So Nova (Rodentia/Rodent) met back up with Ephra (Twenty-one/21) today. I have a ton, a TON, of screenshots, but I'm not putting them up here, I figure Ephra has some screenshots too, I just have too many to pick from xD. Also, Nova could be an adult deer if she wanted to, but she rather likes to stay a fawn . ... Okaaay...first diary entry, here we go!

Ephra and Nova
--------------------


A calming breeze swept over the forest today. For some weird reason, the forest was very quiet this afternoon. For a while, anyways. I do very much wonder how I certainly came to be here. My memory's all blur... I just found myself, waking up here one day. Right now, I can't even remember where I first found myself waking up. ...I do remember one of the first living creatures I met in this strange world, though. It seemed to me that it was a kind-hearted doe, I'm not sure what species of deer, but what does it matter? I'm positive it was the same species that I had I found myself waking up as.

A green leaf gently fell down from a tree, fluttering wherever the breeze took it. Today I found myself being woken up by that leaf. It gently floated down onto my snout, it gave me quite in itch. I twitched my nose, it would not budge. I moaned at having to wake up, but it was past mid-day, so I had to. That leaf was just telling me to get up. I lifted my head from my curled-up position. I stood up, yawned, stretched my front legs, then my hindquarters, and shook myself. I watched the leaf gently float down to the grass, obviously not bothered by me shaking it off, in fact, it floated down even more gracefully than before. Though, how could I possibly know, I was asleep.

I walked over to the graveyard, and stared at tomb which was buried halfway into the ground. Looking towards the cage, I was quite surprised to find that same doe, the first creature that I had ever met, sleeping. There were a few other deer there too, I can't remember exactly what they looked like, though. The doe was brown with a creamy-brown underbelly, exactly how I remembered her. I walked over to her, and laid down besides her. I only sat down for a few seconds before I saw her breathing go heavier, and she woke up.

I stood up alongside her, watching the two other deer - at least I think it was two. The next few things that happened I can't quite remember, but I remember - oh, what do they call it, enchanting? Yes, enchanting some deer, changing their so-called "masks". I noticed a deer sleeping, and decided to cast a few pelt spells as well. I remember listening with the doe on top of a wall-like structure, and the next thing that I remember was two deer dancing on that structure, on a higher part of it though. I tried to change the mask of a skull-faced deer, but he was gone before I knew it. I'm not sure if this happened before or after, but the doe, a fawn, and I played with a wall. Our rumps stuck out, and we did funny gestures, it's too bad nobody else came by though, we could've scared them. The next thing that happened...err...ack. I can't remember. I do remember being in a dancing line with that same doe and maybe five other deer? Yes, five I think it was. Both adults and fawns. An enchanting melody played inside my head, and got louder as more deer joined in.

I saw a great oak, a giant oak, I couldn't see the top of it, but it was huge! I had been following that doe around the whole day, but then I decided to check out that large tree. I saw antlers through a crack, and stuck my head through the crack. Squeezing through the crack, I saw a deer sleeping. A weird, rather frightening, sound came into my head at that time, and I felt something was wrong with that deer. Either way, I placed both an antler spell and a pelt spell on him before running back to that doe. I gestured for her to follow me, she did. We both examined the tree together, she walked slowly in, but I trotted - rather slowly, though - in. I laid down, heard a sound in my head, got up, and casted a pelt spell on the deer. She titled her head, sneezed it off, and examined the deer inside of the oak. After a few moments, I squeezed out of the crack. It was funny when she got out - she seemed to have a problem doing it. I played with the trunk of the tree a bit, the doe laid down, and I laid down with her.

The next thing I remember that happened, was that we were in another dance line - a larger one than before. After that, we were playing with some more deer. Then a deer with that dog-like pelt on, I forgot what type of antlers, but that deer had those purple hairs on its head. I felt something strange about it, but then another deer showed up. The doe seemed to know it, but I sure didn't. Then all three of us laid down together. The doe fell asleep, and I fell asleep soon after her. That's all I can remember about today. I hope I can uncover how I came to be here, here at the forest. Someday...somewhere...sometime...
