Mute looked around his scenery and sneezed.

Mute hummed silently, kicking a lob of snow off of the rock.

(ummm, so lets just say that Safear was too shy to meet the stag, that might make the time loss eaiser. ^^; I'll just make an account of what she was doing after she parted from Fleur. )

Safear did not take well to strangers, having next to no social graces and a low self esteem, she often made herself scarce around those she did no know. When Fleur had trotted unafraid to the lone stag, she had mumbled something along the lines of "have to go now...see ya later Fleur." Slipping away before her god-daughter could object, she headed in the direction of the ruins cursing her shyness all the way. Safear had sullenly flopped down on a sparcely sun dappled rock and fluffed up her feathers in an effort to stay warm. Stareing up at the trees, she saw a few fall leaves still desperatly clinging to the bare and colorless limbs that spider webbed the sky above. She picked at the flaking stone of the ancient collaped alter she sat upon in forlorn boredom, wishing that she was not so alone.

(p.s Look, Fleur's got fan art. :3 http://endlessforest.org/community/fananimals-community)

(Ok Safear AHHHH I saw the billions of characters! They're cute!)

Fleur got up and stretched her legs and looked around the forest. She decided to go find her godmother now.

Fleur trotted along and went to the closest place from the rocks which was the ruins. After a while, she noticed the red and orangey-tan ground began to turn into a dark green color. The birch trees where gone, with the brown-trunk trees in the forest. Every now and then she could see clumps of purple flowers on the dirt. In the distance she spotted the ancient ruins.

As they entered the ruins, the atmosphere began to get a little darker, the ground covered in the heaping shadows of the ruins. Fleur slowed to a walk. The place was almost eerie.

Fleur glanced behind her to see if Mute was still following, but even by a short glance, she noticed his appearance changing. She began to grow fearful, backing away from him by a few steps. "Mute...what's wrong? Your...Your changing.."

Fleur grew even more scared by his reaction. "Mute...?" fleur whispered as the puff of white air escaped from her mouth as she spoke.

Fleur ran over to him and asked worriedly, "Mute, what's wrong? What happened to you?... Please tell me." (errr, show her)

Fleur looked at the drawings and then watched his demonstration. She frowned. She felt bad for him to have this demon hidden inside of him only to be exposed in certain dark areas. When Fleur saw him shudder in despair, she came to his side and put her neck over his (or in the neck area between the shoulders) like a hug and then let go to look at him.

"It's ok, Mute," she said comfortingly and encouragingly. "I know you don't want to hurt anyone at all."

Fleur returned the smile with one of her own. Then she hopped up a slanted piece of land which had the form of a pyramid. Small mushroom encircled it. She lied down on the top.

After a few minutes, she drifted to sleep. For her, there was something about the inside of the mushroom ring that made her a little drowsy. After a few moments into her sleep, she began to transform into a wolf (with the same pelt color).

Fleur's chest lifted up and down...up and down. She was perfectly calm...As a matter of fact probably too calm than her usual self.

Fleur's eyes slowly opened. She looked at him and then got to her paws. She looked up at him. She felt like she had shrunk. Why was she so small? The she-wolf circled around and around to see if she could catch a glimpse of herself, but she couldn't even do that. "The Pond!" she exclaimed as she dashed to where the pond was.

Once Fleur had arrived at the pond, she plunged into the water and then looked down at her reflection. She was indeed a wolf.

She was flushed with worry- How did it happen and why? As she began to get worried, she grew bigger and bigger until she was as big as her regular deer self. She looked back down at the gleaming water and she was back to a doe, with her long muzzle and magpie antlers. She returned to Mute and asked him , "When did I transform?"

"How very odd....Oh well. I'll figure it out later." Suddenly, Fleur cast an animal spell on Mute and Mute became a _____ (whatever animal )

Fleur giggled and said, "Oh my, I didn't see you being that!!!"

Fleur stood beside him and then leapt in the deeper end and began to swim around. Only half of the pond was melting from the ice now and the water was still very cold.

"It's ok," Fleur soothed. "It won't hurt you. I promise you won't fall in." Fleur bent down to take a few sips of the refreshing water.

Mute started to lap up water, jerking back, feeling intense pain in his head, a bad migraine.

Mute moved his head toward the ancient tree and nodded.

Mute followed her carefully, making sure not to fall behind. He loved to see all the scenery around him, the beautiful water, the sky, the clouds, everything.

He followed her inside, peering upon her new form once again.

Mute blinked and nodded, still confused about all this.
