Time passed and I grew strong, forgetting the fear of this place for now all it was a stain upon my heart. At first I was terrified when I first saw the strange creature, I ran far till I came to a pond. Only to find the same creature, smaller with the look of innocent fear staring back at me from the reflection of the crystal pond. I stood dumbfound splashing about in the water and then staring at it trying to understand why the creature seemed to slip from my hooves, to then learn what a reflection was. And realize what I was. It seems strange to be what I am... As if I wasn't this... As if I might have been something else like a dove or a crow. After awhile I grew brave and began to watch the... Others. They seemed friendly and cheerful and I soon joined them in there strange games of jumping about, as if flying and climbing trees. I never can figure out how they jump up into the trees. I try each time to find them giving off an infectious laughter. However it was not the only strange thing they went about doing. It happened often enough, as if it was the most normal thing to do... But they could change. Most of the time they would shine brightly and make another deer shine by pointing at them and the next instant they would be a different pattern or color. Sometimes there faces changed, or there antlers. I feared this and ran every time they had done it, but just like I had befriended them, I joined there antics. Soon after going to trees and mushrooms, we would point at each other and give each other the strangest looks at fall to the ground laughing as a fellow in the group would become green with a long red and white mask and horn antlers. Yes. I soon forgot my fears and joined there antics of running about. As time went I began to notice some of the fellows I hung out with would change, one day they were small and tiny making roaring sounds. Then suddenly, the next day they would return larger, with a dark brown felt and antlers.

The first thing that I felt, was warmth and a subtle breeze brushing across my pelt. I twitch, awakening to this new world, to this new body. I would flick my ears, my tail, gathering my thoughts. Who was I? Where was I? How? Thoughts pranced around my mind, confusing me. To escape the whirl wind of thought, I tried doing more. I moved a hoof, a hoof was it? I moved my head up, dizzy from how quickly I moved. Everything was black still... Light.. Shouldn't there be light? Where was it? I moved a bit more, confused at the darkness of it all, till I found it. My eyes would open, blinded by the sun shining through the trees. Making dappled patterns upon the cool grass. A new world, new things, new words formed in my head, I stared in awe of my surroundings. As far as I could see, were trees and knolls, endless it seemed. I became adventurous, sniffing my surroundings learning the new smells, listening and watching. I stumbled about new things like log, flower, stone, seemed to sprout like the plants I saw all around me. I went from stumbling, to walking, to running through the vast expanse over joyed by this perfection. I grew wary and soon found a hallowed tree, it was large an ancient looking I began to wonder... Where had this all came from? The perfect and beauty... It all seemed great but... I couldn't grasp why this was all here. Like there should be something else. I sat and watched everything, trying to understand it all.
