Updates september 27th, 2022;

Fixing a lot of stuff around on bios while I try to get back into things <3
Tried to get back into TEF last year as well, but then my dog's health declined and in the beginning of december last year she had to be put down, my best friend for close to 15 years.

This took such a heavy toll on me and I think was a major reason for why I was unable to get back into TEF. But yeah, new attempt! So if you ever spot any of my characters in the forest, pls don't be afraid to say hello to them or poke me on discord or something <3

He slowly nodded... and

He slowly nodded... and obviously hesitated for a moment.

"Seems to me... you were in some fight again...?"

He was aware how bad the doe's condition was... but he didn't exactly felt pity for her. It was merely couriousity...

"Yes, I was." Illrose craned

"Yes, I was." Illrose craned her head, looking at her own body for a moment, bloody and beaten up.
"I tried to separate two fighting stags, one of them a dear friend, and the other one an adopted son of sorts." She stopped for a moment, shaking her head slowly.
"Not a good idea, but I wouldn't just stand there and let them hurt each other either...then it all kinda escalated the last days." The last three days hadn't been anything else then fighting, it seemed, always with Gustiro involved. The red stag seemed to have completely lost it this time, and Illrose was unsure if they would ever be friends again, or if she even could trust him enough to call him a friend. She lowered her head, resting it on the stone floor, but her ears were pointing at The Collector, showing the stag he still had her attention.

"I see... always


"I see... always protecting... " he stayed silent for a while.
A faint cloud of shadows reaching towards her skull mask, seeing if it got hurt in those battles.
No damages worth to mention...

The Collector sighed, slowly doubting his decision...
... the shadows weaving up into his crown. Only one mask was tangled up there today, it was heavy enough though, so he wouldn't be able to carry much more anyways.
Two of his tines piercing through the eyeholes of a massive skull. Despite its heavy build, it still had an elegant, slim and somehow agressive look.

This was the one mask. It would be hers.... yes...
... but... now seeing this... he started to doubt again.


"Always doing the right thing I guess." he mumbled, a little apsent minded.
Snowsauria's picture

Illrose nodded. It seemed

Illrose nodded. It seemed there always was someone that was in need of protection these days, always someone she cared about and wouldn't see hurt. She didn't say anything while one of the shadows came toward her, examine the skull she wore. She was glad Cadaver's mask hadn't taken much damage during the fights, but of course, Cadaver was a warrior, he had to have a strong mask that could take blows without being broken. She had noticed the single mask hanging from The Collector's antlers, and the sight of it had made her heart race for a moment. It was a perfect mask. But it could be just a coincidence he had the mask with him, so she didn't mention it.
"I feel it is the right thing to do, but sometimes I still doubt it really is. I think I'm too protective of those I care about."

The skeleton made a noise

The skeleton made a noise somehow reminding of a chuckle.

"You... propably will be surprised to hear that I can relate to this feeling... this need to protect..." After all he felt responsible for every single mask he could save , for every single one he brought to mother grey, this secret place on the edge of the forest, well hidden from all the worthless.

And he felt responsible for that one mask up in his tines.

He lowered his head slightly... yes... he was doubting his decision...
... but he made it.

He won't retreat from it. He never did...
... he always stuck to the decisions he made.

Even those that led him into troubles.

The shadows rose up to his antlers once more, lifting the mask from the tines it hung on, and gently placed it between them on the grey stone of the ruin's floor... resting on the mask as if he couldn't let go of it yet

"You can?" She looked up at

"You can?" She looked up at him, somewhat surprised. But she then gave a laugh, or at least attempted to.
"It's actually reassuring to hear I'm not the only one feeling this way." Her eyes followed the shadows when they rose up to his antlers, to the mask. Illrose then lifted her head slowly, barely breathing as the shadows lifted the mask from the stag's antlers, placing it on the floor. Did this mean he would actually give her a mask? She looked down at it, lowering her head some.
"It is a beautiful mask." She simply stated, noticing the shadows were still holding on to it.

"Yes it is." He replied,

"Yes it is." He replied, again somewhat absent minded. "Beautiful and strong..."

Again he was silent for a few moments.
Then finally the shadows relased the mask with a sigh.

"... and it is yours."

While the shadows retreated from it he remembered where he found it...
It was many years ago... the former owner was a proud stag... a fighter like her.
But old.
He actually didn't mind he took the skull away from him. That warrior knew it was time to let go.

