Acceptance (Story for Teardrop)

Acceptance

An early morning mist blanketed the Endless Forest. The trees appeared like ghosts, and the bodies of sleeping deer lay in their various beds. The air was too cold for Gabe, he could not sleep this night. Sitting up, he shook the little bit of ice from his black fur, and went to the Pond for a drink of water.

The stag walked through the foggy forest like a specter. He had not met very many of the deer here, for the ones who have looked upon him were struck with fear. His face appeared painted, and four red horns sprouted from his head. The other deer had not seen one like him.

Making it to the Pond, he bend down and lapped the water. It was just as chilly as the air, but quenching his throat helped his body relax. He didn't notice a fawn nearby, who also drank from the pond's water. The little one looked up to him, her heart skipping a beat.

The stag heard her and turned, revealing his face. The fawn was immediately terrified, running off as quickly as she could.

Gabe shook his head, "Perhaps I will never make any friends here.", he said to himself.

"Not necessarily.", another voice said nearby. The dark stag turned to see another stag sitting in the water. He enjoyed the light waves from the Pond on his green fur, and his face was covered with a green mask with lightning bolts on it.

"Who are you?", Gabe asked the other stag. Smiling, the masked deer replied, "They call me Blixt."

The green one stood and gave a light bow. He was a gentleman around others, and unlike so many that Gabe had met before, he would never judge another by appearance. "So, why do you think you're having a hard time making friends?", he asked.

"I don't know. Maybe they're afraid of me.", Gabe admitted. Blixt nodded his head, "Some deer are wary around those they have never met before.

Vote for the better set for Caw

We decided on the Beach Set! Thanks to everyone for the votes, I can't wait to play him in the Forest!

Heya guys, I can't decide between two sets, so I need a vote.

It'll be for my new deer, Caw, who lived on an island for many years and finally was brought back to The Endless Forest.

The two sets below were put together from suggestions, because I wanted him to have kind of an island look.

Set 1 - Tribal



Pega liked the long mask, and I love the venetian carnival antlers. I thought the kabuki pelt would look neat with this, like the red line was a symbol of his rebirth or something.

Set 2 - Beach



Suggested by Cato, the golden butterfly pelt gives him a kind of sandy look, and the magpie antlers look like grass. The antelope mask has a kind of tiki feel.

So yeah, which one do you like better? They both are awesome to me, so I can't pick XP

Off topic but Left 4 Dead parodies!

These still make me laugh :3

I couldn't resist (new deer)

Not going to play him yet because I want him to grow up, but...



I wanted to make Caw!

His biography is pretty much the shortstory Banished, and I think I'd have a lot of fun playing as him. He has a much different personality than Quad, Pent, Trunks, ect.

Picto!

I need help deciding on a set for him, too. He is 'The Islander', so an island/sea-ish look would be cool (I don't really want the orca set even though that would be perfect for him). Any suggestions would be cool.

Potential sets :



I feel bad for making another deer, but then again I think he would be fun to play as.

Unraveling the Wirewood - Kahlan's Story

Warning - a little gore and violence in this story

Night Runners

Kahlan awoke with a headache. She didn't feel right...where was she?

Last she remembered was the Twin Gods' hill, but now she was in a dark cave. The sounds of dripping water echoed in the distance, and nearby, she saw other figures laying around.

Surprisingly, her eyesight was very good, even though she could tell she was deep in the cave, where no light seemed to penetrate. The doe looked to the others, curious as to who they were.

"He...hello?", she called to them. Her voice was raspy, but she was able to speak. A few of the other deer awoke and sat up. One of them nearby said to her, "You're up early, young one." He was odd looking - his fur was a dark color, and his eyes seemed to glow.

"Where are we?", Kahlan asked. "You don't remember, do you?", the other deer questioned. The doe shook her head - her memory was still very fuzzy. The deer smiled to her, "You were chosen as a Night Runner. We gave you our curse, but it is as much a gift. We are no longer creatures of the Forest, no longer beings of the daylight, but rather..."

"We're...nocturnal?", Kahlan asked. The other stag smiled, "You catch on quickly. Go, look at yourself in the water. You will not recognize yourself.", he replied.

The doe sat up and walked over to the reflective pool nearby. She peered over, surprised to see a clear image of herself...and shocked that she looked nothing like what she had before.

Her face was longer, with little sharp teeth that poked out of her mouth, and her fur was pitch black. Two glowing green eyes stared back at her...her eyes...

She backed away from the pool, she couldn't believe what she had become. "What did you do to me?", she asked the stag.

He gave a little chuckle before he said, "You were infected by one of our kind. You are one of us now!

Ever wonder what Brandy acts like?

Here's a couple of videos my mom took while I left the house to run an errand. The voice you hear is my mom.

Bonus Points to anyone who can name what my mom was watching on TV (first video only, i think the second video was a commercial) Eye

The Summoned Evil (prequel to a story)

"A sprinkle of blood orange juice..."

The juice splashed the cold dirt, where inscriptions were carved in a circle.

"The skull of a fawn..."

A skull was placed in the center of the circle. It began to emit a slight green light at this point.

"Two pieces of wood turned stone..."

Two small chunks of petrified wood were placed in each eye socket on the skull. The light got brighter and brighter.

"...And a word of summoning..."

Iugulare stood on her hind legs. The infection supported her as she watched the dark surroundings grow brighter and brighter with the green hue. She grinned - all the pieces were in place, everything was working. She just had to finish it.

"Oh valde malum phasmatis, exsisto existo!"

With a burst of light, the offerings on the ground were swallowed up, and soon after a form took shape within the center of the ring. It was a creature unlike any that ever walked on the Earth, a creature from another dimension. Iugulare's summoning ritual was a success.

The light faded, and before the infectious stoat was a young dragon. The creature's skin shimmered in shades of green and white, and her eyes were a dark green that stared at the one who summoned her. She had great wings and two legs, along with a long tail. She was much more interesting than Iugulare imagined her to be - she had no mouth, but instead, had a slit in her chest. Two small arms were at both sides of the slit. This was most curious to the stoat.

"The great...and terrible...Anirapio. You have been brought here to aid in my quest to claim this world.", Iugulare said to the dragon. The creature looked back at her - it strangely understood the language, and was able to reply using a form of telepathy, "Why would I serve you? I could easily...", but she stopped the sentence, examining her summoner for a moment, reluctantly saying, "No...you lack a soul.

Another artwork request (sorry for asking again)

Heya everyone, I'm coming up with a new 'villain' for one of my deer, much like Iugulare, the infectious stoat who rivals Quad.

This one will be a villain for Trunks, and I plan to write a story about the two of them.

So this character is a dragon. I haven't come up with every detail about her, but the idea is that she is summoned by Iugulare to serve as a minion, but the dragon goes off and does her own things instead.

She doesn't have a mouth, but she has a long 'pouch' (it's more like a tube) that runs the length of her belly. She originally didn't have any kind of arms, but Silent helped me decide for her to have little arms (almost like praying mantis ones) that she uses to capture her prey. She forces them into the 'pouch', where she is able to feed off of them, and after draining the energy and nutrients from her prey, she releases them through the tip of her tail (the end of the tube). Depending on the prey, she may feed off of them for only a moment, or in cases where the prey is full of nutrition, she may hold them in her pouch for a day or two.

In addition, she steals their spirit. The victim, when released, is virtually a zombie, while the essence of the victim remains trapped in the dragon's belly.
