Hello there.......

X . V . I . I . I


Updates:

Physical Health: |||||||||| (97%)
Mental Health: |||||||||| (18%)
Predatory Gauge: |||||||||| (mild to high)
Losing progress; falling feral again. Growing hungry, but still excited to see Vita again.

Current thoughts: "....mine..."
Recent Activity: Relaxed in solitude until Sianna came up; began speaking with her, was distracted from forgiving her by Vita's calls. Eventually went to Vita, which spurred Sianna into attacking the mini. Instinctively defended Vita, shielding her from the jealous phoenix-doe until she left. Snuggled Vita and cleaned out the bite from Sianna afterwards. Overjoyed to see her again; cuddled up to her and fell asleep.








Let me begin..

Height: Approx. 2 meters ( 6'7" ) at the shoulder ( 9' to top of head ).
Build:
- Surprisingly lightweight and lithe, long body and neck.
- Long, thin legs, and a sharp, slender muzzle.
- An unkempt mane and tail, resembling that of a horse.
- Antlerless, ungodly tooth structure (all thin, sharp canines.)
- Wingspan approx 11 meters ( 36 ft, 18 ft per wing ) from wingtip to wingtip.
- Extremely long, tapered flight feathers account for this massive span.

See [Apeldille's Chart] for size reference.

- My name is (XVIII) Eighteen.
- Way, the Betrayer calls me "The Dragon."
- Most simply call me a monster.
- I can not remember how I got here.
- I am a stag, though I have no antlers...
- I speak like this; #2B3856
- ( Voice: Lord Shen [Kung Fu Panda 2] )
- I can be identified by this [Pictogram] in the forest, as well as by sight.
- I wear the magpie pelt, key antlers, and skull mask.
- I do not know my age.
- You need not know more.

XVIII is extremely unsocialized and unfamiliar with how to interact with deer inforest. When his predatory drive is low, he tends to be more stable, and appear curious or confused by the behaviour of other deer towards him. He is unlikely to bow, not out of rudeness, but because he was never taught that this was the polite way to greet another. Deer are food to him. When his predatory drive is high, he may obsessively sniff and circle deer, and appear to act aggressively but this is simply out of hunger and instinct, not a personality trait.

You're pathetic, the lot of you. Face me one by one, instead of charging me like a flock of sheep, you disgusting wastes. You're afraid you can't hold your own against me, hm? I've called you weak Honeyfur, because you ARE weak, you can't drive me off without the help of your weakling friends. You're weak now, and you'll always be weak, that won't and will never change. Look at this.. you, with a dragon form, and you're STILL too scared to face me alone! HA!

Ozzie, the one with no experience at all hopes to hold his own against me.. you have no muscle, your antlers aren't hardened for battle, you're not conditioned to this and you will never have the mind of a fighter. Phobos, with power you lack the antlers to use that power properly. What are you going to do, smack me to death? That is.. if you could even reach my shoulder.. tiny little fool.

You're all children, useless, scared little children who hide behind each other to unfairly overpower a truly superior opponent. You think I'm daunted by you? Come at me, one at a time, and I'll gladly put you in your rightful places; six feet under, and nothing but bone.

---

.. You're truly disgusting. I'd tear your revolting fawns from your very womb, Honeyfur, out of pity that the rest of the world wouldn't have to suffer the idiocy their parents would surely pass onto them.

I started my hunt tonight, just like usual.. I'm famished. To start things off I.. came across a rabbit by the playground, mmh.. chased and played with it all the way to the pond before I decided to eat it. It was tasty, but a mere appetizer. Then.. then I smelled the same wonderful smell of that owl stag.. on a doe, a small doe, mmh.. she looked so good. I wanted a taste of her.. her blood, if it's anything as sweet as his, it must be incredible.

