Skokey had more dreams. Dreams of his father, dreams of his biological mother, and dreams of Fenqua. The dreams of Fenqua always consisted of her calling out to him, and he not being able to reach her. The next week, a week filled with painful nightmares, tortured him. He didn't want to go on like this.

Today was the day he would rid the world of him.

* * *

It was a very dull, rainy morning. The rain lightly tapped at the forest, dampening everything it touched. It wasn't a very nice morning, and most of the deer just stayed in bed waiting for the rain to stop. The forest was quiet, nobody was up yet. The rain was the only thing audible. Not even the birds chirped.

Skokey found it pleasing to be all by himself in the forest, for the most part. He felt the pain wracking his body and spirit dulling a little, listening to the peaceful sounds of a sleeping forest. But it wasn't enough to stop him. He knew more dreams would be invading his mind at night, more dreams to torment and hurt him. He knew they would only continue, and so he was going to stop them. Once and for all. He found it quite fortunate that no one was around, there would be no one to stop him. No one, except...

A young doe was striding around the Pond. She didn't seem to care about the rain, she just wanted to play in it. Once again, Fenqua found herself right next to Skokey, and not even knowing it. She looked at the dull blue-grey of the pond for a long time. Looking at how the rain poked at the surface, causing it to ripple. It was quite peaceful, but something interupted the smoothness of the pond.

She looked up to find a stag slowly creeping into the water. Fenqua came closer to see who it was. Once again, her heart filled with joy as she looked upon the familiar thing that represented a name. She knew it was Skokey, and she ran over to the other side the greet him.

“Skokey!” She soon stopped by the shallows as she looked at him.

so im getting pretty close to where Skokey recovers from his blinding depression. and hopefully he'll be able to make more friends! (so far hes only got does being his friends, he needs some stags so he wont get too sensative XD)

I'm thinking about adding two new deer to the lot. To put it shortly, the deer will be chosen depending on what mood I'm in each day. Aeros might have a bit of an update as well as Naire.
I can only tell you that the new names will start with a C and an L. xD

Yes, Liëka's having a rest. She *will* be back, don't you worry!

This is due to in, but mainly out, Forest problems. I want a break from Liëka, though I love her dearly and she wont be gone for more than a month/ month anna half.

Actual me typing this am still in forest, and FIU , Hunter , and Troll will still be there to play with.

I'm about to write about those three, so don't everyone ask about Troll; I know you havn't met him yet.

Chapter Three -What the Wind Said

The air this day was hot and moist with a pressure that spoke of rain one afternoon when Rise was reaching her fourth moon in the world. Her legs had grown long and her muscles strong and hard, though she still retained the tiny grace that set her so greatly apart from the rest of her brothers.

The great walking earth-mounds drifted along the edges of the river as they browsed on fresh grasses turning green with the rains and melt water from the mountains to the west. Small patches of wood collected around the banks here and there. The buffalo were too big to venture into the branches themselves, except for the calves who darted in and out of the woods in their games. Rise was small enough to be at home beneath the trees and bushes however, and she delighted in finding the sweet berries in the thicket to offer the old ones in exchange for the stories of things they knew and remembered.

Rise delighted in stories, though the old buffalo were slow to talk and when they did they never seemed to tell all that Rise felt could be said. They were creatures of few words, she supposed. She could speak to the rabbits and other diggers in the grasses, and the birds in the air as well, but they usually had even fewer words for her than the old buffalo did. Even the other calves did not seem to think quite as much as Rise, in her opinion; their only interests being grass and sun and seeing how much stronger than each other they could be. Still, she loved this gentle herd and what stories they had to share.

“Saw a great eagle once.” Old Gray-hump had been telling her just that morning as he munched his way thoughtfully through the grass. “Had wings-big-as-clouds and a cry like thunder.”

Chapter Two - Earth-Brothers.

