Owner: Commander Shepard
Gender: Male
Breedable: Yes
Type: Woodland Elkrin





A Common Tale

The Woodland Elkrins are deer who are masters at blending in with their forest surroundings. Using their brindle colored and stripped pelt, they match perfectly with the bark and trees of their woods. They are one of the more numerous species and can be located in any small forest or patches of woodlands among the land. Many would call them a common dear, nothing overly marvelous or eye catching about them, this is probably in fact what has saved them from going extinct like many others of their kind. They tend to shy away from any humans and flee at even the slightest scent of a hunter. They are a more cautious breed then most and do not gather in herds, preferring instead to live as nomads across the land. This logic is also why they have survived. They do not bring attention to themselves and a large herd would certainly call for attention. However, when confronted with an enemy they will unexpectedly charge at their attacker, catching them off-guard and then gaining the upper hand. The stags are more powerful then the does and bare antlers that are like sharp gnarled roots. Their hooves are like steel and able to cut into stone, making it fairly easy to crack open a skull if need be. But for the most part they are rarely taken noticed of, much to their preference. Yet not everything can remain unseen forever...

Name:FeatherReaperScourge
(Give this Elkrin a name)Fern
Breedable:YES
(Yes/No)
Extra:thnx
(1 piece of art and/or 1500 word max. story)
Fern was born in the deep woods.
Where the moss grows, bats fly, glowing mushrooms bloom.
Fern looked like a deer, a normal ordinary deer. When he was born he stood up faster then other newborns.
Years past, Fern was grown up, he went close to a glowing mushroom, he touched it with his hoof. He thought it was safe so he took a bite out of it, Fern shouted, birds flew up.
In a sunset the sky was clear, leaves started to fall, the ground was shaking, rocks were bouncing. A hoof stood up, and another and another and another. Glowing blue eyes, antler horns, and fur like Okami. He had well-muscled legs, arms and stomach, his tail was long and hairy. He trotted down the slopes not knowing he has changed. He took a quick sip of water with his eyes closed. Once he opened his eyes Fern yelled again. Too frightened he stood back from the water and slowly approached it.
He looked at his reflection, turning his head side to side. He stomped the water hoping it was a dream. “Wake up, Wake up” he told himself to, he started bucking the air and bumped into the tree, he then realized it wasn’t a dream, he looked back at the water and laid down. He curled up into a ball and slept.
The next morning he woke up “Phew, it really was a dream” he said to himself, he drank some water and saw his reflection. Fern sat down with a dull face “Argh”. Fern needed to get used to his new appearance, he wanted to know what his new self can do.
Fern stomped his hoofs and something came up onto the floor, It said “ Elkrin” He heard of that name, Ferns mother told him a story about them each time he felt nervous or unhappy.
“Elkrin’s fight off evil, they own the glowing mushrooms you see.” Fern thought of the whole story He walked up a giant rock and all Elkrin’s hoarded towards him “Hail the lord”. Fern now knew he was the new lord of the Elkrin’s. He stood up solid and he knew he had to protect his hoard, they ran off together towards the sunset and the future now depends on it.

    Diary Entry #001
    February 16th 2013

    It was the start of the spring holidays and the days were finally starting to grow longer, warmer and brighter. For Destiny, it was an opportunity to go out into the woods and try to find the famous Elkrin that roamed around this part of the world.
    She ha heard so much about them at school and from her farther that she was just so excited to find one on her own and in the wild.
    Despite the fact they were the best-camouflaged species known in this region, Destiny loved the challenge of trying to find them and sketch images of them before she was spotted or they scared away.
    But any way, back to what I am writing about: ‘How Destiny first met an Elkrin she called Barley.‘



    She got up before the rest of us and was out in the woods before the roosters could, um, sing.
    This was a normal thing for her to do and none of us were really worried about her, but then again are farther had seen a few fawns appearing from the undergrowth and he knew that would mean stags were around too, they were very dangerous. (As was the fog the forest was blanketed in.)
    But he had a lot of work to do one the farm and me and mother had to go to market, but I knew Destiny would be all right. She was an explorer who knew no fear.



    The forest floor crackled underneath her feet, the moist air filling her lungs with the scent of a new season and grate opportunity to explore a new world.
    Despite a cold wind blowing softly against her cheek and thick fog covering her in a milky white environment, Destiny was only wearing a thin t-shirt, emerald coloured jogging bottoms, a dark black hoody and a pair of soft maroon ugg boots.
    Those were her ‘I’m going to go exploring’ clothes and she had often told her friends that they helped her blend in if she was spying on any of the forest creatures, but they were comfortable too and she considered them too be lucky.
    If they were lucky or not was not really known, but they did help reassure her when ever she was in doubt.
    Suddenly there was a loud snap. Something that sounded like a small branch cracking underneath her feet, Destiny froze to the spot. Leaves not a twig, or branches for that matter, surrounded her, and she was certainly not that heavy.
    Though many would be scared at this point and run away screaming, this was Destiny and she moved closer into a group of ferns that had grown up and out of a small clearing a few more feet away.
    A mischievous grin spread across her pale lips, her dark green eyes scanning for anything that moved, and she pulled out her sketchbook and pencil.
    There was another snap of a twig and Destiny jumped slightly, trying to calm herself.
    The fog got lighter and lighter until she could see the source of the sounds. Her heart skipped a beat and she almost dropped her sketchbook and pencil.
    There before her stood the most handsome Elkrin stag.
    His mighty breathes caused small clouds to form and rise to the heavens, his thin but powerful legs carrying a heavily built but sleek body.
    This mighty creature was better than she could ever have imagined it to be. He was like a fallen angle, painted of a golden brown and left to live in a forest of myth and destiny.
    Snorting, the stag turned his mighty head to face her, his emerald eyes glowing.
    It was unclear what he might have been thinking, but Destiny knew it couldn’t be anything bad.
    She reached her hand towards him and he came cautiously closer until he was a penny length away, taking deep intakes of her scent and breathing out warm clouds of moisture.
    There was another snap and a bird made its morning call, enough to spook him.
    Rearing up and letting out a sound like a she had never heard, the stag fled into the fog. His heavy hooves thumping in time with Destiny’s racing heart, as he vanished back into myth.
    Totally stunned and mystified, Destiny stood there for a moment, mouth open and breath held in, as she tried to gather what had just happened.
    Finally that smile she was famous for reappeared and she turned and fled back to the house.
    Destiny would never forget that day. The day she met her best friend and guardian.

    But it was not over.
    The mighty stag came to her farm a few times and let out the same call. It was enough to arise her spirits and she rushed out to see him, both of them growing more confident of each other with every waking day.
    Soon she thought of a name. One that matched his golden belly and sweet smell, Barley.
    The mighty common Elkrin, who changed her life and gave her memories to set her childhood into a grand adventure.

It was a nice sunny day and me, Grass, and Spade (My rune dragons) We had been going for a small walk which turned into a huge walk when Spade started to play tag with another rune dragon. I watched and chased them to make sure Spade didnt get to far. Grass flew above me then Grass is suddenly in front of me looking around. I move around Grass and look around not seeing anything but trees.
