I want to be like them
But alas, I am too small...
He was given the name Melfice, a strong name to be carried with silent pride. He would be known as a stag just as strong as that name, and just as silent as that pride - and he would be a protector of the weak no matter the amount of kindness in their hearts. But fate left the young one on his own, and the meaning behind his name was not embraced by the lives of the forest. He did not know how to be alone.
How do you show strength?
How do you show courage?
Melfice's wish is only to be worthy.
He will raise his hooves towards any, if doubt is in their eyes, and hope to find acceptance in them whether he loses or wins.
He is not strong.
He is not brave.
He is small.
But he will display such strength, such courage, despite this frustration in his mind. He looks at the trees in the forest, and he is reminded of how very many he has yet to see. His mind will not be put at ease until he has seen them all, and by that time, he hopes to be able to see them as a grown stag.
He needs this goal, in order to move on. In order to protect his Sol, he needs what was taken away from him.
Here is where you will most likely find Melfice:
The ruins, by a small grave.
He will be lying down in front of it, usually. If so, I'm usually present, but I might not be. Be sure to bow down in front of the grave before greeting, or Melfice will be in a foul mood over your behaviour. If you for some reason decide to dance too close to it, he will try to move you with force (if he's too tired, he will leave).
The lake, by the bridge.
Either Melfice is lying down on the bridge, running about around the lake, or drinking from the water.
