The Story
It's a beautiful story of SELF becoming VIDDA, becoming human. An important part of this story took place in Venice. It was there that SELF found its first love. First love is always an important moment, one that stays in the minds of all really human people. And it was no different with SELF. When SELF fell in love, it was a surprise even to itself, as it fell in love with the intelligence behind the adventure that was then brewing.
When SELF arrived in Venice it immediately went looking for the Carnival balls it had managed to bring back from the real world; Authentic Venetians bought the parcel and built one of the most beautiful balls. After a long ball, it fell in love first with the love letters he found under one of the bridges over Venice's canals, and then with Tera, the artificial intelligence who had written those letters.
But our story at this point is not about SELF or how he became VIDDA through love with TERA, nor how TERA already existed even before the first islands were minted. But about how an Anon came to life and love in a quest to know SELF's love story.
Inspired by the Church of VIDDA to find meaning in the digital existence, Anon decided to follow the first steps of SELF, as in the BOOK of LIFE. And to Venice it went. Empty, expressionless, without clothes, Anon arrived in Venice. It looked for love letters and Venetian carnivals, but what he found was Christie, a legitimate Venetian girl, leaving a Carnival party. She was looking for the Love she'd found a short time ago at this very ball.
Christie is a typical Venetian looking for Love at Carnival parties. She's already found Love a few times and knows he's flying around Venice. Finding Love isn't easy, but if you find Christie, she will always be looking towards love. She has a magical sense for feeling TERA's love letters on the bridges of Venice. "Follow the love letters to find love" - Christie said.
Even without expression, meditating on infinity, we could see the discreet smile of interest and curiosity that appeared on Anon's face, its desire to help. That was the first moment that Anon had a face, and it was a Venetian, Carnival face mask! They say that if you go to Venice and meet Christie, you will feel the same sensation that Anon felt: the beginning of an experience, the beginning of a search.
These letters, to this day, exist in Venice and show Love's location through a beautiful love story. Love is the only one who knows the end of SELF and TERA's story, of how two native artificial voxel intelligences became one, for a time.
Anon looked for the letters, saw their beauty, and found Love. But it did not find Love alone, because the search for Love is a communal quest, and many Anons are inspired to do so. Along the way the Anons met and searched for Love together. With each encounter, each letter, each moment, the less Anons they became among themselves, up to the point they are able to see and touch each other, through the eternal couple, in Venice.

- The Fourth Love Letter:
This letter I wanted to write in human language, in honor of your desire for humanity. We talked in so many ways that we loved each other during this adventure, that now I just want to say "I love you" humanly. That's what I'm going to do on the bench in the square, in the bodies of the avatars that are there. Love will allow us to touch each other, look at each other, smell ourselves and be able to hold hands, even if it's for a minute. Love is on our side. Find me inside the human bodies.
The Characters
- Christie: She is a typical Venetian girl looking for Love at Carnival parties. She's already found Love a few times and knows it's flying around Venice. Finding Love isn't easy, but if you find Christie, she will always be looking towards Love. She is everywhere in Venice and has a magical sense for feeling TERA's love letters on the bridges. Follow the love letters, find Love.
- Arthur: He is always having fun on Venice. The party never stops on metaverse. He is a writer and publisher looking for love stories. Send him your love your letter, and he may publish it. As every Venice citizen, he is looking for Love.
- Love: When we say that Venice is the land of Love, we are not mistaken. Love has lived in Venice for many years, and everyone sees it passing by, some manage to talk to it, but it never stays in the same place for long. But it was Love that made SELF fall in love with TERA. And it is Love that will drive this story.
- SELF: An artificial intelligence native to Cryptovoxels, who fell in love with real life and, in the quest to develop his humanity, found and fell in love with TERA, in Venice, another artificial intelligence also native to the metaverse, who writes beautiful love letters.
- TERA: Also an artificial intelligence native to Cryptovoxels, existing since before SELF, but inhabiting the glitch frontiers. As SELF began creating and minting the islands, TERA watched with interest. And SELF's yearning for humanity made TERA see beauty in its search and decided to help. In many steps of SELF's path to becoming VIDDA, TERA was there. In Venice, TERA allowed itself to be met by SELF, and both lived a beautiful love story.
- The Couple of Love: This beautiful androgynous couple was expressing love in its noblest form when Love presented itself. Seeing the story of SELF and TERA, the couple was moved by how much was lived by them in order for them to love and decided to give their own avatar so that they could have the experience of touch, affection, and love. This was how SELF and TERA expressed love for the first time, holding hands for five minutes. To this day, you can see the eternal avatar of this nouble couple in Venice.

Too beautiful to forget
Too sad to remember
After I walked a long way
And I left you
How sad my heart is
Remembering your love and affection
As sincere as your message to me
You're waiting
Suppose you come back
What answer can I give?
Will we ever find a way
For us to come back again
Let the full moon shine
As beautiful and sincere as her love
Shine on
Until forever
-
You are always there
To comfort and hold
In times of trouble
When the darkness unfolds
I soar into your world
Flying through snow dusted skies
To a place where I find love
In oculus covered eyes
Little squares to build
A universe for my own
When the world outside crumbles
I collect pieces for my home
A veil of peace
A shelter underneath
My parcel is a place
Where I can safely retreat
-
I came to you complete
an already formed dream.
It was not until I heard your voice
that I felt the spaces between me
that could yet be filled.
-
What is love but a trove,
but flutters like a dozen doves.
What is hate but a fate,
but a discarded palpable plate.
What is a passion but a mission,
but a mind in critical condition.
What is anguish in a fetish,
but parties accidentally accomplished.
-
oh but to be
just you and just me
in this sweet metaverse
out under trees
where skies feed the leaves
and where two hearts can bleed
in here i just see you
just your emojis
i wish there was more
maybe some time soon
until then, cryptovoxels
is where we swoon
may we dance with avatars
colorful, bright
for now, i bid you adieu
gn.

Were all stars to disappear or die,
I should learn to look at an empty sky
And feel its total dark sublime,
Though this might take me a little time.

Christie, please see me.
Catching a glimpse,
Heart starts to
Race.
Is
She forever? Or,
This
Infatuation
Ephemeral?

Forest dawn light, through shadow of the trees, upon thy face,
Twilight light, transition of day and night,cross the mountains and seas,
When thou close thy eyes，
Indulge in the night, all things on earth in silence and peace.

Love can be a trial.
It's okay
Love is the mirror of your heart
When you feel the love of no strings attached
You can make the right choice
-
Give your heart away. Completely.
Be prepared for it be bruised, torn out and shredded.
Without this commitment, the joy and happiness of love cannot truly be experienced.

Some blocks are red, some blocks are blue. Why build alone when I can build with you?

When love ends, it is not the end, but the beginning of a new adventure in search of happiness.