.. It would have been if not for that damn Guardian, Forsake. He ruined everything.. he kept me from my dinner, and brought two others to defend it. What's wrong with this picture? I am.. STARVING, and I.. no.. I can.. find something else. But I'm too hurt to right now. What am I to do..? I can't graze like them. That Honeyfur.. I hate her most of all. She'll pay for this, with her life.. or with the lives she has yet to bring into this world. Hmph..

Though.. something good did come out of this, I guess. Way.. this little mini whom I intended to make a meal out of earlier came to me afterwards at the pond. He helped clean my wounds, as Herla did, he tended to me, became curious.. why? Well.. he's mine now. I want him.. all to myself. This one is MINE, all mine, I have marked him as my own. Stay away from him, if any of you value your pathetic lives.

Healing Rate: (godly) +10% per day depending on current day's events. Additional bonuses may be awarded and noted in the physical health section above, such as healing by other deer, etc.

Method: Eighteen is an absolutely monstrous opponent. This beast attacks relentlessly, fueled by hunger and sheer hatred for the forest and its residents, dealing horrific amounts of damage very quickly. One on one, it is near impossible to take this beast down.

He will only fight if cornered, or overwhelmed by too many deer at once in a large group, which is the one and only way to deter him. He stands over nine feet tall at the top of the head, and displays a wingspan stretching thirty-six feet from wingtip to wingtip, accounted for by long, tapered flight feathers. While antlerless, he dons many thin, but sharp and powerful canines, lining the jaws of a skeletal face. This monster can sustain an extremely high amount of injuries, and isn't even mildly affected by pain from wounds during the rush of a fight.

His primary method of attack is to bite onto an opponent, clamp down, and rip and tear until they manage to pull away from him. His hooves and body are secondary; he may pound and slash at his enemies with them, or simply charge into them, sometimes blocking their vision with his wings and then attacking from behind the veil he has created.

His only true weak point is in dodging, when he becomes too wrapped up in offensive tactics to defend himself well. Contrary to popular belief, unless provoked he is non-aggressive around most deer, unless fixated on certain individuals (noted under relations) or his current prey target. He also heals ungodly fast, making him a difficult individual to get down, let alone keep down.

This beast is truly a thing of nightmares.










*Hunting Details*
-This is VERY important for any "prey" he interacts with in-forest-

*When XVIII hunts, he will usually target fawns or minis.
*When hunting, he will often stalk a deer for a short period of time beforehand, lurking nearby around the bases of trees or other objects, facing his target.
*He will try and get his target to run, so that he may chase them a short distance. This is never relentless, and he will not chase excessively. Chasing is part of the "game" to him.
*When "attacking" he may seem to be playing (prancing, sometime exhibiting playful emotes) with the victim, much as a cat plays with a mouse. Antlering+amazement represents a bite.
*When he is "done" or has "caught" his prey, he will sit down, to feed off whatever he's caught.

*No names will be mentioned, only descriptions. Your deer does NOT have to take ANY damage at all, this is simply part of his character and I do not expect deer to get hurt / killed by him unless as part of a plot or agreed to by both players. They will remain as anonymous deer; it's simply more fun to play him this way so feel free to run or play into his hunting habits if you wish.

If you would prefer he not "hunt" your deer, feel free to let me know and I'll keep him away from them.

And why do the epic posts have to happen while i'm gone?! lol
Oh and Honey-Dragon... epic-sauce ~

Nane couldn't breathe as Eighteen grabbed her and put his body all too close to hers. She closed her eyes as tears stung them. At that point, she gave up. Gave up her sane body and mind to the horror of this reality...

But then, the unexpected; a flash of blue and gold... Her Flammel.
No, she didn't want this... He would get killed. Fear struck her on an even deeper level, a level she didn't know existed. Her heart felt like it had stoped beating.
It happened in slow motion for her as her mate slashed and clawed at Eighteen in his owl form. Harsh panic took hold as Flammel dove out of the hollow, pursued by Eighteen.

