A Reflection of New Consciousness and Bodily Being

I came to this world on a rainy day. Yes, that's what it's called... A rainy day.


At first, all the sensations of being alive were overwhelming, painful. But this body just stood there, staring at the ground as the rain watered down the blood coming from the antlers.


Who's blood? Was it the blood of the ones I had swallowed?


Ugh, emotions... So... Upsetting.


The head of this body managed to move itself away from the ground and used its eyes to look at the world. The eyes saw moving shapes, similar to the shape of this body. They ran, jumped, completely one with themselves.


Just like the ones still in this body.


The eyes came across a mass of collected water... A pond. This body moved towards it and came to stand in its cold shallows. The head moved down again, so that the eyes were looking at the water. They saw this body's reflection.... Mine....?


Yes, even if I didn't feel it, I rested within this body, and that means I posses it. Or, at least, that's how most living things see themselves.


I stared at it and saw a strange creature, not unrecognizable to me. A deer, it is called. A type of animal in some worlds, but this is a different world.


It was gray, with very large red antlers. Its face was mostly normal, except skull replaced fur and skin in the area around the eyes. Oh, and those eyes. One must think they are blind at first glance, with the gray pupils and irises lined with red.


Yes, this is also when I realized that there was blood dripping from those antlers. Tiny droplets fell slowly from the tips, meeting with their reflections to disappear into the water.
