I missed him OMG!! Want to interact with him again.

Do you have Skype? I feel like I lost you somewhere.

Track!

Oh wow...Hi, hello everyone! xD

Kaoori - Heh, here's to hoping I can keep him going without causing a huge ruckus. xD
I do have skype: l.baal

:3 ♥

Track this.

His was a presence she could never forget, no matter the time gone by when she hadn't seen him nor heard from him. So when she'd been resting on Dandelion Hill, nearby the ruins and felt that familiar aura, smelled that familiar smell.. her hair stood on end before she was even fully awake.

The little shika's head shot up sharply, ears swiveling in all directions to catch any sound of one of the ones she feared most in this forest. A glimpse of a shadow on the other side of the ruins registered her fears, and she lay low to the ground, crawling to the other side of the tree. She doubted he had seen her. Running would only attract attention.

(you don't have to reply if you don't want to, just letting old Zaze know Kao remembers. XD)

(nono, i wasn't in forest at all. xD was just throwing this at you because I'm not in as much as I used to be. ;_; )

(nah, not at all. ^^ and alright! .. still have that picture eddie drew of Zaze calling Kao a cow too, rofl xD)

[Kao - lol, me too. xD
Carnival - Thank you. :3]

Steps slow and measured he took pleasure in the death they wrought, flora once green and vibrant withered and died before him. So long he had languished in nonexistence that to see his might unleashed yet again upon an unsuspecting forest, well, he could barely contain his delight.
Barely.
Looking from the death of hapless flowers, the ruby glint of his eyes took in an all to familiar sight; stone overgrown with moss and vine, falling into decay, the ruins. He had spent much of his time among them, tormenting one of the fairer flowers of this eternal forest.
Mercury tongue slavered over bladed jaws at the memory of her silken hide...tender flesh. Ah, of all the wonders contained within these endless walls, she had been the most...pleasing. If he could scent anything over his own vile smog, he knew the ruins would fairly reek of her.
Perhaps she yet remained among those stones...With a black spattering of thick sludge, he turned the dull metallic gleam of his hooves towards the stones. They were as good a place as any to begin his search.

[Ah, you're too kind. :3 ♥]

Forcing his bulk between close laid stone, smearing the putrefaction of his slick fur as he passed, there seemed no sign of the delicate beauty. There was nothing before him but the tombs of those long past, and they held no interest to the foul beast.

With a smog laden breath he trudged among the headstones, heedless of those that gave beneath his weight. She was not here. No amount of destruction would bring her to him...Did she even remain among the living in this place?

Massive jaws tore wide with a foul spray of sludge as he gave voice to his irritation. She must remain and he would find her. This land may be endless, but only in the minds of those who did not see it's repetition. She could not hide forever. Shouldering free of the ruins he moved outwards, beginning a slow spiral from the heart of the old stones. If he was lucky, she was not far. Possibly just over that hill...

[Anytime. ^_^]

Trudging forward, heavy head giving a violent shake to free bits of vine and rubble from blood hued antlers, he nearly missed the telltale glint of stars glittering in a pelt of midnight. It was the barest hint of color, but he knew that hide better than his own oily countenance.
Her.
"Slithering through the trees little jewel? Do you think hiding as an insect will allow you escape from my grasp?" The gravel rasp of his voice echoed from the depths of his steely jaws as he turned to face the hill that hid his prize.

Ah, that voice. He could nearly taste the fear in it. A guttural huff of amusement rumbled up from his chest as he watched that delicate frame freeze before nearly pirouetting away.
The chase was on!
His bulk held him apart from her nimble flight, but speed would build and he would have her in his sights soon enough. He knew her, she would run for water the little minx, and he fully intended to cut her off before she found it's cool embrace.
Taking no heed of the branches that tore at his antlers or the smaller flora of the forest, he plowed forward. The only thing that held that fiery gaze was the soft, bounding backside of his prey. [I'm so sorry, I couldn't help it. xD]

[I just had to do it. xD]

Finally gathering momentum, he began to close the gap between them, feeling a sudden euphoria as he saw her stumble. The thought of her small form being crushed beneath the tumult of his hooves pleased him to no end, but it was not to be. She regained her footing and though her stride was small, she had an easier time between the trees than he. The loss of footing for a moment did nothing to slow her and she seemed to be gaining yet again.
Expelling a foul snort of irritation he switched tactics. There was no way he could run her to ground now, but he knew one very important fact about this never ending hell that would give him an advantage.
He turned, as suddenly as his bulk could manage, loosing a few precious seconds as his side impacted a small tree, and vanished to nothing but the sound of thudding hooves. If he could use the forest's strange magic, the way it often turned in on itself, then he could perhaps get between her and the water without having to run her down. Or at least catch her before the pond, the stream he could deal with.

[Heh, I'm absolutely good with that. ^_^ If you can forgive me for completely guessing where they have made it to. I'm assuming she's heading dead for the pond, he's going to turn and come around from the other side of the stream. I...think... Geography is hard in TEF. xD]

He didn't have much time, he knew that. Also knew that her chances of reaching the water before he could head her off were far better than he cared for. He would not know that his luck was doubled by her timely hesitation, only that as he leaped the small stream at the pond's edge she had yet to reach it's safety.
Bellowing his victory, earth churning beneath deadly hooves, he charged.