She couldn't feel the three legs she was standing on, but she knew she was shaking. Nane couldn't even crumple to the floor now; she couldn't move.


To further her sheer panic, another dragon flew up to the hollow... She knew it, she just knew this one would eat her. Another attack came, her lungs retched for air, jerking her whole body; but, her mouth and nose refused to give the screaming lungs the oxygen they needed.

"Don't worry Nane, it's me, Honeyfur. I'm getting you out of here once and for all."

That voice, was it her? She had said she had once been a dragon but...
What kind of twisted dream was she in? A dream that tore apart her mind and emotions. She bacame un-thinking and un-feeling as the green dragon took hold of her and took her from the hollow. Nane wasn't sure whether she believed this was truly her sister or not.

Her last thought was a silent prayer for her mate's safety; before she blacked out from the lack of oxygen.

Btw, if any of you guys are wondering, Flammi's not hurt but he's weak from the chase, so he's stuck in his owl form for a little while, aka the crow ingame. It will only be for tonight likely, maybe a bit tomorrow, just until he has the chance to rest up. Then he'll have the strength to change back again. xD

LOL that was fun! I've been anxious to have her fight in her dragon form, surprisingly. She's been wanting revenge for a while now, so as soon as Nane left, she went in attack mode. She just couldn't resist antagonizing him by circling in the air though ^^"

Soona was trapped in an

Soona was trapped in an emotional whirlwind. He had noticed Honeyfur from afar, and his heart clenched in fear when Eighteen eyed her hungrily. He had prayed that Eighteen would keep his promise, that he would not go after her...and then, his worst fears were realized. The winged stag had charged the doe, and without thinking Soona had pursued. He tried his best to put himself between them, taking most of the blows from Eighteen's hooves and muzzle. He did not know why, but he had to protect her, all the while pleading for Eighteen to stop. Occasionally, Eighteen hesitated and just stared at Soona, and miraculously began to back off...but then Honeyfur would lunge and stir him into a frenzy once again.

Adrenaline coursed through Soona's body like a plague; he could not back down, not now. Reaching his last resort, Soona began to bellow and rear at Eighteen, which seemed to infuriate the other stag even more. But now, it didn't matter...he was in too deep. The blue stag bellowed as loud as he could, rearing to his full height but never making contact with Eighteen. He did not want to hurt him...he couldn't. After what seemed like an eternity, Eighteen began to back down. Soona slowly drove him back with his antlers lowered, giving warning bellows and keeping the infuriated creature a good distance from the green doe. "P-please...no m-more," he finally ground out, just as Eighteen turned tail and fled, enraged.

Shaking uncontrollably, Soona turned to face Honeyfur and weakly sniffed at her before limping to a nearby tree and collapsing. He struggled to catch his breath, and then began to hyperventilate as it all hit him at once. Eighteen was going to kill him...all because he broke his own promise. "N-no...!" Soona managed to cry out, his front limbs pawing fruitlessly at the soft earth. A sob wracked his chest, and he squeezed his eyes tightly shut. This couldn't be happening... It couldn't end this way... "Eighteen...!"

(Gah, sorry, no one needs to reply to this; I just felt like writing it out, hehe! Poor Soona... ;; )

Poor bugger ;____; but

Poor bugger ;____; but Eighteen never "eyed Honeyfur hungrily" so to speak.. he was only staring at her because she and Ozzie were flocking around him and Soona like vultures and that kind of behaviour was intimidating to him. AKA that whole thing started out of defensiveness and fury, because he felt so insulted by her. His outlook on it, essentially in layman's terms, was this:

"YOU came to me, I didn't do a thing to you. You tried to drive me out of an area where I was, for once, minding my own business. If you won't let me stay in peace, then I won't let you be either. I was ready to move right past you, keep on going, but no; clearly you WANT my attention, so if you want it, so be it."

