Spring/Summer, Year 757 of the New Age
The landbridge leading to The Cape, Windborne

"Mama?"

The scream had been mixed with the calls of the gulls but the barely one year old fawn still felt her blood freeze as she turned at the sound. In horror she had seen a body, tossed like a small mouse by some invisible predator playing with its catch, over the edge. It had been golden colored, just like her mother. Then she saw the dark silhouette come upon the high cliff looking down. Dark clouds formed on the sky behind it and a flock of gulls flew around, and despite the distance their calls came through, sounding almost pleading cries. Had that fawnling pushed...then there was another, similar looking, also looking down. What had they done to her mother. Aurais eyes grew in horror as she saw the first one raise its head and look down along the beach. She darted to the big boulder she had been her on her way to climb, but it was wet and slippery and she had fallen down from it just before she had heard the scream. Instead she now took cover behind it.

Hours later the salty wind and water had made her eyes tear up and every breath was painful. Every muscle in her body acted. Wet and tired she made it up on the beach. They had almost caught her, cornered her on the cliff, this one not as high as the one they had been on when she first saw them. It was however higher than her and it faced the foamy sea, trapping her in a deadend. Within her heart she had known that these fawnlings, these dark stags were bad, no matter what they told her. Her mother had mentioned names, their names in fact, and said they were trouble, but not why they were trouble. That notion had made her freeze in horror. As one of them had climbed closer and almost caught her, she had leaped from the rock out into the restless water.

She had been tossed here and there, dragged around and away by the strong waves. The only thing she could do was to keep her head above water, and even that simple task was hard. She must have swallowed some water and getting plenty in her nose before she finally got pulled in closer to shore and she felt the sandy bottom under her hooves again. On shakey legs she made it up and then she collapsed in a small pile. She lay there, shivering for a moment before she started to look around. There was a small used path up from the beach but she was too tired still to walk up on the bank above it. After her rest perhaps. It wasnt until now she realized her mother wouldnt come, that she was all alone and she didnt know where to go. She rose again and after awhile she found a hidden place, safe from the breezy wind, and folded her legs, covering her face with her tail. There was a few shivers, a few sobs, but then sleep finally found her.

Name: Aurai (Named after a greek windnymph)
Age: 1 (born spring in the year 756 of the New Age)
Gender: Doe
Height: 8hh (adult height)
Body Type: Light-medium
Herd: Windborne/Cape Splinter
Magic Type(s): Air Magic
Color: flaxen black chestnut fawn
Genetics: ee/aa/ff/fwfw/nrz
Proposed Position: Herdmember
Use: The Western Isles
Personality: She is rather descrete and gentle by nature, keeps mostly to herself even if she dont have nothing against company. She is very afraid of high cliffs or climbing anything higher than herself or something she cant jump down from. She is very fast and takes pride in that.

History: Aurai hadn't lived a long life yet, but during this time she had been on the run, running from someone that she shouldn't fear but was forced to due to the previous events before her birth, the paths chosen, the lies spoken out of rejection and then of course the dark deed itself.
Aurai was born to the black chestnut stag Notus, and the golden flaxen chestnut doe Aurora of Windborne, both belonging to the main herd of the island. Notus being the oldest of four brothes was the first to take a mate. Zephyr, the second oldest brother however, had ever sice he got his first horns had a crush on the same doe as his older brother. Around the time when his brother and Aurora had made their bond as mates he had begun persuing her, trying to convince her that he was the best of the brothers, but she rejected him, much to his anger. However, knowing his older brothers jealous streak he began to plant seeds of suspicion in his brothers mind about his mates loyalty. As time went by, Notus jealosy grew and grew until that day it took a physical form. This was after Zephyr claiming Aurora had come on to him and trying to convince him to murder her mate. Being halfway through her pregnancy at the time there wasnt much the doe could do than trying to calm her mate the best she could. However, the abuse continued and in secret Aurora started to plan her escape to one of the splinter herds that lived on The Cape. Even if Aurora managed to escape unseen, Notus was soon on her trail, thanks to his helpful brother Zephyr. Aurora managed to stay hidden for awhile, enough time to give birth to a daughter and travel as far as to the little stretch of land that led out to The Cape. Getting her daughter safe, telling her to follow the sandy shores til she found the other herd, telling her that she would come after her, that she just had one thing left to do first. After seeing her daughter go down the slope and then being halfway down the beach she then turned to met her mate and his brother - and her fate.
