....Hello?


  • Updates...

    October 24, 2013.


    Awoke near the Birches. Finding that approaching them brings forth mixed feelings; a strange reluctance at times, and mere indifference at others. Oh well. If she was going to say, she`d have to walk through them sooner or later.

    Walked around, trying to look for a few new faces. Eventually found Lionel sitting a poppy patch with another deer. It took a few moments to realize who she was staring at. Akhenation.

    Completely dumbfounded. Basically stood there for a few minutes, trying to figure out what to do. Almost oblivious to Lionel hopping around her. Pretty sure this was all a dream and she was slowly going insane. Again. A notion that both frightened and infuriated her.

    Proceeded to butt into him with her antlers, trying to see if he was in fact real and would react to her-which he promptly did. Had a stand-off with; learned that he was apparently unaware of his death. Astounded by this; shoved Lionel behind her and forbade him from getting any closer until she could figure out what the hell was going on.

    After a few more flustered and tense exchanges, pieced together the notion that Akhenation had basically risen from the dead. Shocked-not really because he had come back to life, as was a typical phenomenon in a realm such as this-more so because she had had no idea until...well, now, really. The conversation got particularly tense, especially when the topic of her leaving the forest was brought up. Eventually had a "screw it" moment and decided she that was in fact not insane. Welcome back Akhen let`s forget this ever happened ok

    Tried to push away her shock and followed Akhen and Lionel to the Birches. Played with the latter for some time, until he was apparently spooked by a passerby`s actions. Sat down by him with Akhenation until he calmed down. Trying to piece together the little stag`s odd behavior, but figures he might just....be like that. (There is no eloquence today sobs)

Known
Aria Myst: Sister. Once the central point of Oria`s life. Born alongside side her on a rainy day, and accidently became separated from her. Vowed to find her and had become attached to her ever since. Often blamed herself for the doe`s frail condition, and was deeply disturbed by the multitude of misfortunes that seemed to befall her. Felt as if she was never around enough for her. Most of the gray doe`s decisions have centered around her younger sister, and she ultimately played a part in her decision to leave the forest. Now that she has returned, Oria is unsure of whether or not to approach her again. Deeply wants to see and reaffirm the bond they once shared, but fears that she herself is not stable enough to do so.

Irie: Aria`s first daughter, and thereby her niece. Hasn`t seen much of since she was born. Found her energy quite amusing. Vowed to protect her and her brother from the terrible events that had brought them into existence. The doe ultimately drifted farther and father away from her mother, all but disappearing. Lamented this deeply, blaming herself yet again. A contributing reason to her decision to leave the forest.

Autheiu: Aria`s first son, and thereby her nephew. Extremely fond of the fuzzy buck, and thought of him as quite adorable. Vowed to protect him and him sister from the events that had brought them into existence. Unsure if she succeeded. Wonders if he`s still around.

Akhenation: Brother in law. It took a long time for Oria to truly get to know the owl-deer. Though frequently at odds with regard to the way they viewed things, warmed up to. Crestfallen by his apparent death; come at a time when she was already beginning to grow unstable. Has returned to the forest. Still shocked by his notion, yet extremely happy to see him return.

Phaios:Adopted mother, deceased. The search for her sister brought her to Phaios as well. Discovered that Phaios had taken the frail Aria under her wing. Though it took a while for her to get familiar with the brown doe, she soon came to appreciate her calm and unwavering persona. Often sought her out for advice, venting her frustrations over Aria`s various plights. Utterly crushed by her death, and has a feeling that she never really got to know the doe she called her mother. Has a feeling that she was more wiser than everyone else, and wishes to learn more about someday.

Kasar, Kyra, and Gia:Nephew, and nieces. The birth of Aria and Akhenation`s fawns was something she viewed as a new start. Vowed above all else to protect these fawns. Feels as if she failed, especially when their sister died. Secretly hopes to see them around; wonders if they`ll remember her. Wants to get to know them better, and perhaps make it up to them.

Paola:Niece, deceased. The daughter of Aria and Akhenation, different in the essence that she did not live very long. Was concerned about the fawn`s frailness from the start; she was too much like her mother. Determined to believe that she would be alright, although she did die eventually. Heartbroken by this, but hopes that she is, perhaps, more well-off now than she was in life.

Zash: A close friend of hers. Remembers first meeting him when he helped fight off an enraged Bear. Grateful for his help, and got to know better. Soon came to realize that they weren`t so different, after all. Saw a lot of herself in him. Her decision to leave the forest was heavily influenced by him-crushed at the thought of leaving her good friend, but decided to anyway. Hopes to see again more, now that she has returned.