He'll start trying to hunt Honey again out of rage, more than anything else for what happened last night. As far as Soona goes.. don't have him try to approach, he'll kill Soona on site. :|

Ahh, so this is who my Soot has been idly following around. That pictogram map is rather difficult to find someone on it, but it seems I have succeeded this time. Her pictogram should be aged tomorrow sometime, but I grew rather impatient and borrowed one from a friend.

He has such an interesting and lovely design, it's no wonder she pokes around him a little. If you don't mind, I would like to add him to her bio. n_n

Awesome. ------ Aha! This

Awesome.

Aha! This one had wings too! The goat-sized female approached cautiously but with unwavering curiousity. Was he a dragon too?

Well, 'too' might not be the appropriate word, considering she was hardly a dragon anymore and neither was he by the look of it. This forest had a way of warping one into the creatures it seemed to favour. It was ironic and humiliating to the dragon-doe, considering she'd usually eat deer and such creatures for breakfast. That made her somewhat grouchy.

In several strides she was a few meters away from the skulled stag, tucked behind a tree stump in a predatory crouch. She peeked out and examined him for a moment and was struck with a pang of jealousy over his large wings -- suitable for flight. Her wings had been reduced to a total six-foot span, which was not quite enough to get the small deer-dragon into the air.

"zzzZZYou with the wings! Hey!ZZzzz" She somewhat said. Her speech was limited to telepathy due to an injury in her childhood, and it was unpleasant to hear if she couldn't find a clear pathway into the target's mind. Loud radio static and whining would be heard in the background, as well as background voices of mixed genders sounding distorted as they echoed what her true main voice said.

Dwelling in the tall grass a

Dwelling in the tall grass a midst the birch, the predator lurked bitterly, glaring out towards the blue bowl where so much had transpired just the night before. He clamped his jaws shut, uttering a subtle snarl, hackles raising and fur bristling irritably. Eighteen was a loaded gun at this very second in time, with one finger on the trigger pressing halfway down. His wings stayed pressed in tightly to his back, feathers ruffling uncomfortably. He wanted nothing to do with the world that wanted nothing to do with him. Both ears pinned back sharply as the sound of approaching footsteps reached him. Yet, he remained still, completely disinterested. If it didn't smell like an enemy, or like food, then he didn't give a damn about it.

However, the telepathic static was something he couldn't ignore. The stag jolted to his feet and shook violently, wings fanning out and beating at the air eagerly, clipping a few trees as they attempted to stretch out in much too confined a space. With a annoyed huff, Eighteen shot an equally annoyed look over his shoulder at the source of that awful sound, vast eyes narrowing dangerously. Stepping lightly, he turned to face her, pinning his wings back into his sides once again.

"What? What do you want?" Eighteen snapped. A glimmer of hurt lingered behind all of the hate that had welled up in the beast's eyes. "If you're not here to be my main course, get out of my sights."

Yeah :'C HF couldn't help but want a taste of revenge, and when she spotted Eighteen being possessive over Soona, she felt that she had to do something.
Heh, she's...expecting him, so to speak, so if she sees him hunting her it won't be a surprise for her.
Oh yes, and when her antlers are bare, she's in her dragon form (just until Halloween). Just a heads up in case you haven't read her bio yet C:

I have, I know.~ though.. you said her dragon form's only about.. six feet? Take a look at the V tab here. I've decided that he would indeed take her on.. he's 6'7" at the shoulder alone, with a 36 foot wingspan. lD;
Honeyfur's picture

Around 6'2"-6'4" on her

Around 6'2"-6'4" on her hindlegs (still need to decide which one), and I still need to figure out her wingspan, but it's definately longer than her body C:

Nice! This should be very interesting |D

She stood her ground behind

She stood her ground behind the stump, watching the startled stag with intense fascination. Then she realized that he was getting defensive, and in her world that pretty much always leads to a face-off. Her mane bristled and she opened her wings, unimpressive in size but potentially startling in the rapid explosion of blue from the undersides of the tough membrane.

