The Guardian
November the Twenty-third
Familiar faces everywhere, but not a sound to make.
May the Thirteenth
It's been a few days now, hasn't it? I apologize for my lack of activity in the forest as of late- many things have come up and there has been no time to observe. On the Ninth day of the Fifth month, I wandered the forest aimlessly and without much motivation. My eyesight played tricks with me throughout the day... again. I'm afraid I might become deaf to my visions one day- but I pray it won't be soon. The trees seemed to dance around me for a while when I rested in the tall grasses on Red Hill. They mocked my tiredness and let their leaves play on my antlers. It was all in good fun, though.
It seems there is another Guardian in the forest- his name is Makoto. He is a rather proper creature, apologizing for most things and seemingly passive... but I am not one to judge, and I am certainly in no position to be mentioning him in such way. His antlers curve backwards over his neck like a ram, but how does he carry the poppies upon his crown? I hope to meet him soon in this world- perhaps he we have something we can teach each other. I pray our first meeting will be on good terms, not in anger like most of my encounters. I feel... strange... about this new 'Guardian'. Does he know?
It's late again. I have to go.
May the Eighth
I've been here a while now. Just watching the forest and it's whisps pass by me like I do on any other sun thrown day. I found myself in the Birch Forest again- alone. The shade was welcoming to my dark pelt as refuge from the harsh heat. It's nearly the beginning of Summer, I noticed, and it's starting to show. The rain a few sunrises ago was soothing to the ears and the mind. I enjoyed seeing the forest in such a downpour. Other deer seemed to like it too. Today I heard Aeis' hoof falls in the distance. She seemed to be with another deer, perhaps a large stag by the sound of his hooves, but I could not be sure of it. They ran too far away for me to hear them anymore. I wonder if she's happy. It's been a while since I've seen her last- she hasn't come to visit me lately.
I had a run in with a skull faced stag earlier. His curved antlers shone like wicked snares in the sunlight. He attempted something that I had never thought would happen in this peaceful forest- to steal my mask. He was quiet in his approach, but I had already heard him. The black tendrils of smoke crawled over my cheek... I could feel them as they wrapped around my face. It spooked me and I jumped up, casting a spell on him in defense. He seemed angry, but I was with equal anger. A taunt and a bow where all we exchanged during our meeting. I left him there, trotting away to another part of the Golden Forest to rest. Now, for the first time, I didn't want to close my eyes.
At the moment, I find myself next to a stag I have rarely ever seen before. He has an 'x' shaped scar across his nose, I'd say something to him or ask him where he received the scar, but I am hopeless with starting new conversations. For now, I suppose we will just lie in the Birch Forest and let the birds do our talking for us. That little fawn with him is very adorable as well. Today I find myself adding a lot to my entry- I'm not used to this much interaction. I learned that the red stag's name was Virgil, and that he had a son, Lucian, whom I later met. Lucian's pelt is unlike anything I have ever seen before, I wonder if he suffers from the heat like I do. He is a very kind stag and I feel rather foolish for darting away from him so quickly after I first saw him.
Aeis found me again, perhaps she knew I was thinking about her. She came with a large red stag this time- the same one that she had run off to before when I saw her last. His curling white antlers made me wary, as I've had many run ins with those before. He only stood before me, not a bow nor a single sniff where exchanged between us. Virgil had fallen asleep and Lucian was gone, so I left Virgil with Aeis and went off to find his son. The dark pelted stag wasn't far away when I found him. We danced a bit with a white doe and had ourselves several laughs before I realized the time. I was not allowed to stay this late in the forest. He would not allow it. I bid farewell to Lucian and the doe and fell asleep almost instantly. I'm cutting it close now. Discipline begets Freedom.

"Let me not to the marriage
Admit impediments. Love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove:
O no! it is an ever-fixed mark
That looks on tempests and is never shaken;
It is the star to every wandering bark,
Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken.
Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
Within his bending sickle's compass come:
Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
But bears it out even to the edge of doom.
If this be error and upon me proved,
I never writ, nor no man ever loved."
-Sonnet 116; William Shakespeare
