I had a dream, of a beautiful golden field. Fawns and stags played and laughed together. It was a place where there is no pain, and no sorrow. A place with no fear. Everyone was content and no one was hurt. There was magic in everyone. We all leaped and ran in the field. The sky was beautiful and blue with white puffy clouds. I looked over, far on the end of the field was a dark scary forest. I ran towards it to see more. I stood at the egde of the field where the golden long grass died down to a short and dark green shade. The forest was dark and not filled with life. The trees were covered in black, dead leaves, and there were no flowers. Suddenly I saw black shady deer figures drift along the floor of the forest. There antlers were not proud and strong, but weak... some parts breaking off. Many deer figures floated along. I felt sad for these deer. Why aren't they playing with us in the field? One very close and dark ghostly deer drifted by me at the edge of the forest. It stopped and looked at me. It's eyes were sad and glowing a dark night blue. A tear fell from my eye. I motioned for the stag to come play with me in the golden field. The figure floated slowly towards me and started to enter the field when then out of no where a huge bolt of fire hit the stag, causing it to fall to the ground. I was so scared and cried for this deer. It must have done something horrible to live in this horrible place. The stag figure got up, looked at me, and drifted away, deep into the forest. I heard a loud moan coming from many stags. All of them slowly fell to the ground. I could not take this anymore. I ran back to the golden field crying and feeling afraid. The other stags questioned my emotion. They did not know what it was. I kept running and passing each deer. I looked behind me and a dark mist followed from behind. I screamed with fear as the mist came faster. I ran and ran, but the mist surrounded me, and took me to the dark forest.


I woke up filled with fear, breathing deeply. I looked around to see the bright shining forest. "That was the scariest dream I've ever had" I said to myself. I got up and saw a small fawn sleeping by the Crying idol. I walked over to it and wondered if it was having a bad dream like me. I lay down by it for a little. I got up later and walked to the other side of the idol where a stag slept. I bowed down and kissed it on the side of its skull mask. I walked away and stopped to look at a little white dove sitting on the ground. As I was watching it, a ghostly red fawn quickly ran past me and then disapeared. My heart pounded. I hoped with all my heart that this forest was not the one in my dream, and that I was part of it. I ran until I saw two fawns and a stag giving each other masks by the ruins. I walked over and joined in, giving them masks. I didn't get any but that is ok. I walked over in some red flowers to watch them. One of the fawns came to comfort me. Probably because it thought I was sad about not getting any masks. We nuzzled each other and played and danced. I said goodbye and left to see the ruins. I saw some gravestones nearby. My heart felt sad, so I walked over to the gravestones and bowed to each one of them. "I wonder who they are" I thought as I was bowing. I saw one small gravestone that looked lonely. It reminded me of the sad stag in my dream. I layed by the stone for a long time. I kept trying to hold back my tears, but they kept falling down. As I was getting tired, I got up and bowed to the stone, and I ran back home feeling afraid and sad. I finally got to my little rock under the water fall of the Crying idol, and slept. Hoping to have good dreams.

- Music is feeling very sad for all the deer that have gone away, and she wants them to come back into the forest and play in the warm sunlight. She also wants every deer to believe in the Maker, so they will not end up in the dark, scary forest.