Then his wings went down, and she mimicked him. Her mane was still bristled, however.

"zZWhat makes you think I want something?Zz" She crackled. She hopped up to the top of the stump, so she was close to his height. "Main course, huh? Hahahaha, what are ya, a SoulSucker? A vampire? Sonnova bitch, it's Twilight all over again."

She was unresponsive to the pain that another, more sensitive creature may have picked up. Or perhaps she noticed it and was simply trying to find a place to poke a sharp stick. Regardless, it seemed that she was picking a fight.


//OOC - I don't suppose Eighteen will get the Twilight thing, haa. She's trying very hard to be annoying, and I don't mind if you let Eighteen beat her up a little. xD
Eighteeen's picture

Eighteen's jaws parted when

Eighteen's jaws parted when that flash of blue lit up in his vision, hissing shrilly at the much smaller being, all six pupils from both eyes fixating on her keenly. He spread his stance, sidestepping as he kept a sharp watch on her, an undeniable hunger lighting up all throughout his tense disposition.

His ears twitched and pinned back again as more static ran through his mind, his heart racing in his chest. That sound, that awful, awful sound..

"Twilight?" The beast muttered, looking exceptionally unamused.

"It's the middle of the day, unless you're as blind as you are mute, even a fool could smell the air and know what time it was. And no, none of the above, just a good old fashioned predator with a very empty stomach," he added in bitterly, stretching his neck out as he leaned in towards her, taking a few steps forward. Even hovering in the air above her, he drew her scent into his lungs anxiously, serpentine tongue darting out to clean away small hints of venom that festered around his primary canines. What a fine course she'd make.

( Lol XD Yeah that went right over his head, he's not familiar with these types of things let alone 'humor' heaven forbid. And it all depends. He's.. not as likely to be as aggressive around a smaller deer, especially a female. )

Anthrax stared intently with

Anthrax stared intently with her own crocodilian eyes, watching him as he seemed threatened. He probably wasn't, but she simply had been used to being the scariest thing around and therefore figured that the same rules applied here. It made her chuckle out loud, which sounded something like she was choking.

"zZHehe, guess you wouldn't know, would'ja. How tragicZz" she said, emphasizing tragic with a bow-like flourish.

At his threat, she chuckled and puffed her mane up over his nose, sending a small static shock out of the toothbrush-like hairs and hopefully into his ears or eyes, which would hopefully either provoke him or get him to back away. She was actually a bit nervous now...heaven forbid he get cocky and actually touch her or do it accidentally.

Her wings flared out again, but this time twisted backwards so that the black upper membrane was facing forward. She would pounce if he were to even lightly tap her.



(We'll see how long that lasts. XD She's very strongly haphephobioc, so she'll have a mental breakdown if she gets scuffed in the slightest. Accidental or not, lol.)

(Meep...sorry about the misunderstanding that my post may have caused, Han. I am aware that Eighteen was merely agitated and defensive, but that was not how Soona saw it. He firmly believed that Eighteen was trying to kill Honeyfur, and so he intervened like an idiot, lol! The post was told from his naive point of view. c: I'm bummed that Eighteen wants to kill him now (please don't, Eighteen, I quite like my gaydurrs! =P), but ah well; the 'betrayal' had to have happened sooner or later. At least he and Way can start a support group, haha! XD Also, good to know about the dragon form, Honeyfur! I will definitely remember now. Also, I will be replying to your post tonight; sorry I'm taking so long! *slapsself* >_O; )

Eighteen began to tremble

Eighteen began to tremble with frustration as she went on speaking, ears twitching more and more as the static rang through his mind. It was exceptionally annoying, but even the beast look startled when she.. 'laughed,' was is? What was there to be laughing about? He'd never uttered such a sound, not unless it was spitefully, or with ill intentions towards ill circumstances.

