A modest collection of images from the festival. But I had a great time, thanks to some very friendly deer! Not pictured is Valorstep, who I was very happy to see again, and the final dance (or the first dance of 2010, depending on how you look at it) at the Playground.

She was shivering as she walked, through the deep snow and harsh wind. Her mask slipped away, the blue ribbon untying, and she could not even try to go back and seize it. Hazel eyes strained to see past the white, hurling snowflakes, and failed. A frightened cry escaped the doe.
"Where is he?"
She continued to walk, force herself through the freezing powdery snow, tears running down her face. "Jared!" She called, crying and begging him to come to her. "Jared! Where are you?"
Taliene collapsed in the Oak, welcoming its warmth and security. The humming of the old tree intensified, lulling the shivering doe into a peaceful sleep...

I was left alone

Abandoned or so they say

Living life as I thought I should

I never killed

I never scared any one

I was good

And yet they left

No one will approach me

Instead they flee before me in disgust

I didnt ask for this

Have the gods ignored my crys?

Or am I just cursed to live this way?

Either way I did nothing wrong.

Is there a way to log out of the game without loosing your set?

Because when I logo Ayal out he looses his set and i have to copy my backed up spell data back in.

Valdryion lost his set D: I was able to get the candle antlers back due to the abio last night, but he's ratherp plain now D: don't know when he'll be on next as my computer is deciding to not like it when I run the game.

I was never a deer of the forest.
I suppose in some alternate reality I too might have survived the night to be with the others.
Join them in frolicking, exploring, yelling and playing in the mysterious land that I could only see through their eyes.

i just want to wish everyone a happy new year! and happy new decade! may this next decade of our new millennium be much better than the last!

What an odd day it was.

When I began to stirr from an afternoon map, I awoke to see something very odd. Is this what they call snow? It was so white and clean and odd. Very different. As I stood up, I felt a cold shiver as I saw it had piled up on me. ....Odd. It must have been falling from the sky earlier.

Casually going out into the forest, I headed towards the pond for a quick splash, only to be disturbed again. Such odd sound...I lurked through the trees and grass for a few minutes before locating it. The Gods. They were making such beautiful noise! Oh I danced around the twins for a long time, and was very happy to be accompanied by a new friend.


Haha, I had fun :3 I went in the forest as Sorrel first, and gave her antlers with candles xD Then I had to leave, and when I came back a few hours later with Totlecatl, the candles and snow were gone, but there were big plants and mushrooms, and the twin god statue was playing odd music.

I remember before I left there was fog! And wolf howls. Odd~

The Amazon

The fawn is a whirlwind of color, vigor, and verve:
She is spring, vast painted meadows and boundless joy;
She is summer, fervent golden flames and fiery warmth;
She is the heat of morning, the touch of day's first light,
And the onset of nightfall, rich with its starlight glow.

Come to relish the reach of nature's sweet, lively blessings,
The fawn roams a wood long since graced with beauty.

The turmoil of winter has perished beneath her gaze;
The losses of autumn have gone without a trace.
The somber wind's melody has ceased to play;
In the Amazon's eyes, darkness has no place.

[Seeing as it's New Year's day and all, I'll warn you that this is somewhat depressing! Sorry. >.<]

The Fawn

Weakness, of body and of mind. I am falling to it. I have sold my soul to the traitor, with less remorse than I should have. Darkweaver? You'll never know. You'll never know that I've let myself trust him, let myself grow closer to his mate...Even knowing what he's done to you, all the horrible things.

And you, Darkweaver, were my first friend.

If he knows a way out of here...then so be it. I want out; I'll do anything to escape this endless prison, to get back to mommy and daddy.

They must...miss me...
Unless they've forgotten.

My peacock friend, Ducky? Where are you now? Are you still so frightened? Have I betrayed you, leaving you behind like this?

My kindred soul, Anko. Where are you? Do you lurk within the shadows still? Do you still look for me, wait for me? Or have you forgotten?

Ah, Leonard, Listless...Leonard. I remember that I confided my soul in you. You and I are kindred souls as well, in mind and in body. Have you fallen to your brother's control, Leonard, and forgotten me? Have you forgotten what I told you?

Have you forgotten that I am dying?

Worse, this illness gets. Worse. I am losing ground. I have my good days, but...not lately. I cannot move much anymore. Not without fits of coughing, dry and prolonged, so long that I think they might never end, fits that bring about rolling headaches...

My body, too, is weak. I fear it cannot hold me anymore. I don't know. It's such a frail balance, a scale weighted against me. Cold winds come to steal my breath even farther away.

I am losing the fight.
I must get out of here, must escape the pull of the Twins.
If I don't...
If I don't...
I don't know what will happen.

[Again, it's early in the morning, so I have no idea how this sounds. >.< ]