He nodded.
"Time to let go." He mumbled.
Snowsauria's picture

The more she looked at the

The more she looked at the skull, the more beautiful it seemed. She could feel how her heart began to beat faster again when the shadows let go of the skull, and The Collector spoke. He gave the mask to her, he really did it. For a moment, Illrose completely forgot all about the pain in her body, and she was filled with happiness and relief. Finally, she had a mask again. She looked at The Collector, as if to make sure he was serious about it.
"Thank you." She then whispered, then nodding when the stag seemed to be ready to leave.
"I promise I'll take good care of it...and if there is something I can do for you in return, just tell me." Sadly, she had no mask to give him in trade for the skull, but she did owe him something in return now.

He nodded again. It was not

He nodded again.
It was not often that one thanked him for something.... so... he felt a little bit embarrassed.

Of course, skinless bones couldn't show any emotion... sometimes he was greatful for this.

He stood up, bowed slightly.

She really remembered him of that old warrior.

"Maybe... one day you won't need it anymore... and it will return to me." He turned around, slowly climbing down the ruin.

He turned back once more "Take care... not only... of that mask..."
... then he started to leave.
Snowsauria's picture

When The Collector stood up,

When The Collector stood up, Illrose did the same. She could only give him a small bow in return, as low as her aching back let her, and she nodded.
"Yes, of course." If she one day decided to give the mask away, The Collector would be the one to get it. Or, of course, if she should suddenly pass away. Not unlikely if she continued to fight like she had done the last days.
"I will, thank you. You take care as well." She waited until the stag began to walk away before she sat down again, her legs unable to keep her up much longer. She gently removed Cadaver's mask, before she bent down and put on the new mask. It fit perfectly, it's weight in perfect balance with her heavy antlers. Yes, this was a good protection to her face. It was indeed perfect. She pulled Cadaver's mask closer, had to keep it safe until she was healthy enough to give it back to him.

Who is the deer with the

Who is the deer with the antelope pelt? And the other ones? xD My map won't work.

Are those thoughts something

Are those thoughts something he could respond to? Or something he wouldn't be aware of? *wondering about responding*
Snowsauria's picture

Well, since it's supposed to

Well, since it's supposed to be her thoughts he shouldn't be aware of it..but I've had others responding to what's been there before, so I guess you can respond if you want to. :')
Pegasicorn's picture

Ah, well if they're thoughts,

Ah, well if they're thoughts, what I would put wouldn't make sense then. XD;
(In a nutshell, he's not bothered since he sleeps so much at any time of the day. Laughing out loud )

x'D Lol, good. :')

x'D
Lol, good. :')

"Teh... you are so much into

"Teh... you are so much into that idiotic dullhead that you already start to act like him... yes...?"
Snowsauria's picture

"No! I wasn't thinking about

"No! I wasn't thinking about him at all, I didn't try to act like him, I...I just wanted you to sit there.." Her voice trailed off, not at all as confident as it used to be. Illrose didn't know why she had done it, not when they even had talked about how much they disliked Gustiro commanding others around. Her ears had flopped down, and her eyes begged for forgiveness for this moment of recklessness.

A grin crept on his face


A grin crept on his face "Yes... yes... you just wanted me to sit there... wanted me to sit there..." he replied calmly...

He shook his head rapidly again, like he always did when a situation started to stress him... when a nother trigger was touched...

"You... you shouldn't do that... that again, no, no.. hehe... " he nodded while his grin calmed down to a crooked smile.
Snowsauria's picture

"I won't do it again, I'm

"I won't do it again, I'm sorry." She whispered. Her emotions was like a roller coaster after everything that had happened lately, most of it just bad things. Her mood had really gotten up when she felt well enough to run and fool around again, and in the end she had managed to ruin everything.
"I won't do it again." She whispered again, this time staring into the distance, before she turned around and walked away, head low, as if the antlers finally became to heavy to wear. She slumped down next to a tree not too far away from Jack and his little mute companion.

He smirked over when the doe

He smirked over when the doe finally woke up again.

"You look like a creeper over there, you know that, yes...?" the tune in his voice sounded content... somehow this was his way of telling her that he wasn't angry about that little incident anymore...

A quick calming down...
... most likely because Juliet was around...



(anyone else killed by the cuteness right now...? or just me...? |D )
Snowsauria's picture

She tilted her head slightly

She tilted her head slightly by the change in his voice. It sounded more casual...was she forgiven already? She sighed with relief, and hoped she would never do such stupid mistake again. A smile curled her lips.
"I know. That why I sit here." She replied, now her voice the same as usual as well.


No, it wasn't just you. :')

"Teh... you scare the kids

"Teh... you scare the kids away, big ugly dragon... yes..."
He lowered his eyes, still smiling...
... he didn't want her to see the look in his eyes... another opening in his defence.

