The forest laid silent as the comforting blanket of darkness covered it with it's soft satin sheet. Everyone was at peace and resting comfortably for the night. The only sounds being those of the occasional night animal making it's rounds and the resounding hoot of an owl here and there. The moon shone brightly this night, it's radiant beams extending accross the canopy of trees gently caressing the leaves closest to the sky. She ran her fingers through them like silky hair. A soft breeze blew through the trees towards the birch forest weaving through tall skinny trees of ashen coloured bark and few foliage before resting in the tall slender yellowing grass of this part of the forest. The moon's light concentrated here in a tight beam. Small snowy particles danced around the light as something small materialized.

It was a small fawn of a dark brown colour with white speckled upon it's pelt. The face of an infant, soft and calm. Round blushing cheeks, a small pouty mouth and a tiny speckle of a nose. Although his eyes were closed they were quite big with long lashes. His face was a light cream colour and stood out against it's dark body as it laid curled in a deep slumber. The moon gave him a small peck on the forehead before retreating back into the sky; another one of her children would be left at the mercy of this forest.

The small fawn barely stirred from it's slumber. When he finally greets the light of day he will be all alone in the world with only fleeting glances of his mother during the few scarce nights. He will be defenceless and spend night curled up by his lonesome wondering why he has not a warm companion to make him feel safe while he sleeps. However for now he rests peacefully under the soft loving embrace of the moon on his final night with her.
