A Rarity Among Rares

To see a Royal Elkrin among any of these elegant beasts is a rarity of it's own. But to see two Royal Whites that are twins is unheard of! This is has never been document before and even though this is certainly during a time of merriment, it is still quite a sight to see. A Royal White doe was last documented 200 years ago before the great extinction of it's kind. It seems that the Royal's genes have been passed down through these two siblings who bear snow white pelts and the purest of hearts. This little female has golden hooves and glistening golden streaks within her coat to proclaim her right to her royal blood. Her golden eyes can look deeply into the soul of any whom may come upon her. These two will need to be taken great care of and watched closely. Any Royal, be it crimson, white, or blue, are precious to the Elkrin species and it means that the Elkrins are starting to make a come back now that the Royals have begun to emerge once more.

:Form:

Name:

Fènghuáng

The name Fènghuáng translates to phoenix in Chinese. I choose this name because it can relate to the sun and the phoenix is also a symbol of rebirth. This suits the royal white fawn because her birth is the dawn of a new age of elkrins coming back from the brink of extinction, giving all elkrin a ray of hope.
Also the phoenix is the symbol for the Empress while the dragon is the symbol for the Emperor which is why the word for Empress is called Huánghòu.

Short Story:

“I’m so bored…there’s no one to play with…,” sighed the young crimson and gold elkrin fawn. His stormy blue eyes focused on a pebble he’d been kicking around for the last few minutes. For a moment he stared wondering what game he could create for himself with only a mere pebble, but nothing came to the young fawn’s mind. Giving up, he continued deeper into the forest regardless of his mother’s warning in hopes to find something amusing.
“I wish dad would be around more...he promised to play with me but…,” Fujin trailed off, realizing it would be selfish to ask his parents to play with him.
His mother Fallen, the cunning shadowmancer elkrin had recently become pregnant which caused Fujin’s father Razbunare, a proud crimson war ekrin to become overprotective of the pregnant doe. In a way Fujin was happy, after all he will soon have a new sibling to play with! The only problem was he wanted someone to play with now. Not to mention the baby would be too small to play with.
After a while of wandering around aimlessly Fujin came across a clearing and to his surprise a white and gold female fawn seemed to be lying on the ground staring up at the sky.
“Maybe she might be willing to play tag with me?” Fujin thought.
Approaching the white and gold fawn from behind, Fujin asks her “What are you staring at?” The sudden question caused the fawn to gasp in surprise.
Fujin snickers as the fawn jumped up and looked at him like an elkrin in front of a leone. The fawn frowned at Fujin and snaps out “Haven’t you ever heard of not sneaking up on others? You scared me half to death!”
Fujin innocently smiles at her. “I’m sorry; I didn’t mean to scare you…I just you know. I was wondering what you were staring at.”
The fawn sighs, calming down. She looks down at her golden hooves, and mumbles shyly “I was…watching the clouds.”
Fujin snorts and without thinking says “Well that’s boring! There are so many better things to do then to watch stupid clouds!”
The fawn blushes out of embarrassment. She again snaps at the crimson fawn “Well then, I guess I should go do my boring things elsewhere!” Without much thought besides to get away from the insensitive male, the fawn raced off towards the forest.
“Hey! Wait!” Fujin called out to the fawn, regretting what he said. He didn’t mean to sound rude, truthfully he just wanted to make friends with her but he just didn’t know how. It is after all his first time meeting another fawn.
Fujin races after the white doe while running he notices it will be dark soon. His mother told him the forests of Eldemore can be dangerous at night, especially for young elkrins. Luckily Fujin easily spotted the fawn due to her light colored fur contrasting with the shadows of the forest.
Panting a bit Fujin slowly approaches her and says “Please don’t run, look I’m sorry for being a jerk…I just wanted to see if you wanted to play tag with me! I don’t really have any friends to play with…”
The fawn looked at him skeptically, refusing to speak. Fujin sighs and says “All right…you leave me with no choice.” Suddenly in a dramatic tone Fujin tells the fawn “Oh how I’ve been so blind to see thy amazingness! I’m pale in comparison! Oh please forgive this lowly fawn for crossing thy fair maiden!” He bows but ends up tripping over a tree root with a grunt.
The fawn not being able to hold in her giggles any longer starts laughing at the display, causing Fujin to grin and get up. On his hind legs he attempts to bow, only to fall backwards onto his back with his legs sticking in the air.
The fawn goes over to Fujin and asks in between her giggles “Are you alright?” Getting back on his legs, Fujin smiles and nods at the fawn.

