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.

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.

Return to Nature - Story VI

Return to Nature Index

Your days have been much better since the last time you visited the world where your deer lives. You've relaxed for the afternoon and begin to close your eyes, opening them and finding yourself in a dark place, though not as dark as you have been to before. There are no lights around like before, but you do notice that you are in a wooded area. Your eyes adjust to the darkness, and now you are able to see where you are.

The place is not illuminated but the sky seems to be glowing. You look to it, noticing a vast array of stars before you, and other colors that seem to fluctuate through the sky.

"Have you ever seen an aurora before?", you hear a familiar voice ask. You turn to see your deer there, their eyes are wide and dark but their face seems to glow with their pictogram. You shake your head in reply. The deer smiles, "Come with me."

You follow them as they move through the dark woods. They seem to know where to go, so you feel very safe with them despite your surroundings. "It's not far.", they say as they keep walking.

At one point you find a clearing from the trees. The two of you keep going out into an open area, and your deer stops, "Now watch it.", they say. You look to the sky, and are in sheer awe as the colors of the aurora drape over the stars like a great blanket in the sky. It will be one of your most memorable visits to this place.

Your deer seems to enjoy it, too. "Though I may never understand why the night sky glows like this, it never ceases to fill my spirit with wonder.", they say. You nod in agreement. When you two have had your fill of the sight, you continue with your deer, who has walked off a little ways.

The deer brings you to a place that seems very familiar, and you hear running water with each step - you then spot the deer fountain where you first met them!

"This is the meadow!", you say to them.
