A Lost Heritage

The Streamflare Elkrin are creatures who are known for manipulating the sun's rays and capturing a little bit of it's magic in their stream-like markings. It is thought that these Elkrin were created by stray Emberfell Elkrin who escaped the harsh dunes and adapted to the worlds many environments. They are considered nomads and have even been accepted into the traveling gypsies caravans to pull the colorful carts and are treated like members of the family. A tamed Streamflare is sociable with others and accepting of new people. But the still wilds ones who travel far across Eldemore's land are weary of people and will move to a new location whenever it is sighted. They are very adaptable and hardy creatures, ranging from mountainous regions to vast plains, this is what makes them so hard to find to begin with. Perhaps you were one of the few who glimpsed this elusive creature on your own travels? Or perhaps you found this stag while coming across one of the gypsy caravans? Either way, none can mistake the Streamflare, for when they run it is told that a golden light explodes from their hooves like fire and they are forever catching the sun's rays before it drifts over the horizon. Perhaps the tales are true when they say this Elkrin is a descendant of the great Emberfells.

I was trudging through a snow-covered pine forest, high in the mountains. A rune would make my journey sooooo much easier, but I had yet to find a good companion. The wild runes were mostly pretty friendly for wild creatures, but still, I couldn't rely on that. I needed a good traveling companion, and I had my mind set on an Elkrin. Some villagers down the mountain had reported seeing oddly warm and cheering golden flames in their forest, and the occasional antler or tail. It sounded like an Elkrin, and I had set my mind to catching it.
The snow was cold, and the forest was huge. My breath froze in a cloud in front of me. I might be crazy, doing this, but I was pretty desparate by now to get a good traveling companion. I stopped occasionally to listen, and all I heard was the pine needles shifting in the wind, or the occasional bird. I was about to give up and go sliding down a mountain cliff or something, when I felt a warm breeze. I quickly held my breath, and moved slowly forward. A large and majestic Streamflare Elkrin stood in the trees, ears pricked. It must have heard me, because it froze, looked around, and bolted away, leaving a trail of golden flame-like light.
I groaned both on the inside and outside. This was my unlucky day it seemed, I wanted to give up and get to the nearest village and get some hot coffee or tea. However, it seemed that I would be having my lunch here, in the middle of a snowy, glittery pine forest. I sighed, then found myself a fairly dry rock, some tinder and wood, and got to work coaxing a fire from the wood. I took the small amount of food that I had from inside my bag, and went about cooking them. Of course, cooking takes time, and I soon got quite bored. Wait, that's an understament. I was bored out of my mind. Seeking something to do, I took a fallen stick and began to draw the Streamflare Elkrin in the snow. When I finished, I took out my journal, sketched a picture, and began recording my observations. I really liked that Elkrin, that was for sure!
After a while, I noticed a warm breeze ruffling my hair. I looked up, just to come face-to-face with the Streamflare Elkrin. I jumped back in surprise, my eyes wide in shock. The Elkrin stumbled back a few steps, wearing an identical expression. Then, it gave me a Are you crazy? look. We kept making faces at each-other for quite a while, and you definitely don't want me to describe THAT.
After a while the Elkrin snorted, then almost burst out laughing. Well, it was hard to tell, but he looked like he was at least grinning... Then, he poked my pencil, and sat down beside my notebook, turning the pages with his nose. He looked like he was READING my notebook! Well, the world of Eldamore was certainly an intresting one, I'll give you that, these Elkrin were pretty smart. Or the one in front of me was at least.
"You like to read huh?" I murmered as I crouched down beside the stag. It stared at me, then took the pencil in it's mouth and started writing in the snow.
"Hey don't you dare drool on that! It's older than you, you know!" I accually had no idea how old the Elkrin was. I just knew my pencil was pretty old. I have intresting thoughts huh? Anyways, the stag was finished writing in the snow, and looked at me whitish HUGE eyes. The writing said: Yeah. And write and draw. I don't get many chances to do any of those though...
"Well, I can help you with that..." I muttered. The stag pricked his ears, cocked his head, and peered at me hopefully. Then, he used his tail to wipe the writing off the snow, with a few lumps and bumps here and there of course.
"Well, do you have a name?" I asked. I felt a bit silly, yet full of hope. This guy seemed like my kinda guy! The stag wrote in the snow: Yes, my name is Arun. That's how I think you spell it at least
Well, this may sound kinda cheesy but: From then on out, Arun and I have been together. He's funny, warm-hearted, and brave. I could never ask for a better friend!

Name:

Aarn
{Ah-arn}
A variation of Aaron, meaning 'light-bringer'

Breedable:

Yes, but only to the brightest doe around.

