"Do you dream that the world will know your name?"

"There were things that made us wonder who we really were.", the doe spoke. The wind blew past the green feathers that grew from her head. "There were times that we thought we'd give up. But we looked to each other and carried on."

She lowered her head, catching the scent from the blue flowers that grew where she sat. Her body sat peacefully, the blue and white fur caressing the grass as she shifted slightly.

"There were times we wondered why we were here, what our purpose was. We've questioned many times, and more times than not none of us ever got an answer."

She smirked a little, "Well...tonight, I was given one."

The doe looked back up. "They asked me, 'Do you dream that the world will know your name?', and I answered, 'The world may never know the name Zephyr and I will still love it.' They asked, 'Do you care about all the little things or anything at all?', and I replied, 'Not as much as I care about those who have big things in their life."

Her eyes lifted to the sky, "They asked, 'Do you believe in the day that you were born?'. I laughed and said, 'I live, don't I?' They smiled and then asked, 'Well then, do you know that every day is the first of the rest of your life?' I looked to them, and said the words they wanted to hear me say:

'Don't tell me if I'm dying, because I don't want to know. If I can't see the Sun, then maybe I should go. Don't wake me because I'm dreaming of angels on the Moon, where everyone you know never leaves too soon.'"

She smiled, her eyes staring at the Moon. "We'll go there one day, when the Earth doesn't need us anymore. Until then, we are here to live and love the world. It doesn't mean we're not angels yet...after all, the Twin Gods created us all perfectly."

Look at my icon. What do you see? Is it the artwork of Quad I got from my secret santa, or is it a picture of the Faun from Pan's Labyrinth?



For some reason, when I use Firefox, it won't change my avy, but when I checked it on Internet Explorer, it's got the Faun avy I wanted. That's really wierd...

I refreshed my page and it fixed it. If you're still seeing the avatar on the left, refresh the page, cause I changed it to the one on the right of the Faun.

Here's a little idea for a game: complete the sentence!

Only a nameless...

I'll start XD

Only a nameless will run up, nuzzle you, and run away.

Heya guys, before I left on my trip, I created a new baddie named Nekumbra. If anyone has any spare time, could you draw her for me? She's really simple...



She's a doe with spider legs coming out of her sides. That's all you really need to know. Also her eye color is pretty much black or a darkdarkdark brown. Anything is wonderful - sketches, colored artworks, drawings, I'm happy with anything.

I'm also still looking for artworks of my other two, Iugulare and Anirapio, but they're a little more tricky than Nekumbra.

Anyway, thanks again, and once again, sorry for being such an art whore. I love you guys

Nekumbra's received fanarts so far...

[=red]Also please read my explanation for bumping this topic in the comments.

Take a look!

Live Africa Wildlife Webcam

There are antelope, some other bigger deer-ish animals (almost look like Gemsbok), and elephants out now.

Because I wanted to do it XD. Original meme here. I'm in red and Quad's in blue

Favorites:

Favorite color:
Red of course!
I like all colors! Blue (cause I'm blue), Red (cause my antlers are red), Green (cause the Forest is green)...

Favorite kind of music:
I like a lot of stuff, it's impossible for me to pick just one genre
I really like post-grunge rock, especially Nickelback

Favorite songs:
Well my CURRENT favorite is "Listen, Children" by Asia
I really like the song "Daily Anthem" by David Cook

Favorite poems:
"If" by Rudyard Kipling
"Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening" by Robert Frost

Favorite season:
Autumn
I kind of like both Spring and Winter equally.

Favorite holiday (and why):
Christmas of course. It's five days before my birthday
Abiogenesis!

Least favorite holiday (and why):
Valentine's Day, because aside from my family I never really get anything (never fallen in love)
If there was a National Deer Hunting Day, I'd hate that!

Feelings about holidays in general:
I enjoy them.
Well, other than Abiogenesis and whenever BZD is around, we don't get that many...

Feelings about New Year’s:
It's the day after my birthday
*shrug* I can't tell months or whatever.

Feelings about Valentine’s Day:
I don't hate it, but I always feel kind of left out.
That's the day I gotta nuzzle Mazey over and over, right?

Feelings about St.

I want to wear his mask. I want to honor my dad.

Quad's standing by one of the mushroom trees at the Ruins, hoping someone would spell spam him. There's a bunch of fawns around but they don't seem to understand what I'm asking for.

Got it, thanks for the help.

"One day, I'll be just like him!"

The great stag sat up at once. I feel asleep!, he thought immediately, and looking around he found himself alone by the willow at the pond. His father as well as Wafiya were long gone, though a pool of blood stained the ground where the old stag had lay.

Quad sat up, looking off to the Pond. He's gone, isn't he?, he thought, I failed to protect him.

He walked away, going deeper into the Forest, looking for others to talk to. All he saw were fawns playing. Fawns playing...

"Come play with me, dad!"
"Not today, son. I have to take care of something."
"Dad, don't go! Don't..."



The old memory played in his head, haunting him. His father once played with him when he was younger, but he started to remember that he was often doing other things. Quad always thought he was just a busy man.

He kept going, past the Ruins, and stopped at his old sleeping pillar.

"He got into another fight...I can't get to sleep...I can't stop seeing him hurting that other deer..."



Quad snapped out of it. He shook his head sadly, remembering that night as well. Continuing on, he found an old spot where he remembered helping others with pelt spells. Another vision seemed to pop into his head there.

"Take that ridiculous pelt off! You look like a pervert!"



I just wanted to look like Dad..., Quad thought to himself, I just wanted to be like my idol and mentor.

He kept going, running, getting away from the memories.

So yesterday I was in the Forest, everything was great, got to play for the first time in a few months since the game had been crashing on me before and then I was on my trip.

Tried it today, and it's crashing once again.

GAH I thought it was fixed!! This is really irritating, I miss the Forest so much!!

Good news is that Quad is actually in the Forest. I haven't been able to connect for a long time, and apparently whatever the problem was, it got fixed while I was away.

Bad news...I don't really know anyone who is online... XD
