Chapter 4 - Doe of the Water

She seeped through a hole hidden by the shrubs. The tunnel went deep into the earth, where a cavern opened up. It was dark...very dark, and only her eyesight was capable of sight there. Iugulare reformed her shape, sitting upright as she spoke, "We lost Zenith and the infestation in the woods. The talux are catching on fast."

Something much larger than her formed a face, speaking back, "No matter, that skeleton was a poor excuse for a minion. We have others who can finish the infection of the area." Iugulare nodded, "We'll go to the river next." The larger creature nodded in agreement, and the Stoat at once stretched her body and returned to the tunnel.

Her mind was focused on one thing - Quad. "The prophecy will be fulfilled.", she said to herself, "The Grand Talux will die."

Quad returned to Christine's house, where the two humans were happy to see him return. Furthermore, they were surprised to see the newly formed wing on his back.

"What is that on your back?", Christine asked him. The stag smiled, "It's kind of a long story, but our species grows wings when we reach the peak of our strength. I have been chosen by Mother Doe as the Grand Talux, and I will have four wings once they are regained.", he explained.

There was a slight silence, the two humans taking in this new development. Quad changed the subject, "So what's the word about the townspeople?"

Francis sighed, "More and more are becoming aggressive. I'm afraid there may not be anyone else we can trust in the town." He lowered his head, he hated to see the way things were looking.

Quad stepped toward him and gave him a nuzzle, "Cheer up. Things are starting to go our way, especially with the help of my fellow talux. We'll save the town soon enough.", he said.

INTERMISSION

Well, I've been thinking, and I kind of want Seed to have some more friends or otherwise significant relationships. But I'm bad at identifying people and figuring if they want to be friends with me and getting the initiative to hang with people and so on. So... I figure why not ask around?

His bio, for those of you who don't know him, is here.

So, if you're interested in meeting Seed, just post here with your deer's name and picto and some way we could arrange a meeting or generally keep an eye out for when your deer would be online. Or whatever.

Bio below!

I smiled at Safear as I saw her awake and stretching and said, “Good morning to thee." I too, stretched my legs, for they were still asleep and numb for lying down in the same position for more than just a few hours. My attention then turned to Fleur. With her eyes barely open yet, she got up and spread out her skinny fawn legs and yawned. Then she looked over at Safear and from her expression, I noticed how she thought how different Safear looked from most deer, but that didn't seem bother her. As a matter a fact, I think she admired the way she looked.

"Fleur, this is my good friend, Safear," I said.

"Hello! I'm Fleur. FleuraLune ," Fleur piped to her cheerfully.

Safear smiled at her and replied, "And what a beautiful name it is. I am pleased to properly meet you Fleur."

Then, she quickly snatched it up her mask and yanked it over her face. "Silly me, I left my mask off while I slept," she said rather embarrased.

Fleur smiled up at me and Safear. It warms my heart to see the fawn so happy. I grinned and then asked, "What should we do today?"

Fleur shrugged and looked at Safear.
"Has she been to the playground yet?" Safear asked.

"Nay. Should we go there?" I asked them, but more directly to Fleur.

"Let's go there! Let's go there!!!" Fleur cheered as she was sort of dancing with excitement, shifting from one leg to the other.

Smiling at Fleur, Safear got to her feet and shook the leaves from her feathers. "Then to the play ground we go!" Safear declared.

But before setting off she turned to see if I needed any help, but I just shook my head and motioned for her to lead us. I watched Fleur ran ahead of us both as swift as the wind, jumping over logs in her way. Safear matched my pace, bushing stray twigs and sticks from her path.

The mossy boulders of the playground soon came into view, running up she clawed her way to the top and gave Fleur a sharp smile.
