Private RP with Pickle96 :3

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Most of the normal deer would avoid him, those scales on his hide seeming to be dulled with a slight age. He wasn't that old truthfully, and the dull sheen was like from stress and a lack of visits to the Ponds waters lately. Standing near the ruins he was on one of the upper rocks, the bleeding that fell from his eyes dripping down onto the stones below as he shifted on his hooves.

It appeared that the King was lost in thought, something rare... he never truly showed much outward emotions much less thoughts in general. And slowly he took a step down, flames burning high on the candles that he held on that rack. A sigh, and slowly, Iviran was making his way away from the ruins, and the graves that seemed to be haunting him there.

"I see nothing... nothing that remotely looks like me in this place. Those rumors are just rumors... I have no child that's alive... I have no son..." Iviran's words came out with a tone of vile disgust, but there was also just a small tint of guilt within them as he continued his walking... to where, he didn't know. No one, at least he thought no one, would disturb him.

Safear sat alone on one of

Safear sat alone on one of the graveyards topmost pillars. absently she picked the bits of moss and rocks from her claws that had been lodged there during her accent. Breifly she wondered if the old weathered tower would collaps with her added weight, but the thought quickly passed to be replaced with her ever present concerns.

"oh, Bayleen. Will I be able to take care of Fleur?"

Her companion bayleen had died just a day ago leaving her young fawn in her care. Never before had Safear had to play mother, it was a difficult role, one she wasnt sure she could manage.

The stag stopped when he had

The stag stopped when he had heard a voice... glancing back to see the one that was atop a pillar. He shifted, he stared... before moving around and listening to what she had said. Maybe it was curiosity, maybe it was just him wanting to inspect... or just maybe he was drawn to this stranger out of pure whim. It wasn't certain but as he approached he kept those blood crying eyes focused before stopping.

Iviran stayed silent, if she noticed then she noticed... if she didn't. Then he wouldn't care. Shifting, one leg came up in front and his head raised up in to sniff the air, there was just an odd... peaceful setting here now...

Safear had a bad habit of

Safear had a bad habit of talking to herself, one that most likely developed when she first came to the forest. There for she did not hear the brief scrape of scales agenst rock that signaled a visitor.

"she is so young so fragile, and I must take care of her."

She haddnt the foggiest idea of how to be a parent. Never before had she been placed with such a responsebility and frankly it scared her. A breeze blew through the ruins, it teased at her feathers before dissapearing. thats when she smelled them, someone was here too. Shuffleing quietly to the edge she peered curiously over it looking for the source of the scent.

He hadn't expected the wind

He hadn't expected the wind to come... as he wasn't downwind when it came... the breeze blowing the flickering flames on his antlers as he saw her looking down towards him. A step back, moving to a side he kept his presence known but he was not one for words. A sigh escaped his mouth, he heard what she said... young, fragile... a fawn probably. And that tore at his mind some, recalling things that he should before he grunted, shook his head sharply, and severely several times before stopping "Stupid memories..." Iviran muttered out in that cold tone before moving off to a side and sitting himself down on the rocky edge.

It was a stag, a large one

It was a stag, a large one at that. He was scaled in the kirin pelt, not a popular choice among most deer but it made Safear smile. He had said something but the words were uttered softly and she was unable to make it out. Many deer came here to be alone, wether to grieve or think but it was a peaceful and quiet haven for the troubled.

Stuck on whether to approach or stay put she pondered for a moment before clawing her way down. If he wanted to be alone she would understand and leave, but maybe he would tolerate her presence. Cautiously she came up to him and dipped her head in a greeting.

"mind if i sit?" she asked gesturing to the rocky ground

Red, bleeding eyes casted

Red, bleeding eyes casted their gaze towards her when she approached. He'd tolerate her... she didn't seem like others he'd met in the past. Shifting he simply gave a nod of his head... making himself more comfortable, he was away from many of the graves... not wishing to tolerate the souls of the past. Maybe it was a fear of seeing something that he didn't want to see... or maybe it was just a fear in general. It was hard to tell. But Iviran remained silent now as he stared off straight to the front.

"You spoke of a fawn earlier..." The words came out, but his attention was still forward. His ears staying down slightly but not in any form of aggression.

Sitting, she looked to the sky and watched several brightly colored birds swoop through the low canopy. She did not look him directly in the face, to do so she felt would be a sign of disrespect.

her deep blue eyes clouded over at his question."yes, the fawn I speak of is my friends daughter. She......she has recently passed, and I am now gaurdian over the young one." Strangely it felt good to talk of it. Even if it was with a stranger.

"Hmph..." The reaction was

"Hmph..." The reaction was followed by a snort, ears letting a lowered stance fall upon them before he sighed deeply never once turning his gaze to face her "Rumors been spreading around these parts, in the graveyard... mentions of a stag that resembles me. A lot are spreading word that he's my son... I have no children. So it's not possible, and I've not seen this 'stag' anyway..."

kneeding the ground with her

kneeding the ground with her claws she sat a moment. "I have heard tell of these rumors myself, but I have yet to find the truth in the matter. I have seen no such stag. It is most likely forest gossip."

"children can be more trouble than their worth" she silently thought with a grimce.

His gaze fell shifting some

His gaze fell shifting some more as he snorted out glancing to a side as he rolled his eyes "Which is why most avoid me, I'm known as a 'fawn killer' for a reason... this 'son' the speak of would be one that I killed long ago... when he was just a fawn." His tone was flat, he showed no care with his words... oddly enough, he was good at hiding emotions.