Any calmness in his disposition vanished as those electric jolts trailed up the side of his skull, thoroughly irritating around his ears and eye sockets alike; The beast huffed sharply, head jolting straight up before he dove in again at her impulsively, striking like a snake as parted jaws were aimed to clamp and tear at the dragon doe's throat. He'd continue to snap and lunge should she evade him, eyes wild with fury, wings pounding at the air around him as he went clean for her windpipe. Should he be successful, he would bite down on it and hold, gnashing at it with his countless rows of sharp canines until he was either deterred from his vice grip or chose to relent of his own accord.

Either way, when he did back off he licked at what blood he'd picked up on his own accord, letting out another serpent-like hiss in disgust as the taste lingered heavily in his mouth. This blood wasn't bittersweet like most; it was horribly bitter, and he backed up near clumsily if only for three or four steps, giving sudden shakes of his head as if trying to throw the sheer taste from him. With a low growl he remained unsuccessful, working swiftly to lick and clean it away, a repulsed tremor racing through him as he forced himself to swallow what little remained. Even to this disgusting blood, his stomach tightened hungrily, gratefully, quelling if only a hint of the fury in Eighteen's now wide eyes.

( He's crazy. Really. )

Anthrax grinned widely -- a

Anthrax grinned widely -- a creepy gesture indeed. She thought the trembling was out of fear. Well, little Napoleon-complex Anthrax got a wakeup call as she found herself being lunged at with those fangs, an action to which she snarled fiercely and hopped up, beating her wings at his face since they were no good for trying to fly away.

She thought she had gotten out of it unharmed until he managed to nick the side of her neck. Not entirely mute, she unleashed a horrible, feral scream of terror and pain as almost black blood trickled down her neck and over her shoulders. She twisted, as if to fly away, but ended up on the ground and flailing wildly to get to her feet. In her disoriented horror, she was simply rolling and appeared to be in the throes of death.

The dragon doe's eyes rolling wildly, she watched him as she finally got up to her feet and bobbed her head like an angered bull, shaking the black blood in droplets on the ground. With all the adrenaline now coursing through her veins, the venom probably wouldn't take effect for at least a few minutes. She charged at him, attempting to gore him on her sharp, S-shaped horns.

( Yes, and she's a masochist, apparently. What fun for character scarring! 8D /shot )

Still hissing and spitting

Still hissing and spitting out the 'poison' in his mouth, Eighteen whipped around in time to see the dragon doe thrashing about on the ground; he'd so barely touched her, surely she wasn't this badly injured. But that scream pierced the quiet lingering all throughout the birch territory, and the beast unleashed an infuriated screech right back at her, brandishing all of his ungodly sharp teeth in the process. Lowering his front half in a predatory stance, his back arched up unnaturally, eyes now widened to their full capabilities and entirely fixated on his new target. Tail flagged, it lashed behind him, wings spread as full as the small clearing would allow as his feathers ruffled dangerously. He shifted, sidestepping again, moving in this manner to ensure that he was always, always facing her.

Her charge was too easily avoidable to him, especially when he saw it coming straight at him from the moment it began.

Eighteen lunged clean out of the way, swerving around to face her in one fluid motion, kicking up a cloud of dust in the process. He assumed the same stance the entire time, now side-circling around her precariously, one leg crossing over the other as he moved in a consistent and lateral pattern. Truly, he wouldn't dare consume something with blood so foul, no matter how little he had tasted. Those white pupils all dilated wildly at once, training themselves on the dragon doe as he dove in again. With repetitive beats of his wings, his lithe body was lifted up off the ground, enough to build momentum as he drove his front hooves into the ground with a quick stomp; diving and lunging after her like a fox, as if trying to crush her or drive her off. Anything would be better than having this nuisance here, and he continued to yell and snarl at her in a feral panic as the pursuit continued.

Such a small target was an irritating thing to aim for.

