I Did Not Know My Own Strength... A journal entry by The Blackbird.

May 14, 2011 - 11:13pm — moonsoverwater
I now carry the bluebird's lifeless body with me. Somehow, I have to get it back to its family.

I tried several times to get spells from De Drinkplaatz... but only once did I become a crow. My belly had been too full of water and there had been no room for me to fly straight enough... outside the misty mushrooms you lose your magic, it seems. But now I lay on the cool stone of the bridge, trying not to retch.

His family must wonder where he has gone.

I can not bring the life back in to the bird, now, as bugs crawl over his carcass. I have vainly tried to shoo them away, but it has not worked any. I give up on that. I have even tried to drown the bugs by dipping him in the water, but that only made him stink, and not all the bugs drowned... more came. Now, he sits by me in the sunlight, the breeze ruffling his lusterless feathers. His eyes, I have closed, but I can still feel them boring in to me.

How could I, a bare spiker, have killed him? He was so beautiful.

And how do I get him to his family?

Hi people, deers and mystical creatures!
I'm visiting my family this week because my boyfriend is in Italy. I would've loved to come with him, but they are going to eat ice cream and look at cars, and I dislike those things. So instead I'm here. It's weird to travel back to where you've lived for many years. I can't imagine to live here again. I have a new home now. But still great to see them. Tomorrow my little brother and I are going out swimming. I try to deny it, but I love to swim. It has something to do with this "I'm born on the earth and staying in the wild nature" thing I have at the moment, but slowly I welcome the ocean and sky again. Just not too much open water or windy days for me, thank you.

Edit: I shall never jump from the tilt - or whatever they are called - again. My neck and head are destroyed.

Mufazzal greets you all and hopes you'll have a great time until we're back.

The Endless forest from a fawn's point of view. - Day four, the day of Mercury.

Day four, The day of Mercury.
I didn't have my dream about Maa again. I dreamt of the warm flowery meadow where I first met my new carer, Samorn. The hazy summer days seemed to float by in-front of me, until...

I opened my eyes, and blinked. The air was cold, and the fog was back. I looked around, and sure enough, Samorn's other form was there, by my side. I knew if it was Samorn a heart, someone would be there to guide me. For a while we hazily galloped through the forest, on and on, racing with only the wind against us. After a while, we slowed up. Samorn quickly trotted to my side as I nearly slid into a giant stone feature. She shook her head, then lead me around to the other side of the rocks. The rocks, they had faces. Faces that reminded me of the vision of Maa, and Samorn. Samorn kneeled down, forelock pressed upon the dirt, and a blue air came around her. This must be the air spirit Maa told me about, and I must pray to these statues. She said they were the "Twin Gods", and they were the ones who made the forest, and guide us through our lives. Maybe they sent Samorn to guide me? They must have made Maa too.... I should really rest on it...

Day three, The day of Telesto, one of Saturn's moons.
I dreamt of Maa again, and remembered her soft murmurings to me. Then I did remember the cold, and knew I must find family like Maa.

When I awoke, something was pulling me out of the grassy ditch I knew, into a beautiful meadow. I looked up, and saw a huge fawn, with Antlers like an Antelope, and a coat dark with gold spots, like the night sky. This wasn't a fawn, or Maa. It was another Doe. A grown female deer, just like Maa. The deer was kind, and gave me some mushroom juice like yesterday's juice. I knew I'd found a friend.

Day two, The day of the Moon.
I dreamt of the voice, and the warm pelt. The soft earth beneath my body, not remembering the cold I was returning to.

I awoke again, the now harsh wind belting down upon my neck. In reaction, without thinking about anything, I leaped up onto my hooves. I had stood for the first time. The voice, whom I decided to name "Maa", was gone once again. My stomach rumbled, I needed the warm juice Maa had called "Sap". I remember Maa telling me it came from the trees, and there were many trees around me. One of the trees has a bunch of growths spouting from it, so I leaned in.... And took a bite. It was the same juice! Maa had told me the right way to go, so I must remember Maa, I must.

Lol, deer.

For my first two attempts at drawing deer, I'm kinda proud of these. I didn't even use references for these two!

I did a few sketches while looking at references last night, then for these, I closed everything and listened to relaxing music while sketching/lining, until I was colouring. Then I used a few screenshots of my fawn and Artemis' Samorn to get the markings/colours right on both.

Problems still occuring? Anymore advice?

Ive asked this before, my forest doesn't want to work, when i try and rotate the little sleeping deer at the opening screen, the little guys is like stone, no words, noises, nothing, Ive stared at it for 2 hours now, absolutely nothing happens, when i close it out, a little white box with no title, words, or anything pops up, just a button saying "OK" I have no clue what this means, nor do I know why it inst working, I had cleaned all excess files from my PC, i have a TON of disk space left, I re-installed the game, and still nothing seems to work, my last resort is buying a new PC or hard drive, both cost tens of hundreds of dollars in my area, any advice on how to fix this problem? I admit it, I do miss the forest a lot, Ive been gone for such a long time, I cant even remember where everything is anymore, its really getting annoying. I will send Violet to smother you with cuddles and fluffy-doe-ness if I can get help, Arigatou gozaimasu~!

Hello

I've just signed up, and am really enjoying the game, although I am sort of bumbling around figuring out how things work. I'm just a faun at the moment, and I'm not sure how to grow larger, or change my appearance. But that's all right, it's fun to figure it out. If anyone has any tips, please tell me!

If you see a faun with a sign that is a zigzag and dot, that's me.

The Endless forest from a fawn's point of view. - Day one, the day of The Sun.

Day one, The day of the Sun.
A warm, fuzzy, nothingness. A cozy pelt curled around my own. Yet there was nothingness. Only black as far as my mind knows, for I do not yet know life.

Suddenly the warmth is gone. I begin to see for the first time, gazing, star-struck. I look around. There is no-one else within sight. The air is musky, foggy, yet a harsh breeze bristles past my face. This ground is not the soft dirt i remember, this is a grassy meadow, blooms astray. Perhaps I can find some thing to drink here, but i don't know where to find the warm sweet liquid I am used to, perhaps tree sap? I remember a soft voice, singing, and telling me about the forest. I remember the voice telling me about the many deer and fawn that call this forest their home, and that one day I would meet them. What to do? Why did the warm voice leave me, and where am I? Maybe I should just sleep...
