Seed's Poetry Corner: Beneath the Shadow of an Old Tree

Today, in the rain, I got to witness the planting, or perhaps birth, of a little fawn, and kept him company for a little while... While I was sitting in the rain, I dashed a little something off. I wasn't there for terribly long: is it really appropriate to show something like this, to have written something like this? W-well, regardless!

Beneath the Shadow of an Old Tree

We pry a hole from the mud
with the wet scraping of our hooves.
The tender seed, soft
with fuzz like a peach's skin.
Born in the rain, shivering, drenched
with no shield but those who gather near:

the perfect preperation
for the infinity of little gales
and cold tempests, for living
in the warm lee of friendship.


((This has been another visit to Seed's Poetry Corner, A part of a complete literary diet. Specifically, this is about Moonsoverwater's character Baum.))

The Forest Has Secrets ((Ryff))

Midday was often hot, but this midday wasn't. The breeze was wonderfully cool, the scents carried on it were floral and fragrant. The grasses were wet from the morning dew still, and springy under one's hooves. A fawn would be roused to play, but this one that appeared a fawn was not.

Tien scratched his fawn head against a tree, marveling at the feelings of rough bark against the little knobs where his antlers would soon be growing. Hnnnnnmmmmh. Itchy already though this body is so new... Why did I have to decide thi-i-i-hhhnnnn~ The feeling was nearly orgasmic to him, the feeling of any touch. His body protested as he left the tree behind, as well as a few soft wisps of fur embedded in the bark. A grassy knoll awaited him, and that is where he sat. It was far from any mushroom circles, which was unusual, but comfortable. There were blueberries nearby, as well as water if he wanted it.

The beautiful birch surrounded the fawn, though in the grass he was hard to see. Copper, spotted fur is quite hard to find. The little fae sighed and rested his head in the grass, his odd nose tickled by the low-laying weeds.

Fear Of Change



Chapter Three



Its been about a week since his last training with the forest magic Chi had taught him. It was a beautiful sunrise that awoke the sleeping fawn. Chi had been away for a week to bring Kurai's progress to Karanu. Its been an interesting week on his own, but he knew he was in a deep pile of crap. He had wandered to far from the borders Chi marked for him to stay in. He was staying in a beautiful large hallow oak tree, it seemed almost magical by the way it hummed him to sleep every night, and stayed quiet during the morning. It felt like him, a shaded, secluded home. Yawned, the fawns beak opened widely before looking around. Though farther away from him, hooves nearly shook the ground as Chi, a large buck with a pelt of midnight blue and stars, flew down the grassy hills, his hooves kicking up a rainbow trail of dew drops as he raced around. "Where are you, you stupid fawn?!" He snapped and looked around.

Finally awakening, Kurai paused, there was a sudden....Weight to his head, and it nearly hurt as well! Shaking out his head he tried to reach up and scratch the pained areas but his legs just were not long enough. Removing himself from his tree, he stopped in a beautiful pasture and closed his eyes, his hooves feeling for danger and his nose sniffing for a near by river. Smiling successfully, he trotted over. He was proud to have found use for one of his mentor's teachings, his teaching on Forest Magic seemed nothing but useless. Getting down to the river he lowered his head and lapped up the succulent sparkling pond water, his insides nearly sparkling as if he had just drunk gallons of sprite and he felt like he needed to burp, but it was a good feeling, not a gut squeezing burpy feeling. Removing his head from the lake he stopped to look at his deformed figure and froze, the water was moving but he didnt feel like he was?

First Experience

Remember when you where a Nameless/fawn? Remember when you didn't know anything about the forest, all you knew was that other deer were out there? Remember how excited you were when someone cast a spell of you, and then disappointed when it faded away? Remember when you made friends with new deer, danced and played?

On this blog, I want you to write your first experience on The Endless Forest. Not tell what happened write it as a story. Try to describe how happy or excited or even how upset or sad when you played the game. Write your first experience ever, when you first walked into the forest.

My first experience, under the cut~

Life Starts?....Or Death?



Chapter Two



A month has passed since the large buck came to Kurai, with the Sun no longer near blinding him, and the bucks pelt as black as night, he was finally able to catch the deers pelt colour. A midnight blue pelt, yellow markings forming in the shape of stars and his eyes, pure red, full of rage, and loyalty to the dark one known as Karanu. Since Kurai was picked up from the Buck, he hasnt started training yet, he was still to small and feeble, but he has leared a bit of the buck. Chi was his name, Chi, one of spilling blood and energy. Yet, though he has learned the bucks name, Chi refuses to speak of his past. His past as the Candle holder for the Dark ones, to light their way to victory in their devious plans.

Kurai, a young fawn of Greys and Whites, and now a bit of Peacock greens shining like silver on his back, slept the say away from high sun to dusk. As the sunset settled below the mountains of the land his mentor kept him so solitary in, the sky lit up with oranges, Purples, Blues, and Pinks. Not a cloud in site. As he slept peacefully the two month old fawn remained quiet. As Chi appeared into the land he had assigned his apprentice, he grunted to see him still sleeping. Lowering his large antlers he shoved them against Kurai. "Awaken!" He yelled, and with a jolt, Kurai flew up and looked around, his heart rushing like a raging river. "Darkness child my butt," he snorted and turned, "You dont even awaken when I ordered you to!" Shaking his head the large buck started off, expecting to be followed. Kurai gazed around, a bit dazed and slightly wounded, but he followed after anyway. "What are we doing today Chi?" He asked. Chi quickly turned and looked down onto the fawn, Kurai cringed at the glare, and the aura of disappointment glowing around the elder. "Rule one, you will /never/! Speak out of line!" He snapped.

