[=white][i]I am sure some are aware of what has occurred today. But for those who are not "in the loop" as I have heard said...
My own "stag day" has arrived. Yes, I am no longer a small of stature fawn, but a noble stag, with a great rack of antlers atop my crown. When I awoke this day, I could tell right off something was off. I did not wish to rise immediately, for my head felt heavy to lift. But I finally summoned the will to, noticing things seemed...smaller somehow. The graves that surround this stone structure...no, the ruins...seemed to have shrunk. As I was studying the area, I could not help but notice there were no longer spots on my back. My fur covering my belly seemed a bit darker as well, and longer.
I needed to confirm what I suspected! Jogging past the trees, I noticed, they, too, appeared not quite as large as the previous day. My excitement grew, feeling the first time in years, like a child again. Ironic, really.
But yes. Seeing my reflection in the pond's shallow waters proved I was right. A rare sense of joy overtook me. I had to find those I knew, to join in my celebrating. I did not have to search, however, as a stag and doe I had seen before found me. I was not sure if I had ever met them properly, but they seemed to know who I was and what had occurred, for they began to dance. I could see another growing nearer, though. A stag I know very well.
I once wished to use the strength a noble stag has in order to face this certain dark one.
But it would seem this is no longer the case, for, while they are still dark, even dark by name, I now call them companion.
It still baffles me how this came to be.
Do not get me wrong. I do not admit to liking their dark ways, nor do I partake in them. But somehow they are companionable.
Getting back to my original train of thought, though...

Mighty deer who seems afraid of nothing, why must you run from me?
I am just a lowesom doe wanting to play with someone as great a stature as yourself.
Others say you did something wrong, yet all i see is a deer banished for his mistakes.
Come and play with me brother stag, Why must we fight?

Random thoughts from Vira's point of view that i thought would be good to write down :3


yay for randomness? xD

Prytariel looked at the fawns. She looked at herself in the Pond. She glanced up, and bellowed. Yes, it was a sweet roar. Soon, soon.. a fawn, dancing too near, tripped....

...and they went crashing into the Pond.

Water. Everywhere. Where? No...Fawn..swimming, surfaced..dark. It's certainly dark down here.... she thought, smiling contently. The water tasted clean and fresh. But why did her lungs hurt so much? Why did they ache so? And why was it becoming darker...and darker...and darker......


---

Cloudy eyes opened, head snapped back. Watching deer sprung back as the heroic fawn, having dragged the doe to safety, stepping catiously forward....who was this? A friend? That face did not look friendly....did it? It was smiling, true. The unfortunate fawn happened to have a defect, causing that mouth to twist downwards when a smile grew.

But she knew, just knew it was not a friend. It was IT. She must run. Away. Now.

Bowling over watching and frightened spectators, she began running. What happened? Mind..foggy. Too much effort to think. Hoofbeats. Too much effort to think. Getting closer...

Just act.

Whirling, lashing out, in full flight. Running as if the gods themselves were behind her....

Mist shrouded the Forest today.

This is the human here (who some of you know is Pega ;D), not Bastilion writing. He probably won't write a journal 'til later. Right now he's too amazed to write, and for good reason...

I stand up, slowly. The world looks a bit brighter today, at least from my eyes. Perhaps when one almost loses something, it looks brighter. So I stand, gratefully, breathing in the misty air. It drapes over me like a welcoming friend...but I sense tension. I cannot name it, but I sense it. I shake off the feeling and slowly make my way to the Twin Gods. It is a hard journey, but the exhilaration of finally making it and the realization that I am recovering banishes the thought of any pain.

“Thank you...” The only words I can think to summon. I murmur them, quietly. Thank you for life. For the Forest. For returning me...The words start to sound hollow. I shake off that feeling of doubt again, banish it from my mind. It cannot live here.

I walk back down to the pond and am greeted by a fawn and another deer. I wonder if I recognize them, but I cannot quite put my hoof on it. However, they stay around for awhile. When I sit down, they sit next to me. The warmth of another deer...

I don't remember the last time I felt that.

I sigh in happiness. My wounds are sealing up, but I'm sore, so sore. Everything is aching, but nothing is bleeding. The deer eventually leave my side and I sigh. Their comfort is something that I am missing in these dark times. I move to the bank, feeling the weight of exhaustion. Perhaps the journey had been harder on me than I thought.

I awaken from my nap with a start and instantly feel pummeled by darkness. He is here. That mutated stag, with chains on his hooves. Only the Gods know what he could have possible done to have this happen to him. I stand, painfully, but fight back the sharp horns of darkness in my side. It fades a slight amount. I gather my strength and walk towards the darkness.

Stardust is a young fawn whom nobody seems to notice. She always tries to play with the other fawns, but they treat her as a different creature. All she ever wanted was love, but she never got it. Without it, she slowly turned into a creature of shadow and night. But she still wouldn't give up the dream of love. So she disguised herself as an ordinary fawn...
although she is the complete opposite.

well, I live in Rio de Janeiro, and so everyone knows more about the forest and it's inhabitants, I dedicate this blog entry so we can all share our diverse nacionalities. ESPECIALLY if your brazilian XD. So, to say, we can learn more about the people around here for once! THNKX. Post which country you or your family come from, city is opcional.
