It was late afternoon, when Theseus left the security of the
herd and went on his long planned adventure. He didn’t have
guard patrol the next few days, so he had asked his superior
for some time off to go see The Ash Plains. The superior had
agreed. His father hadn’t liked the idea of his son wandering
off though, but Theseus for once won the fight.

“You always say I need to learn more, be faster and stronger,
to experience the world around us and learn how to big a
good soldier,” Theseus had argued. “The Ash Plains are a big
part of Fawnling history, and being out there on my own for a
few days will teach me independence and make me
stronger.”

“Hrmf,” mumbled his father. “I think you for once got more
than enough independence; I’d just wish you would do more
useful things with it, kid.” The big stag scratched and old war
scar on his flank, then looked down at his golden son. “Ay,
maybe you’ll actually get to learn some things out there. So
you go now. But don’t you dare stay away for longer than
your superior has agreed to!”

“I won’t”, Theseus had promised and then took off.

The hike to the Plains took over half a day from the herd.
Theseus didn’t rest to sleep, but continued trotting at a low
pace during the night – or walk when he needed rest. As the
sun got low and the moon ascended, he watched other
animals go to rest and yet others awakening to go hunting.
Curious little critters watch him from above with golden eyes
glistening like little stars, when the night fell upon the forest.
He even heard a wolf howl, but it was far away. Maybe all the
way over near Blackwood borders.

At daybreak he reached the Plains.

Theseus emerged from the forest and climbed the small hill in
front of him. Beneath him The Ash Plains stretch out in
endless glory, glooming in the morning sun. He had finally
reached the place he had only heard of in stories and always
dreamed to see. The very end of his homeland territory.

With his head held high, Theseus closed his eyes and drank
in the warm spring breeze. He could smell the long grass that
whispered below him as a giant green sea. He could smell the
damp air from the woods behind him and the reminiscence of
other animals crossing this path.

This is gorgeous!
All these fawnlings are making me twitchy to do some Ayrintili art, but especially this one. I know they're not at all the same breeds, but they do have some similarities, and the pose and general silhouette of this one just screams those similarities at me lol
Might have to do some Ayrintili doodles now!

Dette er så fantastisk!
Han ser så rolig og bestemt ut.
og jeg liker hvordan du har fått fram en litt sånn rolig stemning i bildet, men fortsatt er det noe i kroppsspråket hans som får meg til å lure på om han tenker på noe spessielt...
Jeg liker veldig godt stilen din, den er så realistisk og ganske ehm.. fin(?)(vet ikke helt om det er det rette oredet å bruke da, men ...)
