Bonds. -Dedicated to the whole community, special note for Zero-

I always hugged myself and cried, I even started to fear believing. unable to hang on to his outstretched arms and unable to overcome fate.

The grave was hard, cool beneath him, tears soaking the fur of his cheeks.
"Espen" he sighed, hiding himself, his face against the stone.

"Hmm?"

He raised his head, ears tilting as he looked up in time to watch another being sit at his side, black and white pelt soft against the ground, eyes gazing out from the black mask he wore, blue against black.

And

chopin was silent, looking back.

And still the other deer stayed.

Nevertheless, with a smile you embraced me while I'm like this. And then you taught me, about destiny and courage to live, So I was to become strong and I noticed, that I am not alone

He rose lightly to his hooves, the other deer following.
He offered a shy bow, which was returned.

And the racing began.

The wind sang to him as he ran, lean legs sending him easily over the ground, muscles bunching, tensed as he leaped, a smile tugging at his lips as the other dear did as well.

He stopped, chest easily taking the stress.

He looked to the other deer as it continued to run.

"Come play"

"who are you?"

"it's nice to meet you!"

So many, who were more than eager to keep him company, though they did not know him.

Older deer, young fawns, all of them dancing or merely laying side by side.

"would you like, to dance?"

He looked down at the fawn.

"it's fun, let me show you!" the fawn giggled, running towards a group already beginning.

He paced over, watching awkwardly.

He, didn't dance though...

"C'mon you can do it, you'll like it!"

"come now, give it a try"

He paused, then rocked slowly. faster, then jumped.

Music

He smiled, wide, soft.

It was loud, thrumming in his ears, strings and percussion, woodwind, brass.

He spun, reared with the others.

all of them, even those he did not know, were dancing beside him now, as if they had been friends forever.

Com'on let's go, everyone, turn our hearts into one! overcoming any storm, The voices of the cicadas perform psalms, and now the world opens up its curtains

He laughed, soft yes, but a real laugh.

something he had not done, since he had lost him

they dispersed eventually, rushing off to lay and rest.

He hesitantly curled up beside one of them, smiling, silently he curled up.

And for the first time in a long time, he was truly happy

I don't want to give up anymore, I don't want to lose anyone anymore, Because indeed I kept struggling, Desperately into this new world, Let's believe we know how to start a miracle

Thank you all

Com'on let's go everyone, holding our hands together, overcoming any hardship, when all conditions start shining, the curtains of this new world will rise

no matter how many times I'm reborn, I will always meet wonderful friends
