To enter, you have to submit a name and describe their naming dream. The dream can be in any format - a short story, a poem, a photo, a drawing, anything you want. The buck from the clutch is named Famine, and Elvy and I are looking to go for a creepy naming theme.
You can enter for all of the does, but each doe must have a unique entry. A single user can enter for all 4, if they want to, but will only win one. You can edit your entries up until the contest closes - please make sure you're happy with the name(s) you've chosen! We're also asking that people who won last year's giveaway not enter this one. Sorry!
Enter with the following code:
[size=12][b]I'm entering for:[/b] Doe 1, Doe 2, Doe 3, Doe 4[/size] [b]Username:[/b] [b]Kin name:[/b] [b]Naming Dream: [spoiler]please put your entry in spoiler tags![/spoiler][/b]
Winners receive the kin (obviously!) and get the watercolor tag mailed to them. Tags will have the name written on the back and will be heat laminated before they're mailed, and we'll post for certs as soon as the contest is over!
Please PM space crawfish (that's me!) with a mailing address when the winners are announced! If you don't have an address you're comfortable with giving out or don't have secure mail, I'll be happy to hold the tag for you. The tags will be coming from the eastern US, so please let me know if there's customs forms or specific declarations that need to be on the package so they arrive safely. I hope they arrive in time for Christmas!
These cards are similar to last year's giveaway clutch. They're all 2 3/8" x 4 3/4" (6cm x 12cm) on cut watercolor paper with decorative punched corners. They're a mix of black ink, W&N watercolor, white gouache, and acrylic paint on top. The heat laminator seals the cards completely so you won't have to worry about fingerprints or spilled drinks damaging them. Unfortunately, I mispunched the upper left corner on Doe 1. So sorry! T____T There wasn't really a way to fix it, so that doe's card is just a little bit... special. sweatdrop
Contest ends December 8th at 10pm EST! Good luck everyone!

I'm entering for: Doe 1 Username: Magician Arcana Kin name: Where there is Smoke Naming Dream: There is an Earthquake. Or is there? Or is there? No. Hooves, pounding in unison Pounding the ground like an angry waterfall. Screams and cries Smoke blankets everyone and everything. You stare. You stare. Oh God. Oh no. Bucks run by, their fur is singed, their bones exposed. Does run for their lives, babies close by their sides. Oh God. Oh no. There it is, the flames leap higher. The sound of groaning trees sound like cackles and shake your knees Oh God. Oh no. Where here is smoke... There is surely fire.

Quote:
I'm entering for: Doe 1 Username: SilverShieldwolf Kin name: Six Feet Under Naming Dream: She arrived as everyone else, curious about why they were saddened. Their eyes told of a loss and she didn't know why. Trying to talk to them, they walked past her as if she wasn't there. Slowly each of them went to a large hole in the ground, dropping bits of dirt. Curious she went over to see and screamed. Nobody could hear as her scream would of pierced the eardrums of those around. There, Six Feet Under, was her body. Easy to tell she was being buried, now.

