Shiii.
I deleted the whole story..
/Goes to work on drawing annoyed

I never said 'if you are working on something then delete it because its not like you'll be getting something.' If you were the only one who participated, I might have given you a custom or one of the later 'low chance you are gonna get this' shop item or something. :c It is not my fault that you chose to delete something and you can be annoyed as you please, because you didn't ask to see what would happen if you did finish an entry if you were the only one.

No I mean my laptop burned out on me.

Name of Foxeh: I didn't see a name, but here's the image. ;3


If I won, her name would be Teireena.

Entry for which Contest: Writing

Entry: It's here... and it's huge. xD Brace yourselves for the marathon of all entries... P:

Teireena, by nature, is one of the nicest kitsune you will ever meet. Kind, caring, and thoughtful of others, her smile can melt the heart of the coldest soul. Of course, this is only natural, since the younger kitsune are almost always an amiable species. They simply can’t help themselves. But this fox, as breathtaking as she may be, started out much, much differently. She was a spoiled, vain princess, not deterred in the least from manipulating others. If it wasn't there to serve her, then it could be gone. She was so used to getting her way in fact, that she never really allowed for anything different in her life. Love? Hah, love was for the weak. And this, this is the story of how Teireena met her true love. The love who changed her heart.

“Teiry, are you sure I can’t help you in any way?” asked the timidly hushed voice of a Pipe Fox. Sitting vainly on an ornately carved stool, sit the most gorgeous Kitsune in the valley. Heads turned in awe when she stepped into the meadow, her pelt shimmering like a tropical sunset. She was the talk of the land, every male in the vicinity just aching for her hand. This was the fox to which the creature was addressing. “Yes, I’m sure. Now leave me.” Teireena answered smugly, shooing the tiny thing out the door with the flick of an ear. She turned back to the mirror, snapping her fingers for a quartet of Fox Squirrels to come groom her pelt. One worked carefully on each tail, cleaning and combing out the bothersome tangles, while the other worked on her face. Mascara? Check. Petal scented fragrance? Check. Polished jewelry? Check, check, and triple check. She was ready for the social, every hair smoothed into place with the utmost of care. She didn’t expect any less, especially from the most highly skilled team of professionals in the forest. She could afford it, she was a princess.

Just as soon as her elite team finished their job, they withdrew to their quarters with a quiet bow. Their jobs were done. With a contented sigh, she gazed at herself in the mirror with teeming pride. What more could one ask for than to be adorned by her presence? She didn’t have time to answer her own question, as the previous Pipe Fox returned with another Kitsune. Her sister, of course. “Why Teiry, haven’t you seen yourself quite enough?” she asked with a foxy smile, greeting her younger sister with a curtsy. Teireena gave a small smirk, floating off the pedestal to cross to her sister. “Hardly, yourself?” she countered, her eyes lit up with childish excitement. The sister just smiled. “Touché, my sister. I see you’re ready for the social?” Teireena gave a small bounce, causing a few gathering Pipe Foxes to fret over her beautiful tails. “Yes. And they shall pine for us both.” She grinned, trotting out the door to their waiting escort.

All the eligible males in their forest would attend this social, the ones of notable lineage, that is. And of course, they would be there to intercept each and ever one of them. Larce would be there too, oh Larce! He was such a gentlemen, he always followed them around like a little lost duckling. He being more her sister’s type, she hardly ever gave him the courtesy of a moment’s notice. She was after somebody of a more, shall we say, distant demeanor. Somebody who wouldn’t bother her at every waking hour. Somebody who’d make her into a wealthy goddess without ever having to lift a finger. This was what she wanted in a mate. Quiet, reserved, rich. Love didn’t play a single part in her plans. Just an easily manipulated puppet was all she asked for in life. That’s how she’d been brought up to think, you know.

When they arrived at the social, they were avidly greeted by a few dozen foxes from nearby royalties. The Fierlens. The Grutusthis. Ugh, the Yastuls… how lovely that they should show up. Way to friendly for her taste. Not to mention as limited as you could possibly go in the terms of a gene pool. Royal or not royal, that was just wrong. As they nodded and smiled their way to the desserts(which consisted of several varieties of fruit) they turned to view their audience. “So Estella, I haven’t seen Larce trailing along behind you lately…” Teireena began, munching a strawberry. Estella scowled. “He’s over there flirting with the Yastul girl, scoundrel.” She hissed, popping a handful of raspberries in her mouth. Teireena sighed, patting her sister on the back. “Hath no fear, he has 9 brothers. He’s from the Profusitus family, after all.” They both began laughing.

