It is dark early this time of year.

Raindrops fall off the eaves and hit the pavement, a million tiny mouse-traps in the dark. The wind wails like a small child as it blows through the trees. The child calls out for her mother, who seems to answer, before you realize that it is the roar of a train's whistle bringing death to any in its path. Your heart stutters with the cold as the rain pelts your coat with wet, icy bullets from the dark, bleeding clouds. Thy hang like a low and dusty ceiling, a basement to a bright world covered in stars, little holes in the fabric of the night sky. The bottoms of your bare feet freeze, as if the concrete were the frozen gray snow that collects in the crooks of curbs in the middle of winter. You slap them hard as you walk, trying to bring the heat of your blood back in, but the cold only creeps up your legs as if you were wading slowly in to an arctic ocean. The wind caresses your face gently, reminding you with its little beads of water why you came out dressed in everything except your shoes.

If you cried, your tears would offend the rain. You hold them in until it becomes too dark for the water drops to see them rush down your face in a flood that would make Niagra jealous. The tears hold no emotion, but dive headlong from your eyes in a constant stream of kamikaze fighters that head for the ground, bouncing off of your cheeks to mingle at your chin, leaping to join the cloud-blood-rain.

The heat assails you as you let the shower clean the dirt and grime from the pale and cold skin. The soap and lather, heat revives you.

You're ready to go back out again, and find yourself snuggled up in a strange room but with someone who is in no way a stranger.

[=timesnewroman][=10][center]You mustn't fall asleep just yet, darling, it is not quite your time...

A blurry horizon of deepest violet. The sea of gold washes from side to side, gently lulling the trees into a hypnotic trance, enticing the vivid feathered bullets that shoot slowly here and there, stabbing the dirt. Look upwards, to where the sky should be, and see only an empty void...deepest violet. Cast a stoned eye to the future instead and look upon pristine diamond that glistens in the unexplained moonbeams.

Thou shalt hold no other Gods before us.

Hot breath smelling of sweet oblivion. Rusting corpses and hungered ghosts swimming in the meltdown of a softening brain. Inhale, seek solace, and find only choking exile from oxygen. An arch nemesis clutches at an exposed throat and threatens quietly to cease life altogether. Beg emptily for release and salvation. Recieve none and, in suffocating frustration, flail clawed hooves at a faceless smile.

No, no...this won't do. Don't you know who I am?

Impossible to tell until told first, without the stretching bones that hide so many strange faces. Such beauty concealed behind curious monstrosity, a poignant lesson to be learned. Blackened eyes from a nameless race of titans, the old ones that came before...but how to remember such things, being so young? Able to breathe again, sucking disappointing life back into the chamber.

Thou shalt not...thou shalt...thou shalt not...thou shalt not, shalt not, not...

Snapping smile and hateful lap of tongue against high and mighty cheek. Distinctive taste of blood and sin. Curling white smoke from the same diamond figures, wrapping around the faceless beauty that surrounds nothing.

Natali jumped around happily with a few fawns near the Pond.She giggled when a leaf landed on her nose and she blew it away gently.Then a familiar scent caught her nose.Confused and horrorified she slowly turned around.What awaited her left her dizzy and confused.She could not believe this was happening...no.NO!"What are YOU doing here,father?"Her glare sure to make even the most toughest stag uneasy.

Big Dodt doe ! And beautiful !!#

First you play as a fawn for one month but then right after your full grown? No animal ever just turns full grown after being a fawn? I was wondering if there could be teen deer with antlers growing on there hed when the first start a teen deer after being a fawn they could have buds each day the antlers could grow an inch bigger until they are full grown! What do you think?

Name: Wunjo (it is a rune, that means Joy)

Description: He likes to walk around the Oak and pray to the Twin Gods, he is a deep mystical deer, always feeling a conection with the old gods. He is very respectful to the older deers, sometimes even following them. He is a very curious beeing.


Setting:

I have always seen an emotional link to this game, i practice myself the Asatru Faith.

I imagine, in a little personal RP, that the forrest is maybe in a Scandinavian or slawic country, in a old forest where the old pagan germanic faith preserves, The deers are the magical spirits of the woods, the protectors of the woods, and hide when humans walk on their forest. We can also see, that there was long time ago human activity in the forest, for example, the bridge and the church, but for unknow reasons the twin gods have preserved over the forest

Hope you like my little personal TEF setting

Sorry my english
