 More. And more. And more. The creatures just kept coming, one after another, crowding in on the mystical maiden. My harks perked forward as she began talking about a prize, a gift. All I had to do was make a nest? Oh wait, a second task? This couldn’t be as hard as I thought it would be, could it? I mean all I needed was just a couple of little things to make a nest for this creature. Though, I did want to be a crafter after all, so maybe this would be some swell practice. And like many others, I set off into the deep forest. Twigs, straw, grass. My gatherings repeated inside of my mind as I walked, weaving through the trees and stepping over large sticks. These three things would be easy to find, we are in a forest surrounded by trees, and grass. My large dome and my orbs glanced around, taking in many beautiful scents. Why had I never come here before? I mean, it’s so— so gorgeous! As my mind wandered around, I continued on with my search, taking in my scene carefully. I came across a dandy little bird nest, which must of fallen out of a tree, but there was no baby birds to my recall. And so I took it, if it was just going to sit there alone, I might as well put some use into it. It was in a fairly good shape, all I needed to do was get a bit more twigs to patch it up and some grass to make it confortable for the precious baby that she was giving away. If I didn’t win over the maiden, that was alright, I would have another chance some other time, right? I would go ahead and give my nest to the one who had won, just in case they might be in need of another emergency home. Although, I really want to win, I knew I had no chance at it. I had no friends here to support me, well, except Artemis and Adalaide, but they weren’t really friends. I doubt if they even could remember me if I walked up to them and greeted them generously. They would think I was a stranger. I shook the thoughts from my dome and continued on. My dark azure orbs clanking around until they found what they had been looking for. A pile of twigs, and not too far away there was just a little pile of grass nearby. I smiled, thinking maybe that this would be possible if I didn’t fuck anything up like what normally would happen. I carried myself across to the pile, gently putting the nest on the ground. I took a few twigs, weaved them into the holes, and then made sure they were all secure. I left the nest there, sitting on the ground as I walked into the distance. I stopped right outside the patch of lush, green grass, trying decide if I should eat it or not. No. I fussed at myself and picked at the grass until I had a mouth full. I trotted back to the nest, softly laying the grass in with the warm straw. I smiled at my handy work and then looked around at my surroundings. Now, just somewhere to put it. But it didn’t take long for me to catch the glimpse of a small little cave. My maw gently picked up the nest and danced over towards it. I examined the cave before putting my nest in the darkness, my teeth carefully letting go. It was covered in moss, the outside was and little vines hung down from the entering. Grass grew tall on the sides and the lush had just begun to grow on the inside, but it was enough to make a soft bed. It was very sturdy and no one would even notice that there was a nest laying inside the shelter. I smirked and then turned back to head on back towards the herd. I looked back once more and smiled at my work before cantering towards the group. I knew I was a little behind everyone else but the red haired had just came back and was explaining her own home to the doe. So I eased down to a trot, and then a walk. I stopped in front of the creature and dipped my dome to her. I listened to the mare as she spoke. She really liked the mare’s idea, but I hoped that my own would be better. It was finally my turn to speak towards the maiden after the mare was done. I smiled and held my head proudly into the wind. "Madam, I have come up with an idea different than the others. I have placed my nest into a small abandoned cave, covered in dark moss. The shelter is surrounded with tall lush grass, and inside, the grass has just begun to grow, providing a soft bed for if the egg must fall. At night, the straw and grasses, along with the cave, with keep it warm. At daylight, the moss covers just enough where it will be warm and cozy, but not enough for it to get too hot. I will protect this egg with all my life maiden, and I hope you trust me with your precious." I spoke in a kind voice, dipped my dome, and then backed up so the rest behind me could speak as of what they had created from their first task of gaining this doe’s beloved egg. I hope that I had a good chance at winning this oval over, for I was not giving up. I needed someone to be my darling, my best friend forever. And this was maybe the only chance I had at gaining one that I would so dearly love. I had to at least try and give it a shot. Give it my best. Alright, I can do this! I’ll win this over! But what if it’s all for nothing? [ @[Artemis] ] |
