Who is Victoria?

I was thinking to myself who Victoria Rose Oliverson is and I came up with the beginnings of her story. I hope you enjoy:


Victoria rose oliverson is a tall wise woman with long brown eyelashes, dark brown hair and a radiant olive complexion. She has four pet frogs: george, almoner, jack, and pepper. Living off the coast of Paranesia in a small quaint town named after her great great great grandfather Hanrich MeAnndelger lived Victoria.

She watered her garden everyday wanting the plants to grow tall and green leaving vibrance to fill the garden and her life. Her chore was to keep herself so engulfed in her garden that she wouldn't think about Yakani.

Yakani was a tame man, burnt brown eyes, warm chestnut hair, and a fierce gaze that startled old women and swooned the young. Yakani was charming most women adored him looking for any opportunity to persuade him to marry them. Obviously all of these women have failed but not victoria. She didn't even know who he was until a chance meeting.

Victoria often sings sweet songs and reciting poetry of sorts.

"Where to begin but ere they follow so sweet we sing and so be there no wallow…"

She would sing and dance in rhythm to the music of her garden. Yakani wandered past one day as Victoria religiously sang to her garden to bring life and light enriching its fertilized seeds with songs of peace and nourishment. Calmly she sat on a nearby stump and stopped earlier than normal to think. This is when Yakani walked by. In her heart she sang songs of sorrow. How she wished for what she did not have and knew not those wishes were making her unhappy. Her eyes filled with hopelessness and her face fell deeply into her hands. Yakani stopped peering around a nearby oak. Victoria continued to weep whilst attempting to sing sweet songs to her roses but the sweetness melted into words of an unsettled heart.

"Where to begin but ere they follow so bitterly they weep and in deep holes they follow… down down down they go…"

Yakani was a bit estranged to the words and felt a coldness around his being. Although her words were chilling and quite depressing something hopeful whispered from nearby in her words. She wondered about Yakani today and knew that words could not speak for her nor could her actions explain much of anything to the dashing Yakani. So in her silence she kept. Yakani walked on but pondered on those words of Victorias: "Where to being but ere they follow so bitterly they weep and in deep holes they follow…down down down they go…"


Question: My question is what do you think should happen next?
