Links
-When a link is established the picto of a deer will appear engraved on his side. How long it takes to establish a link varies and in some cases those links fade.
: Big Grey, first link. Nice, kind, rain buddy. Gone?
: Little Pink Gray. Good, nice, pretty sit buddy. Gone. Source of bitterness and resentment, has sensed around but has never come remotely close to the pond or Ird. Still likely to welcome with open arms no questions asked should she return. Will probably yell at her and pout a bit though.
: Teeny Brown. Sweet, small, cautious, sit & pond jump buddy.
Deep in their roots, all flowers keep the light.
--Theodore Roethke

-Has a tendency to nod a lot more than necessary when happy
-Dancing is the best thing ever, often out dances others
-Since he is essentially a tef Springbok this means pronking. Can reach 6 ft 7 inches of the ground while doing this.
-Will try to sit on or under any deer that do not seem to mind it
There is not a sprig of grass that shoots uninteresting to me.
--Thomas Jefferson
Origins
The Twin Gods had been searching for something, something important. Something that would become them, spread their reaches further into the forest. Reveal the secrets like twisted roots sent deep underground and send them sprouting up fresh through new eyes. But who? Who would perpetuate the forest, make it better? Who indeed could see the leaves plump and full off sunlight? Who would rustle the bare branches in winter - or see too it that the forest creatures were taken care of?
After searching far and wide across their land, they scrabbled in the darkest places. Deep down under where the light never reaches and tomorrow never comes. They dredged the pond, sifting through old bones of those who'd given themselves willing or not. When they dug the dirt of the church yard and came up empty handed they cast their reach further. Stretched it beyond the borders. Always reaching. Always searching.
And then, when it seemed that the guardian must come from their own power, they found it. A soul so worn away it was only a flicker. And yet, somehow.... somehow it burned brighter then everything, brighter then anything. A desire to live, to please, to grow, to love and most of all....to mean something. A desire to leave a bit of it's own light on every one it touched. To keep them burning as bright as it did once. Oh how it longed for that. The Twins looked at each other and in the split second their eyes met they knew. They knew and they agreed.
And so a new light was brought into the forest. Shaped and spun from the leafy trees themselves. Molded by the smooth hands of water, dried from the hot breath of the untouched sun. Birthed from the stone that had born the tears of some old forgotten sorrow it finally came to be.
