"Okay okay listen up! I don't know you, but listen up!"

"Something really odd is going on. Because these deer actually have flat faces! Can you imagine?
Flat, I mean flat faces! Have you seen something like that before? I certainly haven't.
Little nose and little eyes and flat muzzle and little mouth."

"So I ended up here with my little friend, I don't even know how. But the ground here is softer and I still haven't gotten over how flat their faces are. Just - really.
This forest is weird. I can feel something's really off here. But maybe not in bad way, though.
The air smells funny."

"Hehe. I bolted off really fast from the place that grew birch trees. We found a stream - such a pretty stream - and I jumped over it before my friend even had a chance! I'm so much faster. Actually we're both fast, I just took off earlier.
I almost fell into the river though, my hoof slipped a bit. The water was freezing, I tell you! Stay away from that water!"

"We followed the trench for a bit and passed something made of cold stone that made a crossing point over the stream. I was in so much hurry that I didn't have time to check what it was. Need to go investigate further at some point.
On the end of the stream there was a little pond. And guess what we found? Flat faces! Look, LOOK! They're all tiny and they look like fawns but look at those faces! There was two of them, another one kept mooing at my face and I couldn't figure out what it wanted. I tried to shove its head into the water to cool its apparently overheated brain but it started crying even louder so I bolted off with my company.
Such odd things, are those really kids?"

"Hmm.. It didn't take long before we had gone through some places. I want to mention that we found two white things made of stone, over a hill near the lake. What are those? My friend started bowing at them and paying respects but I doubt he knows either.
He's such an odd thing himself, too. Why bow to a stone?
We ran off to another hill, it was near some.. Some large.. ruins, of something. I mean - they were made of stone too! What are these things? There was a large group doing this and that and I approached a bit, but a scent caught my nose.

I don't know what they were but ate a lot."

"And.. well."

"I don't really remember what happened."

"There was lights and noises and my body was pure air, I remember floating. Someone was singing into my ear and petting my fur, scratching from behind my ear too."

"Hehe.. I guess it's silly."

"Anyway, the shock hit when I finally woke up again.
Like I said, this forest is really odd. I've never experienced anything like this.
And now.. Somebody tell me-
