"Good morning!", Axie said with a smile on his face.
The other three - Mazey, Zephyr, and Quad - woke up, shaking some of the fallen leaves from their fur before standing and stretching. Quad had decided to sleep with them at the Crying Idol instead of his old pillar at the Ruins ever since the day he had wings. "Today's the big day!", Axie exclaimed.
"I bet you're excited.", Mazey replied, and the fawn shook his head eagerly. "Dad, can we go to the pond real quick?", Zephyr asked. Quad nodded, "As always.", he said. As the father and daughter made their way to the pond, Mazey started grooming her son. "Mom! My stag day is coming up, I can take care of myself!", Axie cried. "I know," Mazey replied, "but you don't want to look messy before you leave."
Quad and Zephyr drank the pond water, both almost looking like the same deer if it wasn't for their different antlers. Zephyr had taken up many of her father's qualities, and she couldn't have been happier to be his daughter. "So did you ever think about asking the Twin Gods if you could fly...?", she began, but caught herself. She wasn't supposed to talk about it. Quad eyed her as he drank. They were lucky no one else was around to hear it.
"Sorry.", she whispered, and the father smiled slightly, "It's okay...and yes, I have." Zephyr's face brightened, and she began to wonder if she and Axie would have wings.
The sun was just over the treetops on the particularly beautiful mid-October day. The air was beginning to cool, and the deer loved how the Forest was changing to fit the season. It had been a few weeks since the day Quad had the wings, and none of the deer suspected anything happened other than the fact that they had pleasant dreams.
...No I'm still a fawn
