She woke up from her long sleep and was hungry so she ate some mushrooms. She took a drink of water from The Pond and tried to waterwalk. She eventually got bored and met a fawn. This fawn looked like it was new to the forest so she greeted the fawn nicely. This fawn however was confusing, it did not seem to like Natali and seemed to want to attack her rather then make friends. Natali didn't know what to do and she was only a fawn so she really didn't have the strenght to get in a fight. She warned the fawn and went back to The Pond. The fawn followed her there. Natali was starting to panic! She went to the Twin God Statues hoping the fawn wouldn't follow her and met a group of fawns and deer there. The fawn had followed her and was yelling for something. Natali ignored this as she saw two deer, a mini and an adult. They had skull masks! Natali backed away. She walked away from the group and then sniffed the mini. They seemed friendly enough and Natali calmed down. They had even taken their skull masks off! Natali smiled at this then heard yelling from the Twin God Statues. Natali sighed and walked back there and what she had guessed happened. The fawn was yelling for a pelt. Natali didn't want this fawn to disturb other dear so she gave him a white pelt. She then bowed and he bowed back. "Hmm, this little fawn looks like he just needs some attention." She thought. She then said good bye to the forest and slept.

There are days when something just seems different. The hair on the back of your neck stands up, every noise makes you jump. You can’t tell what it is, but you know something is about to happen.
It was one of those days for Teradeer.
Moonlight shone down into the forest, dancing on the coat of a lone deer. An eerie breeze rushed through the trees rustling the leaves and causing a shiver to run up the spine of the deer. It walked slowly, ears set on a swivel. Something just wasn’t right. The deer didn’t even know where it was going, almost as if it was in a sort of dream-like state.
Every slight movement caused a twitch of muscle or a slight jerk of the head to the tense deer. It lifted up it’s head to draw in a breath of air, to catch a whiff of the wind. A strange scent made it’s brow furrow.
Almost against it’s will, the deer found it’s feet carrying it towards this strange scent to investigate.
The scent lead the deer up a winding path that wound up the side of a steep hill. The deer had a fleeting hope that what ever it found would be worth the climb. As it neared the top of the tall hill, the scent became stronger; it expected to come across the source of the smell shortly.
It didn’t expect that scent to find it first, though
Jumping seemingly from out of nowhere came a large, black wolf. In one spring, it flew out of the sheer darkness and into a ray of moonlight directly in front of Teradeer. It sported a toothy grin of gleaming, white teeth.
Teradeer jumped slightly as the predator jumped into it’s view. Although, the deer wasn’t terribly frightened by it; it had seen worse than a wolf. The deer held it’s head a little higher and peered down it’s nose at the canine.
The black wolf didn’t seem uneased at the lack of reaction.

There was supposed to be the song. That wonderful song they always sang. The high but wonderful notes in the sky, as they flew in the azure ceiling of the world. The azure blue always went beautifully with their bright red feathers.
But the song was not there this time. Only the eerie wind. He peeked out, looking for them.
Little did he know, him and his siblings were separated from their parents, forever.
He looked out at the beyond, the beyond he never saw or touched with his talons. He slowly climbed to the edge of the nest. The eerie wind blew though his unfledged body, giving him chills. Then... chirping. Where was it? Were they back? He turned around, but the song faded away, and they were not back. He slowly turned away and out of the beautiful forest that lay in front of him.
The song came back. He whipped his head back to see his siblings watch him fall, falling to the ground. He screeched, flapping his wings, but he fell, not flew. He landed, sending dust everywhere.
He was... alive. He was hurt from the fall, but he was alive. How did this happen? He was not supposed to fly until his feathers grew. But he fell. Not on accident or purpose.
Now, not only was he separated from his parents, he was now separated from his family.
He heard rattling. Why? Why instead of a song, he heard eerie wind and rattling? And now he heard a snarl, and teeth. Then another snarl, mixed with the sound of blood spilling. Pain. Blood. A hurt screech. Then the yelling. He closed his eyes. Would he die here? Would he never get to fly, to feel the wind blow though his feathers?
He opened. He saw no more teeth, he saw a creature, who looked down at his body. Blood, gushing out of his side. He whipped his head to look. He saw his unfledged body covered in blood, and his wing covered in blood, dangling from his body. He screeched in pain as the creature picked him up.
His wing, separated. Everything was separated.
Hours later, he awoke.