“Ya I’m alright…so uuum, can we be friends now?” Fujin tilts his head asking the fawn.
The fawn nods and says cheerfully “Yup, since you asked nicely! Sorry for being so moody earlier.”
Fujin shakes his head and says “No no, it was my fault. I don’t blame you for getting upset and…” He looked up at the sky noticing how much darker it appeared now, “We should get going, want to come with me to be with my family if you can’t get home in time?” The fawn stare at him with sad eyes, “I don’t …kind of… not have a place to go home to,” she whispered timidly. Raising his ears in surprise, “Well, uuum. You can stay with us as your new home!”
The fawn didn’t have parents or anyone besides her twin brother who had left her for his new rider, gave a nod to Fujin, “If your parents don’t mind, sure.”
With a smile Fujin assures her “They would be happy to have you around.”
Both elkrin quickly raced each other to the safety of Fujin’s home. Upon arriving Fujin meets with his mother looking extremely worried, just when Fallen was about to scold the young fawn she notices the white fawn shyly hiding behind Fujin.
Fallen smiles brightly and asks “My, my, I wasn’t expecting for you to bring girls back home at this age! Are you a friend of Fujin’s? I wasn’t expecting for him to get a friend any time soon. Oh, by the way I’m his mother.” Fallen gives Fujin a playful wink the moment he frowned at his mother’s choice of words.
The white fawn nods shyly yes, now learning Fujin’s name at least.
Fallen tilts her head in curiously and asks the fawn “Someone as pretty as you must have a name, right little one?”
The white fawn shakes her head and mumbles a sad “No…”
Fallen smiles slyly at the fawn and says “Alright, stay here. I’ll be right back.” With her disappearing into the shadows and returned a few seconds later with a young women who had half her face hidden by the hood of her cloak. Leaning to closer to Fujin, Fallen whispered, “How do you think I snuck away from your father?” Giggling at that Fujin focused his attention back to his mother’s rider.
Fujin smiles at the white fawn and says “Don’t worry. She’s one of the people who’ve been taking care of us and plus she’s mama’s rider. I think she wants to see if you’ll accept her. Then I think she’ll give a name?”
The white fawn looks at the cloaked women and steps forward, allowing the women to lightly pet her. The sensation of belonging came flowed through the white fawns mind. The women sensing it too then whispered to the white fawn, “Fenghuang.” The white fawn, now named Fenghuang looked at the women gratefully, now she had a name of her own and a family. The caring, mysterious women then turned around and walked back into the shadows of the forest.
Fujin grinned at Fenghuang and asks coyly, “Since now you have a name and you’re staying with us…we’re going to be best friends now, right?”
Fenghuang giggles happily at the male fawn and cheers out “Yes! The bestest best of friends!”
Fujin laughs along with her and adds “Ya! No, one can be better friends than us! But…”
He looks at straight at Fenghuang and with a playful wink he says, “I’m going to call you Feng as a nickname. Fenghuang is a mouthful.”
Fenghuang grinned back at him and nods in agreement.
This was the first day of a long and grand friendship.

_____________________________________________________________________________

" y e s, of course. I would never deny such a beautiful girl to be unable to experience the joy and warmth of love. "

As a student learning the life of Elkrins and how they lived, it was expected of a student like me to witness the beginning of these beautiful creatures. It was a simple mission. Fear and excitement jumped around in my stomach as we walked to the city. Professor Bernard's constant glares and sighs are a frequent companion, and I could not help but feel bad for him. For it is my own jumping emotions that are making this trip harder. I cannot fathom what will happen in the next three days, but I have no doubt that Professor Bernard will be beside me every step of the way. We are traveling to a relatively small city. There is rumored a pregnant Elkrin there whose going to give birth to twins. I should not even be here, but Professor Bernard has been very kind to me and has asked me to join him, believing that I would work better in field work. I cannot stop my fingers from trembling with excitement as I write this. We are only a few hours away from the city now, camped upon a small outcropping in a large field. Soon we shall be within the perimeter and ready to aid the pregnant Elkrin should she need it.
I hope this goes well.

