The Trees Are Alive (Poem)

The trees are alive.
Do you see them living?
Watch them carefully as they sway in the wind.
And to the open and untrained eyes,
You would think they were moving on their own.
Understand that they really are, through time.

The trees are alive.
Do you hear them living?
They are always calling out
Their leaves rustling and disturbing the quiet.
And together they all create
A symphony with their voices.

The trees are alive.
Do you smell them living?
They are always giving us a gift,
And we give them that of our own.
Oxygen for Carbon Dioxide,
Human breaths for tree breaths.

The trees are alive.
Do you taste them living?
They willingly give away their work,
A vibrant variety of tastes for us all.
Sweet, bitter, tart, savory...
The trees are quite the culinary artists.

The trees are alive.
Do you feel them living?
They are always around us, much like guardians.
Let them know that you appreciate their life.
Press your hand on the bark of a tree,
And feel the pulse within - both yours and its.

Revelations - Anirapio

This is the first of three stories I will write as 'conclusions' for my Deadly Trio. These are set in the near future, so that means that this story will not affect other writings I may do of my Deadly Trio that are set present date. Anyway, enjoy Eye

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

"Listen, Nekumbra...", the dragon spoke, looking around. She had to make sure Iugulare wasn't around. The afternoon light in the Birch Forest provided enough cover for their conversation to go unnoticed. "I've wasted too much time on this planet, I have my own problem to deal with."

The spider doe tilted her head, "What? What is going on?", she asked.

Anirapio closed her eyes, and told Nekumbra the situation on her home planet, Ibuzon. She told her about the decreasing food, the extinctions, her species' unusually high metabolism...the whole deal.

"Oh my gods...why didn't you tell anyone about this before?", Nekumbra asked.

The dragon shook her head, "I don't know, I don't know! I thought Iugulare would help me with this, but she's been too busy trying to catch Quad...", then her eyes widened, "Wait, I have an idea." The dragon's face contorted in a way that made her look happier. "Quad's practically immortal, right? He comes back to life after he dies. I've seen this before. And Iugulare is obsessed with capturing him. So what if I took Quad back to Ibuzon with me? My brethren could hunt him down over and over, feeding off of him for generations until we find a better solution."

"How will we get him, and you, back to your planet?", Nekumbra asked.

"Easy. Just ask Iugulare. She was the one who figured it out.", Anirapio replied.

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

Iugulare met with them quickly, and the plan was set.

There is something... White {for 3lin}


Thump...


Thump...

Thump...

THUMP.


A white deer...

As white as the moon shine...

Dashes through the forest...

Donut is her name...

Speed is her game...

Running jumping everywhere...

Giving everyone a sniff...

The happy doe plays with all...

And goes on friendly whiff's...

She runs like the wind...

And shines like the moon...

Wondering... who will I play with today?

And running away.


A short one for 3linmaya :3 hope yer'like it ♥

Hunt Your Friends... (Non-TEF shortstory)

This is a gift to a friend of mine named Nala_91 from IT/FH, who plays a lioness in the game. Eye

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

She moved slowly, silently. Her body was in the shadows, she was well trained. He didn't see her, at least not yet.

The deer raised his head for a moment. What did he hear? Nothing...it was nothing...He continued eating, his ears still perked, his mind still slightly alert.

Nala considered all the possibilities. Would she charge directly and kill him without a chance to run, or would he spot her. Would she lead him toward the river where he'd slow down and be easier to capture there? If he ran, she would give chase, but she didn't know his speed. The deer was heavier, bulkier, than most others.

He's easy prey..., she thought to herself, and continued moving. She decided she would charge at him, he would be too slow for her.

Closer...closer...

Her heart was pounding so loud she thought he could hear it. She made sure she wouldn't step on anything that would give her away - she had to maneuver around twigs lying on the ground that would snap if she stepped on them. She was so close that his stench was much thicker. She gagged just slightly, the deer must have eaten something that made him smell worse than she thought.

He raised his head again. She kept still. Did he hear her? Should she spring at him now? Let him lower his head one more time, let him lower his guard...

The deer slowly lowered his head and ate one more strand of grass.

Nala pounced on him. She was much, much closer than he realized, her fur camouflaged her well in the surroundings. He wasn't expecting the lioness' attack, and without a chance to run he was tackled.

The lioness wrapped her mouth around his neck. The deer closed his eyes, letting out a surprised sigh.

"Tag.", Nala said under her breath.

"You're good.", Quad replied.

The First Signs (Poem)


I see the tiny four-petaled flowers growing in the grass, collectively creating blankets of pale violet.
I see the little red berries on the bushes, blending red and green together like natural artwork.
I see the black berries hang down from tree limbs like grapes, safe until the day they choose to drop.
I see small trees covered in closed buds, ready to burst into color and bring forth floral beauty.
I see the newborn pinecones upon the taller trees, still growing to be the tree they dream to be.
I see Winter losing it's deathly grasp, and the very first signs of Spring's growing life.
I see myself, one who has planted the seeds upon the dead land, and now I see the first sprouts.

A Malachite on a bed of Diamonds (for Vandettta)

A chunk of malachite sat in a place filled with cut and polished diamonds. The jagged green rock was different than the others, hiding when the diamonds rejected her. "You are ugly and vile!", the diamonds would cry, "Look at that hideous green color! You are not pure like us!" The diamonds' hardened exteriors cut into the malachite, scarring her. She was shunned and rebuked, her rough body cut deeply by the threatening diamonds.

And then one day, she managed to escape their torment. The broken stone now sat alone, away from the entitled diamonds. She finally was able to rest, though her mind was cluttered from their words and actions upon her. She began to tell herself that she was not wanted, unloved, ugly...

"Oh look at you!", another rock said nearby. The malachite did not realize that there was another there, a jagged chunk of amber. "What a beautiful stone you are!", the amber spoke.

"What? How could you say that? I'm a monster!", the malachite cried.

"Nonsense, who would ever say you were?", the amber asked.

"Well...the diamonds told me I was ugly and impure.", the malachite told him.

"You actually believe those diamonds? Listen, diamonds have been pressed so tough that they believe everything they say is true. They don't like any other stones and think that if you're not a diamond, you are imperfect or just wasted magma. The thing about diamonds is that they're never right - they don't accept anyone who isn't a diamond. In fact, they don't even accept who they really are.", the amber spoke.

"What do you mean by that?", the malachite asked him.

"Diamonds are merely hardened pencil lead.
