friends, old and new (Amary's journal)
July 1, 2009 - 9:49am — Siellby
Today, the first thing that happened was, I met a deer who seemed injured. I wanted to help somehow. I followed him. I sat with him. But then he was asleep. And I didn't even get a chance to find out who he was. Or how he got hurt.
After that, Paralda showed up. I followed him up the hill where there were other deer playing. 21 was there, and so was Virgil, although he was just resting for a while at first. Anyway, we were all having so much fun! Just hopping around, and running, and frolicking. There were so many deer! And then we danced! It was great, with all those deer, all in a circle, and it lasted a long time. I was having so much fun I didn't even notice when everyone else had stopped dancing!
Well, then I was walking with Paralda when I saw...an old friend! It couldn't be him, I haven't seen him since I was a fawn! But I approached him, and it was definitely him...the stag known as the Priest. Immediately, memories of my fawnhood flooded through me.
Actually, I had really only met him once. But it was a meeting I will never forget. When I met him, he seemed like any other deer, and I just wanted someone to play with me. But there was...something...about him. I just felt...safe...around him somehow. It was as if I had found something...something I had been missing but without knowing I was missing it. That doesn't really make sense, but...I don't know how to explain it. Well, not only did I have a lot of fun playing with him, but he was so kind and gentle, and he seemed noble and wise. And I couldn't help but feel a great respect for him.
When I saw him again today, I was so happy! I thought it would be just like before. Although Para was there. I...kind of...almost wished I could be alone with my old friend... And...I felt kinda bad for thinking that... But, I couldn't just tell Para to leave. I mean, he's my friend, and I don't want to hurt his feelings. But then I thought maybe the two of them could be friends, too, and that would be nice.
But....it wasn't the same... I wanted to play, like before. But the Priest just looked at me with this sad look, and walked away. I was really confused. I wanted to know what was wrong, so I followed him. I thought if he didn't want to be followed, he would tell me. But when I found him again...he ran off.
I was really sad that he wouldn't let me near him. But...I decided maybe I shouldn't follow him anymore. Maybe he just wanted to be alone. It seems strange to me, but I know some deer want to be alone when they're sad. I just hoped I would see him again when he was feeling better.
So, I played with Paralda for a bit, though I was still feeling kind of sad. Then, we saw Kaoori. And she was with another deer. One of the does I had come across before that ran away from me, on the same day that I met Baal. Well, I thought I should be more careful this time and approach slowly. I was worried Paralda might not understand, and scare her away, but he seemed to take my cue. I could see Kaoori trying to assure this doe that I was okay. But she ended up running away anyway.
That was when I noticed another deer I had never seen before. He stomped the ground when I bowed to him...I'm not sure why.
Well, the white doe came back. And, this time, I was able to get close to her. Para wasn't with me that time. I think he misunderstood when I tried to tell him to stop doing something that I was afraid would scare the white doe away again, because he seemed sad and he went with another deer. I'm sorry, Para. I didn't get a chance to apologize. I'll have to next time I see you. Anyway, I felt kind of bad, but I didn't want to ruin my chance to get to know the white doe. Because, I don't want her to be afraid. I finally got close to her, and let her know I just wanted to be friends, and Kaoori helped with that. After that, she seemed to be alright. I learned her name is Iendoe. I wish I could have spent more time with her. I also managed to get close to that stag I saw before that I mentioned. And he seemed to accept me finally. So, it was a good day for making friends!
I would have stuck around longer, but then, I saw the Priest again. And even though I wanted to play with my new friends, I couldn't keep myself from going up to him. I didn't know if he would run away again. But I really wanted to be with him again. So I walked slowly to him, hoping he would stay, and this time he did. He seemed to be better now. But I could tell he still didn't feel like playing, which was fine. I just sat with him until he fell asleep. I felt safe again, just like before, and happy.

<333 thanks for add Para in
Para wasn't sad... he don't like that the other deer reject him
Paralda told to Amary that did not it have case to continue pursuing to that red deer, that would not want to be accompanied (Sad + No)
<3 thanks for walk with Para.. he loves to walk
Oohh, alright. I guess it
The red deer was the Priest. I understood what he was saying. And Amary got the message, but she really didn't want to leave him, since she hadn't seen him in a long time, and she was afraid she might not see him again after that.