I could not have laid eyes upon a more beautiful sight. The pregnant Elkrin gazed at us with doleful eyes, obviously very tired, but glad to see us. I remember kneeling by her side and rubbing her bulging stomach. I was so surprised when I felt a little nudge returned, as if someone had bumped noses with my hand. We had finally arrived at the city only a day before. Since then I have been introduced to every owner of the inn we were residing in and had also been introduced to the mother of the soon-to-be born twins. While Professor Bernard was busy with talking to a few of the owners, I could not help paying a visit to this beautiful female. She was calm and relaxed, despite the fact that her contractions have already begun. I could not help but be in awe of her. Are all mothers so willing and ready?
Tomorrow is the big day. I cannot wait to see what this beautiful creature will give birth to. For now however, it is time for me to retire to my bed.

Fear drags at my fingers as I write this. The female Elkrin has gone into labor, and is struggling painfully through the contractions. As I sat beside her trembling form, I could not help but feel both awed and powerless. All I could do was help her through the birth. I could not do it for her. However it was a beautiful sight. A mother desperately struggling to give life. To do something only a mother could do. My trembling hands gently rested on her side, stroking her gently and letting her know I was there. Keeping her and her child safe.

Imagine my surprise when I awoke, Professor Bernard gently shaking my shoulder. In his arms was a beautiful Elkrin. Female, her pelt giving off a faint golden glow as the morning light hit it. My breath was caught. I remember feeling as if I was seeing the sun for the first time. He placed the newborn Elkrin into my arms and I held her gently. The mother watched sleepily, seeming content that I was there. The male counter of the little female rested quietly beside his mother, his silver pelt gleaming like the moon.

The feel of the baby Elkrin's skin is like silk, smooth and warm as I rub my fingers gingerly across it's hide. The baby Elkrin opened her eyes slowly, blinking up at me with sun-kissed eyes. A smile crept across my face unwillingly as I watched it yawn and snuggle deeper into my arms.
"Her name is Rhys."
Professor Bernard had murmured, glancing at the mother as she nodded solemnly in approval.
"Rhys...... Beautiful little Rhys."
I whispered, cradling her gently. As I held her there, I felt as if a little piece of my heart had grown back. After 23 years of life, it finally felt as if I was truly living. For nothing had looked at me like that. With such knowing, innocence, and pure, undulating love. That night I slept with Rhys and her mother, watching as little Rhys suckled her mother quietly and returned to sleep. My heart beat painfully against my chest then, protectiveness running through my stronger than ever before.
As I write this now, I leave on this note. I will protect Rhys forever. She will never be alone within the world, and I will always be there for her. A silent guardian in her life. For when she first looked at me, she burned my old life away with her sun colored eyes and my new life rose from the ashes.

Short Story:

Winter Fun
Every child has a moment where their real life is engulfed in imagination. This is Delilah's
The sunlight reflected off of the frozen tundra. I looked up at the enormous mountain that I had to climb. Well, better to get it done sooner than later. After all, didn't the tour guide say that this would be fun?

I shuffled my hooves in the snow of the neighborhood park. The hill looked a lot bigger that what Celeste had described. I saw children sitting down on little disk sleds, gliding down the hill like birds. I looked to the tobogan strapped to my back. If they could do it, why can't I?

I passed several skiers and snowboarders as I headed over to the lift. I unstrapped my skis, and snapped them onto my hooves. I glided over to the lift, where a moving chair picked me up. This was going to be Ok.

Luz helped me lay down on the long tobogan without falling off. A loosley tied strap was the only thing keeping me and the snow apart. She grabbed onto a long teather, and started to trudge up the hill. "Whoo, Delilah you're heavy!" she said as she stumbled at the base of the hill. This was going to be Ok.

As I was heading up the ski lift, I shook my feet around. The heavy skis clattered and clanged, knocking snow off of them. Suddenly, the wind picked up, and hurled huge chunks of snow at my face. I wiped it off, my face now freezing.

I shuffeled my hooves on the wooden tobogan. They felt heavier with the little snow booties Luz had made me. Unfortunately, the only path to the top of the hill was through the middle of a snowball fight. The frozen orbs of snow hit my face like a ton of bricks. I shook my head, hoping to get rid of the snow stuck in between my fur. It was not helpful.

As I neared the top of the slope, I saw the most alarming thing. A skier had fallen down the wrong path, and was now tumbling down the side of the mountain! I gasped as I saw as his skis became detatched from his feet, and he clutched to the side of the mountain for dear life. Ok...maybe I wasn't going to be fine.

