H-Hhnn...

it's been so warm in the Forest. I like it lots. it reminds me of summer, and that means autumn is comin' soon. autumn is my favorite. it has pretty colors that remind me of my dad. but he's not orange, he's kinda tan and pinkish red...winter reminds me of myself and mom! because we're blue. and green too. I like blue. Ketan is summer, he's brown and this flaring yellow and whatt--oh!



violets are nice. but when they're on my right side I can't see them...well I can! but they're blurry. everything is kinda blurry. it's okay. I see the world really bright. and blurry. in my right eye. the Blue Bowl is pretty though, it looks like a big thing of blue stars!



I didn't know who this was, so I didn't want to bother them...and they were really faint, so I couldn't see them. but then I walked a little ways and found this big group of deer, so I sat off to the side because I didn't want to bother them. they looked like they were having fun though; another deer came to greet me but I couldn't see them too well! they were nice. I think they had a brown pelt and these nice feathery antlers.



so I went off on my own and fell 'sleep next to a tree b-but--



Uncle Skokey!! I was slow getting up, pffftt...



and Ketan! I turned him into dad for a second and we whacked faces in our excitement. good thing I know his smell, because my eyes were starting to hurt from all the light. I wonder if this is how Gabe feels...but we went to the mushroom circle to get him tinier, hehe. me too! I got the right spell first try, but Ketan's spells for me were dove and frog and raven andd...teehe. frog was fun. I like ribbitting, but it's weird to feel so small.

[=white][i]I barely had time to stand up before I was overtaken by a violet blur, followed closely by a mass of much darker fur.

Do not think I failed to notice your amusement when Amary and I greeted each other with more than just bows, Darkweaver...
It is a good thing Cousin was not there as well. I would never hear the end of it. And I already hear enough!

It was not long before another flurry hoofbeats could be heard, this set much more sedate than my wake up call had been. Tally I believe, following closely behind a young stag with skeletal markings of gold in dark blue fur. There was something familiar about that one.
And it seemed this young one was doing everything in his power to get on Darkweaver's last nerve. That little red one who suddenly sat in the flower patch was rather confusing as well...copying the skeletal-marked one in moving about Dark's legs like a cat would.

An impromptu staring match began.
But my attention was soon diverted elsewhere, by a stag who came asking for antler spells. I obliged, but Amary took off towards something in the distance. Where, I could not tell.

Before I knew it, Amary was returning...along with a black and white stag I was not sure I had met before...

...and yet, still I could see the staring match of sorts continued. It seemed to have picked up a few followers as well, standing around but gazing upon no one in particular.

A few more deer I am sure I shall not remember, as a few had no name, passed through the area Amary, the fellow introduced as Steele, and I stood. That one soon said his farewells, quickly departing.
But not before being nuzzled by Amary before he disappeared completely.
Just what does that one mean to her?
And why am I so bothered?

Perhaps I shall find out soon, but at that moment we headed back to the contest of wills.

It wasn't really worth waking up today, though the forest was as beautiful as always but not a soul wanted to play. After wandering around for ages looking for a deer I recognised, I spotted Saosin sleeping soundly in the grass i had to chuckle a little at the snores that were coming from the red stag and before I could catch myself I had woken him up and we shared a bow and a nuzzle before he sat back down and dozed off again. I lay down with him for a while, but eventually realised I wanted to play and he wanted to sleep so i let him be.

I found a group of deer not too far from the pond and I must have woken them up on the wrong side of the grass because they were decidedly grumpy, one even stamped at me when I tried get them to play and they weren't the only ones as not one deer wanted to dance, apart from a small faun which stayed with me for only a few minutes. I don't know what has gone in the forest it just seems a less friendly place with no one wanting to get to know new deer. Perhaps tomorrow will be better.

These dreams lately....are becoming more and more like reality. I sink beneath trees and wait for a glimmer of light, a being, a hope to know that i'm not alone.

Typically, it's just me out here..in this empty forest but i've been seeing others especially yesterday. Some even spoke back to me.

A few helped me find myself. New colors. A new face. New flowers.

I smiled at them and joined in their dance.

Today I face loneliness but tomorrow may be that new light again.

I can hardly wait.
