The stag blinked, taking a deep breath. Hey, that smelled familiar! Suddenly filled to the brim with excitement, Rire let out a bellow and took off racing, not caring what direction it was in. By chance or by fate, he leapt over the river and danced his way to the Twin God Statues, and stumbled upon two others in the process. Suddenly, his pelt was white and glowing - something that hadn't happened in a long time. Somehow it was fitting that the first fur change back in the Forest would be that of the Twin Gods. The other two deer couldn't possibly have any idea why he was so excited and content to just play, letting them cast random spells and decorate him; but he'd been missing for forever, it seemed, and he couldn't possibly be more grateful for two strangers' kindness.
I'm back!

Long story made short, I looked at my hard drive to see how it could be possible that I didn't have room to do something, and lo and behold - 1 GB of space left on my hard drive. Well. Naturally, I needed to slim down! I dropped any and every program I didn't use enough - and unfortunately, TEF was put on that list out of necessity. After several months, though, I got nostalgic enough to decide that I could afford ooone very special program.

No clue who the other two deer were, and I'm sorry, but I don't remember your pictos very well, so I may never know! But thanks for the warm greeting back. It was very good to remember why I loved the Forest. And I'm sorry I had to leave so suddenly - I was called to dinner.
