Stirring awake from her spot beneath a bare-branched Oak tree, queer, red eyes blinking away the sleep that had formed during her unconscious state, the youthful doe took in the vacant environs around her with her slowly-adjusting oculars; night had fallen, a blanket of darkness stretching its way across the land. The only source of light was produced from a countless expanse of luminous stars, as well as a fine cast of illumination from a rather plump moon that sat high in the sky. Nevé preferred to slumber during the daylight hours, seeing as her albinism handicapped her sight when the sun was out; during the evening and nighttime, though, she became more active and wasn't limited to the shaded protection that the forest provided.
Bringing herself to her cloven feet with a small 'humph, the white hind took a moment to stretch her stiff muscles before wandering away from her snoozing location. Her hooves carried her aimlessly, as she didn't have a particular area she intended on visiting. A left, right, and half-circle later, she found herself standing before a moonlit collection of titanic boulders. The gray rocks were turned silver in the rays, and Nevé couldn't help but admire the spectacle for a few moments. She brought herself out of the awe-induced trance, at least long enough to encourage her legs to move again, this time bunching her physique and springing nimbly atop the first of the over-sized stones. Deciding that she would spend some time in this particular spot, the petite deer settled down and brought her frontal limbs beneath her, tucking them under her chest while her hind quarters lounged on their haunches.
The vampire moved silently
He silent strolling brought him to The Playground, the stones looking grand in the lovely moonlight. But something white caught his eye; a doe. Her aura seemed pure enough to him, which made him happy because she was another good soul in this forest. His black, scaly neck shimmered its iridescent blues and greens as he moved towards the giant boulders.
From her location on the
"Oh, hello," she chimed softly in her soprano-like voice, a warm tone in her words. She certainly wouldn't turn down the opportunity to have company, but caution was always taken during first encounters with this alabaster hind.
He bowed politely, his neck
He stepped closer towards the stones, but not too close out of respect of the doe's space. "The Playground looks beautiful tonight," he added, his eyes moving over the glistening boulders laden with fresh, green moss.
Nevé made an awkward dip of
Noticing that he took a step towards the rocky location, the albino hind nodded towards the spot beside of her before focusing her watery, red eyes back onto the stag's figure. "I must agree; it's quite the sight! I wouldn't mind if you joined me up here." Her invitation was genuine, and she even scooted over as best as she could to provide the larger deer more room. From this angle, she could roughly approximate that the darker-pigmented male was close to twice her height, which was strange to her seeing as she generally thought of herself as being a bit above average. Apparently this encounter proved otherwise.
"She is a thing of beauty,"
Upon closer inspection of the doe, he realized that she was albino. He could not help but feel pity for her since the sun would not be her friend either. But the Moon made her pure white fur glow brightly, as if she were the Moon herself. The light from the Moon also seemed to make his pale eyes glow as well; his irises were a pale purple-pink, and his pupils were a white.
The speed of this stag's
"I'm Nevé, by the way," she announced, keeping her focus on the male. In a one-word description of the new-found acquaintance, the alabaster hind would likely refer to him as beautiful, which is what he was. She was fond of his unique exterior; the way his neck possessed a multi-toned appearance, how his lighter-hued face was basked a glorious platinum in the moonlight. What she was entranced the most with, though, was his voice. She'd never hear such a unique accent, and in comparison to his baritone way of speaking, she felt dull and high-pitched. "Thank you, by the way, for joining me. I always enjoy the company of others."
“It is a pleasure to meet
“My name is Bela,” he rumbled, his ancient voice expressing his old origins. The closest his accent would be comparable to would be Russian, but there was just something different about it.
"The pleasure is all mine,
The white doe, while waiting on an answer, took the time to look her new companion, Bela, over once more. She was certainly happy to have his company, and even more thrilled at the acquaintance coming off with so much interest to her. Tilting her fine skull faintly to the side, she gazed up at him with a wide-eyed look, her smile delicately woven across her lips.
"It is alright," he said, his
He discovered this forest 500 years ago, stumbled across it when enchanting a mirror to show his reflection; it worked, but it also made him able to enter in and out of this forest at a whim. The forest was a wonder when he first laid eyes on it, and when his body changed it was simply amazing. He thought he had seen everything in the 1,500 years he had lived at the time, but this was beyond anything he could have imagined.
Her eyes opened wider in her
Pressing her pink nose to his shoulder, not even bothering to think if it may have been too invasive for the stag, Nevé held herself there for a few heartbeats before pulling back to her original pose, her face expression falling ever so slightly. "But, you said visiting... Well, I sure hope I'll get to see you during any future visits!" Though her mood dropped for perhaps a moment or two, she picked it right back up and her former smile graced its way back to her muzzle. "I've truly been enjoying your company," she said, an appreciative tone to her words. The albino hind didn't usually have much companionship, so this time was something she was certainly relishing in.
He smiled at her, “Your
He truly did enjoy this forest, and tried to come as often as he could, even though he could not explore all of the places in the forest. “And I have been enjoying your company as well,” he said, his pale eyes looking her face over as he spoke.
"I'm glad to hear that I may
"So, Bela, if you were not born here in the forest... then where at? I can't help but assume by our difference in accents that it's not very close by. Again, I don't mean to push, so you don't need to answer if you feel it's too personal." The doe didn't take her reddened oculars from the sight set in front of her, but did direct a single ear in the male's direction to show that she was, in fact, open to listening.
“It is alright,” he said,
"Hugh-man... Oh, humans! I

If she could blush, Nevé
A bit shy about asking her next question, she thought over how she wanted to word it, then decided just to jump right into the inquiry; "One thing that I'm a bit afraid of, though... How are the humans going to react with two deer marching around their territory - er, I mean, cities? That's my only real concern with this journey, Bela."
He chuckled, “They are