I'm entering for: Doe 1 Username: Xerianthe Kin name: Terror Naming Dream: Once, she laughed at their fear. Their cowering as she passed a great source of amusement. Smoke fills her lungs now, no laughter spills out. She knows true terror.
Quote:
I'm entering for: Doe 1 Username: Lady Aria Starstone Kin name: Cinders Sunder Life Naming Dream:A flame danced near. She loved it, loved it truly. She courted it, and soon danced with the flame.
She found they birthed cinders for children, she and her love, her fire. She carried them close, protected them, found them homes.
She watched them burn all around them, watched things die as the Cinders Sunder Life.
Quote:
I'm entering for: Doe 1 Username: FrostyPeaches Kin name: Slash and Burn Naming Dream: She looks faithful towards Motherfather, And merciless to the ones she kills. Her slash and burn approach to destruction Resulted in bloodshed and many deaths.
Quote:
I'm entering for: Doe 1 Username: Kitty Sprightt Kin name: Antmarch Naming Dream:After a brief illness, a compulsion; a long, long fall to the hard ground; a climb back up, but not to home; and at last, gripping tightly to the place to be your grave, death. But not the end.
I watched the whole thing, and watched as the fungus fruited out of your head. You were doomed the moment the spores found you, insinuated themselves into your body, began eating you from inside. But you didn't know until it marched your body to its death - if you even knew at all. I wonder, by then, did it seem like your own idea?
Quote:
I'm entering for: Doe 1 Username: Byagane319 Kin name: Amber Grave Naming Dream: Slowly I am encased, I can still move but only with great effort. My limbs feel heavy, weight down by this slowly forming prison. I am so tired, I must rest before I can pull myself out.
What is this prison I cannot escape? Colors no longer exist, only shades of dark and light. My prison holds me fast but there are no walls. I can see but the world is strange. Shapes twist into unfamiliar forms and sounds are muffled.
My limbs are bound, immovable even for the slightest movement. The very air around me feels solid. I...am trapped in a prison with no walls for all to see.
Quote:
I'm entering for: Doe 1 Username: Vashtya Kin name: Raze Naming Dream: Rage! So much it's almost pain. Burn it to the ground, a chilling whisper urges. Flames dart, almost playful, tearing down all in their path. Is this your doing, brought forth by desire? Or perhaps some sort of vision of what could be; temper unleashed?
Unbearable heat, burning lungs, and yet you smile. Let it burn, leave nothing untouched.
Quote:
I'm entering for: Doe 1 Username:purplerosesbeauty Kin name: Acrid Naming Dream: The air was nothing but smoke and ash. There was nowhere to go, nowhere to breathe. In the midst of it all, a single doe with a frightening grin, unaffected by the acrid air in the razed marsh.

I'm entering for: Doe 1 Username: Strawberri Stardust Kin name: Shadows on the Sun Naming Dream: Warm, she was so w a r m...all golden glow without a single mark upon her...
And then the shadows came. They crawled over her warmth like ice, paling it out and chasing it back.
She screamed, but on they came, on and on until her golden warmth was stained with b l a c k.

Quote:
I'm entering for:Doe 2 Username: Solar Occultation Kin name: Boiling Blood Naming Dream: Eyes seared wounds into their back.
(Could they see it?)
A soul misplaced.
A heart misshaped.
Whispers nicked at their ears.
(Did they know it?)
A slender form just for show.
The false appearance of a doe.
Denial shattered all their bones.
(Why try to stop it?)
So out it came, in a flood.
A rage, a hate, born of boiling blood.

sing to me of the blood and mud of rocks and stones and sharpened sticks of the deep red moon and darkest night of rage that fills the sky, of loss and the daughter she bore.

Quote:
I'm entering for: Doe 2 Username: Lady Aria Starstone Kin name: Last Breath Naming Dream: So many sounds. Breathing, breathing, all that breathing. It surrounded her, she drowned in it. She fled, trying to escape.
She ran. She ran and ran and all she could hear was the sound of the breathing. No silence, no quiet, no escape. She ran harder, faster... and the sound grew louder.
She ran til she could run no more, and fell to the ground. As she lay there, the sounds grew quieter and quieter, until all she heard was the peaceful sound of her own Last Breath.
Quote:
I'm entering for: Doe 2 Username: FrostyPeaches Kin name: Bloodsucker Naming Dream: Eyes locked on her prey, She sways her hip as she walked, Flashing a seductive smile, Luring him into her trap.
He showers her with love and affection Never once leaving her side. Slowly, she feeds off of him Drinking his blood between small nips.
Day by day Little by little Weaker and weaker He grows.
Day by day Little by little Stronger and stronger She grows.
New life stirs withing her womb "Dearie come quickly," she howled. He watched her give live births And she became the bloodiest para on site.
If she were to die, She will die with pride For her offspring will survive And seek out vulnerable fools.
*Para as in a female who has given birth to an offspring, or more. *Site as in a place/location.

