The large stag rushed through battle upon the large Dandelion Hill. Other deer around him were fighting against the creatures that threatened them.

A creature launched itself upon him and Elijah rolled onto the ground to get the thing off his back, before tossing it back with his large pair of antlers. Eyes ablaze, he kicked at the creature as it lay on the ground before moving on, knowing the creature was no more.

As he cantered onward, his breath shallow from his expended energy, he began to realize how much damage the one creature had done. He could feel the blood dripping down his sides from scratches on his back and legs.

The red-brown stag stopped for a moment to catch his breath before he heard a cry for help. A familiar voice.

Lin.

"Lin!" he called out, rushing through the battling deer to see her being threatened by two of the hideous creatures. Summoning up his energy, he sprinted forward, antlers lowered and he leapt through the air, barreling into one that was in mid-leap towards the doe.

He lurched his antlers upward, sending the creature flying through the air and hitting the ground a few feet away. Elijah turned to face the second creature, which had focused its attention on him now, snarling and spitting. 'Yes, come this way. I'm who you want.' he thought as he backed up a few paces.

A sudden pain burst through his back leg and he let out a loud wheeze, having no noise left in his lungs. The creature he had thrown had now locked its razor sharp teeth into his leg. And the one that was in front of him now leapt and dug its claws into his thick furred neck.

The stag bucked and kicked around as much as could manage, throwing the one off his leg with a kick to the creature's ribs. A shattering of bones sounded as the creature hit the ground and Elijah was sure he wouldn't be up for a long while.

The other creature was still grasping to his neck for dear life but Elijah dislodged it with a rear and a kick with his front legs. That one wouldn't be getting up either.

Elijah's vision blurred as he turned to look at Lin, seeing she was alright. Blood trickled from his wounds, sliding down his fur and caking his fur a red color.

Finally, Elijah collapsed of exhaustion, the last thing he seeing was Lin's face over his own, a worried expression covering her face.