Teh... whenever that little sweetheart was around... his defence broke... too bad... too bad


(good... good... xD )
Snowsauria's picture

"Pfft, no I don't! Haven't

"Pfft, no I don't! Haven't you seen the kids around here like dragons?" She chuckled. Sometimes, when she and her companions was swarmed by fawns, she wondered where they all came from. Sometimes it was as fawns grew on trees in this forest.
"If anyone here scare them away, it's you." She stood up, dared to get closer to Jack and Juliet before she sat down again.

THe smile on his lips became


THe smile on his lips became oddly forced... he looked up again, at some point at the horizon.

The white stag swallowed... "Ja..." he simply replied... somehow absent minded.

Stay away memories... stay away...

He shook his head again, then he suddenly turned his head, a big grin on his face. "Heh! Should hide it behind some pretty, pretty skull.... my face... yes..?" He snickered
Snowsauria's picture

Illrose tilted her head

Illrose tilted her head again, for a moment it seemed like Jack didn't even follow the conversation anymore.
"Something wrong? I mean, beside my stupidity?" She asked with a grimace, seconds before Jack turned toward her. She then chuckled slightly, shaking her head.
"Don't think that's necessary, the kids don't get that scared."

He shook his head once more,

He shook his head once more, laughed shortly...

"Nothing wrong, yes... everything fine, hehe..."

He sighed. "Teh... would be too heavy anyways... hehe... besides... where should I get one now hm... killing... killing some deer and using their, eh?" he smirked over to her.

Of course he knew about velocity and the special time around halloween... but still... this was also a possible way to get such a skull... right?
Snowsauria's picture

"Good." She nodded.

"Good." She nodded. Everything was fine.
"Heh, killing someone seem a bit too much, don't you think? You could ask The Collector, like I did." Illrose gestured to her new mask rather proudly.
"Or wait for Velocity." Illrose already looked forward to the giant stag came back to the forest. Not only because of him, but because if the atmosphere he brought with him.

"Collector..." he repeated

"Collector..." he repeated and lifted his eyebrows.
"... that freaky creature..."

Of course, he had heard of him... sometimes he could watch him at the ruins stealing masks.... but he never talked to him ... or had any other form of contact...

"Never... never thought that corpse could actually talk... or something, yes..?"

He talked to him once, yes... or better tried to.... but that skullheaded bastard ignored him constntly... like he wasn't even there.

...for that... he actually wanted to steal one of that skeletton's bones when it rested somewhere.... but... Jergens somehow... distracted him at that time.

He started to giggle while thinking of this plan... this little prank...
... maybe... some day...

Snowsauria's picture

"He is not freaky, he is

"He is not freaky, he is just...different. And he do talk. This is a magical place after all, isn't it?" She grinned for a moment, but it quickly faded, and she let her head down to the ground with a sigh. What she just had said was again a proof of how much this forest changed her. Killing for a mask was too much? In the 'old' days, she would have killed in the blink of an eye without hesitation, without any reason whatsoever.

It's okay.

It's okay. <3

"... still want to sit there

"... still want to sit there and cry, pride lady, yes..?" He smirked over to her.
Snowsauria's picture

"A part of me do want to."

"A part of me do want to." She admitted silently.
"But mostly I want to rip that bastard to pieces." She added with a growl, ears pinned to her neck. Yes, she wanted Gustiro to feel the pain she felt right now. Not physical pain, but psychic. She then sighed, shaking her head. Somewhat the fight with Jack had helped her feeling a bit better.

The corners of his mouth

The corners of his mouth curled up into a malicious smile.
"Hehehe... and I just thought my respect for you fadet completely... my dear lady."
He snickered gently.

"So so.... you want to shred him to peaces, yes.... hm..why... why not doing so, yes...?" there was still this smile on his lips.... and a strange shine in his eyes. The same shine that always lies in his eyes when he sees the opportunity for another 'game'...
Snowsauria's picture

An emotionless chuckle

An emotionless chuckle escaped her lips.
"I'm glad it didn't then. I need you, Jack. Especially now." Her voice was still emotionless, and her eyes seemed empty. She then tilted her head.
"Why I don't do it? I don't know. I was hoping Gustiro and I could become friends again, but it doesn't seem like it will ever happen. That is probably for the best anyway, he only brings trouble." Illrose stared out in the distance for a while, easily locating the red stag's position. It was tempting to let him feel the pain, but...she still cared about him.

"Teh .... friends..." he spat

"Teh .... friends..." he spat out.

No need to add anything else.... no... not now... concentrate soldier, stay calm.... maybe...

...maybe he would be able to...


