I awoke and noticed my nephew asleep on the hill. I had heard he had been having trouble recently. He looks so worn and peaceful, all at once, asleep. I used to sit with Lemon like this -- I wonder if she knew? How nice it was, to watch her sleep...Sitting there, watching dreams flit across this young stag's face, I couldn't help but miss my little sister. I've mostly accepted that little pain in my heart when I've thought of her, long before she announced she was gone. So sitting there, trying to comfort a sleeping deer who was once a fawn I took as part of my life...It was a little startling, how it hurt so much and felt so much like being home. I sat there, and watched the horizon change from blue to pink and back again, cycling as if day and knight were passing in the distance, over and over again.
After a while, another younger deer near to my heart arrived -- Dyana, my young apprentice. Shje came skipping up, like a fresh spring wind. I wondered if my journeys with her wopuld mean I would leave my spot -- but then, Aleit rose up to his feet. Dyana looked so surprised! She's still very shy. It took a little coaxing to get her to accept Aleit as a friend. But after that, it was easy to get the three of us to dance. We danced so long that Aleit and Dyana couldn't stay on their feet the whole while, but nodded off. So we settled to sit on the hill, with Dyana cuddled between Aleit and I.
Aleit left after a time, and Dyana and I began to wind our way back to the old forest, where we met another fawn who danced with us. But as the fawn dashed off, I realized it was time that I move on as well.

EDIT; So that's who that darling fawn was! 8D I was wondering why she was so shy~
