Arkœrova was wandering around the Pond after she drank. There were quite many creatures there, some of them were fawns or babies, others were different kinds of adult creatures. She looked around, trying to find something to do or someone to play with. The little one approached the Pond and went a little further to the limits where you could not have your hooves on the ground anymore. Since she did not know how to swim, she was upset. The first and last time she attempted, she almost got drowned. She put her hoof into the Pond but quickly stepped back and pulled it out as she almost fell into it. She just stared at it, hesitating to try again. She stood still there. Suddenly, a deer accidentally pushed her, making her fall into the water a little away from the edges. She panicked but could not scream. She opened her mouth trying to do so only to swallow water. She coughed and tried to get closer to the edge.

What she saw was her point of view: nobody was doing anything, they just stood there like shadows, watching her drowning. In fact, the deer that pushed her ran away from the place. Eventually, some tried to catch her and pull her out of the Pond, but they were not skilled swimmers either, and could not go far. She then came upon realizing, was that because she was different? Because of her missing-looking eyes? She did have eyes, they were just complete black. She was not dangerous, she was just a baby after all. And yet everybody seemed to be watching her like if she was a monster. That was how she saw it. She aready scared some away. Only a few accepted her. She swallowed some water again while she was giving another try to scream but remained silent. She was starting to lose strength, getting more and more tired as time was going by.
