The tawny colored youth jumped from in between the trees, his light hooves not making a sound other than the quietest crunch of the amber leaves that littered the forest floor. His eyes shone excitedly, like glittering obsidian. His ears flapped in the wind as he sped along, chasing a bright blue butterfly in the silence of night.
The fawn didn't realize he left the safety and protection of the older deer of his herd, and he leaped along happily. He didn't notice the change in his surroundings, or the hardened ground turning to marshland. He didn't realize the scent of other deer had faded entirely into watery, muddy scents arising from the waterside.
If it hadn't been for the butterfly spindling upwards into the spire-like treetops, the young fawn would've fallen into the stream right in front of him, its banks steeply falling into the dark, forbidding waters below. The youth didn't realize how close he had come to falling into the deep waters, for he was to busy observing the blue butterfly as it spiraled into the moon.
"Come back, I only want to play!" the little fawn called, rearing up on his spindly hind legs, thinking his voice would travel farther. But the butterfly spindled away, out of the poor fawn's reach.
Disappointed, the young male let his front hooves drop to the marshy ground, making a splashing sound under his hooves.
It was then. he realized, he had wandered far from home.
The fawn froze in place, looking down at the churning river waters. His long ears were straight up in fear, his eyes stretched wide. His little tail flicked around nervously as he backed away from the water, stumbling into an oak tree and falling on his light-brown rump. He looked around wildly, searching for any signs of his herd. But, alas, the mud was unchurned, other than the nervous and frantic fawn's own from moments before.
"Mom! Dad!" he called, looking around wildly. Every fawn in his herd knew that good youths never travelled away from their herds, for it was dangerous. He let out a call for his herd, his ears erect as he scanned the night sounds for the soft breathing of his mother and father. But the rushing water of the river made it impossible. His herd never travelled to this place before. Nothing made it familiar.
The youth was lost.
Do you mind if I RP'd with
If yes:
The tiny fawn had watched the other with wide eyes, hiding safely behind a bush. She had slowly trotted out from behind the green foliage, ears pricked forwards in curiosity at the lost fawn. She kept silent though, unsure if he would notice her or not, or if he would just move on like the rest.

The youth looked around wildly, his ears pinned flat. He didn't even notice the tawny doe youth nearby. His head spun with thoughts. How would he get home? Would he ever get home? Would they look for him? The young one scrambled about frantically, searching for scent or sound of his herd. So focused on his frantic search, he collided with the young fawn watching him. He let out a loud yelp and scooted away, eyes stretched wide.

Ariana watched the other with curious eyes, until he came colliding with her. She let out a small squeak and fell onto her hind. Her front hooves rested between her back hooves, head tilting slightly at the fawn. "Are you okay?" Came the young doe's question, barely audible. She stumbled closer to the male, attempting to check for wounds. He was a bit larger than her, but was still young, which told her that they were about the same age.

Ariana almost busted out in laughter. Chasing a butterfly? She forced herself not to laugh as she saw his change of mood. "Oh, that's alright. I can help you." She trotted towards him, giving him a little nudge on the shoulder. "Come on!" And with that, she turned and began to walk off.
Chital puffed out his cheeks,
