Zylix trotted through the forests, thinking silently to herself; It was her second day since being back as a young doe. Her antlers brushed against low-flowing branches, her lengthy legs striding proudly along the forest floor and bushes.
She breaks into a run, ears flat against her head as she does, watching the world before her whizz by. She skids to a stop after passing a small grouping of other deer. She trots back and joins two deer, laying in the flowers with them. Her red antlers, adorned with equally red flowers, and the dark-red-filled-with-bloodred line going down her sides all added up to her sticking out like a sore hoof. She glanced around and started to wonder if the other two deer were mates.
She listens to the lofty-voiced fawns in the background, crickets hopping at her folded legs. She sneezed softly and looked around, smiling as she enjoyed the final days of Summer as the world tipped over to Fall and, eventually, Winter. What would happen then, she had no idea. She was gone for last Year's winter... Maybe there'll be snow on the ground, and night will fall for once? She'd always wondered what Night would be like in the Endless Forest...
... She'll find out soon enough. For now, she'll just rest her head on the ground and watch the Herd before her.
