"Do you dream that the world will know your name?"
"There were things that made us wonder who we really were.", the doe spoke. The wind blew past the green feathers that grew from her head. "There were times that we thought we'd give up. But we looked to each other and carried on."
She lowered her head, catching the scent from the blue flowers that grew where she sat. Her body sat peacefully, the blue and white fur caressing the grass as she shifted slightly.
"There were times we wondered why we were here, what our purpose was. We've questioned many times, and more times than not none of us ever got an answer."
She smirked a little, "Well...tonight, I was given one."
The doe looked back up. "They asked me, 'Do you dream that the world will know your name?', and I answered, 'The world may never know the name Zephyr and I will still love it.' They asked, 'Do you care about all the little things or anything at all?', and I replied, 'Not as much as I care about those who have big things in their life."
Her eyes lifted to the sky, "They asked, 'Do you believe in the day that you were born?'. I laughed and said, 'I live, don't I?' They smiled and then asked, 'Well then, do you know that every day is the first of the rest of your life?' I looked to them, and said the words they wanted to hear me say:
'Don't tell me if I'm dying, because I don't want to know. If I can't see the Sun, then maybe I should go. Don't wake me because I'm dreaming of angels on the Moon, where everyone you know never leaves too soon.'"
She smiled, her eyes staring at the Moon. "We'll go there one day, when the Earth doesn't need us anymore. Until then, we are here to live and love the world. It doesn't mean we're not angels yet...after all, the Twin Gods created us all perfectly."
