Stranger in the endless forest

August 11, 2011 - 2:32am — lauricard27
Okay... I've found The Endless Forest today and here I am. Talking to a deer, telling him to run and dance instead of studying for the term tests. Yaayy... Frown Well... It's not the deer's fault. It's very difficult for me to sit down and study, even when I really like what I'm studying.
Maybe I should start talking about myself a little. I don't think that anyone will read this anyway jajajajaja. My name is Laura, I'm 18 (soon 19) and I live in Argentina (I was born here too and I don't think I could live anywhere else but here). I'm studying to be an English teacher. It's my first year in "college" (I think that English speakers call "college" to what we call "profesorado" but I'm not sure). I'm sorry if I don't write correctly, there are lots of things that I have to learn about the language yet (and lots of things that I should know but I don't remember Sad ).
I like drawing things, it kind of a hobby that I have since I was very little. Some people told me to study drawing or something like that but I'm scared of doing that. I think that maybe people will try to change my style, or maybe I will get tired of it, or maybe it becomes something obligatory for me to do and then I will start to hate it (this happened to me before with other activities). Because of this, I draw whenever I want, whatever I want, and I study something that I like a lot too.
Well... Since it's an Endless Forest page, I suppose I have to talk a little about it. I've been given a notebook for my soon-to-come birthday. So, with all this thing of having privacy (I used to share computer with my two brothers) I've been looking at this and that on the net and I've found this strange and peaceful world and so different from what I've seen before... Here I am! I hope I can stay for a long time Laughing out loud

Not always as planned, though sometimes that can be better

August 10, 2011 - 3:31am — Bastilion
I cannot remember the last time I went for a stroll with no purpose. I had intended to do just that...but soon found purpose to my stroll, as I sensed the presence of someone very familiar.
I found my dark companion amidst the long grasses of the birch forest. Along with another - Quad I believe.
I do not often venture here, but perhaps I should. It is quite pleasant, much more quiet than the darker side of this forest.
Perhaps that is why I found the two of them within slumber. It did not take long for Darkweaver to awaken. He seemed surprised at my appearance, and greeted me warmly...

...before there was the bright gold of a cast spell.

...I now adorned the bright plumage of the peacock pelt.

Well...two can play at this game...
Feeling a small spark of mischief, I returned the gesture.
He now matched the still-slumbering Quad.
I shall get true "revenge" later.

The Forest seemed interested in continuing with its coincidences, for later, it was Dark and I who matched, he being cast upon by the now-awake Quad.
I also learned that the small stag has been receiving lessons in combat. Somehow, I cannot imagine my dark friend as a teacher. But I suppose even those close to me can still be surprising...

I shall end this here before it increases even more in length.

I remain,

Bastilion

Recognition and Restlessness

August 6, 2011 - 12:46am — Zergarikiaka
[=crimson]Perhaps it is too much to force myself to continue these writings. So much time has begun to lapse between each entry... However, they do help maintain the memory. Such has been growing fuzzy lately. If anything, it might be necessary to write more now, than before. I'll have to think about this.

Now, when did I write last? There is some catching up to do, text wise.

I have encountered Nightmare recently. He chose to join me by Laghodessa's gravesite until Walter came around and had me follow him away. He was quick to lead the way to where Burrow, Ephra, and a select few others had gathered. We all sat together and conversed for a time. It was good to see Burrow again, after so much time. The same can be said about Walter and Ephra. Such are those who deserve respect. After a short time, Walter departed from the group, presumably to fetch another deer. Nightmare located the group, and I left to meet with him.

We had a friendly spar, both to relieve stress on one end and stretch the stiff and tired body of another. Hnn... Perhaps the spar could have lasted longer, but I chose not to over-do it with this deer. After all, we had an audience, and it would have been unwise to cause much harm.

After the spar had ended and the group broke up, I retired to the ruins. It was not long before that hunger rose again once there, and after leaving poppies at Lagho's gravesite I left the sacred grounds to hunt.

Much unlike the previous hunt, this one bore success. Once again I found a stag sleeping alone in the forest. Again, it was one with mighty horns... the kind I would rather have broken and left in shambles. With care, I stepped around the sleeping stag, looking around for potential observers. The air carried no scents of nearby deer or fawns, and the stag showed no sign of waking. With the opportunity now opened, I lowered my head and sunk my teeth into his throat. One quick yank would be all it took to snatch life from the sleeper.

