I saw Touraga the other day... he seemed so happy to see me. I haven't seen him since I was a fawn. I had been walking in the forests when I saw someone running around the cemetery.

I moved close curiously. When suddenly he jumped out from behind a tombstone having me trip and fall onto my back. He trotted over to me "Ayanel?!" he suddenly exclaimed when I stood up slightly embarrassed at what just happened. I looked at him for a moment, only seeing a fawn whose pelt spots where nearly gone. Upon his head, what used to be smaller bumps where now larger with what seemed like bone sticking out of the end. They where small though so I wasn't very scared. Then it hit me. I looked at him more carefully and spluttered out "Touraga?! Is that you!". He looked at me laughed and quickly nuzzled me. "You bet AyAy." he said after he nuzzled me and took a step back. "Have you noticed. There almost all gone!". I smiled as he circled in place showing me. I just nodded and smiled at him.

Then he came up to me and poked my mask "so what's this all about?". I backed away and lowered my head "well... um... it helps me be braver..." I mumbled embarrassed. "Oh really? Does that mean you're over your fear?" He smiled looking at me. I just lowered my head sadly "No... not really... but" I smiled a bit at what I was gonna do. "I can do this" and with that I transformed into a crow.
I don't really know how I had gotten this ability I just woke up one evening and surprise surprise I had been turned into a crow. "Like this I feel like I am not afraid of anything. I mean I don't even look the least bit like myself" I said smiling brightly. Touraga just stared at me the whole time "You can do THAT! I WANNA LEARN!" he exclaimed bouncing in place. I just laughed. "I'll teach you when your older" I giggled as he stopped bouncing and made a face at me. I laughed again.

He then came up to me and poked my chest with his muzzle. "What about that color?" he circled around me getting a good look. "Well I don't know... I just woke up and well... I looked like this..." I looked down hearing how ridiculous I sounded. Yet that's how it happened. Touraga just looked at me and whispered "cool" under his breath. I looked at him awkwardly and he smiled and nuzzled me "I've missed you."

I smiled and nuzzled him back "I've missed you to Raga". We played the rest of the day. I gave him masks and even changed his pelt once. I had so much fun and we ended up sleeping curled up together. I was so glad I saw him again. I hope to see him again sometime soon.
