The Black Swan

The Black Swan



The Black Swan is a keeper of time and Forest history; an ancient vessel created alongside the birth of The Endless Forest. She is rumored to appear as a wandering entity lurking within the deepest parts of the secluded birch, or haunting the Crying Idol on even rarer occasions. Legend states that if one were to wander far enough, they may stumble upon a clearing in the woods, where all direction and sense of time are lost. Shrouded by a looming mist and dense forest, she appears waiting under the sliver of a new moon. Encounters with The Black Swan are said to be unnervingly surreal and fleeting, and are most of the time written off as just, perhaps, an unsettling dream.

Despite the years, however, after many generations of this story being passed, those who have been visited by The Black Swan all recall the same: facing a pupiless gaze, chilling, and dark; pools of black so bottomless and deep it trapped the light within them. Instead of a window to the soul, they were met with a mirror of the onlooker.

They saw only themselves.

Hi Ravynn! Heehee, all these

Hi Ravynn!
Heehee, all these codes and awesome layout pages make me feel lazy nowadays. I also have to say I like to come to your bio to listen to the music you've put up.
But also, I'd like to say I read your rant and I'm very sorry for letting the perma-devout secret out back in those days. I had my reasons, but that doesn't matter, it just makes me feel bad you're still upset about it!
So I rather not post it on your rant-page in fear of getting beat, but yeah, just wanted to let you know you're a nice gal and that I'm sorry <3

I also made a little sketch for you a while back haha, noone saw the topic but since I liked yours the best I just want to make sure you've seen it <3

Don't be mad at me please, I never meant bad ._.

(:

(: <3333

Seele you're fine. I knew it

Seele you're fine. I knew it was you., anyway.
I think it was smart you told me here because I think you would've gotten pretty bashed on the rant topic. :/
I'm not angry at you at all. I promise. I respect you still and think you are an awesome member of this community.
By the way, I love your sketch.
Her neck, shoulders, and back are my favorite.
They looks so smooth and her neck looks so skinny.
I love the markings and I especially love the face.
Thank you. <3

I swear I spent all night

I swear I spent all night last night and a few hours today trying and failing to figure out how you do some of the things you do. Particularly getting the bg image to 'repeat' instead of not fill the page and getting the bg on the actual blog part.

I already said this, but you amaze me all the time. :3

Okay. Let me help you,

Okay. Let me help you, then.

Yellow: This is actually not a color code. It's where you put an image. It's the actual backround where you see The Endless Forest Community logo.

Blue: This is the blogging part. So like, on the code blog it would be the one with the lamp picture.

Green: These are for the comments. I just use black, but instead of a color code I use it as an image.

I hope that helps. (:
And thank you so much, haha.
You don't know how much that means to me. :/

Tally: I E-mailed you more

Tally:
I E-mailed you more codes to match the helper above.
I don't know if I sent them to you already.
Oh well.
Tally's picture

Nope I didn't get that code!

Nope I didn't get that code! I didn't want to ask though because I've been asking you too much already. <3

Thankyou so much, I'll mess with this one now. :3

How stupid of me. LOL. You

How stupid of me. Sticking out tongue
LOL.
You were probably like "Wtf..."
And any time. <3
Oh,
Make sure you split the summary at the cursor or it'll affect the entire TEF website for whatever category your blog is in.
Tally's picture

No not stupid, its not like i

No not stupid, its not like i was expecting you to send it or anything. XD I just felt selfish for asking.

Oh, and thanks for that last bit o' info. d:

It's only because I have other things running at once. (:

Thank you so much.
I'm really proud of it, haha.
I just hope people don't think Ravyn is a creepy/ evil character or anything because of her biography, just morbid in a really beautiful way.
Also, I love your signature.
And Art.
And biography, haha.

Amazon:
Thank youu. <3

Love your updates again...

Love your updates again... You really see so much trouble with your bio. <3
Ravyn has a humanform? Hm, could be that my deer will flee with a sight of that, haven´t desided yet, but don´t take it personally if she does. She´s just not too fond of humans. =)
Reyy's picture

Hmm. I think what I mean is

Hmm.
I think what I mean is that she has a human face until she puts the mask back on.
Then she has the appearance of a deer; real deer face and all.
She rarely takes her mask off.
No one really knows her human face, and no one else would know that it's a mask except for Ravyn.
Just like in the human society, no one knows TEF exists.

Then there's just her human form, so when she leaves TEF's boundaries she joins the human society.
TEF is her escape from reality, as it is mine.
I just make her world become more... real, I guess.

I hope that made sense. (:
Spyrre's picture

Oh, ok then, I thought she

Oh, ok then, I thought she would shapesift into a human or something. Human faces don´t bother my deer if Ravyn turns into human only outside of the forest. Interesting consept that your (yours and your deer´s ) realities cross like that but it actually fits in with overall surreal feeling that TEF has. =)
