I woke up from a chilling noise. The howling... It seemed to be everywhere... Who was that? I Stood up and streched my legs. Last night's storm passed and left a thick fog behind. I could barely see through it. Although my senses told me that there were noone exept other Deer around. But Deer don't howl! Weird.
Than I realised that something was different. Oh the Twin Gods! I fell asleep as a fawn, but I woke up as a full-grown Deer! I was so shocked by this that I forgot all about the howling and the mist. I headed towards the pond to look myself up. It was so unusual to see a reflection so different from the one I was used to see... My antlers prowdly carried my Sign, my pelt lost its spots and now was dark blue like the gloomy sky above me with some lighter wide stripes, left by the mist I guess. I also found myself wearing a black mask. I sighed. Well, Rain, you do pull off your name alright... Although I didn't want to seem too gloomy. I looked around and saw some violettes in the grass. I put my antlers down to twine flowers around them as I saw other Deer do it lots of times... Well, growing up really caught me off guard but on the other hand it made me feel confident.
Then I heard the howling again. Misty Forest was a bit creepy. The howling, bats flapping about... I think its the first time I ever saw bats in the Forest... I didn't want to be alone now, so I called with my new mighty deer voice and went to see what other Deer were doing and maybe ask them about that howling in the mist...
