It was raining,hard.Natali strolled over to The Pond to take a sip and admire the rain hitting the water.It was somehow peaceful to her.Then she went over to the Old Oak.She was wet and cold and needed some rest.Inside she went to the farthest corner where it was most dry and warm and sat down looking at the rain hitting everything else but not her.She curled up in a little ball and fell fast asleep.

"Good morning Natali."Natali opened her eyes.It was morning and there was no more rain.Yet there wasn't anything else either.It was all black but her and the two deer standing in front of her."Hello...um what do you guys want?"She asked her parents.She no longer thought of them as her parents,they were only her biological ones not ones that cared about her or anything about her."Well we were wondering if you were a adult yet.Looks like your still just a fawn.Hmm well goodbye then see you once you grow up!"Her biological mom said then Natali opened her eyes for real this time.

It wasn't morning yet,and it was still raining and still very cold."I wonder what they want from me...and why they want me to be an adult?It's not like they care about my birthday or anything.."She thought as she watched the dark grey clouds outside from the nice dry warmness inside the Old Oak.

[=red]
I awoke from the shelter of the Ruins,
Raindrops on my snout.
Looking to the dark sky,
I realized that it was a particular day...

There was an odd feel to the day.
That I should be mourning,
The loss of a loved one...
And the sadness of a country far away...

But I stood, shook the rain off of my fur,
And walked out of the place to find others waiting.
They were sitting around Run's memorial,
All there for the same purpose.

I joined them, and sent my prayers to the sky.
The rain seemed to cleanse my thoughts,
And purified that which I prayed for.
I saw the others doing the same...

Soon a few became many.
Nearly the entire Forest was here,
Sitting, standing, occasionally dancing.
Some knew what this was, others didn't.

But it didn't matter today.
They came, they sat, they stood, they danced.
For this day, we were all finding peace.
Rivalries and grudges did not matter this day.

Young fawns, majestic stags, lovely does, old ones...
Green, red, blue, white, black, orange, brown...
It did not matter who we were or what we believed in.
We were all here together, all for one purpose.

The sky wept today to wash away our burdens,
So we could open our eyes and consider others,
Those who were suffering much more than we were,
And those who had left us from this world.

I looked to all of them sitting here,
Watched their eyes as they nodded to me.
And in this moment, I discovered a hidden gem.
We really have it all, together.

This day, it did not matter who we were or where we came from.
It did not matter what we looked like or what we thought.
All that mattered was the unity and fellowship we offered.
We truly were one big family, each and every one of us.





This day, I woke up thinking I would mourn and be full of sorrow,
But I found so

I encountered other deer today. They seemed intrigued by my presence near the Statues however they did little to disrupt me. Perhaps it is the calming influence of the Gods that affects them in this way. It was very much welcome. I did not wish to intrude on their prayers and they did not intrude on my thoughts. They were all very unique and courteous although I was too lost in my thoughts to notice them to some extent.

Under cut. (:

-coming soon...once he becomes a stag

People kind who can give Maaia a skin a skeleton and candles?

Somebody cast a spell on Samorn and I exited without restoring my pelt, which apparently saves it as my set. I'd seen other people asking for help but they directed me to a tutorial on how to do it yourself and so I figured I'd skip it and just use my laptop.

[=10]I'd say 'yeah guys, I'm drifting', but honestly I've been drifting for the past two years. It's so difficult to keep up now. It gets harder and harder to keep my interest in TEF. I still adore the game itself, but I just...it's the community that gets me. Don't get me wrong - I love quite a few of you. I even respect some of you. But the people that used to really keep me here are gone - or in some cases, we've just stopped talking.

There are so few reasons I stay here. One is because I hold onto the illusion that one day I'll actually make a character and stay with it, hold people's interests for more than a minute. Stairway and The Keeper were successful - up until I lost interest in them, because the story 'no quarter' pretty much flopped. Really - I go to the effort of writing a five-part story, making up background and character, and I get so very little in return. I know plenty of people have that problem here, and it sucks, I know. Here, you don't get feedback on your writing, and often even your artwork, unless you make a blog complaining about it like I did a while back. And that, too, sucks. It makes you feel like an attention whore. It might even make you look like one, even if that's not true.

I like Moksha as a character. I find his concept interesting. I find that writing him is far from being a mundane process. I enjoy his ability to make friends inforest. I find him to be a good character, all in all.

What I am afraid of is keeping him here. Quite a few of my most precious characters are rotting here - Taliene, Rutilus, Jared, even Lorak. Rutilus is my ultimate pride and joy, and I always hope that he'll become known again like he used to be, but I am so very, very tired of holding onto that thought. I want him to move on and do other things, and he is doing so. I don't want Moksha to rot here like countless other characters of mine.

I miss the community. I miss being unafraid to post on it.

Hello all, I'll make this short. Mom figured out that I was talking to somebody I don't know irl, and took my laptop. I don't know how long I'll be gone. But I may come on TEFc with my phone.
Toodles.~

Edit: Well, I got my laptop back for some hard house-work. Haha. But I have to remove everyone from TEF from my MSN and Skype. Feel free to E-mail me if there's anything!
