I have met him before, and though his visage made me nervous at first, he does not seem like a bad fellow. The one I mean is he who, I believe, is known as Ankoku.
As I said, he does not seem like a bad fellow. So I was rather surprised when I saw him atop the hill of the Twin Gods, seemingly attacking the statues. He was quickly joined by another, whom I do not remember having seen before. His appearance was one that I also found...unnerving.
The gods of this forest...are they not kind? I have always felt calmed whenever I am near them. Their presence, to me, always felt reassuring. I suppose this is not true for everyone. But, even so, I could not imagine what these gods might have done to inspire such anger.
Whatever the reason, this behavior did not seem appropriate. Surely this would only anger these gods. And as I have respect for them myself, I could not stand by and let this happen. I climbed the hill and asked the two of them to stop. They refused. I moved closer. I began to pray, asking the gods to forgive these two, even as they continued their assault. As I finished my prayer, my pelt turned white, a sign that they were listening, and I felt a small bit of power, the ability to pass on the blessing granted by the gods. I thought perhaps this would help them, calm their anger, allow them to feel the same feeling that these statues inspired in me. I only thought to help.
But I was wrong. Casting the white pelt, the pelt of purity, upon them, served only to upset them. Sir Ankoku seemed to struggle with it, while his darker companion simply rejected the pelt, turning his anger against me. As his body rose into the air, giving him the brief appearance of an angry giant, I shook. When he lowered his antlers in my direction, I could only back away, still trembling. Even Sir Ankoku, after the white pelt had worn off him, returned to lower his own antlers at me. I was both saddened and frightened. I feared being hit by those hooves or those antlers. I am smaller than they are, and I am not strong. My body is not built for fighting, and even if it were, I would not fight. I refuse to attack. Just as I refused to defend myself then. Instead I cowered and backed away. The darker stag was clearly the more aggressive one, pushing me back until he was finally satisfied with my distance, although he never actually struck me.
But it was not only the fear of injury that caused me to shake. It was more the actions in themselves, the rearing, the threatening. The aggression of others has always frightened me, even when they are directed at someone else...even when those same actions are meant more in jest or play, they still make me shiver. Fighting especially scares me. It's almost as if it...triggers something, something hidden deep in my memories.
As I was saying, the darker stag seemed satisfied after I had backed away enough. And then he turned around, and the both of them continued their assault upon the statues. But I was not going to give up. How could I defend the gods of this forest, only to run away in fear? How could I face them if I were to simply give up? What would they think, what would others think, if I ran away then, while these two continued their assault? No, I had to try again. This time, I stood in front of the statues. I stood in between them and the two stags. I risked injury, hoping that this would make them stop.
I think the darker stag either gave up or lost interest. Sir Ankoku remained a bit longer. I turned and bowed to the gods, apologizing for his and the other stag's actions, and then began to pray again, asking once more that they be forgiven. Although, when I lowered my head to pray, I thought Sir Ankoku seemed nervous, as if he thought I was going to cast the white pelt on him again. So I rose, telling him I would not do it again, after seeing that it did nothing but upset him. I watched him as he turned and walked away, noticing that he appeared saddened, though I don't know if it was regret or something else.
I will have to ask Sir Ankoku about his motivations the next time I see him. But for now, I grow weary, and I must rest.

Besides Ankoku, the other stag mentioned is Wesker. Oisin has never seen him before and has no knowledge of him.
Wow... That is really
Poor Oisín... though I'm glad that he at least found enough courage to stand up to them however~

Anko was saddened because he
He was taking it out on the Twin gods...for one thing he's always felt a strong dislike for them..but perhaps its because hes a monster?