No wrongs, only right The bad blood spills tonight
Quote:
I'm entering for: Doe 2 Username: Kitty Sprightt Kin name: Patter Naming Dream: The rain is warm today.
The air is cold enough to see what breath hangs in it, but the rain blithely ignores this. The normally soft sounds of a gentle shower seem even softer as steam rises against it. The ground may well be breathing, gasping its shock at this unexpected visitor, this unexpected touch.
The rain is warm today.
It hasn't been raining long. The puddles, their ripples freezing even as they sluggishly form, are still small when she steps out into the shower. The caress of it soothes away the chill, and leaves hardly any mark on her hide, though the rest of the swamp can hardly say the same. She smiles as she catches it on her tongue, the vital tang of iron waking her senses. The white of her pelt reddens and she rejoices.
The rain is warm today.
Quote:
I'm entering for: Doe 2 Username: Byagane319 Kin name: Sour Grapes Naming Dream: I did everything he wanted. Gave him all that I had. Yet he still turned me away. My heart broke. My eyes stung with tears. Was he truly worth it? No, he was not as perfect as I always saw him to be. His voice didn't set my heart aflame. His gaze didn't leave me weak in the knees. His arms didn't feel perfect as they wrapped around me. No, he was not worth the trouble. I didn't want him anyway. He was useless to me. She can have him.
Quote:
I'm entering for: Doe 2 Username: Vashtya Kin name: Bloodborne Naming Dream: Seductive, it beckons, like a memory just out of reach. Some distant part of oneself...tantalizing, familiar and yet curiously disconnected, like some long-buried instinct.
Some memories go deeper than experience, tied to each beat of the heart...passed down from past generations--good or ill, unavoidable as time...borne in the blood.
Quote:
I'm entering for: Doe 2 Username:purplerosesbeauty Kin name: Grisly Naming Dream: Even with closed eyes the sight would linger on the sound of buzzing flies the smell of blood at dawn. Even with closed eyes the sight would linger on the echo of chilling cries the image of innards gone. Even with closed eyes the sight would linger on the visions of demise and the grisly scene plays on.
Quote:
I'm entering for: Doe 2 Username: Sarei Stargazer Kin name: Jealous Rage Naming Dream: There was a tribe of Kin that were known for trying to spread lies and heresy through other tribes, creating hatred between creatures great and small, stirring up malice everywhere they went. The leader of this tribe was a shocking crimson and black doe, they called her the Red Queen. None of them had ever known her true name, as she was very secretive of it. She was a very beautiful doe, and her beauty was known as well as their terrible reputation. Many suitors would seek her to request her motherhood, or her partnership. While the Red Queen loved the attention, she was disinterested in any of these bucks. No amount of courtship, romance, or anything else that came with that was of any importance to her, but she was a petty and jealous doe. Though she was not interested in the strings that came with the attentions of bucks, it boiled her blood for them to pay other does any mind in her presence...
As she grew older, the Red Queen became good companions with a handsome and accomplished hunter that was called Roses Rage, who had become top informant for the tribe, and her right-hand man. She denied that they were falling in love, but that only made him try harder. She was so cold to him, at every advance, every attempt he made to finally win her, and one day he had had enough. After the time he spent, working for her, impressing her, still, she gave him nothing. Disheartened, he gave up, and soon he settled with a younger doe, one who was smart and also beautiful, though not as beautiful as the queen.
The Red Queen saw this relationship, and she became filled with rage of her own, at seeing the buck she had fallen in love with run off happily with another doe...but it had been her own fault. If only she hadn't been so cold...But that's what she was all about, and she used this realization, this anger, fueled by Jealous Rage to encourage her followers to continue spread hate and malice amongst kin...
And nobody knew what happened to Roses Rage and his pretty little friend...