As we neared the top of the hill, I saw a little boy attempting to sled down the steep slide. He tumbled off of his sled, and sprawled out ofn the side of the hill, I gasped as I saw him start to slide, then tumble down the hill. I started to squirm in my sled. I wasn't so sure if this was a good Idea anymore.

The time I had been dreading had come, as I came within a few seconds to the begining of the slope. I straightened out my legs, and started to bleat. I wasn't so sure about this anymore. But I couldn't go back, and my skis touched the almost iced over snow. I turned, and faced the daunting slope ahead of me. "Here we go." I whispered to myself, and pushed myself into the wind.

Luz had finally made it to the top of the hill, when I started to bleat. "Oh, It'll be Ok." she said as she turned my sled around. I could see little children sledding down the hill, and then reaching the bottom. With a sigh, Luz pushed my sled forward enough to get the momentem going. And I was off!

The wind brushed my fur back as I raced down the mountain. My scared frown peaked up into a smile as I started to go faster and faster. I leaned in further and let out a little yell of happiness. Wheeeeeee!

The sled lurched forward, and then rocked down the hill. The wind curled my frown into a smile, as the wind blew back my fur. I let out a squeal of excitement. It felt like I was flying! The sled bounced and slided, as I tried to keep my balance. Sledding was fun!

Skiing is fun! I thought as I neared the end of the slope. My speed kept increasing as I screamed "Faster, faster!" Then, it hit me. How was I going to stop at this speed?!? "Slower, slower!" I yelled as the mass of people at the base of the slope came nearer and nearer to me. I shuffled my skis, which seemed to not help at all. As the mass of people came seconds away to me, I went to my last resort for stopping, falling down. I tilted myself to the right, and flopped down onto the snow. Ouch!

As I neared the bottom of the hill, I started fretting again. How was I going to stop? The sled went faster and faster, and when I was almost at the bottom of the hill and about to run over Luz... I fell down. The wet snow soaked my face, as I struggled to get back up. Ouch!

When I was finally able to get my skis off, I strapped them together, and headed back to the lodge. A nice hot cup of cocoa would prove to be the perfect end to a somewhat perfect day. Somewhat...

As we were riding back hope, Luz said she would make me a nice hot cup of cocoa. Yes! A perfect end to a perfect day. Somewhat...

Short Story:

Lieutenant General Roberts strode down the hallways towards the women's barracks; there was only one occupant, but she caused enough trouble to count for an entire platoon. He rapped on the door and received a sharp, "Enter!" Inside the room was empty except for a cot, washstand and trunk. The sheets on the cot were tucked so tightly the slight woman sitting on it hardly made a wrinkle. She stood and gave a tight salute. "Major Arc" he greeted her. The woman in front of him had flaming red hair and the milky completion to match. At only 5' 4" she was much smaller than most of the men who made up the army, but her lithe body and mind protected her in the training arena, and her sharp tongue and sarcasm protected her elsewhere. It was safe to say there was not another figure at the camp more respected and hated at the same time.
"General Roberts" she returned his greeting and dropped her salute, "What have I done now, to earn this visit?"
"Nothing that I know of. I have chosen you as my candidate."
"Sir?" He watched as her carefully formal expression shifted to a puzzled curiosity.
"Two royal Elkrin twins have been born. We have been charged to find them riders, in order to begin their training at once. By virtue of my rank, I have the privilege to select a candidate from our corps. I have selected you."
Joans eyes narrowed.
"You are using this as an opportunity to rid yourself of me!" she accused him. "No man in this army begins to match my skills as a strategist, and my visions-"
"Silence!" he commanded, "This is a promotion Joan. The rider of a royal Elkrin! How dare you turn this into petty squabbling. You have many flaws, but few of my men have your brains and the loyalty that you possess. These are the traits needed by Elkrin riders, and to ascend to that position you will need to overcome more than you have already to have earned your place here. This is not a nomination to be tarnished with argument, unless you have a reason you would not be fit to serve your King and country."
"No sir."
"Then suit up- your best- and come with me to the Jade Palace. The royal family will meet with each of the candidates before the Elkrin are presented to you." He turned on his heel and strode out the door.

Twenty minutes later, Joan of Arc found General Roberts waiting for her in the stables. Her mammoth red warhorse- a loan from the army- was saddled and held by a shaking groom's boy. It was clear from the set of welts on his arm the stallion had already bit the boy once; he behaved himself only with Joan. A thought hit her.
"If I am accepted to this... position... what will happen to Sir Evil here?" General Roberts cast an eye over the beast.
"He'd be used as a pack horse I suppose. He's worthless for anything else, what with that temperment."
Conviction seized Joan. No promotion was worth the relegation of Evil to pack horse.

