Animals scurry, and whisper around the forest. It was a small, soft breeze that slowly swept the forest. Even though the forest normally had such infinite weather, the breeze had a readiness to it. As though something was about to happen, many of the deer who felt this way gathered around the pond. They where filled with wonder and simple fun, as they trotted around the shore of the pond.
Many of the deer sat still and enjoyed the breeze as others drank water and enjoyed the excitement. Emiva sat on the bridge observing the deer that frolicked far away. She was very uneasy, unlike the others. Vessel saw her and her weary look and walked silently towards her. His strange appearance caught Emivas’ eye immediately.
“Vessel, it’s you,” Emiva shifted her head.
“Indeed,” Vessel kept his head down staring at the ground with great concern.
“Well, I’m not sure of you’re the most affable person to talk to. But, in any case, have you happened to feel the wind blowing in the forest today? Isn’t it strange? It’s like something is warning me telling me to go? Like some hidden existence inside me,” Emiva cocked her head.
“Your scruples are nothing but concerns for the weather. Not for today, or the others,” Vessel sat beside her. His fur was thick and warm against Emivas’ thin fur. Sadly, her thick coat wasn’t coming in. So the wind was quit unpleasant on her skin.
“Are you sure Vessel? I mean don’t you have feelings like this too,” she sighed.
“You’ve had a lot on your mind since your friend…well you understand. You must rest, and you must stop worrying,” Vessel said solicitously. “The twin gods protect and guard this forest from any unnatural being, or any other things. The only thing that is accepted to enter our forest is the animals and the wind.”
