She stole up on him like a dream from the sweetest possible realm of the subconscious, an image of glory and beauty all wrapped up into one divine being. At first glance, to the uninitiated, she would have simply have been classed as a doe, a normal deer with nothing all that special about her, but there was much more to Kaliaei than met the eye. Around her neck hung a draping of rich, green moss that was fused to the very fibre of her being, what made her different from normal deer, mushrooms sprouting from it that grew and replenished themselves as the seasons passed. They were not a parasitic variety and did not feed off what lay beneath her soft brown coat of fur, her crown of moss and mushrooms taking the place where a male's antlers would, at least traditionally, sit. As a peacekeeper of the forest, there was no mistaking her for any other deer with the twitching, white bob of her tail as she smiled, waiting for the king to notice her, to finally allow her into the scope of his attention. No, she was no ordinary deer but a Sheridian of the woodland realm and the king as well that she sought out so very sweetly in the season of the rut was one and the same as her.
Akurah stood tall and proud in the middle of the clearing, a shaft of sunlight falling over his coat, a dark, luscious brown that spoke of good health and power, a little taller than the doe who had struck off that morning in search of the sound of his cloven hooves. In a way, his adornments as a Sheridian were more subtle yet larger still than hers, the draping of shrubbery around his neck taking the part of royal adornments. His fetlocks were similarly clad in the shrubbery, both of which were dotted with purple-blue berries -- the shade of them seemed to change depending on just how the light hit them. Akurah, the king of the forest's crowning feature, however, was most certainly the gorgeous, orange bloom shot through with lines of yellow atop his head, antlers draped softly with moss too as if he had just brought his head out of a cool forest pool, dripping with beads of moisture.
But even the king had his admirers and, in all honesty, he was quite one to admire too, even if he was yet to take a mate for his own. Mating, of course, was something that happened each and every breeding season, the stags under his command in rut as he surveyed his kingdom with a regal air, above the cacophony and yet still sweetly enjoying his own during that time too. It was a mate, truly, though that he sought for his own and the little Kaliaei had caught his eye right back when she'd chanced to step into his side of the forest, each ruling separate areas without ever really knowing that the other existed. It must have, however, have simply been divine intervention that had served to bring them together for there was no turning back from the very first moment that their eyes met, changing their fates irrevocably, forever intertwined.
"You surprised me, Kaliaei," Akurah said, raising his voice to cut across to where she had posed herself sweetly on an outcrop of rock, all quivering anticipation as if she already knew just where her path must lead. "Are the pickings good on your side of the forest this fine day?"
But Kaliaei was not a doe who had any interest in small talk at that moment, the air crisp and fresh as sunshine filtered down from the canopy of deciduous trees stretching their boughs, oh so very kindly, out above them. It provided welcomingly delicious shade and she held her smile as she approached him, despite the nerves churning in raw anticipation in her gut. There was only one thing she could see herself doing and, well, she had to dig up every last scrap of boldness in her body to see it through with her king.
"I've been searching for you," she said softly, although the doe spoke with a sense of presence as if she knew that she did not have to raise her voice even in the slightest in order to be heard. "And watching..."
The king smiled gently but could not help but take a step back as she advanced on him, her steps slow and subtle and yet still managing to close the distance between them. It was hardly as if, after all, the stag would have wanted to flee from her or turn away her advances, only that they were moves that he did not quite yet understand. She, after all, was a doe on a mission and doe, even at that time, who was very much in need, fluttering her eyelashes at him as she smiled, her beauty devastating and more than enough for him to catch his breath, any sense of strength and masculinity he had wavering in the face of her desire.
"What are you..."
Yet that was a question that, for the moment, would have to go unanswered, Kaliaei circling him slowly, savouring every last nuance and edge of his form, drinking in all he had to offer her. Power radiated from him but it was his personal bubble that she sought to enter, a twig crunching lightly and dryly under her hoof as she met his eyes with both confidence and yet trembling vulnerability that could never again, not from that moment on, be matched. Her lips grazed his cheek and then were on his neck, a nibbling kiss that could only mean one thing.
Or maybe... He flushed, stuttering and stammering in place as his regal faΓ§ade dropped at last, trembling in the moment as she giggled and kissed his throat -- a place where no deer should really have been at all comfortable in being kissed. What did she want from him or was his mind simply jumping to the conclusions that he hoped for? Her worship of him, softly kissing and nipping at his fur, could mean nothing at all, her sweet adoration a working of his most rampant, wild imagination.
And yet he could not concoct the words that emerged from her warm lips next, the doe seeming to angle herself just so, allowing him to look down the length of her body, quite deliberately, to her twitching, bobbing tail.
"You're divine," she said softly, the worship and adoration ringing through her tone. "Oh, Akurah... I've watched you for so long and wanted you for long... Please..."