Quote:
I'm entering for: Doe 2 Username: SerinaNight Kin name: Bloodshed Naming Dream: The doe trembled in delight, barely able to contain her unadulterated enjoyment. Her lifted forehoof shivered as she remembered the sticky sweet sensation she felt every time she moved her legs. A wild smile has long since spread across her face, and her eyes were widened in wild abandon. The doe's grin seemed to extend as the ground below her sparkled, slowly moving her forehoof closer and closer until it squished to a halt, sliding along the wet ground. She shivered, slowly twisting her hoof back and forth, savoring the sensation before her. When it began to dull, she lifted her foot again, looking for another spot wet with Bloodshed. Perhaps she needed to make more.
Quote:
I'm entering for: Doe 2 Username: fluorescein Kin name: Bludgeon Naming Dream: Hit, sock, pop, dodge and tuck into a dirty roll. For the finishing move, a lunge complete with the satisfying crunch of a job well done. The clear sound's muddled with liquid now.
..and the beat goes on. It's business as usual.
Quote:
I'm entering for: Doe 2 Username: Strawberri Stardust Kin name: Spilled Blood Naming Dream: Green grass....
Pink water....
Red blood...
She looked on it all without emotion.
White hooves became stained with thick, r e dliquid.
And still she never stirred. Why?
Because she didn't cry over spilled blood.

I'm entering for:Doe 3 Username: Magician Arcana Kin name: Late Snow Early Bloom ((small explanation inside spoiler)) Naming Dream: ((Somehow I totally missed that you wanted creepy. x_x; keeping this here momentarily in case I get a better idea for doe 3. Super sorry. Each step, a crunch of snow Thick flakes dance in the air Green eyes dart here and there The world has become monochrome
Where am I, she thinks Foreign land of snowy peaks Not a soul to hear you speak Slowly from this world she shrinks
Step and crunch, crunch and step Green eyes dart wild She's but a doe, a mere child Falling to the ground she laid upon the steppe
There before her, a spring time bloom Early in season, it's green tendrils grew For although the winter was long it knew That springtime would come and clear the gloom
Green eyes to green stem The world filled with color Long gone was the monochrome squalor Into this world bloomed this gem
So she knew from that day A late winter snow could not keep an early bloom at bay
Quote:
I'm entering for: Doe 3 Username: Blinded By Silence Kin name: Woe Naming Dream:
a beautiful world full of life and love and hope the doe lives in peace
every day she spends laying in the sun, dreaming thoughts of color and bliss
but all dreams soon die love will fade and hope is lost peace gives way to fear
every breath she takes lying in her blood, dying all she knows is woe
Quote:
I'm entering for: Doe 3 Username: anemosagkelos Kin name: Gravestone Naming Dream: She kisses them in her sleep and they bleed. She carries them in her mouth and they go limp. She holds them tight and they lose their breath. She loves them and they suffer for it. She sighs and settles. Holes filled in with dirt, marked with pebbles and rocks, surround her. "Gravestone, you must learn not to love so harsh."

I'm entering for:Doe 3 Username: Astraea Pandora Kin name: Dying Memories Naming Dream: My eyes were closing He stood there, quiet and watching A buck of black, he was motionless And then my eyes wouldn't open again
When my eyes opened The faded image of the buck was there I blinked, he was gone And I knew nothing once again
Quote:
I'm entering for:Doe 3 Username: Solar Occultation Kin name: Trapped Naming Dream: She awoke to the smell of swamp fire.
Smoke burned its way down her throat and spirited away her breath, her voice, before she could cry for help.
Ash and heat stung her eyes until she saw the world as the raindrops do.
Animals fled past her stoic form. She should have been doing the same, could have been doing the same as her legs were capable of running and yet...there she knelt, amidst the blaze, her head held high to the heavens, unwilling to forsake her spot.
Trapped.
She could not fathom the reason she had been chosen, or why it had to be in such a manner, but she accepted her fate nonetheless.

