One Last Battle (CONCLUDED)

"The old man, the old man, he dies, he dies tonight~ Why not sooner, why not sooner? Oh! Oh! He'll die toooooniiiiight~"

A massive stag staggers along on a path to the ruins, each movement seeming to contort and twist his grotesque image further and further. His face is covered by a white skull, not marked with blue paint, but with blood filled veins which loop threw his eyeholes and the mask's mouth. On the left side of his face, three red eyes could be seen, and on the right side, one empty eye socket exists to spew blue flame. Massive antlers stretch out for the night sky, like many dead and skeletal hands, each with five grotesque fingers. Behind him, a long serpent of a tail writhes like a beast all its own, leading to a massive hand, which snaps its fingers behind its body.

"Kill, kill, kill the old, the old the old. I'll be the reaper, the reaper is me~" he sings, twisting between trees and nearly dancing as he staggers along to his own song. He begins to fall into a wild fit of laughter, effectively leaving him to collapse onto his side in mania. "The blood I'll SPILL, his blood I'll SPILL." he roars, giggling like some kind of child afterwards.


At the ruins, the six eyed grave keeper tiredly works at digging a new grave. His shackles clatter and clank with every digging movement, thick metal cutting into his forelocks with every movement, letting blood drip steadily out of his fetlocks. He turns his head away from the grave after a moment, and glances around. His long ears twitch uncomfortably, picking up odd sounds on the wind. "Hnn... That should be enough." he grunts to himself, and walks away from the upturned soil. With only a few paces, he reaches the gravesite of his beloved, and sits protectively beside it. "There is... evil in the air... Lagho." he rasps, looking wearily at the grave beside himself.

"Nothing more I can do..."

"I am Doctor Munchausen. Call me Doctor, call me Dok, I care not. I am here to look into your mind and fix what is broken. Speak up girl! Tell me why you are here so I may cure you and be done with it! I have no time for foolish games!"


The young girl looked up timidly as the tall doctor paced the small room. He was agitated today, refusing to settle into his chair as usual and let her do all the talking. Instead he prowled the room, anxious to be somewhere, anywhere but here with her. The worst was that he did not shout, his voice rose barely above speaking tones, but somehow the coldness in it could pierce the silence as sharply as if he had bellowed at her.

Before he could begin the words that she knew were on the way, she spoke in a voice that itself was barely a whisper.


"I'm here for my appointment Doctor...my parents send me to you so that you might cure me of the dark thoughts that make me hurt myself."


Abruptly the Dok stopped pacing and sat down heavily into the white leather chair that was the throne of his kingdom. His sharp blue eyes narrowed and he seemed to be peering through rather than at her face. Softly he spoke.


"Go on and show me your arms then girl, so that I can tell if you are lying. Have you hurt yourself this week?"


Anyone listening at the office door would have thought they heard a tone of gentleness, almost compassion in the Doctor's voice at that statement. The girl however knew different, she could see his eyes and the coldness that lay there, unfettered by the usual human feelings of pity and concern. Shaking slightly, she rolled back the sleeves of her shirt and turned her arms over to show him the soft undersides.

From her wrist to her elbow, new bandages covered her arms, the faint stains of blood beginning to show through in long lines. The Doctor looked at them dispassionately and tears began to stand out in the young girl's eyes.

Just some news

i went on a camping trip to idaho national forest for fourth of July. It was soooo much fun! On one of the forest trails that led to the hotsprings, I saw a couple of deer. i didn't tell anyone because I was afraid they would tell my little brother and sister and they would start screaming out," I saw a deer! I saw a deer!" I wanted to have the longest glimpse at that awsome creature. In fact once I saw them, it reminded me of the endless forest. I just love deer with human faces, especially the fawns. They r soooooooo cute! I just love to draw them too. WELL...I guess I got a little carried away about how much I love deer now. Speaking of which, besides the deer, I also got to see some ground squirrels or chipmunks. They were the friendliest wild animals I've ever met in my entire life. they would walk right up to you, even if you didn't have food. If you did have food, they would let you pet them. the baby ones wouldn't let you pet them as much as the adults did, but they were the cutest. sometimes they would nibble you fingers when they got to have some food you had. it was the cutest thing I have ever seen, and I'm not joking, they were some cute little buggers! It was the campsite in idaho's national forest. Maybe you should look it up and go sometime. its loads of fun.

The Spider and the Fly

[Long story ahead! Click for more.]

Keme
Dedicated to Jorogumo, the forest's resident Lady Spider and Keme's adopted mother.

He is sitting on the tallest rock in the playground, observing his surroundings. The forest is quiet today; the silence is almost deafening, he thinks, with a half-smile. The feathers on the crow mask on his face flutter as a light wind stirs, the golden pelt ruffling along with it. Keme raises his head, having caught a sudden scent on the wind. He turns to find a deer there.
"Good day..." He greets, rather awkwardly. His social skills had never been up to par.
"...Would you...care to hear a story?" The deer nods in acquiescence, and he sits down comfortably, beginning in a quiet voice.
"The story of the Spider and her Fly. Dedicated to our resident spider..." A smile.

She was given the name...[Origins]


She was given the name Addfwyn and she was not born in the forest.
Like many she found herself there and seemed to accept this fact without complaint.

It was not as much a name as a hope left by her parents on the day of her birth.
Quiet, meek, complacent, and obedient were personality traits prided by her parents.

The village, on the other hand, put more stock in a gal's ability to lift a sow over her shoulders. The young men were sent to fight a never-ending war and the daughters stepped in to pick up the slack.

tearing down curtains, isn't she pretty
run round the ballroom, see how she moves
I watch her heart beating, in a frame that's so fragile
I feel the warmth leaving her skin

Any artists out there...

Who would be up for drawing one of those story blogs for me?
The next bit in the 'Father' story, but don't worry, it'd only be 1 of them.
The next, possibly final one, would be back to text. I thought it might be nice to see a change it it though~

The only reward I can think of is if you have a wolf or feline character, I could do a coloured pic of them?
I'm really inexperienced with deer. Examples can be seen on my deviantart account.

:U?

What Have You Become?

I have not always walked alone. There was once a time I knew the joy of company and of love, but as my days pass me by I wonder if it was all but a dream. This world could do that to you, drifting about inner desires you wish to share with no other soul before everyone to be mocked. It is because of that I have withdrawn farther into myself, each beat of my heart pounding it deeper and deeper into the caverns to never be found again. Has it been tucked so far away I will forget everything it brought to me? Maybe it is all just a dream for each time I awaken I find myself sifting into the coldness I know best.

The Flower Diaries; Chapter 13

He does believe his leg is broken...

The day had started out very nice, the sun, soft ad warm over his blue coat, the plants upon his antlers soaking it up.
