Flight Without Wings

And Allah took a handful of southerly wind, blew His breath over it, and created the horse.... Thou shall fly without wings, and conquer without any sword. Oh, horse. ~Bedouin Legend

In the arms of an angel (continued)

The unfamiliar smell was sweet like fruit, and foresty like the lichen on the trees. I heard the hoof steps behind me now. I turned around quickly and stumbled a little but I caught myself just in time. Looking up I see the snowy white stag, who was suddenly worried, probably from my stumble. When he saw that I was fine he brought his perfect smile back, making me blush again. He stared at me while I looked speechless and started to say, "Hello, I remember seeing you last night from the pond." His voice floated through the air with a beautiful low ring and felt like silky velvet to my ears. I was even more speechless from his voice when his expression changed. He stared off far behind me, seeming to listen to the forest. When I finally gathered my thoughts back I said in a not so perfect voice, "Yeah, I remember." He asked me in his beautiful velvet voice, "What is your name?" Again in my not so perfect voice almost hoarse, "Stallanta." He stared at me almost in wonder and kept the conversation going, "My name is Hunter. Pleasure to meet you." I started to say "Yes, it was but-" He cut me off and said "Meet at the pond tonight." and walked away gracefully as if he were flying. Speechless again I thought to myself, I just met the most wonderful stag in the forest.

Finally I got home but i could not sleep. Thoughts of the beautiful stag still lingered in my mind, and I get to go spend time with him a few hours.





(Okay im stuck again about what happens next but I suppose you guys like this, I hope its not too bad)

In the arms of an angel (Well hooves i guess)

I was walking one night, in a forest that seemed so lonely but was filled with deer. I seemed to be the only one who doesn't have a true love. Seeing that everyone was settling down for the night I glanced over towards the pond. Standing there staring down at his snowy white reflection, was the most beautiful deer I have ever seen. His majestic antlers seemed to glitter gold in the moonlight. Suddenly he looked up at me. His eyes a pale blue seemed luminous in the moon staring directly at me. I felt myself starting to blush as I hurried off to my usual spot to sleep. I looked back to see if the beautiful stag was still there, but was gone almost as if he vanished in thin air.
I awoke the next day, remembering the sight of the stag. I got up and walked back over to the pond thinking maybe he could still be there. Seeing only two fawns playing ever so loudly and three stags talking casually I walk over to the pond to get a drink. Looking into the pond I see my own reflection, normal head decorated with pink flowers and pale green eyes, a pale white face, and a tan hide. Nothing nearly as beautiful as the stag i had seen last night. I hear snickering from the three stags, and I could tell they were talking about me. I sigh to myself and look up to them. The one on the right, a shabby gray with black antlers and chocolate brown eyes was holding back his laughter real hard. His name is Toby. The stag in the middle, Gary, a red hide with tan antlers and dark brown eyes said, "Watcha day dreaming about Stallanta?". Toby joined in chuckling in between words, "Yeah, we're scared your gonna fall in." and he fell to the ground laughing. "None of your concern." I said showing no humor. The stag on the left, who kept quiet, was younger but better mannered just stood there. His name was Ted. Ted had a muddy brown hide with tanish antlers and had oddly blue eyes that seemed to fit him just fine.

[=10]They were stood, face to face, gazes locked together, and Jareth was still holding her shoulders. He dropped his arms back to his sides and stepped back, eyes wide in shock at what he'd done. Chime's eyes, brown and red blended together, were wide too, her mouth falling half-open in surprise and confusion.
"Jareth, what's wrong?" She gazed at him pleadingly, begging for an answer, a reason as to why the king was being so cold and emotionless and unfeeling. He whipped around, and before he had any idea of what he was doing and what the consequences could be, his gloved hands were gripping her shoulders and pulling her to him, almost crushing her to his chest as his mouth locked onto hers. But despite the ferociousity with which he held her, the kiss was gentle and chaste and sweet and there was emotion in there, raw emotion that he'd been keeping back for longer than he'd thought. And then he pulled back, shaking.
He couldn't hold his gaze; mismatched pupils darted away and fixed on a leaf twirling near Chime. It was a...mistletoe leaf? He stared for a moment, fully aware that Chime was still staring at him in disbelief. The leaf was indeed a mistletoe leaf as were the others, and they were sparkling.
Well, wasn't that a nice piece of symbolism right there.
"Jareth, wh..." The golden-brown haired woman started, but stopped, apparently unable to form the right words. The king turned his head slowly to look at her, dreading what was to come and knowing what it would be.
You have no power over me you have no power over me
"Jareth, what...what was that?" Her voice was trembling, as were her hands, but it was barely noticeable. It was sick, that he knew her, the way she spoke and moved, so well. "What..."
He inhaled slowly, letting out his breath in a long, drawn-out sigh. He tried to turn his heart to stone, to wrap it in ice, and never let her touch it, never again. But his attempts were futile, and he knew it. He knew it all too well.

