blockEdragon - a lovely frigaes deer, which I have wanted for a long time now! Thank you very much for sending me one!
Zanthor - Thank you, this little piece of writing was wonderful and charming, and the black skulk is exactly what I wanted! Quoting your writing here for posterity:
Winter has come, and with it comes the cold and the snow. During this time of the year many a magi seeks out a companion that brings warmth. From the flames of a Phoenix, to the delicious smelling warmth of a Roast Arkenian Goose, once the cold takes hold anything will do. Of course many have heard that two is better than one, and three even better than two, so surely a Cerberus would be best, what with its three flame spouting heads. Obviously that is not true though, for there exists the Skulks, with their five burning tails there truly is no companion better suited for warming up a magi from the cold. What's that? Snuggling up to fire isn't wise? You'd be better off with something big and fuzzy? That's crazy talk! Skulks are plenty fuzzy, and if you catch a little burning to death...well...at least you'll be warm until the end. Merry Christmas!
DarkRider - thanks for the satura, they are lovely and I'm glad to see them!
Rattyfleef, Silverdove, and Jrap17 - I can't thank you enough for the SB herbalist deer. Having several people be so generous is a great gift and I'm very grateful to all of you!
Alto - Thank you for the gilded skulk and this lovely, funny story! It really made me smile:
As the hours finally tick toward Christmas day, the halls of the Keep quiet and settle. It's late enough for you to close your door and stoke the fire in your fireplace, basking now in the quiet instead of the festivities until tomorrow morning; but, apparently, that is not yet to be the case, as one more mage comes running down the hall making a wailing sound of imminent despair. Of course, it's Alto, and he looks more distressed by his horrible sense of time than anything else. As you open the door to peer at the spectacle, he throws an egg at you, enchanted so that it stops before it splatters on anything. "Happy holidays," he shouts over his shoulder at you, in a very distressed manner.
To anon gifters: thank you for sending me a quetz, saturas, a kitsune, and a striped gryphon. I don't know who you are but I hope you have a good day and get creatures you love!
A big big BIG thank you to RobotChimera - I don't know what to say, I didn't ever expect to get gifted an ice kitsune, but you really made my day! She is beautiful and will have pride of place with my foxes! Thank you so so much for your kind generosity!
And lastly to the Magistream staff - thank you for the new creatures, what a great surprise! I'm glad the site is still going strong and hope you all have a good holiday!
Thank you!