The sun was shining far over the horizon by the time fawn’s slender legs could propel her no more. She had run for what seemed like ages and then her fear had compelled her to walk beyond that. Now however, head bowed and lungs burning she could go no further.

Her sides quivering with effort she sunk down into the tall grasses that seemed to be a sea all around her and let her head droop to the earth. The ground was hard and cold and the wind still blew its icy breath over the land, but at least here there was no snow.

When the tiny deer opened her eyes again night had already begun to fall. The sky was a deep cobalt with its million spattering of diamond lights and the last of the after light of the sun was just slipping beyond the horizon. She felt too weary to stand. Her legs ached with the pains of her first run and her first meal had long since been spent. Her instincts told her that she needed something to nourish her, but her mother was nowhere to be seen.

Her mother...

The fawn lifted her weary head to the wind and sniffed, searching for the familiar scent that spoke of love and warmth and safety. It was nowhere to be found. She smelled sharp dusty smells which were the dry grasses around her, and deep earthy smells that mingled with something cool and moist, and then there was something musky.

The fawn’s ears stiffened as she remembered the last musky scent she had caught, just before...

She sniffed again, her fear giving her legs just enough power to make a wobbly stand and allow her better reach of the scent. To her great relief this scent was different. It was musky, yes, but it was a warm earthy musk that spoke of sun and grass. She was too small to see over the tall grasses that surrounded her, but the fawn could feel the earth quiver beneath her feet as the big musky-earthy-thing seemed to be moving close by.

Ciao, cercando un po' ho visto che coloro che hanno messo la provenienza sono piuttosto pochi. Mi piacerebbe moltissimo sapere se mi leggete e quanti siete.
In modo da poter fare un piccolo gruppo per poterci incontrare di tanto in tanto e poterci scambiare informazioni qui.

Devo però avvertirvi che non avendo i requisiti completi per giocare risulto nel gioco come un cerbiatto down. ^__^

Spero di potervi vedere in molti!

Sonia.

Did I scare anyone? :3 I doubt I did
Yay for vacation time, I'm starting to to think I really need it :/. I'll be gone for the next few days, and then I'll be gone again from June 24-29. It seems like every time I go away something horrible happens or the drama goes into over-drive, so please play nice while I'm gone.

-hugs- Later guys, I'll miss you. It'll be interesting to see if the beach is more relaxing then the forest

EDIT: and on a happier note, today is Vision's doe day

I finally have a title for my story, inspired by one of the most beautiful songs.
You may know what I'm talking about if you have seen the movie Water Ship Down. ^^

No dying humans this time, but more of an introduction chapter. I hope it's not too boring, there will be more blood soon XDD Enjoy!

CHAPTER ONE

A few months later…

It was a cold and windy September’s day, the sun had hidden behind the clouds and wasn’t planning on coming back anytime soon. Even though the animals in the forest didn’t know about real seasons, they could feel the autumn spirit was near. It was time to pray and welcome the new season. To thank the Gods for everything they might give, or take.
At least one of the young does was certain the Gods would take something from her. They were her number one love, the flowers. The soft patches of grass, surrounded by poppies or blueberries were her favorite resting places. She was going to miss them, as she believed she was some sort of princess to them. A princess of the flowers, like them she would weaken during autumn and die when the first frost would come.

Even though she was still a fawn, Fenqua had grown older from the things she had been through. And more important, she had grown wiser. She had nothing to complain, she had a wonderful position in the herd and she never had to worry about thirst or starvation. Fenqua’s caretaker had done anything to raise her properly, but her methods sure left their scars on her.

Everyone can post here just saying by to Isa, as she will be going to her fathers house, and will not be on alot. She leaves soon so please post saying byes and stuff! She will be gone for 2 months



Timbers:
Isa, I dont think you know how much Timber <3's you...Your the best mate he has ever had, and he wont get another mate. He is going to miss you so much. But know he will be waiting here for you, by the pond, for your return. *NUZZLES* <3