Short Story:

It was around noon when I saw them. A procession of plain wooden caravans adorned with brightly colored fabrics that were embroidered with the most beautiful designs. I managed to catch up to them, but it was difficult even on my horse. For such boxy objects, they moved through the desert at a surprising speed. Puffing out my request to see their trade, I was surrounded by a band of seven dark-skinned natives. Three of the women had wreathing designs tattooed on their face, I was quite intrigued by these markings but kept my tongue as they pulled out a bunch of silks from one of the middle caravans.

I looked through them all, but the one that caught my attention was a deep blue silk depicting a golden creature that resembled the deer of my homeland. Intrigued, I asked the owner of the silk what the animal was. I got a vague answer, making my curious nature abound. I paid for the silk and was about to leave when a shout ran through the line. The dust was stirred up as a very large creature stampeded towards me, followed by a screeching band of the natives. When the large creature stopped I thought I was going to faint - it was the creature in the silk! It looked at me with a pair of liquid brown eyes, and I felt its plight.

"See here, Ahanizoni." I said angrily, feeling a strange kinship with the deerlike animal.

"What's the meaning of this?"

"Now now, this Elkrin belongs to us!" Their leader said, the worried expression on his face convinced my this animal was of value.

Don't be so upset. He's just trying to train me. I won't be broken, though; made to pull one of their disgusting caravans. A voice said haughtily in my head, and my shocked expression must have revealed it to the gypsies.

Sighing, the leader signaled to the others to leave.

Huh. I thought they'd pick a fight. The voice mused before falling silent. I turned to the Elkrin, a pinched look on my face.

Well, I think it's about time we got out of here. He said, showing me a mental image of myself perched on his mighty back.

"Are you sure it's safe?" I doubted, which was met by a low chuckle of laughter from him.

I promise I won't let you fall. The Elkrin replied. Well, I didn't need a second invitation. I swung my leg over his furry back and hopped on. Looking around, I realized the gypsies had disappeared along with my horse.

You don't need the horse anyway. You've got me. The Elkrin reminded before taking off. I felt my skin tingle and watched in amazement as tattoos appeared along the lengths of my arms in a shimmering golden color.

"Wow." I said. And this was only the beginning.

:Form:

Name:

Aidanecon
For this beauty's name, I just couldn't decide between two, Aidan, meaning little fire, or Econ, meaning strong. They began to melt like caramel in my mind, forming a single, elegant name; Aidanecon. Because of this forming of names, I guess you could say his name is unique, and means strong little fire. His heart may only be a flame of small proportion, but it is strong and shall never flicker, and never die out, it will always fight for survival.

Breedable:

Yes

Name: DracosCanine

Eos (ee-oh-ss) "Dawn"

Breedable:

Totally up to him. Maybe he'll find a nice doe he likes <3

Short Story:


"Are you absolutely sure they went this way?", Drake grumbled, leaning back on feather soft crimson mane. Rikiel gave something of a snort, rolling his eyes at the girl. "Like i've told you many times already, Yes. I'm sure". There was a long moment of silence between the two. Only the light whisper of the trees and wind spoke as the large Ancient walked, his Lady basking comfortably on his shoulders, streams of pale moon light poking through the branches. They had been traveling for days, but to these two immortal beings, it was only a few hours.
"I still can't believe Armani ran off like that...Enyo really got to her this time..". The girl's face took on a more serious feature, her sharp green eyes staring off into the distance. Riki, as he was mostly known, nodded as a response. "I agree. To say such a thing to your own hatchling is unnecessary.", The rune rumbled, the slight chiming of the rings on his ear mixing with his baritone voice. She sighed heavily, leaning her head against her jewel's neck, reminiscing in old memories.
The pair traveled like this for a another 3 hours, passing time with enjoying each others company as they always have, when a soft glow pierced through the brush. "What is that...?" Drake's eyes squinted a bit, somewhat confused. She clambered off of Riki's shoulders and silently jogged to the opening, making her partner nervous. "Drake! Be careful! We don't know what it is.", the dragon harshly whispered, gliding up next to the girl. They stared out into a dark open field, dotted with fireflies. But it was the brightest of lights that caught their eye. It danced and sprang amongst the glowing dots, leaping over tulips and daisies in graceful splendor. Drake could only watch in fascination as the light bounded through the grass. Her keen eyes saw the form of a what looked like a large stag, bright glowing lights streaming through his chocolate fur. A large smile grew on Riki's face, "Ahhh. It seems we have been blessed with the sight of a Beast of Old. An Elkrin.""An 'Elkrin'...", Drake repeated, her amazed eyes giving off their own faint green glow. "He's beautiful..."

Not very good at stories but i'm gonna draw him. Cant resist >3
