W hat little light there was that night in the Autumn air, reflected off of the pure pelt of a new arrival, a presence that had made himself known to Jettem over the course of a mere few days. Sleep did not come so easily to her as it did others. Even the feared Bylah of the Forest had been seen out of the corner of her eye with his head bowed against his rotting breast, the fire in his eyes dimmed to smoldering embers.
So she sat, waiting. His fur brushed against hers in his sleep, light mumblings coming from his lips as he dreamed on beneath her watchful stare. What few bugs and dirt she found in his pelt she pulled off him, a rare need inside herself taking shape with each time she did so.
The pelt must stay pure.
Just watching him sleep brought a peace of mind, a light thought, a humble action to her personal being. Where she had felt nothing, she felt now, as when with Nor. A tiny pull at her lips hinted at a smile but it was gone before anyone could tell. How funny, that she had come to be the Guardian of Sleep lately. Nor, Nine, occasionally Bylah (though sometimes she even doubted he ever slept) and more often now the strange deer of the Forest. They came, they sat and fell into slumber at her feet, as if being near her brought you to your knees for the deep need of rest, suddenly you felt fatigued and needed someone to watch out for you as you are pulled into the peaceful world of darkness. And it seemed Jettem was perfect for the job.
*New* (I wanted to change the name because I usually make my characters name according to my new "character" P.s. I draw so thats why XD)
Name: Arrow
Nickname: Ay (Air) or A.
Gender: Female
Age: 20 human years or young adult
Color: Blue with yellow dots+stripes
Family: None yet, but has a sister named Sherry (catwolf111)
Herd: Leader of: Whispering Creek
Info: As Arrow grew up, she began to yern something, and she really hasn't found out what it was. When she was 19, she and her sister decided to make a herd, but hadn't put much though into it. One year later they make a herd. Arrow decided the name because she knew the forest was mysterious and she wanted the name to be to. They hadn't made the herd even after they made the name, but they remembered to make it over time. After the two traveling, they began to complain a bit. They both split up for a while until they thought they needed to end their "vacation". A week later, Arrow had disapeared. Sherry disapeared to. Arrow and Sherry hadn't even remembered where they were at that time. When they myesteriously came back, it was mid winter. Arrow hadn't found a den, and Sherry didn't have time to collect food, so they both wandered in the cold, harsh forest. Arrow and Sherry finally decided to make the herd, and now they still travel together looking for new deer members.
Everytime I come on TEF, I see peoples amazing art & stories they write and that inspires me to write and draw my own. But when I post something, its either no comments or negative comments. I've had my share of 'Take it down' & 'Delete that character' so dont tell me what its like, okay? I bet if I could draw like Seenya or write like VCG does none of you would care. This community is so.. UUUGGHHH! I actually want to write 'I hate you all' but that would be wrong because all I really hate is this god damned community. Sue me. Its like, I try to fit in but then im pushed away or beaten out. What the hell? Do I not belong here or something? No, wait. I know what it is your all so elitist.
Hey, I've just returned to the forest after a really long hiatus and I just discovered that the icons won't spread. They're all bunched up at the bottom of my screen. I ran for ages towards them, but no deer appeared. Is there a new version of TEF that I don't know about or is there something else?