Quote:
I'm entering for:Doe 3 Username: Lady Aria Starstone Kin name: Risen from Ash Naming Dream: There was burning and pain, she remembered. The flames crisped her skin, a smell that might have been delicious if it had been an animal, not her. Or was it a memory? Was it happening now? She couldn't tell, all she could tell was there was pain. It kept on and on, every inch hurting.
Then a relief of pain, but it was no relief that lasted long... For there was now fear. Fear because all she could feel was her emotions. She couldn't feel pain, she couldn't feel her skin, she couldn't smell the air or taste it. All she could see, feel, smell... was ashes. She felt like she had become them.
She began to accept she had died, and was gone, that all she was was ash, and never to blossom to something greater. Began, then stopped. No, she would not accept this. She WOULD be more. She did not know how, but she would. She focused. Focused on feeling, feeling skin, feeling warmth and cold, on what it was like to move skin over bone and muscle.
It took no time at all. It took forever. It didn't begin. It began before she realized it. All she knew was now, the focus, the insistence of her mind to not give up. She didn't even realize she'd succeeded until she had stood, Risen from Ash.

Quote:
I'm entering for: Doe 3 Username: Juridian Soul Kin name: Without Breath Naming Dream: Silence. Deathly silence. Swirling in the void of time immemorial. Forever waiting. One step. Another. Fading and flickering. The sound of a beat that cannot cease.. Yet, missing its one companion.
Think. Watch. Wait. Feel. Live... Without one vital motion. No air. No light. No life - yet flourishing.

I'm entering for: Doe 3 Username: Appeal Kin name: Corner of my Eye Naming Dream: It moved.
It went so quick.
Around me my head spins.
Nothing.
My eyes meet darkness.
Caution.
Fear.
My head cranes slowly.
Worry consumes me.
The answer lies around me.
Nothing but a sound from behind.
I don't move
I dare not look.
But it finds me in the corner of my eye.
Quote:
I'm entering for: Doe 3 Username: Sarei Stargazer Kin name: Elegant Agony Naming Dream:
The wind rustled the leaves and the grasses and rushes. The sky became dark with clouds, which swirled in the high breeze, an almost sickly color as the sun spiralled away beneath them. There was a greenish gray hue to them, and it seemed as though the world was buzzing all around. Through the flora, the wind created cries, whispers, whistles, howls and screams, and a lone plant bestowed with the most magnificent purple flowers whirled about, played by the wind spirits. They seemed to almost glow in the strange light that was coming filtered through the sickly clouds, and as the breeze grew stronger, the flowers seemed to still. Suddenly everything stopped, the plants all settled with a tremendous rustling, and all is silent. The magnificent purple flowers start to vibrate, to hum…the calm before the storm…
As the sickly clouds swirled, they grew greener as they went, spiralling about the sun- hypnotic, and suddenly went gray.
All the world seemed to be draped in a thin veil of gray, and as this veil swept the land, the purple flowers hummed and vibrated stronger, until the hum became an earsplitting wail, a horrendous scream unlike any other witnessed. Something seemed to be binding them, draining the life from them, the last frontier…the unknown force of the storm that held itself in the sky. The dainty, beautiful flowers began to wilt, slowly turning gray, just as the rest of the world around them, and as they turned gray, life left them in Elegant Agony, and there they sat, gray, but still beautiful…
A reminder that beauty is not lost in agony and suffering...

Should she choose the world where she would blend in? Where she'd never be noticed as different?
Or should she be the lone shadow in a world of color? Where she could stand out or hide as she pleased?
That last appealed to her... She wanted others to know who she was, wanted them to f e a r her, but only a little. She wanted to be a wild card....
Lips twitched, the faint shadow of a smile upon a face that seemed to be created of shadows.
Black hooves stepped into the world of color and she smirked softly as the world seemed a little darker just from her presence. She would be the ghost of this world.
She would haunt the earth.

I try and I try But try as I may, I can't Force the demons down
I push and I push But stronger they do return I can bare no more
Out and out they go Turning my world into hell Nightmares become real
I cry and I cry Because it is lunacy That brings them to life

I'm entering for: Doe 4 Username: anemosagkelos Kin name: Hellhound Naming Dream: Teeth cut down into flesh, pierce into muscle, scrape against bone. Scratches rake down skin to sting harsh. Blood drops and pools and eventually there is only one left to stand.
A mouth takes hold of the fallen. Drags and drags until the fog is thick. Stops at a single white tree.
"Naughty," the pale tree whispers. A deep rumble of breath, a sinister laugh.
The dying hisses and then is shoved into the gaping black hole in the tree's base. Screams rip upward.
"Such a good hound," the pale tree cooes.
The hellhound wags its tail.