Bear: This large, but gentle stag used to be Aria`s friend, and was once in love with her. Was troubled to think of his reaction to Aria not feeling the same way. Her fears were later proved true when an angry Bear found her, her sister, and Zash in the Forest. Oria would have fought him if Zash hadn`t. Although she was at first hostile toward him, she soon found out that he took his life soon after the fight. Feels bad for him, and asked for forgiveness. Discovered that he had resurrected, only to soon grow old. Has forgiven him for past events. Considers a good friend. Saddened by his death.

Lionel: Acquaintance. Met the little stag recently, and finds him to be great company. Has a difficult time figuring him out, but has a soft spot for regardless.

Thais: Acquaintance. Curious of.

Seen; Delmar



Unsure/Detested
Altair:Father of Irie and Autheiu. Forced Aria into having his fawns. Outraged when she first heard, though she does not hold anything against the fawns themselves. Would never forgive. Deceased.

Fusion:: Attacked her sister and her fawns. Will likely never forgive.

YAY ♥ __ Grass

YAY ♥

__

Grass crunched under Oria`s feet, their fragile blades snapping and flattening. The blue sky, far above the highest reaching tree in this forest, made the gray doe smile in contentment. Her sister and her fawns were doing well. Akhen didn`t seem to be making things hard on himself. Things seemed quite good.

However, the doe just couldn`t shake the feeling that something was missing. She supposed that she was right... Her family was doing well, but still. She wondered where the others were. The deer she`d seen at the birth, the deer she`d met before. What were they doing? Were they even still here

The doe sighed softly, walking into a small clearing just outside of the Blue Bowl. Yes, what a nice day it was...

Zash rested near the pond,

Zash rested near the pond, taking a moment to debate just how safe it was to approach...well...anyone. Akhen was probably going to kill him, and he hadn't found Yara yet. Not to mention the sisters...he was somewhat daunted by everything he had to correct. Yet, he knew he was going to try...he promised Vesas he would, and he somewhat wanted to try now. He didn't go through Hell and back just to not try.

His fur was still scruffy, he didn't shed too much of his winter fur away, but his spots were coming back. A scar was barely visible under the fluff on his chest. The male sighed and rested his chin on the ground, watching the koi swim about on the pond.

Oria paused, looking off into

Oria paused, looking off into the distance. Thank the Gods that her sister`s home had been far enough away so that it hadn`t been affected by the fight.

The fight... the wounds, though fading, were still fresh enough for Oria to remember that terrible day. She shuddered at the memory of the monsters, swift and deadly, that had attacked her friends. Liftiing up her hind leg, she could still see the faint mark of a gash that had been inflicted upon her by one of them. The faint mark was still enough to make her wince.

She couldn`t stay here, not right now. Perhaps a walk would do her some good. The doe weaved through the undergrowth toward the pond, careful not to brush against too many branches in order to prevent reopening her wounds.

The gray doe paused by the pond, taking in the pretty sight. Not so long ago, it had been shrouded in fog. Now it was so... peaceful. You couldn`t tell that not long ago, the entire forest had been in danger.

Perhaps the Forest isn`t as safe as we think it is?

Well, it was definitely safer than some places. The doe`s blue eyes shone with the memory of her short trip to the human world. She wouldn`t go back there again... unless-

A sudden scent caught her attention at that moment. She gasped shortly, a sharp intake of air forcing its way into her lungs. It was a scent she hadn`t scented in a while, but she remembered it all the same. It was take her ten lifetimes to ever forget.

"Z-Zash...."

Zash... He was thrown out of

Zash... He was thrown out of his thoughts by the voice, the male pulling himself to his hooves and whirling around on the spot to see Oria a distance away. He started to smile, only to realize she had been hurt. But, by what? Who would have injured her? His ears flattened for a moment, but he forced a smile on his face.
The gray male limped a few feet toward her, "Oria!"

An entire cascade of feelings

An entire cascade of feelings welled up in Oria as she spotted Zash. Part of her was relieved beyond imagination that he`d returned, and another part wanted to berate him for missing so much. Where had he been? Did he know what he`d missed? Her attempts to greet him ended him being a mix all three.

The gray doe trotted quickly toward the stag, trying to hold back the surprise that had consumed. "Oh my Gods, Zash, where have you been? Where did you go? Why did you just disappear like that? Do you know what you missed- you missed so much! There was a massive fight, Zash, there were so many deer, and these monsters.. and Aria, she gave birth..." The doe kept on rambling until she could no longer. Finally, she took a breath, mouth half open in a mix of shock, anger, and relief.