"Nothing in life is planned,

"Nothing in life is planned, things happen that we regret or never intended and we must live with the conciqences be it rumor or reality." she stated the words simply without thinking.

"life it seems can be smothered out so eaisily. Bright burning candles they are, they can slowly melt away or be blown out quickly. Safear had no knowlage of his past but she wasnt one to pry, everyone had secrets.

"Usually when they go out I

"Usually when they go out I just come here to watch them relight..." Another snort, he did regret things... but they were in the past. The only major thing that was eating at his twisted mind was the fact that possibly his SON was back and in the living world... and he didn't wish to deal with this. No, he hated the fact that he'd be plagued by a fleeting memory, seeing Claudia was bad enough... seeing a child that is supposed to be dead would be too much.

"I do not seek out those of

"I do not seek out those of the departed or those who have returned, if it truely is your son then he should make himself known to you, obiously if he is a spirit then there must be worldly complications holding him back, if he really has returned, then i have no more advice to give."

Safear wasnt use to dealing with issues such as these and breifly she wondered what it would be like to have a family member that was suppost to be dead be seen again.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Iviran simply snorted out

Iviran simply snorted out and narrowed those red eyes casting her a long gaze for once during the conversation before his attention turned back towards where he was staring "A son that comes to the father that killed him will only seal his fate again... I trampled both him in his sister all those years ago and I feel no pity for them now. If the... Gods themselves wish to bring them back so be it... but I will show them no respect at all."

Even more cold it seemed, Iviran was a bitter old stag at times... it's why many avoided him. And many kept a wary distance. Save for those that he thought of as 'friends' despite them not truly being called a friend.

She felt his eyes upon her,

She felt his eyes upon her, but her gaze did not waver from the ground. Instead she ficked her tail to show she acnowlaged the look. Flattening her feathers in concentration she thought a moment.

"What puzzles me, is that if you killed them both why would only your son come back? If he returned, wouldnt his sibling accompany him?"

"I'll hazard the guess that

"I'll hazard the guess that the gods only wanted to bless one... and took the one that was less injured in their death... his sister was trampled harshly, I nearly took out her entire throat in the process so if she were to be brought back she would be a mute... unable to speak." A snort, he saw the tails movement before he shifted again and glanced to a side "Her grave is here... a lonely little plot in the back of the graveyard... he pays her visits from here I'm sure..."

Casting a glance to the back

Casting a glance to the back of the grave yard, she wondered where the fawns final resting place lay. Was she hasitly buried, in hopes of being forgotten? Or was her small plot carefully and lovingly discided and one of the ruins many crumbleing markers put over her head?

"I wonder what the gods plan to acheive by bringing him back."



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

One hoof hit the crumbling

One hoof hit the crumbling ground with a deep snort "They do it to torment me, they do it because eventually they will think that I will feel guilt for what I have done." A growl, he wasn't pleased but he was keeping that rather violent temper he sometimes had down... those red eyes casted their gaze back, Claudia had worked the graves... they were done with loving care, rather than rushed... of course, that was only Mikaila's grave, Maliran... didn't have one... "The gods probably find it funny, bringing the dead back to life in hopes of tormenting those from their pasts..."

"Did you come here to seek

"Did you come here to seek him out?" Safear felt his anger rising, but she remained icily calm. "I do not know what the gods intentions are, but i am most certain they plan on seeing them through. Bringing those who have been lost back again is no simple matter."

"If you do intend to seek him out I would take serious consideration as to what may happen if you find him.

"I came here to seek my own

"I came here to seek my own peace, and to find answers to these rumors. Which I have yet to find... if truth is out there then he will appear and that will be the end of it. A spirit is only a spirit, and the mind is easily crushed..." A snort, his ears laid back more as he slowly worked on standing up, stretching his legs as he went to walk some "Walking sounds good right about now though..."

Iviran simply nodded "If you desire, I won't stop you. Nor will I chase you off..." Another stretch, a quiet yawn and he walked along "What is it... that you find so interesting about me? Since you ask to follow... I figure I must have something of interest for you."

Trotting up she matched his pace and thought about his question.

"To be honest i really don't know. Sometimes certain deer rouse my curiosity.Breifly, she smiled. "You also dont see too many who prefer scale over fur. Pausing she snapped up a small bird that was too slow to avoid her jaws. Idily she watched as several small colorful feathers floated to the ground.

"I prefer armor to fur...

"I prefer armor to fur... despite it being scales... I still have my weaknesses..." His gaze turned towards the shoulder that had blood slowly flowing from it, despite the wound trying to heal it was a grim reminder of things "I think scales give a... more intimidating feel thus, my reasoning for them. And as such, I was born this way... as were my 'children' should they be wandering around."

"His grave is the pond... he died shortly after crawling into the water..." His tail flicked to a side with a snort "his mother never found the body and thus, he never got his own marker..."

A snort, a snarl... fangs, dagger like in appearance were slowly being bared as the stag casted a cold hearted gaze in her direction. Anyone, well most would have ran at it... but maybe she wouldn't "When one tramples a fawn to death, watching the blood pool up in the water around and seeing the poor thing laying lifeless in the water. One would ASSUME it was dead... no breathing, no motion... nothing..." With that... he turned, and started to move off.
