A Paragon of Her Kind

When life tears you down

A series of light approaches from the darkness, and from first glace it looks as if one of the lamp trees had gained legs. The movement was slow and halting, every now and then dipping behind the trees only to appear again. The darkness of the night was still prevalent, and the moon, in this dark place, was obscured by the now lush and full trees. As the lights grew ever closer, so did the form of the one carrying them, on her proud head.

A large, rack of antlers seemed to settle onto her back in an ornate way, and each tine glowed from the inside, casting a bright, soft light over her furry form. She was a deer, one that stood about as high as a tall pony on long, slender legs. A great mane of hair flowed from around her neck and onto her chest, and her eyes seemed to glow with the same, strange light as the tops of her antlers.

In her wake, she left star-like, glowing prints. They were small, like the tiny shapes of her hooves, and they slowly faded as she came to a halt, breathing heavily. Wrapped in a small bundle that was strapped to her neck was a strange, soft-shelled, breathing orb of sorts. Carefully, she set it down, her breathing hard through her soft nostrils.

Slender legs shook beneath her, and she was clearly ill. Liquid dripped from her nose and the fur on her neck hid gashes, but the smell of blood would be apparent. It fell on the ground near her precious charge, and she looked out into the woods with an expression of desperation. She needed to be sure that this gift would survive, would live... She had to be sure...

The creature lifted her nose to the sky and let out a mournful, loud cry, shaking the leaves on the trees. After closing her whiskered lips, she dropped her head again and drew in a shaky breath. "Please... help." She whispered, closing her eyes and leaning against a nearby tree.

One by one the lights on her antlers went out.

Now, only four remained.

She was passing - the light of her life turning to darkness.

A new companion has entered the land of Helovia called a "Cerndyr!" This drop is for a royal Cerndyr companion. To learn more about them, read below. The winner may choose one of the four types below. If you end up choosing a "lamplight" cerndyr, then you are welcome to use this table :3

The winner of the drop will be determined by a small task and a dice roll. Please respond here within 4 days/96 hours to be considered for the drop. In order to be considered for this drop, you only have to have "a" companion on your wishlist, since this was obviously not one of your options before!

The Cerndyr are deer-like creatures with ornate antlers on the males and are very intricate and lightly built. They are known for their mystery and quiet behavior and hatch from orbs. Once an individual and self-governed animal, the cerndyr lost their homeland and their ability to survive on their own.

Royal (rare): Are large sized deer (4.5ft tall at shoulder/150lbs) where the males and females both have full sets of antlers with 20+ tines. They are often abnormally but conservatively colored and have extensive elemental markings and permanence.
Common: Are medium sized deer (3.5ft tall at shoulder/100lbs) where only the males have antlers (16 tines) and the females are bare headed. They are normally colored with medium expression of elemental markings and permanence.
Plain (rare): Are small sized deer (2.5ft tall at shoulder/60lbs) where the males have antlers (10 tines) and the females have smaller more delicate antlers (8 tines). They are normally colored with little expression of elemental markings and permancence.

» Earth Spirit :: Antlers are woven with living plants and they can make themselves and their bond-mate disappear, blending into the natural environment.
» Dark Mist : Can summon thick mists that can cloud emotions and thoughts of their opponent, and their markings almost seem obscuring and dark
» Lamplight: Can ignite the tips of their antlers in an illusionary flame or light that can cast a beam upon a weak area/place on their opponent; their hoofprints often glow temporarily
» Starpast: Can conjure 2 small ethereal figures of the past that can charge itself and it's bond-mate, giving energy to move slightly faster temporarily, and their markings often have a soft glow