The male kept calm through

The male kept calm through pretty much everything she said, though the news of monsters was something he hadn't expected. Monsters? God. He had missed out on a lot then. "Yes, I met them already. Those two are going to have their hooves full when they're strong enough to run around." he chuckled at the thought, but continued, "Now what about these monsters?" He ignored any question of where he had been. He'd rather not talk about that.

The doe narrowed her eyes

The doe narrowed her eyes slightly. Anyone could see that Zash was trying to avoid the subject of where he`d been. She would get it out of him- but the news she had to tell him was far too important to leave in the dust. "Well, I`m not exactly sure how to describe it- it was a normal day, a few days after Aria had her fawns. I went for a walk to get some fresh air, and there were just... all these deer by a hill near the Ruins. And then..." The doe stopped, as the memory of the demons threatened to overwhelm her.

Without much thought, the doe pressed her head against Zash`s shoulder in what probably was meant to be an awkward deer hug. In the next moment, she lifted her head back up, anger flashing in her eyes. "Where were you, Zash? Where?"

She can kick him around if she wants to. He sort of deserves it.


He was sort of glad he hadn't been there for the monsters. He'd probably go in with the intention to help and wind up dead. Plenty of good men died that way. His ears drooped at her hug, trying to awkwardly hug her back, but was startled out of it by her next words. He winced and backed up a bit, staring at the ground to avoid her anger. "I...I went home. To my old home."

Oria`s ears flattened in a mixture of sadness and anger as Zash backed up. Part of her was upset she`d hurt his feelings, but a cold part of her felt he needed it.

"Home? What home? Zash, this is your home... isn`t it?" The gray doe gulped as her mind was purged with fear.

She knew that many deer had pasts from outside the forest- her own sister had a different life before being reborn here. Was she the only the one who didn`t have a significant past life?

But that didn`t matter now. What mattered was the fear that was growing in her. The fear that...

"Zash... I know I can`t stop if you do. And I won`t, but... I need to know, are you going... back to that home?"

"No," he muttered, glowering

"No," he muttered, glowering at the ground, "the Forest...it's my home now." he paused, taking a breath to add, "the only time I go back is if I need to get something I forgot. But I'll come back. I'll always come back." He glanced up at her but looked away, unable to handle the guilt that came from the look on her face. How could he have been so selfish?

Oria`s ears flattened in a mixture of annoyance and sadness as she watched Zash`s reaction. She nodded slowly. Things he`d forgotten? What things? Though she itched to know, Oria held her tongue on that subject.

"Listen, Zash. I didn`t mean to yell like that- well, actually, I suppose I did. I was just really worried about you. I mean, I think I knew you`d be okay, maybe, but... I wish you would have told me you had needed to go."

Actually, that probably wouldn`t have been a good idea. She likely would have begged to come with him. Would she have? Aria was still pregnant when Zash left. If given the choice, would she have chosen to go with Zash, or stay and protect her sister? The very thought set her uneasy.

Oria narrowed her eyes.

"Tell me the truth, Zash. You said you had to get some.... things you forgot. Didn`t you know how long that would take?"

She was being unfair. Maybe Zash didn`t know how long his trip would take. Maybe he ran into something and had to fight it off. It`s not like she had been on the journey. How would she know?

Still, a part of her ached to have had gone with him. Would she have, if given the choice?

"Yes, because you obviously didn`t know Aria was going to have children. She was pregnant when you left! I thought you cared for her- you loved her once, didn`t you?! Nevermind the fact that she`s never going to be yours now- but still.

"Did you really have to leave? Was it really necessary?! Why did you have to go? Why didn`t you tell me- I could have come with you! Why did you leave us behind, Zash? Why did you leave me behind? I know I`m not as important to you as Aria was, but honestly! If not for me, do at least for Aria and Akhenation. Do it for the ones who care about you!"


How unfair could the doe get? She didn`t know. She felt as if she was scarcely controlling the words that came out of her mouth.

Not all emotions could be controlled. A tumbling tide of emotions- worry, fear, anger, caring- they had all combined to make a super cluster of... this.

What had she just said?

It was too late now.

She was a blatant fool.

It's all good. My muse has

It's all good. My muse has been selective and low as of late.