( I apologize for assuming so things, I just figured she'd be quick enough to get out of the way for the most part. xD )

The last thing H ever

The last thing H ever expected to find in this part of the forest was another predator, and such a large one at that; there were too many deer living here and they all seemed so healthy, not to mention he hadn't picked up the scent of blood for miles. What a shame, especially considering he was craving something other than fish now that he's heard some of the rumors of certain beasties lurking beneath the water's surface.

For a while, the small predator watched this huge, winged beast from afar, marvelling at his size and the strength he was certain he possessed. It was incredible. How he longed to be such a powerful, fearsome hunter as that male. Yet, he could see how eyed the deer surrounding him, with such hunger, starvation even. Why wasn't he hunting them?

"You look.. hungry," H commented casually after dropping a decent sized bass at the feet of the giant stag before him. Something insisted on him approaching the beast and he wasn't crazy enough to do so without some kind of peace offering. He wasn't stupid like all the walking meals around them.

( The dynamics of that are very, very painful. -shot- )

Eighteen huddled close around the base of that tree, the one that was much too small for him, gazing hesitantly over at the does and smaller deer frolicking nearby. A midst them was dear Vitality, an ally whom he would not dare lay a scratch, and Ravus, the masculine looking doe that had her attention for the time being. His eyes sharpened hungrily. Surely there was more than enough meat on those bones to go around.. but should he go for such a target, he certainly wouldn't leaved unscathed, and without doubt he would get mauled in the process. No.. this wouldn't fly, not a bit.

With a stubborn huff the massive stag lay his head down, tucking his legs up beneath him and his wings in close to his sides. After a few long moments of rest, his eyes flew open again, fixing on the minuscule buck that was wandering closer. Hackles raising and fur bristly, he let out a low, rumbling growl in warning, eventually parting his jaws and letting out a shrill hiss as his head shot up. The beast's sides began to rise and fall dramatically with an increased breathing rate, feathers ruffling, threatening, silently warning this fool to back down.

He didn't want to be near anyone. Not right now.

However, slowly his jaws relaxed and came back together once H dropped the large fish in front of him. Instinctively, his eyes widened, all six pupils dilating with them as he leaned in to sniff at the bass. He rose to his feet, taking a step forward, touching the tip of his muzzle to it. Then, after growling sharply at H once again, he lashed out and snapped the fish up into his mouth, swallowing it in a single bite before licking his lips and backing away into his original spot. From there, he arched his back up, untrusting as he eyed this strange little deer.

There was little more than fleeting skepticism in those eyes.

She hissed in frustration

She hissed in frustration when she missed her charge and bucked at his chest as he sailed over her, but to no avail. The dragon doe was even angrier that he had drawn blood from her and she had hardly lain a claw on him. She hated being so small now. It made her powerless.

Anthrax skidded to a stop from her charge and stood there, long and tapering ears pinned back and listening for movement. She stood with her back to him, at least if he did somehow catch the quick reptilian doe off-guard he wouldn't hit any vital organs immediately. Her tail lashed behind her wildly, the tip shaking like the tail of a rattlesnake and creating a huge blur of turquoise from the mane on its end.

As he began to circle her, she could feel her withers trembling with the excitement of a fight that was now overriding the fear of physical contact, but the strong fear that every creature has -- the fear of dying. Perhaps not from the fight itself, but being maimed so horribly that everyday functions could not be performed to the point of causing death. She snorted angrily to clear her head and focused on the predator she was facing off with, not budging in the slightest.

A lunge. His hooves came down by her side and she danced aside with a lithe twisting of her torso, hopping and skipping around the stomping that could most certainly break bones and cut flesh. Then, hoping to catch him off-guard, she darted forward and tried to run under him to stab his stomach with her horns.

