Fern Fire’s days as king were very silent. Many deer whispered around saying that the true King would return. But Fern Fire was smart, a bash to the neck could kill any deer. But Fern Fire had his questions and was always wondering where Ginger was at? Since the King was defeated the only thing she should be doing is fallowing him, or something like that?

I started not to matter anymore for him, all that mattered was Prong was gone, and Maria probably went looking for him. He kept his word and the fawn still fallowed Fern Fire. One day as he was walking silently in the forest with The Roar close behind him he smelled a scent. A scent he hadn’t smelled in a long time.

He raised his head “Whisper Wind.”

Her hoof beats stopped as she stood before him. His long lost friend. He had left her so long ago, he had to escape this strange forest and return to the real. But he missed it, and returned to find his once loving friend gone.

“Fern Fire! I knew I would see you again! I have returned! I’ve been looking for you…But sadly I gave up and stayed in the real. I was afraid of the real after a while, afraid that the creatures called…wolves would get me. So I finally returned….to see you…a powerful King,” She gazed at him.

“Things have changed here a lot…,” Fern Fire had to explain to her. That the forest she knew was breaking down, and that the Fawn was some strang visionary, and that he was suppose to rebirth the forest.

“Fern Fire…we’ve talked about this before…The only way to rebirth the forest is…,” Whisper Wind lowered her head.

“You know what I want you to do…don’t you Whisper Wind,” Fern Fire cuddled her.
“Yes.”

/~*~/

Fern Fire knew Whisper Wind had done it. His loving friend risked her life for him, and she did it. Noises of creatures from the real where all about and deer began to feel a feeling they hadn’t felt in along time…Fear. He gathered his people at the preaching rock. He stood there tall his friend Whisper Wind close to him, and the fawn sat behind him.

Deer nervously stared at him whimpering for help. Fern Fire raised his head and looked at them “My fellow deer, the beast you hear are the true Kings of the forest. They have teeth, claws, and deep growls, they have yellow eyes. They hunt us, they eat us…and I can not lie to you about that.”

“Then help us get rid of them,” a deer reared.

“If you are our King why do you frighten us with these unruly beasts,” another cried.

“You do not understand your sins,” Whisper Wind cried.

“Whisper Wind, these deer have done nothing wrong but be steered wrong…Please don’t blame them for what they really didn’t do,” Fern Fire turned at her.

The Roar stood at the crowd and the crowd grown mad, barking, yelling rearing and shaking there antlers. The Roar stood tall and roared “Whisper, Whisper Wind why don’t you let me in from the cold? Come with me you weary people and I will you your wrongs. He leads you to a land, far and deaths at hand for those who do not know what they’ve done wrong. Because it’s starting right where it has ended, who shall be the one to survive. Because his endless rebirth is beginning, who shall be the one to dodge the fire?”

“Fern Fire….what duos it mean,” Whisper Wind cowered.

“It means THEY are here,” He looked down. The rebirth has begun….and who shall be the one to dodge the fire?

“Very well done Fern fire,” a voice deep and malevolent cried out. The deer walked through the crowd…the King was alive. “ I’ve seen you’ve been taking care of my people quit well?”

“How dare you defy the King,” Whisper Wind shouted and him.

“Oh, and his long lost friend Whisper Wind has returned,” King Vin-has smiled.

“Leave this instant Vin-has your rule of King is done,” Fern Fire stomped his hoof.

“You know Fern Fire you and I are more alike than you think. We both hate each other, and we both have a since of power,” Vin-has smiled.

“What do you want Vin-has,” Fern Fire growled.

“I want a war against these creatures and anyone who agrees should fallow me. I’ve seen these creatures, they are nothing like us, they are small and inferior, we can kill them all,” Vin-has yelled.

Deer fallowed his league, chanting his name. “No! Stop, you will be killed! I’ve dealt with theis creatures long ago! They will trap you in a circle and kill all of you! Listen to me.”


/~*~/

The deer had left as many, and returned as few. And Fern Fire was ashamed. Theis deer, theis beautiful bucks, had all became weak. They had scratches all over them, and some lost prongs on there antlers. As for Vin-has he walked around silent.

As days went by there was now sign of Maria, until he saw her grazing by herself in the late evening. He ran to her happy with glee, so happy he cuddled her. “Fern Fire, well I didn’t know you missed me so much?”

“Yes…well…Gah…I might as well not hide it anymore….But I love you Maria…,” Fern Fire stared at her. “ I know you don’t think I should be King that I’m not the one to recreate this forest…but…”

“No…Fern Fire…I believe you should rule this forest with a great passion…But it’s just…I don’t have a great passion for you…You see, I love as a friends…But I never loved you as a mate...I’m sorry, but …I love Prong,” She turned away hurt and ran away.

Never in his life did Fern Fire feel the breaking of his heart.

Whisper Wind slowly came up behind him staring at him…He could feel her stare…

Never had his heart took of the blind fold and saw his true lover.
/~*~/

As days grew on, Whisper Wind and Fern Fire grew close. But Fern Fire still kept his distance still weary of his fate. As one day he was walking by the pond he spotted a group of deer. They stared at him, he ignored there stares and drunk water. He slowly began to walk until the group surrounded him.

It was Vin-has and his old followers “Vin-has let me be.”

“All I want is a rematch,” Vin-has smiled and walked forward.

“A true test of who the real King is,” Vin-has smiled. “And know it can be more even…because guess what, remember when I said we where quite alike? Well let’s see who the real King is, and who can truly say that they have no faults!”