Minutes passed, and suitor after possible suitor came to indulge in idle chit chat. She rolled her eyes, leaving them to her sister’s every whim. It was the same routine every social. First of all, they traveled in a flock. This brought them security, as they were going to need it if they wanted to talk to Teireena. And of course, they weren’t going to. She could sense the bubbly icebreaker before it even became air born. “Hey, it’s kind of cold over here, so we though we’d find something hotter to stand by. And there you were!” She cringed at the thought. That pick-up phrase was common among the Fierlans. Without another word, she made her way through the crowd to a willow. It shaded her perfectly, the lithe outline of her body barely visible through the looming branches. This, to her, was a tactic of attraction. If she seemed like the “tortured temptress” type, who knows, the trophy keepers might just seek her out. As she draped herself out in an alluring fashion, something caught her eye. Pink, to start with, with three tails. She watched it as it drew near, her head rested on her paws enticingly. It was a Kitsune, obviously, but not one she’d ever seen before.

He crept towards the crowd cunningly, his eyes locked on one thing, and one thing only. The feast. What a fool! He would be imprisoned on the spot if he crashed such a high ranked gathering. But she didn’t say a word, her gaze riveted on his stealthy form. She wanted to see if he could really do it. If he could really spring in and out of such a heavily guarded event unnoticed. And do it he did. He took the whole pheasant in the blink of an eye, and was slipping back into the shadows with little to no effort as she lay there gap mouthed. That, was incredible.

She had to learn how to do that. But she had to act fast, or he’d be gone before she could say “Strawberry Tuesday”. She took off at an admirable lope, vanishing into the trees and shrubs like a phantom. Since she hardly ever went faster than a trot, this was exhilarating. It seemed to urge her, usher her, to quicken her pace. So she did. In the very heat of the moment, she even scented the air, becoming instantly overwhelmed by the different scents. At this, she stopped, pinching her eyebrows together. She couldn’t get a single decent reading! So many trees, so many different minerals, so many creatures! Birds! Rodents! She sit down, her eyes wide. This was going to be more difficult than she’d first anticipated. Then, suddenly frightened, she turned around. Trees, and to her left, more trees, and to her right… She couldn’t tell which way she’d come from. Teireena’s whole body was now trembling as she tried to spy something familiar. Then it finally soaked in that she was lost. “Alright Teiry, calm down…you’ve been lost before… yeah, in the maze out back…” Then she heard a loud snap, nearly jumping from her skin.

“H-hello?” she managed to get out, and then felt a tremendous impact from her right. She whirled in mid air, the breath knocked right out of her as she skidded on her back. “You!” she managed to hiss, leaves and twigs sticking out of her fur at all angles as she glowered up at her captor. “Me?” he answered slyly, getting good and comfortable as he kept her pinned. “Let. Me. UP.” He shrugged innocently, springing from her chest just in time for her to stagger to her feet. He smirked, eyeing her highly disheveled pelt. “I assumed you were looking for me, so here I am.” He answered simply, sitting to clean his pelt. With a heated snort, she eyed him with fading contempt. He was actually, dare she say it, quite handsome for a nomad. “You scared me!” she suddenly spat in accusation, distractedly raking a few clumps of dirt from her coat. This wasn’t going to go over very well back home… all that filth in her hair… He grinned impishly. “And you should honestly see yourself right now. You look plain comical. Now if you’ll excuse me, I promised I’d meet a birdie about dinner.” He turned to walk away, assumedly referring to the pheasant.