While being small was a bother for Eighteen trying to hit the dragon doe, it was even worse for Anthrax, who miscalculated her charge once again and was hit in the side with a hoof, which dropped her to the ground with the breath knocked out of her. She shrieked and wheezed, trying to curl away from his stomping hooves. The strange thing was, she was giggling ever-so-slightly....

( That's alright. The only benefit she's really got from being so small is awesome evasion, but she can't do a lot else. But she might do some psychological warfare if she's pummeled too much. XD )

(And frightening.

(And frightening. LOL)

Surely a small thing such as himself should have been too terrified to go near such a large creature, should have sensed danger around him telling H to stay clear if he valued his life. Maybe he did noticed it but chose to ignore it? That's highly possible, especially considering having such skewed views of the world around him.

The other deer surrounding the area annoyed H a bit; they were food, and that was all they were to him. Even if there was no way in hell he could ever take down anything larger than a fawn no matter how badly he wanted to, there was no denying how they made his mouth water. Oh, what he would do just to sink his teeth into one of those juicy, delicious looking legs. It was that growl from the largest stag that snapped him out of his fantasies, ears pinning back as those small wings of his folded up tighter against his back.

Out of what was surely respect, H took a step away as Eighteen came closer to investigate the fish, feeling the slightest of smiles tugging at his lips when the stag determined it was edible and did just that. A fish of that size might have been more than enough for the small buck, but someome the size of the larger cervine, that must have been no more than a little snack for him. Crazy.

"Why are you sitting over here all alone? Waiting to separate one from the group or something?" Large eyes ran over Eighteen as he worked his way up to his face, meeting his gaze in attempt to show that he meant no harm. He was much too small to try and harm the huge stag anyway, even if Eighteen was antlerless. Those sharp teeth spoke for themselves.

Ryff: ( LOL, don't worry, it

Ryff: ( LOL, don't worry, it should end here.. in theory. )

Eighteen continued to dive and lunge after the doe, eventually tipping his ears forward, huffing with enjoyment at the rush of his pursuit; it was a mannerism that faded briefly as he felt her horns just slightly graze the underside of his belly and open up shallow cuts where they landed. In spite of flinching a little, he seemed to tolerate it very well, even on such a sensitive area. No matter, going on more or less unphased, his motions became.. less violent somehow, even moreso as that quiet giggling caught his attention.

The violent dives faded into more of a prance-like or playful lunge, the heavy stomping of his hooves as they hit the ground softening to a gentle tap. The will to fight this one seemed to fade away, but while he stayed quite sharp, his defensive stance began to wane. He remained wary of her, but leaned in to sniff at her from time to time before quickly ducking away again. The pupils in his eyes dilated, almost consuming their darkness with pure white, suddenly intrigued by this deer. His wings lifted, feathers ruffling in more excitement than anything else, ears repeating their perking and pinning depending on his relative distance to her.

The beast looked more confused and curious now, for one reason or another.

Kirness: "I'm not hunting

Kirness: "I'm not hunting right now, no," Eighteen responded after a long pause, gaze scanning over the much smaller deer as well skeptically.

"What are you here for, what's it matter to you? Why do you even care? And above all.. what do you want, and when are you leaving?" the beast snapped, venting his frustrations on H openly. That look didn't fool him, and he narrowed his eyes, fur bristling up further with irritation. His equine-like tail lashed away behind him, clearly annoyed, ears pinning themselves back again. There was no doubt that he didn't trust this little buck.. not a bit.

Exhaling a frustrated huff, Eighteen shook with anxiety, still both fairly winded and high on the rush of adrenaline from the chase. The small taste of sustenance was enough to reignite his appetite, and he felt his stomach clench impatiently. That was the way it was been for days, and the stag huffed again, more heavily this time. His eyes sharpened as they landed on H again. He would do the trick.. he was big enough for a meal. Those same eyes began to glisten as the thoughts ran through his head, encouraging the thoughts with the desire and impulse to fulfill them. It would be worth it.. this one had come straight to him.

.. But there was so much fur..
