Kurai was not a stag from a magical paradise before. This is not his first chance also, but it's his second. He's a deer from another world.

He was an orphan. His mother was killed when he was still 8 months old. Miraculously, he survived on his own. His mother was killed by a hunter (which Kurai prefer it to be "the two legged ape") under a 200 year old tree. He stayed and lived in that very tree where his mother died (but he only leaves when food and water is scarce). Kurai never realize that his mother was dead so he waited for her.

Six years passed, the forest was slowly getting smaller. He went to a place where he was not suppose to go to check out what's going on. What he saw was terrible. Trees were killed by the "two legged apes". Kurai went back to his home but before he got there, the tree where he waited so long for his mother to come back was gone. He had nowhere else to go but to run for his life.
His life grew darker. His neighbors, rivals, mates, fawns and home slowly disappearing. But one night, he met an old stag. He said, "If you go the path of light, you will surely live in paradise". The old stag left Kurai with a confused mind. Kurai wanted to find out where this paradise is. Before he ask the old stag, he disappeared into into the darkness.

Few years passed, Kurai still long for his mother to come back. He found out that his life is empty. He had no reasons to live anymore. Until he remembered the old stag's riddle. Before he must go to "the path of the light", he must go to where he lived few years ago, in a place where he waited for his mother. As he finally reached his destination, the grass where he slept turned into a flat, wide, thick rock, and the tree where he slept under, turned into a boulder only it is straight, hard, and higher than Kurai.
