A few yards away from the pond, in the early morning. No one was awake, except for one. A doe was laying in a bed of violet flowers. She was in labor, laying there panting and crying out softly. The sun had just started to break over the horizon. Dull streams of pink light were piercing through the trees.

Hours had passed, and finally a new fawn was brought to the forest. The mother lay there for a few minutes, then got up. The fawn was asleep. She looked at it, so small and helpless. Surely it would need parenting. Tears flowed from her eyes, it ripped her heart to shreds. She called out loudly in all directions, hoping someone would hear. She looked back one more time, trying not to think of the worst. She turned around, and ran as fast as she could away from the fawn.

***

It was later in the morning, and more deer were waking. An old stag by the name of Siki was wandering through the cool morning air. Siki rubbed against a tree and pricked his ears. What was that? he thought. He listened closely, and he heard a small cry. It was very faint, but he knew what it was. It was a cry for help. Siki ran quickly over to where he heard the cry.

He soon came upon a small patch of flowers. A newborn fawn was laying in the middle, squinting its eyes and crying out for its mother. Siki looked around. There wasn't a doe to be found. A lump came up in his throat as he looked at the poor thing. No mother to help it through childhood. No mother to teach it or nurture it. It was all alone. Siki went over to the fawn and nuzzled it, calming it down.

"You poor thing." He whispered as the fawn rubbed against his face. "You're all alone aren't you? Well don't worry, I'm here. I'll take care of you." He smiled, "I've always wanted a little fawn of my own. It seems the gods are looking out for both of us."

I love The Endless Forest! I knew it was going to be fun, but I never thought I'd enjoy it this much!

I'm a little bummed that I have to wait a whole month before I get to be a full grown stag, but I should enjoy being a fawn while the times lasts I suppose

Thanks to all the deer who helped me get a new set when I fell into the river. Thanks you guys so much! ^_^

I HAVE A QUESTION! =]

a verry important question!


JADINE!! has anyone seen or heard from jadine in a while??? JAAAADDIIIIINNNEEE! =[

Wow, I am tired! Today was rough! I had to take to test fo technically four
hours. Jeeze...at least I had plenty of time to finish Jake and his Sis.
I thought it would take me two days at first but it actually
took one...WOW!
I still have to work on another deers pic two...
Don't worry I'm getting started on it right away(you know who you are )

Oh and Jake I've also been working on another pic with you and your
Sis...I started but didn't finish...I'll be done soon though...I NEED SCETCH PAPER!
One thing I hate though is that Jake almost has the same pose as his sis.
And I was trying something more delicate with his sister but it came out very
strong and high step ( just a word I use to call it athletic sort of).
Jake should have had that pose...Hmmmmm.....Oh well, I based Jake's backround
from where I first saw him...and I just saw this one pic that had birds flying around
theis two deer thought it was cool so yeah.

Normaly when I draw regular deer (if I spelled that right)
does don't have that much poof fur...Maybe that's what makes
her look so strong?

Frog: What a handsom young stag!


She's suppose to be trotting or High stepping( I use that word for two things
one athletic and it's a type of way a horse walks while in show)

Yay, the server's back up! X]
I had to find ways to entertain myself while it was down, though, so I have a bunch of screenshots from the last 2 days uploaded to an album.
The first day's shots were already seen on the community site, but regardless of where you're reading this, I'm linking from the first pic of the first day. Just hit next to see the next image:
Server Down

And now I move onto the fun that was had when I discovered my deer could see others in the Forest again.
Scape came upon a big group of deer and a dance broke out.


8O Dude...

After an antler battle near the lake, Taiko appeared. Scape greeted him with an antler spell after he woke up. X] Then Richter switched in and acted insane with Taiko. XD Until Seed showed up! He needed set help. After that was done with, Seed and Richter became carousel deer and sat in a tree.


Where they were joined by Trinket.

Scape came back during a tree-dance, but thas when Seed vanished. =/
Trinket and Scape eventually went to the lake (Richter came back again), where it was found that Trinket was a true mer-deer. O.o She couldn't figure out how to do it, and even called Scape back in, though he couldn't either. But he did find the spot where you can jump on the lake without falling in right away. XD

Today was a great day in the forest, especially since I can actually meet people again. I'm back to my old, boring Fawn self...being a full-grown Doe was so cool! I was taller, faster, stronger...at least I only have to wait 1 more week until I grow up! I'm so excited! I don't really know what kind of strange magic it was that caused me to grow up and for all the other deer to vanish, but my human said it was something about a server. I wonder what on earth that is? Not like it matters, since everyone's back today! Here are some cool pictures of my day in the Forest.

I was really surprised when I met this big group of deer. I was just galloping through the forest all my my lonesome when I heard a Fawn bellowing the distance. I replied to see if they wanted company, and my cry as met by a chorus of fawn AND stag/doe roars. Immediately interested, I ran to the source of the racket to find this immense group of deer all jumping, bowing, dancing, and spell-spamming. I wonder if Quamar noticed that we were all doing this around him.



After messing around with the larger group and helping a stag (later identified as Burro) try and get the mask he wanted, me and a few others broke off from the main group and went off to dance around a clueless Fawn who had drifted off to sleep. Silly, huh? I was also really happy to see Krypto there. We just keep running into each other!



I really remember why or how it started, but after we all grew tired of dancing, chaos broke out. But a good kind of chaos, if that's even possible. It was like a big party. All of us just started running and jumping around, and we were soon joined by a few other deer who did the same thing. It was great fun!

So...got on, normal picto-cluster.

Waited a bit.

Checked back.

Deer.

Did something else on a site.

Check back.

MORE deer.

They're not moving, but...

o_o;

This is more deer than I've ever seen in my lonedeer LIFE!

*dances*

EDIT: This could just be a fluke, though...since I closed and re-opened TEF, and now I can only see two nameless deer (they obviously aren't supposed to be nameless, lol)

Well, I finally got to play TEF for the first time and a I really like it, but I would like to know how to you personalize your deer or can you not do that when you're a fawn?

Yaay, it is woorking! :F