I'm entering for: Doe 4 Username: MoonstoneDazzle Kin name: Sing Sweet Nightingale Naming Dream:The bird lays on the ground. Its wing is broken, misshapen- bone shows where it is not meant to, bends the wrong way.
It cries, so sad, so lonely. Help. It needs help. There is nothing it can do and it is lost.
You find the bird. Its mournful song draws you to it, likes bees to nectar, and you gaze upon it with loving eyes. Normally it would run from you, take to the skies and flee. But you can tell, yes. It has lost hope, it has called to you.
And that is why you have come.
Carefully, so carefully, you sprawl the creature out, looking over its wounds. The smell of blood is rich, rich like the soil, and it screeches in protest at movement. But it stills, sensing, knowing how you care for it.
So you sing. It is not a song of words, of known tune, but the one which the swamp sings to you. Its tune flows through your blood, your bones, your soul, and to the poor creature before you. It is a song of healing, of love, of sorrow.
The bird does not stir as your hoof meets its neck. With a final crunch, it is stilled.
You smile upon it, now, its blood seeping back to the Mother. It has called you here, to do this, and you have answered. Still you sing as you dig up the soil, as you lay its body to rest and return it to the earth. The swamp joins in your song, in your heart and your spirit, and you know you have done well. You are not sung to like this unless She is pleased with your work.
When it is buried, you kiss the earth. It shall help Mother, and that is good.
But you are her singing nightingale, her savior. There is more work to be done and no time to lose.
The songs quiet as you move on.

I'm entering for: Doe 4 Username: Lady Aria Starstone Kin name: Poisoned Heart Naming Dream: A hole in her chest. There was a hole, in her chest. There were... vines? Lines? Veins maybe? Growing out, and down and along the ground.
Were they veins? There were strange, they seemed so wrong.
She stared. She tried to turn away. She could not. She could not look away. She found she must, must look at them, and when she tried to move, she had to follow them.
When she moved towards them, they slid up into her. She tried to rear, she could not, was unable to do more then move forwards again. Whatever these were, they bound her to this path.
She hated it, and yet found herself desiring to follow it. As she walked, she could see out of the corners of her eyes. Things wilted, died, as she passed, and she did not know why.
Suddenly she found herself gazing at something, something these vines/veins connected her to, so tightly.
It was green, it pumped, it moved. As she stared, she realized it was her own Poisoned Heart.

I'm entering for: Doe 4 Username: Byagane319 Kin name: Until the End Naming Dream:Do you feel it? The cold slowly creeping through your body? Ah you can feel warmth? Oh it is my arms? Well, they shall keep you warm only for a bit longer. What is that? You are having trouble seeing? Yes I will be the last thing you see. My voice sounds so far away? Soon it will be the last sound you ever hear. All your senses are leaving you as the cold slowly fills you. But be not afraid I will be here. I will hold you until the last warmth bleeds from your body, until the last speck of color is erased from your eyes, until the silence envelopes you. I am here until the end.

I'm entering for: Doe 4 Username: Jun D Kin name: Ghost Rabbit Naming Dream: One rabbit, two rabbit, three rabbit, four rabbit; one wolf, two wolf, nipping at their heels. One rabbit, run, rabbit - run, fast - RUN, rabbit, faster than your legs can fly, faster than the wolf behind, faster than you feel.
One rabbit, last rabbit - the last, flying fast, rabbit; one wolf - one wolf - faster than its prey: teeth, gnashing - flesh, gashing, one rabbit, death-thrashing - gleam - the terror in your eyes - scream - the horror in your cries - cannot get away.
Oh, rabbit, no - rabbit; blood, flesh, and bone, rabbit. One wolf, feasting, staining red the loam. Oh, rabbit, woe, rabbit. Never now to go, rabbit: never now to bound through fields, summer-kissed nor winter-chilled, never running home.
One rabbit, two rabbit, three rabbit, ghost rabbit: ghost heels, ghost paws, ghost footfalls. One rabbit, ghost rabbit, running all alone, rabbit - home nevermore.

