hospice again.
In the morning of the 24th I sent her a merry christmas mail with a funny screenshot artwork of our training the month‘s before.
She wrote to me at the afternoon on 24th. then:
„My dear Giselher,
Thank you for your lovely greeting. It cheered me up when I read it and saw the image.
I received the phone call from the Hospice at 10 am today. I am now in the Hospice and I am looking forward to my treatment starting tomorrow.
I will try to send you updates on my progress.
I am also looking forward to being back on Atys with you.
Love and hugs,
Mai“
Oh my… I hope her lovely words will also touch your hearts, dear friends of our Mai...
You see, at that time we were full of hoping for her return after some weeks maybe... like the year before.
But this time the things changed not to a good way and I received more and more bad news about some complications.
So her final words to me were from 20th April:
„My dear Giselher and Thomas,
It is getting very hard for me so I will just wish you a Happy Easter.
love and hugs Mai“
Now a word from me to heaven:
Oh my dear Mai,
I‘m sure, you got in well;
As I told you, now you can be with your sweethearts again… 🙂
and drinking wine, too; In that way you liked it before your illness.
And you know it already:
You were not only the leader on Atys for me;
Because you did also the last path before me, you gave me an mighty item on earth, too:
Namely a fear-killer.
That day when the death will knock on my door, I will give him just a smile:
Do your Job quickly, please!
I‘m looking forward cos soon I will meet my dear Mai again...
Thank you for your attention my dears...
Finaly I want give you a music link: It was one of her favourites, what she gave me;
So lets watch it together now...