Natali's Story Part 17

July 29, 2011 - 9:25am — BouncyDeer1
Natali was tired.She was tired from wanting love..but who would she love?Sure she loved her friends and family but..almost all of them had a companion.Here she was,alone.She sighed and curled up in a ball fast asleep already...


"Where...where am I??"She practically whispered.This wasn't the forest..was it??Everything was destroyed!She could see deer fighting nearby and fawns getting hurt..Where was she???She looked around a bit and found her family and friends,Crucio,Levi,Nanetta,Rumen,Big Bunny,Honeyfur,but they were all sleeping."My god..they all have blood on them!Wake up everyone we have to get out of here...this is isn't safe..what happened here??" "What happened?Well this is what the forest is like now..without love no family,friends,mates,nothing.Just hate.Everyone is either gone or passing away..."Said a deep voice from behind her.Natali turned around and saw the gods!Yes,it was them.They were both pure white and massive!"But why am I here...?This is just a dream right?Right??"She said almost in tears."Yes,it is.But this is just a nightmare...Now wake up Natali wake up..."

Natali bolted awake.She was sweating like crazy and was shaking."That was horribel!A world without love...just horrible.."She thought as she watched some fawns play.Thinking about how wonderful it would be if she actually found a stag that loved her too...She sighed and fell sleep again.

Natali's Story Part 16

July 28, 2011 - 6:48am — BouncyDeer1
Natali woke up.Strangely she felt..different?She stood up and she felt heavier than usual and she was so much taller!"What has happened to me??"She thought as she walked to the Pond fearing what she might see in the water.When she reached the water she took a deep breath then looked down.There,looking back at her was a grown up Natali!She gasped and smiled a big smile."Finally!I'm grown now!I..also gained weight...hmm well for a adult I'm still slender.."She said to herself.She walked a bit trying to get used to her small hooves that had to support her long legs and long body.Finally she went to rest in the Old Oak and fell asleep.


"Hello!"Natali opened her eyes and rolled them at her biological father."Can I not sleep without you in my dreams??"She said."Well I forgot to tell you that I won't need you anymore.I know we said that we would meet again when you were grown.But since your mother already died I don't need your immortality.." "So you were just going to leave me defenceless while I'm still trying to get used to being a adult?I..I couldn't think of you as a worse parent ever...Just leave me alone from now on ok?Please..I just...*sigh* goodbye..."With that Natali stirred awake.

"Oh well at least I can sleep peacefully now.."She though before she went to the Pond for a drink of water.

The Diary of Seed, 7-26-11

July 27, 2011 - 5:07am — Seed
[=#006400]The wheel of fate is turning, as another revolution spins its way around and around. Last year was up, and before that it was down: it's the swirling pattern of summer, the season where fate decides its course, where the wheel stops and see what's engraved on it.

She asked me if we still had a future. Today she told me that I hurt her, never seeing her enough. Today she said a lot of things, starlight tears clouding the skies of her eyes, blue and jewel-like as the pond, and just as wet. And just as likely to make me feel like an absolute toad, for giving her reason to say those things. I love her, and I'll fight for whatever it takes to make her happy -- so what did that make my defense of us? Because I had to.
I still love her, too much to go gently into farewell. I'm too selfish for that, and... And because I didn't know if she wanted my permission to go, or my permission to say. I know what she says, but what she meant?
We both ended up going off to think, in tears. I pulled myself together enough to sit by Saosin. I'll have my answer tommorow.
It's my fault. I've been away too much. I haven't done right by her...

I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Oh, fortuna, spin me to a place where no one will be hurt by me! By my sloth and my wanderlust and my selfish heart...Spin me somewhere where I'll be safe, too, and never have to imagine her saying farewell, forever, with a heart full of love.
Please. I can't stop thinking of it.
...And, of course, the moment I see Terrant coming towards me -- probably looking for an amusing evening -- I go and pull him into this. Poor Terrant. He seemed so surprised. In the end, my heart couldn't keep going, and the moment I saw the warmth of his face, the old nostalgic carefree feel of that strange and quiet birch-dweller, my heart folded like a house of cards, and I was overcome by tears. He let me sit next to him and cry into his fur, until Scape showed up.