If You Could Only See The Beast You Made Of Me...[Lacie]

...I held it in, but now it seems you've set it running free.



I suppose there are times where I must simply let go; to free myself from these chains, to surrender to instinct - to remind myself that I am, in fact, alive.

I suppose I am thankful that you’ve had a bit too much sugar today; we tear up the forest, you and I – never stopping for a single spot of rest. My eyes grasp the racing form in front of me that is you, brown sprinkled in white; you are an art form in motion, and I chase and I chase. I follow because I want to be with you – I chase because I want to hunt you, if only figuratively. I would never hurt you; you are far too precious to me – instinct can’t completely smother this heart of mine, now throbbing from the adrenaline, the lust, igniting my blood.

Don’t get the wrong idea; it is not you, per say, that I lust for. This is a lust born from a primal instinct; the lust for the thrill of chasing, reaching, grasping something. My blood is torrid in my veins, and I feel as if my body is searing with heat. I wonder if you feel the same; I can see the beads of sweat desperately clinging to your coat, only to fall as the wind strikes without mercy. I can see the way your muscles are rippling just under the skin; I can hear the reverberating in your chest as your breath escapes from your maws.

I can feel my lungs swelling and attenuating as I keep chasing, keep hunting. My heart is pulsating in my chest; it feels as if it’s about to burst from its cage. My tongue has but abandoned its spot tucked away in my mouth, choosing instead to hang out, trying to taste the air.

I once dreamt of this, you know. Though the one I chased was…different.

Leaving The Womb



Chapter One



It was exactly a year ago since my birth. A terrible unusual birth, or maybe some would call it death. Unlike you, I was not born from a womb, I was brought down and was placed in a grave, a solitary, dark, space that acted like a womb I'm at least guessing. The grave was heated like the insides of a pregnant doe, and yet, I wasn't cramped up. The grave was pitch black, a food source lines the edges. The food was to last for two months, that was my development stage. And everything changed....On that day, the day, of my birth.

Sunrise has started, beautiful reds, purples, pinks, and oranges stretched across the sky, the grass below was painted a beautiful glimmering Green lined in sliver reflecting dew drops. The morning was calm besides the birds in a small place for the graves of many deer. Going from beauty and wonder, one deer only saw pitch black, and felt nothing but the cob webs lining the walls of his sanctuary. Yet, his ears swerved around, something was outside, he gazed around the darkness he had gotten so used to, the heat only making sweat fall from his grey and white pelt. Suddenly a large screeching sound filled his ears and rays of death, or what he felt they were, cast down on him. Crying in pain at the feel of the sun beating on his pelt, and burning his eyes, something stepped forwards and shaded him. "Hush," a calming voice filled the fawn's ears and he squinted his eyes as he gazed up, his pelt wet from the grave called his womb. Reaching out the buck examined the fawn, for he was never sent to fetch a raven faced Fawn. "Your beak is quite....Different for me," he explained and turned. "If you are to survive, you must stand and climb out of your grave, rise! One of death!" The buck called out. The fawn paused, raven faced? One of death? His fur ruffling he shook the sweat and juices from his pelt before he struggled to stand.

Rooted (Bodhi Interaction)

Related to this

----------------------

The creature's eyes opened, brown eyes that almost seemed wooden. It's body was rooted into the ground, taking in water and nutrients from the very earth it slept upon. On it's moss-covered body were tiny orifices that let out gentle spores, those who landed on the ground created little mushrooms.

The mushrooms surrounded it, a tribute to the ground for the gifts it was given. It raised it's body, the roots growing on it's underbelly recoiling and entering back into it's body. The fungus on it's face was worn like a strange organic mask, growing past the face and fanning out like the rays of the Sun itself.

The creature had no recollection of who it was, what it's purpose was, if it had any family...there were only faint memories.

Laying on the ground, watching a large deer walk away...crying...

Closing it's eyes, feeling it's body slip away...

Then gentle roots raised up, they attached to it, gave it a way to live...

The creature was able to stand and walk for the first time, all alone, but always hearing voices. The land was speaking to it, telling it that things would be okay, giving it the body it had today.

The creature was neither male nor female. It simply was.

It had never interacted with others like it, so speaking would be strange to it. It has only understood the whispers of plants and trees, it has never spoken to another deer.

But it is kind, and would never harm another. It hoped to fill kindness and compassion to those it met.

The strange creature continued on in the new Forest, leaving the little mushrooms behind, being very careful not to step on the delicate little creations. It soon found a sleeping fawn, and sitting by it, the creature rooted and watched the other slumber politely. The spores were released, and as they gently floated to the ground, the tiny mushrooms grew on the fawn's dappled fur.