The ride to the palace was short and, caught up in her thoughts, it seemed to Joan they teleported there by a Warden's spell. They dismounted and their horses led away, Sir Evil bucking. Inside the Palace walls, she followed General Roberts to the hall where the Royals waited.
The caller at the door announced their arrival, "His honorable, Lieutenant General Roberts, and his candidate, Major Arc, Maid of Orleans!"
Once inside, Joan could see the King, Queen, and Prince seated along one wall. The hall itself was filled with noblemen and women, their chosen candidates, and servants. The clergy present watched with disapproving faces; they were not allowed to participate in the proceedings. One by one candidates and their nominators met with the royal family. Soon a servant appeared at General Robert's elbow and led them to the dais.
"Greeting Highnesses." Roberts bowed. Beside him, Joan inclined at the waist. She stood again to see the Queen eyeing her strangely.
"A woman, George?" she questioned the General, "I wasn't aware women were allowed in our army."
"Joan, Highness, is a special case."
"Well shall see." The Queen replied, leaning back in her seat once more.

Trumpets announced the formal proceedings. The Queen rose to speak.
"This is a momentous moment in our kingdom- twin Royal Elkrin have been born! The appearance of even one of these Elkrin spells fortune for our land and the species... twins are an unheard of blessing! The training of these fawns must begin soon, and they will imprint upon their riders tonight!" She clapped her hands, and two small fawns were carried out on silken pillows. One, small with big golden eyes and delicate features caught Joan's eye first. The creature was adorable, fragile, and glowed with purity. Joan hated it immediately. But it's silver counterpart looked healthy, it's coat gleaming as it scrambled to it's feet, small antlers already visible on the crown of it's head. Joan grinned for the first time of the night- this wouldn't be so bad. A servant approached them.
"General Roberts, sir? Which Elkrin will your candidate be competing for?"
Joan pointed towards the male where he proudly stood atop his pillow. General Roberts glared at her before saying,
"My candidate will be going for the gold." The servant frowned.
"Sir, both of the fawns are white royals..." he stumbled to a stop under the General's gaze. "Yes sir, the gold sir."

Quickly the nominees were divided by their intended fawn. Joan reluctantly allowed herself to be guided to a group of giggling noblemen's daughters all wearing the latest court fashions. In her formal military dress she stuck out like a sore thumb. But at least I don't look the daughter of a commoner I am. she consoled herself.
"The female first!" the Queen proclaimed, "This darling has yet to respond to any name we bestow upon her... the first to entice a reaction from her will win her partnership." Each noblewoman stepped forward with flowery names, each frillier than the last. At some, the fawn flicked an ear, or blinked. But each time the Queen waved the proceedings on. Finally only Joan and one girl, the daughter of a minor lord were left. Joan didn't want the shining fawn. She wanted her big, saturnine warhorse back. But to obviously throw the competition would insult the Queen's. Joan picked the most masculine girl's name she could think of off the top of her head.
"Alan...a"
The fawn's head jerked up.
"Alana" Joan said once more, pleading the fawn to hear how unadorned the name was and be properly uninterested. Wide, golden eyes furrowed in concentration, the fawn gathered her gangly legs underneath her and pushed herself up. Wobbly, she made her way to where Joan stood. Everyone around her sighed and cooed as the weak Elkrin came closer, but Joan winced with each delicate *click* of a golden hoof on shining marble tiles. Until the golden head nudged her hand and a blast of molten gold euphoria brought her to her knees before the tiny form. A wise intellect filled her mind, not speaking but communicating. I may be weak now, but I will not always be so. My morals and integrity are a match for yours, and together we will overcome any obstacles placed before us, for the good of our people. Humbled, Joan cradled the fawn- Alana's- head in her hands before kissing her in between her large ears.
"I am honored."

With only the slightest disapproval on her face, the Queen proclaimed Major Arc and Alana imprinted and bonded thereafter. In her newfound happiness, Joan missed the petulant Lord's daughter claiming she was cheated by never getting a turn, and the entire wooing of the little male.
Should we go claim your Sir Evil? Alana suggested slyly.
"I think so, Alana!" Joan said, and scooped up the Elrin and marched out of the room.
Plenty of time for formalities later.
