:iconshroudofshadows:
Mask of wisdom,
mask of fate,
thine eyes yield unto me.
This world plays my prison,
This forest,
My cage.
Shield me mask,
Harbor my rage,
For none should feel my pain.
And when I die,
Come with me, mask.
For my soul is your design.

I saw this beauty for sale and I had to buy him. I wasn't planning on purchasing a cross, but his coloring is just gorgeous. Hoping to get more info on him soon from the seller.

Full body pics: [link]

This fox was not killed for his fur, art or sport. He was a wild animal and not a product of a fur farm. He was able to live as a free animal before his death and was preserved to retain the beauty of the natural world around us.

I'm quite humbled to care for the remains of this beautiful creature and treat him with the highest respect. He is used an invaluable art reference as well as educational piece.

Ask questions before jumping to conclusions. I'll be happy to quell any fears about him.

Omg, we totally need to take them to Drexel when they're done XD! Hannah and I were also planning on taking some mounts to the Renaissance fair as well if you want to come with us :3. As far as larping goes, I'll be surprised if you can coax us out of the apartment. As you could tell, we are very, very lazy people. Sad, but oh so true lol.