My inspiration

'Unzip'

Zrrrrrrip
It’s a crisp metallic sounds, not one in itself ultimately scary, but I suppose it’s the chittering that gets most of them. Most people think they’re silent you see, just because they’re so small they don’t make noise. Not true, not true in the slightest. Not if you get enough of them together anyway. Even then, it’s not the buzz of flies or the drone of wasps, nope, they’ve got an appeal all their own you see.

I remember when I met my first spider. It…well it was so long ago I don’t quite remember when it was, but I do figure I must have been fairly freshly dead. She was big and bloated, dragging her abdomen around like an overstuffed sack behind her. She’d labour this way and that, eight slender legs shaking with the effort. Bending my head down for a closer look I could see on her back were clusters of eggs, spongy little black blobs, like jelly. The poor soon to be mother was obviously looking for a safe place for her nest… well, I thought to myself, I know the perfect place!

Now I’ve got a whole family of them spinning round in my head, brothers and sisters, aunts, uncles, cousins. Sometimes it gets a little crowded, so I let them out for a little run-around, let them blow off some steam. I could show you if you want? No-no really it’s no trouble at all, they’d absolutely love to meet you…

Dream Catcher [2-way challenge]

“Running with friends…”
“Finding a mate…”
“Leaving the forest…”
“Growing up…”
“Being a fawn again..”
“Boring Boring Boring! It is the same over and over! Bah. How could one be expected to sustain himself on the repetitive dreams of this place?!”


Draum pawed the ground impatiently and stormed away from the slumbering deer of the forest. He had started a collection of dreams but after merely a few weeks it was becoming short lived. Not one deer in the forest had a unique thought in their head. He had preyed upon them while they slumbered and expertly drew out their dream scapes for his own viewing pleasure.

At first it was exhilarating to become one with the sleeping deer and a part of the dream but it had since become monotonous. At times he flirted with the idea of experiencing one of the troubled’s dreams, but his own uncertainty held him back. How could he risk injury or damage to snatch the dreams of one who can’t even sit still and rest easy themselves? Maybe in another day or year, but for now he stayed clear of those who kicked and screamed in what is supposed to be restful slumber.

He raised his head to the sky and inhaled deeply. The night was still young, but he was already tiring of the usual members of the forest’s community. He needed something new, something fresh, something..different. It did not take long for the unrecognizable scent to drift past.

A Nameless was in the forest. He lowered his stature and crept for the new visitor to the forest. Everyone has seen them at some point. The bare and unassuming visitors who bound around the forest like children. They were unconcerned with the notions of the forest. They did not care about playing with friends, or growing up. Merely tourists to the place so many called home. Draum slipped closer and stood over his quarry. It was almost unheard of to see one sleeping.

[=10]        It was rare for a December night to be so free of clouds slaving over the lights in the sky that one young adult was taking an extreme fancy towards, but the sky had finally appeared this way: ebony as ink with uncovered miles of stars. A thoughtful sigh misted away into the air before wetting his lips.
        “Where do you think heaven is?” Code’s question, although quiet, seemed to lie on the tip of Gabe’s nose as he squinted towards its English wording. He knew his companion was absolutely distinguishable from the world’s people for numerous reasons--the main being his wielding abilities, but his curious way of thinking was just as vital a role in his personification--yet his uniqueness was something that he would never get used to. It was a state of mind he couldn’t enter and enjoy with him being on the outside looking in as he was.
        Gabriel wasn’t even entirely a homo sapien. At the moment, he was gray-hued with arms as literally tight and durable as stone, making his striking blue eyes look like jewels embedded into his god-like, chiseled face. Had Code never learned the inspiring way that he was a gargoyle he’d have mistaken him for Michelangelo’s David made with a darker material and wings long ago. Truthfully, the Lithuanian was jealous of such a complexion.
        The transformed male sat up after taking his ear bud out that he’d been sharing with Code. Taking in the sudden silence of the band in his ear not playing helped him think--especially with the distant whisper of traffic and the sight of streetlights flickering on.
