Hey guys, I have a slight dilema. I don't know how to get an avi and I really want one. How would I go about finding one and for that matter, once I get one, how would I go about putting it up?

So, as it says on my occupation, I am a wannabe novelist. So here is a small piece of something I am working on. I'll just put out the prologue to avoid all those people who might be mean enough to try to steal my story.

Prologue

Emerald eyes glinted in the sun as the white lion looked out over the flat expanse. He stared in the direction of the small, newborn cub's cry, unrelenting and unheard by others. Looking back in the direction he had just come, the white tiger could smell the faint scent of the wolves. The odor was leading in the direction of the cry and his stomach knotted, he knew the reason the cub was crying was because the wolves were after it. The tiger took off running towards the sound, a blur of white streaking across the horizon. He slowed as he came to the opening of a large cave. The cries started to slow as he stepped through the opening, there was a pack of black wolves surrounding forming a tight circle, in the middle of which sat the cub that had been crying so loudly. He walked forward, his gaze never leaving the cub's face, sightles eyes stared back at him in a pleading gesture.
Squish! His paw sunk through an unknown substance on the floor, he stopped and looked down, knowing what he was standing in before his eyes came to rest on the blood cooling under his feet. His eyes followed the trail of liquid to the mangled heap that was once the cub's mother, now it just looked like a pile of grey skin. The tiger let out a roar of anger and despair, his eyes closing as tears threatened to overflow. The cry startled the wolves and they raised their heads, spinning around to face the large creature. They tried to run but were blocked in by the giant animal. The tiger growled as one tried to get past him, afraid for their lives and knowing that he would kill them as soon as the oppertunity arose. He grabbed one of the wolves by the throat instantly silencing the growl the wolf tried to get out, he tiger's jaws tightened until he felt the spine break and blood filled his mouth. The other wolves ran past him as he dropped their comrade, snapping at their tails as they left.
He padded slowly to the back of the cave and stared down at the cub, black stripes crisscrossing across it's face and back. It mewled softly, still confused and dissoriented. The cub was now his charge and he had an obligation to watch out for it. He smiled as the babe bumped it's nose into his paw, looking for he mother. He would have no trouble caring for this little creature. The cub stared blankly up at him and he could clearly see the star shaped mark across her right eye, he instantly knew that the it would not have an easy life.
The tiger picked the cub up by the scruff of the neck and walked toward the entryway. He cast one last glance at his now deceased love and walked out into the wind, trying not to run from the burden he was now carrying.

w00t w00t. So I now have a deviant art. I have always wanted one of these things andhave just never bothered to get one. I am a teenager that lives in America (Yeah for me), not much special going on in my life, but yeah! So leave me a comment or two. Some of you know me and others don't but I'm a cool person.