Zash took in every word she said, his head and ears held low. His eye focused on the grass in front of him while Oria's rant rolled through him in waves. He deserved her anger. He deserved a lot of anger that he barely got. Aria had just cried and Akhen was furious but didn't let him have it like Zash thought he would. Oria was angrier and she didn't even know what had almost happened, just that she hadn't gone with him.
He grimaced when she mentioned him not caring about her as much as Aria. It was true that he knew Aria longer. He still cared about her, but not as much as he had. He felt ice lance through his heart. He had put Oria on the wayside. He didn't know how much he meant to her. Just as he didn't know how much Vesas or Yara cared for him.

He stayed quiet for several minutes after she spoke, mostly for the sake of wrapping his mind around everything she said. His emotions were muddled, which didn't help anything. He didn't know what to feel. She said she cared for him-whether that was as a friend or something more he had yet to understand.
"I..." his voice wavered and died. For once he had no witty comeback. He couldn't correct what she said, since most of it was the truth to some extent. He barely had a way to explain everything he wanted to explain. He took a few breaths, concentrating on his ribs expanding and contracting with the air before starting to talk again. His voice was low, somewhat ashamed. "I know Aria was pregnant at the time Oria, but I also knew she had you, your mother and her various other friends to come to her aid. At the time I didn't think she needed me around. I didn't think you did either, to be honest. I was just hoping Akhen would have come back in time to be here for her," he sighed, realizing how much of a mess he had made in thinking that he wasn't as important to them as it turned out he was. He had been blind. Stupid, really. "At least I wasn't wrong in that," he added as an afterthought, before continuing to answer her questions, "I didn't bring you with me because I thought I knew what I was doing...not to mention I truly had no idea what would happen. You had no human past life that you can remember. I didn't know if you would turn into a human, or if you would just turn into a real deer...either way problems would arise from that. It would be a culture shock to you, or something completely weird to see a deer trailing after a human for them. Besides being horribly dangerous for you..." The whole time he spoke his eye had been fixed on the grass, his head still held low. Though now he brought his head up enough to gaze at her, "And you are important to me, Oria. All of you are important to me. I've just been a blind bastard and never really...realized it until recently," his head fell again with a slight shake, "I have no excuse for it other than just being stupid, Oria."

Oria simply blinked. "Zash.

Oria simply blinked.

"Zash. I`ve been to the human world before. I saw things there that made me never want to go back.

But I would have gone with you. Maybe. If Aria hadn`t needed me. Please... I don`t think I`ll ever understand why you left us, at least not without telling us. Alright, maybe I understand that last part, but Zash/. I was worried, so worried, I can`t...
The doe seemed to be at a loss for words. Her emotions had tumbled together until they seemed to congeal into a massive lump that lodged itself in her throat.

A surge of determination was the only thing that pushed that lump down, to some other place in the back of her throat. Ignoring that tightness that was threatening to choke her, the doe took a deep, shaky breath. "I-I-We all need you Zash. Everyone needs you. I need you. Please. Things are always spiraling out of control.... sometimes I wonder if it will ever get better. It seems to be okay now, but... there`s always something wrong!

First, we wake up in the rain with no parents in sight. Gone. Just gone. I searched as far as I could for them, tried to follow their scent, and what did I find. [i]Nothing.
I`ll never even know who my parents were!

Then I go back to try to find my little sister- the only other family I know- and she`s gone. I searched and searched for her too. I slept in ditches, I drank from pond water in place of milk. Then I finally found her, and she didn`t even know who I was! And she was frail, so frail... I think it`s my fault. I shouldn`t have left her, out in the rain like that.....[/i]


The doe wasn`t sure why she was telling this all to Zash. Time and time again, it seemed as if she`d had to writhe in her silent anguish. She just need someone to confess herself too. She needed a release.

Oria continued, her legs starting to shake. "Then she remembered me, and Phaios took me in... and it seemed that like everything was okay then. But then..... t-then..... Oria could not bear to mention the horrific events that had started this all.

"Everything was supposed to be fine after I found her! Everything was supposed to be alright! I`d finally found my sister, Phaios was a good mother.... Things should have been great.
Why wasn`t it? It was my fault, I just know it. Time and time again, I told myself I`d be there for her! But where was I when she needed me? Gone! Out somewhere, anywhere. I wasn`t there when my sister needed me.

And I don`t want to hear "Oh, these things just happen." It can`t be! All of this- sometimes I wonder if Twin Gods cursed us.

And you know what the worst part is? It doesn`t matter. None of what I`m saying even matters. Because it`s not going to change anything. Nothing that happened can be changed- at least not right now. And something else is going to happen. That thought keeps me up at night. I want it to end. I need it to end. I just... some day, one day...."
The doe could speak no longer. Her breath caught in her throat. Though she struggled not to break down into crazed sobs, her efforts proved futile, as the doe sank to the ground in a mixture of sorrow, embarrassment, and a dozen other feelings too powerful to name.

