.....:Twas' one of the moments, as of late, that I've felt the most at peace with myself in quite awhile. I fell asleep among giant flowering plants, with a sight of confetti filling my head before I drifted to sleep. I felt warm, and peaceful as I let my dreams take centerfold, although a slight warmth always held me near. Perhaps it was that one fawn, a quivering body that slept nearby as well, that kept me so content. A white fawn...with red flowers crowned upon it's forehead. I remembered this fawn from somewhere...it reminded me of the willow fawn which followed me into the treetops. I must say I was reluctant to stir, as to disturb the sweet innocence that slept ever near. Surely this fawn has changed something within me, and I hope to spend more time with the youth as to protect it from the dangers of this forest. I've never felt so unsure as to whether and wake from the world of dreams.





.....:Flashing lights. Sounds. Mooing coming deep from the bellies of other deer. Lights flashing everywhere. I awoke, startled, my head spinning. A skew of deer ran past me, and I nearly fell. Gods. I regonized the title, somewhere within my head shouted the word. Gods. I ran. I shot all the energy into my body and sprinted towards the sounds, the laughing, the music.











.....:After the so called...party...ended...I flew about in the deep fog, enjoying the thick air as if camoflauged me from other deer. There is something about it that I enjoy greatly, I feel as if nobody can punish me for rude actions...and that of such.... I feel as if when flying through the fog, I am...the moon...




.....:After I awoke, a few days later, I wandered aimlessly towards the so dubbed, 'Ruins'. It had been awhile since I lingered here, and I decided to wander about the graves, and attempt to comprehend what seemed to be inscribed upon them. It seemed a bunch of specific pictograms...but some were repeated....and I couldn't seem to understand any of it. Perhaps if I study them further....
Hoofbeats.
.....:I turned my head sharply, my ears perked and my body stiff. "Miss...Poltergeist..." I whispered, finally spotting the leaping doe not far from where I stood. I bolted towards her, greeting her with a tender nuzzle. I perked my ears afterwards, noticing that she seemed to run from the company she was previously with in order to great me. I chuckled beneath my breath. "I don't mean to drag you from your company, Miss." I nodded, motioning her to follow me back to the deer, which now sat upon a hill peacefully.
.....:When I arrived near the top of the hill, I bowed my body deep in the direction of the deer, which held a bird like mask, small dark antlers, and a contrasting raven and snow colored pelt. They seemed rather reluctant to approach, which I fully understood. After all, if was almost looking at myself in actions like staring into a pond's reflection. Though, it didn't take long before we became aqainted, and fell to the usual forest antics.
.....:Something stirred, and I quickly looked towards the sound with my heart skipping a beat in the process. I bolted, hiding behind a tree near the peak of the hill. That deer....I noticed...how did they become so small? Had I, once again, bolted from such a silly little trait? I approached the orange pelted doe, finally urging my body to introduce myself. They were kind, gentle, and did the same thing. I couldn't believe how ignorant I was, to once again run away from the slight-statured deer.




.....:Deer came and went, occasionally stopping for a bit longer to socialize with the group that seemed to remain. Miss Poltergeist, the Bird-like deer, and I, all eventually sat down, growing tired as the temperature slowly began to rise in the forest. Spring, I've come to call it, is quite the relief of a season, to say the least. It seems the Gods here grow tired of the cool breath which the forest's inhabinants scoff, and the snow finally stops falling.
......:Then, Miss Poltergeist chose to sit near me, her fur swaying ever slight from the breeze which occaisonally swept throughout the forest. I shifted, I felt as if she was just to far away, but I knew that it may be awkward to scoot closer. I wished for that warmth that she had given me when I awoke in the sunbeam awhile ago. I grinned, feeling a rush of red envelope my facial structure. Slowly, I eventually turned my head to face her, trying not to disturb too much of the peace which the group of deer had managed to implant. Finally, I whispered beneath my breath, a barely audible sentence which surely the other deer couldn't pick up on. After speaking, I turned away suddenly, standing upon my feet. I began to bow to each deer in company, apologizing for my sudden absense. Finally, I turned to Miss Poltergeist.



.....:I felt like such a silly fawn, of some sort, when I nipped at her ear with a slight amount pressure, just enough to get a reaction from her. I laughed softly, before placing a kiss upon her cheekbone, and bowing before I left. I grinned as I left the forest, her beet red face and expression holding my smile upon my face as I drifted to sleep.




.....:When I awoke, the sun shone down on the forest more than I had experienced in a long time. It wasn't overbearingly warm, but it didn't sting anymore to run against the wind or to place a hoof in the pond. The air smelt of budding flowers, poppies, I'm sure, and of the grasses in the near birch forest starting to grow. I sniffed the air, the smell of poppies growing stronger even though I hadn't even taken a step. The fawn. That same fawn, which had followed me into the willows, who had slept so peacefully next to me as I dreamt beneath a storm of confetti. I rushed towards them, bowing deeply, and nuzzling the fawn. It was hard to contain myself from running quickly, or making my moments extravagent, as I knew this small fawn was quite skittish. We went for a quick jog, enjoying the fresh spring day, before I decided to test the forest's magic. We both ended up near a tree, which dropped pinecones at the slightest nudge. I managed to catch one, crushing it between my teeth before casting an antler spell suddenly at the fawn. I was overjoyed, when I found they weren't scared of such. In fact, I oculdn't surpress a chuckled which passed my lips when the little fawn held a pair of fin-like antlers. They giggled, and I soon let my chuckle cresendo a tad more. Once again, I tested the magic of the forest, giving another spell to the fawn. This time, they held a pair of high, golden antlers that branched off the the sides in a suddent swoop. We went about this for awhile, the fawn not managing to cast anything onto my own self. Perhaps it was....mi luna...who decided that this appearence would be permanent. But after time passed, I felt my body grow drowsy, and needed to leave the forest. I nuzzled the fawn, apologizing with my actions in great distained. They saddened, and my heart sank. "I apologize...I will return soon." And with that, I felt into sleep once again.