He shook his head, let out a short laughter.
"Do you really think that dullhead ever thought of you as... as a friend, yes...?" The white grinned at her, still something lurking in his eyes...
"... don't you think he merely sees you as some... some kind of pet...yes?"
Snowsauria's picture

She should have listened to

She should have listened to Jack all the way from the beginning; no friends, don't let them close enough to hurt.
"I - I don't know." She stuttered for a moment. There was times she had believed Gustiro really cared about her, when they were all alone, and he showed her more affection than she could ever dream of. Then his claimed deer came around and she had to fight for his attention. Was she a friend, or was she merely a claimed doe, a 'pet'? She snorted heavily, like a bull ready to enter the arena.
"I am no one's pet!" She tossed her antlers, her eyes sparkling like the thunderbolts sometimes erupting from De Drinkplaats.
"If that is what he think I am, then he will regret the day he met me."

The white's eyes narrowed for


The white's eyes narrowed for a second, while the corners of his mout twitched up a little more.

Yes... yes... maybe... maybe he could...?

"Hmm... well... well have to admit, I.... I am really not an expert for... friendships yes... " his voice sounded thoughtfull... like he would really care about this situation...
..well... he did... in ecertain way....

"...but.... I had.... had watched Jergens.... yes.. that... that bastard.. heh... and... and his friends ...yes..? They... they where different... you... you know what I mean, yes...?" he looked up to her... a faint grin on his lips. "And then this... commaning around of that dullhead...." He snorted as well, his voice now angered "like... like I was his little doggie dog... yes..? God... how.... how i hate that..."

He shook his head, his earrings made slight clinking noises.


(sorry... slow xDD)
Snowsauria's picture

Silently, she listened to

Silently, she listened to what Jack said. It took a second before she understood- or at least she thought she did.
"So what you say is when you watched Jergens and his friends, you saw true friendship? And what Gustiro and I have is nothing like that. It's all about commanding around, fighting for attention, fighting because of jealousy...I'm tired of it. Tired of it all!" She snapped the jaws of her skull together for a moment, the blood boiling in her veins, boiling of anger.
"I think...I think I'll let him pay for what he has done to me. I'm not a puppy he can play around the way he wants to." Her eyes turned again in the direction she could sense Gustiro. She could set out for revenge right away. The recent fights had weakened her a bit, true enough, but not too much for her to handle yet another fight. And this one - she could feel it would be bloody.

He licked his

He licked his lips...
"Well... at.... at least this is how I imagine 'friendship'...yes. Heh, come my lady, you saw it yourself, didn't you...? you... you have watched that bastard as well... yes...?"

He lowered his head a bit...

"And.... and I know you... have plenty of friends...yes....? You... you can judge by them, can you...? hmm.. maybe you can help me with that then.... this... friendship thing... are... are they all like... like that dullhead ...?" he lifted an eyebrow, looked a bit puzzled...
... like he was really thinking about the meaning of friendship now....

He smirked, licked his lips once more.... he could almost feel the anger of that doe. Wonderful...
"Making him pay? Heh... yeha I.... I would propably do the same... yeha... if... if one would threat me like a filthy little puppy.... heh! God I would make him pay...!" He started to laugh, as if he just heard a joke... "... well, at leas this is my... human opinion.... No... no idea how a proud and mighty dragon thinks...yes? hehe..." he grinned at her.
Snowsauria's picture

Illrose nodded slowly. "Yes,

Illrose nodded slowly.
"Yes, I have seen him, with his friends." She slowly replied. What he said next made her think of the other friends she had - did any of them act like Gustiro did? No. Illrose shook her head.
"No one are like Gustiro. Kheiron, Joro, Bei...you - even though I know you don't believe in this crap - you all are there for me. But he, he treats me like a possession of his. That is not friendship." The more she thought about it, the clearer it became to her. How could she have been so blind? She then smiled, an almost dangerous smile curling her lips.
"Oh, I think we dragons have the same opinion as humans, at least when it comes to this. Yes, he'll pay." Illrose didn't hesitate anymore, she turned her body around, starting to move in the direction she knew Gustiro would be.

He smirked. No further words

He smirked.

No further words needed. Words... so powerful at times...

He followed her slowly... just to see what would happen next...
... if this little 'game' would be a success or not.

"I am sick of all this

"I am sick of all this wretched violence. It solves nothing. I am sick. of it." Hissed the white doe with a harsh, almost pained tone. She vigorously shook her head after. Seeing so much violence in so little time between others she knew had made her finally snap. "I don't want anyone hurting anymore, especially not you. Stay away from him if he's going to continue giving you pain. Forget him, Ill. Dwelling on what's been done is pointless, and you made it clear as to how you feel towards Gustiro. It's time to stop."