Why?! Why did this have to happen?!

Okay. So Akhen's gone; Ranore

Okay. So Akhen's gone; Ranore too. (along with minors that just sat around and sulked.) And Zash is taking it hard, but I think I can rewind and find that mindset he was in at the time of this RP.



"Oria..." Zash started, only to fall silent and watch her break down into tears for a moment, before limping over to settle himself down beside her, placing his neck across hers in a form of a hug. He didn't speak for a few moments after that though, just concentrating on hugging her, "You don't owe Aria anything. I know you think you do, that you have to play guardian and protect her. I thought that too for a while. But, honestly...she's got everything handled pretty well on her own. You're allowed your own life too, you know. Go find it. This forest isn't that grand, I know, but it's something. Plenty of deer had happy healthy lives here. Maybe they're just lucky. I wouldn't know..." he lapsed into silence, before adding, "Stop beating yourself up for something that has happened already. It's the past. It's not fair to yourself. You can't correct it, Oria. It's impossible. Just...there just has to be a moment were you take a breath and let it out," he knew he was the farthest one that should be saying it, but he didn't care, "Let it go. You're so hell-bent on being this guardian for your sister that you've let it just take control over you. I know the real you is hiding behind it somewhere-you should let her come out and see the world more."

Ah. I suppose I can say Oria

Ah. I suppose I can say Oria isn`t aware of Akhen`s demise yet. Gonna miss fluffy little Kyra, though.

The shaking that racked the doe`s body seemed to settle down after Zash had sat down beside her. For a few moments, Oria concentrated on nothing but the blades of grass poking up from the ground, morphed into a blur by her tears.

So much of what Zash said was true. She would object to some others point in a heartbeat. Mostly because they were also true, but they scared her.

What if she was nothing but shell outside of her will to protect her sister? What was her purpose, then? To wallow about in perennial worry and misery. To lash out, angry at invisible, non-existent demons that seemed to haunt every corner? To continuously destroy herself with guilt that hurt her inside far more than any physical could?

She would had argued, but she was far too weary. Instead, the doe took to resting her head on Zash`s shoulder, thinking about what he had said. The real you is hiding behind it somewhere.... But wasn`t this the real her? She wanted to believe that the real her was basically the same as the doe of now- minus the issues that seemed to crush her everyday.

"....I...I guess so, Zash. I just know other things are going to happen sometime. I hope that one day, they`ll be over.

I just want to be there to protect her... though I don`t know who would want to hurt her now. Bear has forgiven her, and he`s dead now, anyway..... and I suppose the same goes for Altair.

I want things to get better, and I`m going to try to. I want to live my own life. I do want to pick up the pieces. But I can`t do it without you, Zash. You`re one of the best friends I`ve got..."

I know. I loved the little

I know. I loved the little puffball too. And I decided Akhen will just be a spirit, he'll come by from time to time mostly to guide his son and daughter.


He was silent as he replayed what she had said. She couldn't do it without him. He knew a younger him would have been weary of that thought. But he knew he was there for them and them alone. Whoever 'they' ended up being changed as time went on; some left and some joined. He felt he was there to help them. He intended to. "Life is full of curveballs, Oria," he stated quietly, "It starts from the birth...and it may not end even after death. It's just how it works. Learning how to get around those curveballs is the challenge. And you don't have to face that challenge alone. I'll help you. We'll find out who you are. Don't worry."

Oria shrugged. Zash`s words had made her feel.... no, maybe not better, but... well, comforted. Alright. Perhaps a bit better.

For the first time in a while, the gray doe smiled weakly. "T-thank you, Zash. It`s been hard- so hard. I`m just frightened that something far, far worse than anything that`s happened so far is going to happen. Even if it isn`t like that, I just know that it will be bad. When do we start getting to the good things in life, I wonder?"

"Well...if you worry over

"Well...if you worry over what this bad thing is, where it will strike, you'll never get around to enjoying life. You'll be too worried to start enjoying it." he reasoned. It made sense...in some ways. "The good things...they happen every day, you know? I mean...they might be really small things, like pretty flowers, or cute animals running around, or just a nice morning or day, or evening even. They don't have to be big things, like spending time with family, loved ones...friends...that helps, it does, but if you keep waiting for those type of things, you might miss out on the smaller stuff..." he rambled, giving a sheepish smile, "If that makes sense at all..."




D: Motivation be cruel.