I'm entering for: Doe 4 Username: Strawberri Stardust Kin name: Wraith in Color Naming Dream: She wasn't like her sisters, not like her brother. She could already feel that.
They were all darkness, all saturated colors.
She was pale. She was pastel.
The only dark that stained her was her hooves, but she cherished the color that made her similar to her siblings.
But then she smiled. She could still be like them. Still similar...just in a different way.
She would be their wraithincolor.

I'm entering for: Doe 1 Username: Magician Arcana Kin name: Where there is Smoke Naming Dream:
There is an Earthquake. Or is there? Or is there? No. Hooves, pounding in unison Pounding the ground like an angry waterfall. Screams and cries Smoke blankets everyone and everything. You stare. You stare. Oh God. Oh no. Bucks run by, their fur is singed, their bones exposed. Does run for their lives, babies close by their sides. Oh God. Oh no. There it is, the flames leap higher. The sound of groaning trees sound like cackles and shake your knees Oh God. Oh no. Where here is smoke... There is surely fire.
I'm entering for:Doe 3 Username: Magician Arcana Kin name: Late Snow Early Bloom ((small explanation inside spoiler)) Naming Dream:
((Somehow I totally missed that you wanted creepy. x_x; keeping this here momentarily in case I get a better idea for doe 3. Super sorry. Each step, a crunch of snow Thick flakes dance in the air Green eyes dart here and there The world has become monochrome
Where am I, she thinks Foreign land of snowy peaks Not a soul to hear you speak Slowly from this world she shrinks
Step and crunch, crunch and step Green eyes dart wild She's but a doe, a mere child Falling to the ground she laid upon the steppe
There before her, a spring time bloom Early in season, it's green tendrils grew For although the winter was long it knew That springtime would come and clear the gloom
Green eyes to green stem The world filled with color Long gone was the monochrome squalor Into this world bloomed this gem
So she knew from that day A late winter snow could not keep an early bloom at bay

She kisses them in her sleep and they bleed. She carries them in her mouth and they go limp. She holds them tight and they lose their breath. She loves them and they suffer for it. She sighs and settles. Holes filled in with dirt, marked with pebbles and rocks, surround her. "Gravestone, you must learn not to love so harsh."

I'm entering for: Doe 1 Username: SilverShieldwolf Kin name: Six Feet Under Naming Dream:
She arrived as everyone else, curious about why they were saddened. Their eyes told of a loss and she didn't know why. Trying to talk to them, they walked past her as if she wasn't there. Slowly each of them went to a large hole in the ground, dropping bits of dirt. Curious she went over to see and screamed. Nobody could hear as her scream would of pierced the eardrums of those around. There, Six Feet Under, was her body. Easy to tell she was being buried, now.

I'm entering for:Doe 2 Username: Solar Occultation Kin name: Boiling Blood Naming Dream:
Eyes seared wounds into their back.
(Could they see it?)
A soul misplaced.
A heart misshaped.
Whispers nicked at their ears.
(Did they know it?)
A slender form just for show.
The false appearance of a doe.
Denial shattered all their bones.
(Why try to stop it?)
So out it came, in a flood.
A rage, a hate, born of boiling blood.
I'm entering for:Doe 3 Username: Solar Occultation Kin name: Trapped Naming Dream:
She awoke to the smell of swamp fire.
Smoke burned its way down her throat and spirited away her breath, her voice, before she could cry for help.
Ash and heat stung her eyes until she saw the world as the raindrops do.
Animals fled past her stoic form. She should have been doing the same, could have been doing the same as her legs were capable of running and yet...there she knelt, amidst the blaze, her head held high to the heavens, unwilling to forsake her spot.
Trapped.
She could not fathom the reason she had been chosen, or why it had to be in such a manner, but she accepted her fate nonetheless.
