Thanks ~SnowRift

Just woke up, opened the forest and slept in there...I looked as soon as I heard the music...

The screen kept going WIGGLE WIGGLE WIGGLE right next to the Ruins, like the camera was tilt.

Then it spun around the point of origin in the Ruin...which at first had a pictoless glow, then had a picto in a glow...

So I woke up and went there and, of course, nothing there XD;

Ah well.

You're amazing and I love you! Ha, but seriously, thank you so much! I owe you 2xs now!

Sentari is once again a happy doe!



*Saves data properly this time!*

Screenshot heavy because I can.

If you see your deer in any of these shots, speak out!

I've experienced a lot in my first month playing TEF. With one week left until Vesper becomes a stag, I'd like to take a look back on my favorite forest moments.

My First Undead Sighting I'm not sure who this is, but I'll admit seeing that pelt for the first time was really exciting.


Encountering MORE Undead I wanted to run around with glee. And I did.
Edit: Deer in this pic: SarieBearie, Liëka


Being Introduced to the Crazy Antics of TEF I really didn't know what to think when I came upon those stags dancing in a tree.

Participating in Crazy Antics at TEF I wanted to dance in a group, too!

Mimicking Others

Learning to Water Walk/Sleep

I was trying to be godly... and i failed.
help me please!

Anzel ish in teh forest.

I saw Sleeper and...ERROR, with the most awesome picto ever. (looks like a rocking-out robot to me)

It is...

Life

Death

My soul, pulling at me. The gods are not willing this, something far greater than the gods is pulling me. I can smell something strange in the wind, I can feel something deep inside me becoming sad, becoming troubled, becoming scared. I fear that I am being pulled away from the forest, and I fear that it is forever...

So it is with a heavy heart I pass through the forest for what I feel is the last time. Slowly my steps carry me to the statue at the ruins, and I cannot help but stare longingly into its empty eyes. How my heart falls to my feet! Is it so? Do I feel this way because it is to be the last time I sit amongst the poppy flowers and ponder over the world beside you, my trusted friend?

For what seems an eternity I stare into those empty eyes, wondering how many countless deer have done the same as they gazed into my own. Had I become so heartless, so empty, that the forest no longer wished for me to be a part of it?

Unsure of what to make of my emotions I sat beside my lifelong friend to think. I fell into a deep slumber, my heart beating rapidly in my chest, even in sleep. Slowly I could see the forest in my visions, the heavy mists surrounding its borders idly sitting by. I came closer, and closer, and closer until I found myself surrounded in the mists. It was so thick, so heavy, and suddenly so dark.

I could see nothing, and my stomach churned in that strange fear again. I became frantic, my feet twisting beneath my body. I fell to the ground, struggling to rise up again, but it fell thicker upon my body. I couldn't breath, I couldn't strike out, nothing I did to will my body to move made it do so at my command.

This is dedicated to a deer, and a person, who I never got to meet. She was known as Run, beloved by everyone in the forest, a former mate to Sluggs...

Who was killed in a car crash, her sister said...

I hope not to disappoint a single soul who remembers Run, and I hope I do not tarnish her in any way...I tried my very, very best to write a poem of her that I felt she deserved.

And Ephra...would you allow me to add your beautiful picture of the memorial to this poem?

Here is the poem...I hope you find it fitting...

--- may you Run forever ---

[i]Running on forever in eternity
A kiss from the heavens
A raindrop from the cirrus
Whence the angels, blessèd, hover

And where she fell, the deer rose
To stare upon the rose that had bloomed
A doe, sweethearted, soon to become
The friend of everyone and everyone to be

Soaring over the rugged landscapes of the forest
Beside her friends, they ran
A symphony of hooves, of wingbeats,
Running beside an angel, they had wings

And so one day
She met a stag masked behind a skull
And her heart fluttered, she blushed
As pink as dawnlit nights and February's precious arrow

And so the stag, the King of Glitches
Sat beside his Queen,
An angel fallen down to Earth
The sweetest doe of all

A cry
Pierced the sky
A thousand trumpets blew, synchronized
To scream to the heavens, "Why?..."

For the fallen angel
Cursèd by a sudden fate
The fae who had blessèd all who had come to know her
Was called back to cirrus in the sky

And the sky of the forest grew dark,
And the hearts of the many deer fell to ground with broken wings
And tears streamed down the faces of the ones who truly loved her
And lowly did their heads hang down, in mourning of the sweet

And sent down from the heavens
Was a star of silvern brightness
Circling o'er a flora
In the depths of forest's midnight

And in the air, the stars flew 'round
And sang a somber sound along

i just finished watching Watership Down and it was FREAKING GREAT. so i formulated a little story about the beginning of the Endless Forest. no, i dont believe in it, so dont label it as a crazy religion. i just felt like writing it. its kinda stupid and you probably wont like it XD HERE WE GO

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

Children of the Endless Forest, lend me your ear, and I shall tell you of a story that has been long forgotten. It is true that the origins of the world are yet unknown, but there is one story that has tested the intellect of many a mind.

In the beginning, there was a great god.

This god created the universe: the planets, the stars, the moons. And the god designed each planet to his liking. One planet he decided to put life on. He created trees, plants, waters, the sky. He created every form of life, from the simple animals to Man. But he also created five special creatures, giving each of them his face.

One was the Dog, who had a longer face and tail. Another, the Cat, with large fangs and sharp claws. The Bird, with great beating wings and beautiful feathers. The Rabbit, with powerful legs and great cunning. And the Deer, with great and mighty antlers. These five creatures were given their own territory and intelligence. They soon multiplied, and filled the earth, alongside the other creatures of the land.