A well of anger and fear nearly knocked her down, and she stumbled forward a few paces. “Wait! I’m… uhm, kind of lost now...” She mumbled, looking down in horror. She needed him, right here and now, if she wanted to get back home in one piece. Glancing back over his shoulder with a charming smile, he raised an eyebrow. “Now you want my help?” he chuckled, continuing his pace into the forest. Teireena followed a few feet behind, her ears folded back as she fought back alarm. What if he wouldn’t help her? What if he led her to her doom? She didn’t even know him! But she had to take the chance. “Yes.” She answered begrudgingly, her tail hanging in a rose bush at that exact moment. “Ouch!!” She squeaked, wriggling in an attempt to get free. But all it did was entangle her worse. The kitsune rolled his eyes, turning around only to stop a few inches away. He inspected her situation like a doctor to a patient, and she glared into his eyes with fury at his calmness. “Well?!” she asked exasperatedly, and he fought back another laugh. “Hang on, if you hadn’t have wiggled so much, it wouldn’t be this bad.” He responded, now diligently tugging at the various tangles.

She was now face to face with this stranger, her lashes fluttering wildly as she tried not to make eye contact. Why did she feel this way?! He, getting much enjoyment from the situation, paused to brush a leaf from her shoulder. “And, while I remove these thorns, may I ask why you followed me? You don’t appear to be geared for my kind of travels.” She looked away with a heavy sigh, embarrassed. “I wanted to know how you could slip in and out of such heavily crowded places unnoticed.” She told him quietly, absently fiddling with a nearby dandelion before she added. “You were, amazing.” He grinned at this. “It takes years of training to be as good as I am, and then sometimes you still can’t do it.” He boasted, puffing his chest out for added effect. She now watched him with a skeptically arched brow. “Is that so?” she challenged. “Why yes, would I ever lie?” he countered, unwinding another branch from her thigh. Teireena winced, and then crossed her arms. “Yes, I think you just might.”

He smirked, braking off the last vine so she could move. She sprung forward with a small gasp, and then turned to face him. “Teach me.” she insisted, waiting expectantly for an answer. He cocked his head to the side, pricking his ears. “Pardon?” She was now the one grinning. “Teach. Me. How hard could it be?” He sit down, staring at her with a disbelieving smile, and then rose. He carefully circled her for inspection. “Hmm, you are quite thin. That’ll add to your wind resistance while running. But, you need more strength, to easily pull yourself in and out of bad situations.” he informed her, and then continued. “Nice, small size, good for your agility. But you really need to work on the stealth, and your general attentiveness is somewhat lacking…” Teireena shook her head, motioning with her arms for him to stop. “Okay! Okay! So it’ll be a challenge!” she exclaimed, now desperate. “Please.” She finished, clasping her hands together. “It’ll be fun.” He sighed in defeat, shaking his head. “You’re killing me! Alright, I’ll show you, but you have to pay close attention!” She smiled in excitment, giving a small hop. “Excellent! When do we begin, uhm… what’s your name?” He took off running, gracefully leaping the side of a tree and catching a sturdy branch. “Fellis.” He answered smoothly, his tails hanging artfully from both sides. “Teireena.” She responded, eyeing him back with the same intensity.

She liked this Fellis character. He wasn’t like the others, neither the trophy hunters nor the babblers. He was something more. Something exciting. Something that demanded to be noticed. She’d never come across anybody like him in her 300 years. He seemed to unleash a side of her that she’d been hiding since the first time her mother forced her to learn social etiquette. Unlike the other males, who she valued as much as a shiny rock, she didn’t want to control this one, but be like him. And she wanted to be close to him in the process. Like, all this time, she hadn’t been truly living, but existing. When she locked eyes with him the first time, she seen loyalty, bravery, and a touch of humor that made her long for more. This showed her that she could have something far better than wealth. Something far better than control. But something that she couldn’t predict nor control. Love.

Everyday, at a little after noon, she met with him for training. She got better every lesson, and they became closer and closer with each passing day. He told her she was a natural. The longer she was around Fellis, the less she fit in at her own parties. Her sister even questioned her “new self”. But she never told them. Not until the day he asked her to run away with him. It was a glorious spring day, and they had just finished endurance when he popped the question. She was ecstatic. The only one she ever told was her sister, who begged her to stay. She insisted that she was “out of her mind” and “needed to think about it”, but the truth was, she’d been thinking about it every day. Every day since she’d met him. She swore her sister to secrecy and then set off for her love. They met in the forest that night, and went away to live in peace. She comes to visit Estella about once a year, but only in secret. As far as the palace knows, “Princess Teireena” was lost in the midst of a seemingly flawless social. She will be searched for always, and forever mourned by her family and friends. They will never really know what happened that day. That Princess Teireena was never truly lost, but waiting to be found.
