------------------------------------------------------------------

Chenaniah awoke slowly.

Rain was falling heavily from the sky, and the large stag was soaked to the bone, laying in the muddied soil. It took a while for him to register where he was.

Chenan hadn’t been in the forest for a while. A long while. He had retreated deep into the land of dreams, attempting to regress back to his years as a happy, naïve fawn. It had been hard, for the dreams had all been fuzzy and chaotic. Months ago he had been given clear, realistic dreams. Dreams supposedly from the gods. He believed they had been leading up to a particular memory, but as of yet, the gods had not concluded his dream chronicle.

But he knew it would come. It would come.

As for now, the stag had to return to reality. He had to figure out the forest once again.

Chenaniah stood, wobbling, on his legs. He was soaked. He was miserable. It hadn’t poured this hard in a long time. Unfortunately, there wasn’t much shelter in the Birch Forest. There was the playground, but it was common ground for other deer. And Chenan just couldn’t deal with seeing deer today.



So what was there to do? The birds had all taken shelter in the trees, so there weren’t any to hop about by his hooves. They were up there, happily warbling the same old song. He glanced up, and was met by a raindrop in the eye. He jerked and squinted, then shook off all the water gathering in his fur.

Ugh. Nothing was worse than the smell of wet deer.

The Path is released tomarrow.

I don't have the money for it, though. :c Well, I do but I don't think my parents feel like buying anything online.

Anyway, YAYjhsdhasn<3

Tis' gonna' be awesome.

Grr.

Has anyone forwarded this problem to the creators?
We've all been very patient, and it's just kind of... annoying not to look up some deer you meet in the forest...
Maybe their working on it, that's ok! Take your time guys, I just wanna make sure you know.

Hehe when it first went I was like.
"Wow you guys, not only do you never sleep-- you never move either..."

As of March 14/15, I have been here for two years.

Two years.

I have seen the Forest change in those two years. New play areas, new life stage for deer, and new playing styles that have emerged.

I can't say that I have ever been in an online community for so long before. I believe that is a testament to how wonderful this game and community is.

Thank you, Michael, Auriea, and everyone else for a great two years. May there be many more to come!

Name: Nyadere (pronounced: nigh-adair)
color = #A4A948
Gender: Doe
Age: Young Doe
Born: March 2nd, 2009

Pictogram: A little lantern?



Nyadere is an orphaned fawn in the endless forest. She was born the smaller of a pair of twins, but thinking her to be stillborn Nya's mother took her sibling and left the tiny fawn to wake to a cold strange world all on her own. She is very shy and easily frightened and when left to herself often goes in search of something she cannot place.

Nya is easily intimidated by bigger deer and large gatherings and will not approach them unless she is with someone to protect her. She often hides behind trees or in tall grass and watches the other deer play. She often shies away when approached since she has been 'chased off' by a few of the more aggressive (or just in a bad mood) stags and teased by a few other fawns when she tried to make friends with them.

Nya will not usually approach groups of other deer and usually prefers to hide in the grass and just watch. She loves to play though and if coaxed may join in eventually.
