"It was foolish of me to think I was of any use. Fighting against darkness and infection is one thing, and yes, I know I am important for protecting the Forest from Iugulare. But when it comes to fighting with antlers...with being normal...who am I kidding? I'm pathetic.

I thought a close friend was in danger today when really he was just having fun with another deer. I tried so hard to stop them from what I thought was a fight to the death, and when nothing seemed to work, I ran away. I'm no hero, I have no strength. I'm nothing but a coward with big stupid antlers that are useless on my head. It would have been better if Michael had given these antlers to someone else.

My only other alternative is to seek help...to seek out someone who would be willing to teach me how to be strong and brave. Maybe then I wouldn't be so afraid when I see other deer fighting. Maybe then the does might actually find me to be attractive...sigh...

I miss my Mazey...the only doe that has ever really loved me. And yet...I never did have to fight for her love..."


Before Toukan and Ourania, Quad hits his antlers on a tree until they snap off, the heavy antlers hitting the ground with a thud. He feels his head being lighter, and turning, he speaks to them:

"I want to learn how to fight, and not run away. This which is left will be enough to work with (I hope). See...I didn't deserve those antlers, they're for strong deer, and I'm nothing of the sort. That's why I want them to regrow...I want to earn them back. I want to prove to this Forest that I'm not a coward"

He spreads the word, asking anyone who would be willing to teach him what they know of fighting.

Washed away by the blackness.

The light of the sun streamed though the branches of trees, creating little streaks of sunlight on the golden forest path. Aiatt trotted along, to go to the pond for a drink. He took a deep breath and realized something was not right.

There were no other deer. No silly fawns playing and chasing after butterflies. There was not the smell of any other creature, just the cold, eerie wind. It suddenly got cold, and with the breath of the cold wind Aiatt shivered, and his eyes stung while a chilly breeze blew.

It stopped, and the world seemed darker now. A storm is coming in, Aiatt thought to himself, and kept moving on. Although he did not trot with happiness, he now slowly sauntered, as the cold, silent winds blew.

The snap of a twig and the rustling of bushes broke the silence.

Who's there? Aiatt called, twitching his ears. There was no other sound, and no scent. Was it his imagination? Suddenly something black plopped right in front of the elephant deer, a black glob. It quickly slivered up is leg and covered his body. Aiatt struggled to shake it off but the black thing's grip was strong. The elephant buck was wrestling with a black thing.

His body was covered in the black goo, and the goo slowly crawled up his neck and on his ears. As the goo did this it's grip tightened, and now Aiatt couldn't even move his legs or neck. He screamed for help, but it was cut off as the black goo covered his mouth and head. The mask fell off, and Aiatt fell to the ground, unconscious.

The goo went into his body, turning everything black. It went for his brain, turning it black. It erased his memories and rearranged his thought and behavior...

The goo then left, leaving the elephant deer's body. His fur was pure black and so were his antlers.

Then a king appeared out of the bushes, seeing the goo had done it's job.

Letting a soft sigh pass her lips, she stooped down to pass beneath low branch. Her gentle breathing rose in little puffs, blending into the fog. The overgrown locks cascaded over her forehead, parting gently to let her see the path before her, as if that was even possible. Raising her gaze, she stopped. The path before her parted and both appeared to lead to nowhere.

Suddenly a shrill cry caught her attention. Whipping around, eyes wide, she tried ever so hard to see through the fog. It's getting stronger, she thought grimly as she turned her gaze back to the fork in the road. Two paths, two fates, one decision to make. Deciding to glance back one more time, she cautiously eyed her surroundings. There was a soft pounding that made her tense.

There was no time left. She scrambled, digging into the dirt as she bolted down the path. She could feel it nipping at her heels, egging her on. It could run faster, it was purposely staying just shy of her. She could see something up ahead, a light perhaps. And just as suddenly, it was there before her.

A dead end.

Hello! I'm ming. I've only just started playing this game and also just found this community board. it seems like there are so many amazing artists and writers! I love this game; the concepts are so cute and magical!

I drew my fawn, but i don't know if it's very good:

The human-like face idea is very unique. I hope to make many friends here! ^^

_{Human warning...?}

Hi, not sure if this is the right place to post this. It's been over 30 days and I'm still a fawn.

Hello everyone. I'm attempting to make my lil fawn a bio, but I'm not all that familiar with CSS and such. Do you guys have any websites that you would recommend for references in CSS? I tried googling it but I couldn't find anything that was really helpful...
