The morning brought a light drizzle that bathed the deer just slightly. The slumbering deer were not bothered by it, and most stayed asleep, their dreams suddenly becoming more wet than they were due to the damp smell. Another hour passed and the drizzle ceased, though it produced a fog that blanketed the Forest. Slowly everything awoke and came to life - birds began to call and fly around, insects started to chirp, and even a few deer were up and greeting each other. Twenty-One and Demon had already awoken and walked off together, leaving Quad alone by the tree. He slept for a little while longer before awakening and stretching.
He felt different than usual, but he ignored it and made his way to the Pond for his usual morning drink. As he walked, he thought the Forest looked a little...smaller than usual. He also noticed his head was a bit heavier, but he ignored that as well. Making it to the Pond, he saw some other deer hanging around in the distance, but no sign of his adoptive parents. He bent down to the water to drink, and upon raising his head, he looked at his own reflection. Water dripped from his face as he glared at the deer that was looking back at him. His face seemed a bit longer, his chest more full, and he had antlers.
Antlers? He had antlers?!
He was a stag!!
"I'm a stag! I'M A STAG!!", he exclaimed joyfully, hopping around and laughing loudly. The other deer in the area looked at him curiously, unaware that today was his Stag Day. Quad turned and ran, feeling the wind brush through his new antlers. He passed several deer who had just awoken and continued without stopping. He wanted to find his parents, to show them what he had become!
