Chapter Six – Sad and Stricken

The next day the servants of the Bartleby estate awoke to a rather strange situation. Their Master no longer had the quiet, subdued air that he usually wore, but rather had quite the spring in his step. If that wasn’t strange enough, they also woke the sound of a hideous screaming coming from the nearby dog kennel. However, injuries at the kennel were quite common, due to the ferocity of the hounds that lived there, so they just took it in stride. They were also greeted to the new employee, the young man simply called ‘Jergens’. He was a somber fellow, walking through the halls with a vacant look in his eyes, as if he were in a stupefied trance.

As Bartleby dined on some pastries and tea for breakfast, one of his servants came into the room and whispered into his ear. “Master Bartleby, the missus is awake now. She wishes to see you.” Bartleby nodded and followed the man down the spacious halls, leading him to a grand doorway. The man knocked on the door promptly and called, “Lady Bartleby, the Master is here.”

The door opened a little and a young woman stood peeking through at them, a childish light in her eyes. She looked to be in her twenties, with long creamy brown hair. Her shining eyes widened in glee as she threw open the door and flung herself on Bartleby. “Big brother!” she cried, wrapping her arms around him and kissing his cheek. “Ah, hello Nip.” Bartleby returned her hug, petting her hair affectionately.

Nippers Bartleby was her full name, actually. She was the first born between the two and resented for the fact that she was female, and therefore unable to carry the family name. Bartleby was born soon after though and Nippers was just quietly swept under the rug, guilt prevented her from being completely wiped out, but shame kept her hidden. Unlike his parents, Bartleby loved his sister immensely. She was the only person that called him by his first name, not even his own parents did that.

“Do you know who the god is that carved the rock near which you're lying?" whispered Sinân to Chaman. And as he did not answer, she continued: “Tears are constantly flowing from his eyes, although he is always smiling. He is the Creator, the One-who-has-no-name.” Then the fawn asked the goddess: “Mother of Knowledge, what did He create?” And the Goddess, flying and twinkling around his nuzzle, answered: “Nothing less than the World and all the stars that surround it! All the gods are His children, and each being received life from Him. “And how did He create them?” Asked the fawn. “And why is He crying, though he seems so happy?” And Sinân ” I’ll tell you all, because His creation makes him sometimes laugh and sometimes cry, and it’s with his tears that He has kneaded the first creatures”. And Chaman, more and more astonished said: “And how did He do that?”
“In the Beginnings, said Sinân, there was no day, and the Creator was wandering in the darkness, alone and sad, until he shed two tears on the ground. And the tears became mud, and with this mud, He created two noble and powerful beings, two deer with huge antlers. Then He blew in their mouth, and gave them life. When He saw them running and jumping, he rejoiced and smiled for the first time.”
Then Shaman asked: "And what happened to the deer then? Because they had nothing to do in the great empty spaces of Beginnings ... "
"They fought. Replied Sinan. And their battle was so violent that they killed each other, flooding the soil with their blood and leaving their wonderful antlers planted in the earth. Then the Creator looked upon the corpses, and he repented of having created so beautiful creature to see them die in such a short time. This was the second time that He wept.”
“How unfortunate it is that the beginnings were marked by such a loss.” Saddened the fawn and he bowed his head, a light misting his eyes.

Ello, I haven't made a bio yet, but i will post one sooner or later.

Sorry for bad writing .

It's in Birch Forest, and you should be able to climb on it, if fact i hope people can at least make it on his back.There are an little bit more birds in the area than most.


The story behind this is, he was a deer sent given the gift of flight and size. He flu all the time, he loved to do so dearly.He would view the forest from above seeing all of its beauty, and fly with birds of all kinds.He would often tell the other deer of how the forest looked from above, and how far he could see past the forest.

Sadly he grew prideful,egotistical,and cruel.He began to think that he himself, were better than the twin gods.

Eventually it got to a point were he started to command the deer, and force them to do his bidding. He threaten them to pick them up fly to a great height, and drop them to fall to their death. In fact at time he would pick up young fawn drop them, then catch them, and drop them again to torcher them.

Eventually it became too much, and the deer begged to the twin gods to punish him.

So they did. In the birch forest the twin gods appear to the deer and spoke,

"We have given you the gift of flight, and the gift of size,but you have abused these powers, and because of that we must deliver punishment.You are now forbidden to fly, and forbidden to speak or go near a fellow deer.

Heya guys, before I left on my trip, I created a new baddie named Nekumbra. If anyone has any spare time, could you draw her for me? She's really simple...



She's a doe with spider legs coming out of her sides. That's all you really need to know. Also her eye color is pretty much black or a darkdarkdark brown. Anything is wonderful - sketches, colored artworks, drawings, I'm happy with anything.

I'm also still looking for artworks of my other two, Iugulare and Anirapio, but they're a little more tricky than Nekumbra.

Anyway, thanks again, and once again, sorry for being such an art whore. I love you guys

Nekumbra's received fanarts so far...

...To the Wedding of Seed and Nevilly.

Where? The Great Oak, moving to the Lake for the afterparty

When? 11:00 AM, American Central Time, on Tuesday, June 15th. Find out when that is where you are. This may be subject to change.

What? A wedding, and then a party that goes on until we all get sick of it!

Now, we still are missing a few things -- for example, someone to conduct the ceremony (I messaged Tera about getting Queze to do it, but my message may not have been recieved), and of course, loads and loads of guests ^^ Not to mention a nice invitation, but that'll wait.

RSVP!

I have never seen anything so beautiful in my life. The way you two move, it's...impossible. It's wonderful. I stood there, transfixed, and you danced.
It's as if you can read eachother's minds...
But thankyou. Thankyou very much indeed, darlings.
