I woke up. My body shuddering from my dream..then I realised i was safe, In the endless forest. I inhaled the earthy scent of the great oak tree around me and snuggled back into my mossy bed when I realised something. Everything around me was dark, and so was outside. What had happened? Was it the end of the world? I peeked my head out from under my sleeping spot and I heard noises of deer about the forest..I cautiously crept out from under the tree and looked around, my muscles tensed, ready to bolt at the snap of a twig, the glimpse of a predator. A robin flew over my head and perched on a branch, singing its song. It was safe..but what was wrong with the sky, it was now pitch black? I walked my way through the forest slowly when something darted out of the bushes. I stared at it, it looked like a wolf but it was smaller. It had red fur like the trees in autumn on its back, a long thoughtful muzzle, a bushy tail which was white tipped, as was its ears. And its eyes were a startling green, like the shiny back of a dragonfly. It had a glowing symbol above its head, so I knew it was highly thought of by the gods. It performed a little bow and I bowed back , then I was suddenly aware of another fox climbing out of the bushes to stand next to it, her fur was more orange and her eyes were like two yellow orbs. The nuzzled eachother then ran away into the forest as I ventured on. I was vaguely aware that I was heading in the direction of the pond and i soon arrived to see many deer calmly bathing in the waters. I settled down by the edge of the pond, gazing at it. There was little yellow, gleaming dots flittering over the pond and zipping around over the lillypads. I then turned my gaze skywards, the sky was black and littered with shiny white dots, I looked further and there was a massive circle shining brightly, its silvery rays reaching down and touching the water.
" I suppose your wondering what they are, aren't you little one?

I had been in these woods for several days now, I knew where everything was and I was sure there was NO danger whatsoever. It was a warm day and the sun beat down making me feel hot and bothered under my fur so I went looking for some water, the pond had already been infested with stags so I went galloping off to the waterfall, it was beautiful, the dozens of poppies scattered around it, they reached toward the sun.. whilst the calming sound of the blue waters trickling down into the stream made it a peaceful place to drink. I slowly lowered my mouth to the water and quenched my thirst when I was aware of a shadow looming over me...I slowly turned and cried out! I bolted straight into the waterfall and let it gush down onto me, over my fur and trickle down my face.
What I had seen was....Well i couldn't be sure...Maybe if I just looked -or peaked?
I peered through the transparent waters and saw it. It was a stag, and it was terrifying, but also amazing. Its wolf-like grey fur was matted in clumps that dangled below its belly, on its sides and hooves part of the skin and flesh has been torn out by some kind of beast, showing its white bones in the light. Its horns were red and fleshy and it was wearing a mask which was...the skull of a deer.
I was sure it was going to eat me but I had to be brave, I had to.
I took a long breathe....and charged at the stag. It took one look at me through its hollow eyes..then fell over laughing. I couldn't understand...then I looked at myself. My fur had turned bright red! I too, fell over laughing and the stag came over to me. If he wasn't so tall I could of looked into his glowing pictogram and read his name. His figure loomed over me and he bent down and nuzzled me carefully with the tip of his mask then he turned and ran, And I ran with him. We galloped through the woods, over the slopes, through the fields of flowers until we came to the ruins.

How do you get the picture of your deer's pictogram on the account page to come up with your own deer pictogram?
I've tried clicking it ..alot.

I stood frozen to the spot, all the muscles in my body were tensed. My hazel brown eyes were wide looking like little hazel pools. I couldn't beleive it, infront of my was a forest..and it seemed endless. My little hooves struck the ground and I moved off at a run my powerful hind legs working away as i tore across the grass.

I stopped, staring at my new discovery...
A beautiful pond , hidden by trees was infront of me. Its dark blue waters were dotted with lillypads, the lillies flowers had opened their long white and pink petals stretching out for the sun. Green and blue dragonflies darted about, their transparent wings glimmering in the rays of the sun that found their way through the dense canopies. Around the edge of the pond were willow trees there long branches drooping down towards the water.
I suddenly realised how thirsty I was, I plunged forwards and lowered my head to the water, drinking. It tasted clear and refreshing.

Thats when I heard it. The hoofbeats in the distance, my ears swivelled around catching the sound, the hoofbeats got louder and the water on the pond began to ripple. My eyes were staring wide in amazement as several deer charged out from the forest straight past me and onwards. I was lost and confused and decided to follow them, they were pretty fast but I had all the enrgy of a newborn fawn and I caught up with them as they stopped to rest in a fairy circle.
The nearest to me was quite a small deer, it had a red pelt and peacock feathers seemed to be growing 'naturally' from around its skull, it turned its head towards me and I realised it was wearing a mask. It was the face of a human woman its lips poised in an 'O' shape, its cheeks blushed. I looked up and tried to read the pictogram above its head, I couldn't understand the word completely. The small deer stepped forwards and nuzzled its neck against mine, then bowed. I bowed to.

The fawn dips its head, its human like lips pulling and chewing the grass. The sun rays break through the dense canopy above it warming up its white-speckled brown fur, it pauses, lifts its head up towards the sun. Then you can see, the face of a human child with the body of a fawn. A twig snaps in the bushes and its long ears shoot up. The fawn readys itself, all the energy tensed in its body. Then the beast leaps from the bushes, snarling, the energy in the fawns body is released and it bolts off into the woods that seem endless....to safety.
