My eyes opened wearily , it was the after noon and I had overslept. Spending my time at night, gazing upon the stars and letting the moon's rays spread across my fur had made my sleeping pattern go out of sync. I looked to the spot beside me where Latte and Serenity should of been sleeping. They weren't there, probably spending some time collecting flowers and casting spells on other deer.

I got to my hooves and flickered my ears about, catching any sound. I heard the noises of alot of deer in one place I decided to take that route, as I got nearer I could see a group of deer dancing and they nearly all looked the same! They all had butterfly pelts and their antlers were entwined with violet flowers, although some of them had different masks. I wandered up to one who had a huge red and white mask, it was so long it reached right down to their legs!

The Butterfly deer suddenly began to spread out, they ran in circles and pranced up and down, up and down. I pranced around them in a few circles, leaping over the back of one deer. Then suddenly, they charged off into the forest. I raced along with them until they stopped, I saw another doe I knew so I went over to her and nuzzled her neck with my own. We pranced around for abit when I realised the butterfly deer had lined themselves up and were dancing merrily. The sight made me fall on my back, laughing. It was also a beautiful scene, the main colour of their coat was as black as the night sky and on their side was the amazing wings of a butterfly, the wings were orange like the embers of a fire and there were little black lines that streamed across the orange making the wings look even more realistic.
All I could do was stand and stare for a while, before joining in their dance, we danced for a while then they thundered off into the trees. I just HAD to tell Serenity and Latte about this... I to, ran off.

I woke up. My body shuddering from my dream..then I realised i was safe, In the endless forest. I inhaled the earthy scent of the great oak tree around me and snuggled back into my mossy bed when I realised something. Everything around me was dark, and so was outside. What had happened? Was it the end of the world? I peeked my head out from under my sleeping spot and I heard noises of deer about the forest..I cautiously crept out from under the tree and looked around, my muscles tensed, ready to bolt at the snap of a twig, the glimpse of a predator. A robin flew over my head and perched on a branch, singing its song. It was safe..but what was wrong with the sky, it was now pitch black? I walked my way through the forest slowly when something darted out of the bushes. I stared at it, it looked like a wolf but it was smaller. It had red fur like the trees in autumn on its back, a long thoughtful muzzle, a bushy tail which was white tipped, as was its ears. And its eyes were a startling green, like the shiny back of a dragonfly. It had a glowing symbol above its head, so I knew it was highly thought of by the gods. It performed a little bow and I bowed back , then I was suddenly aware of another fox climbing out of the bushes to stand next to it, her fur was more orange and her eyes were like two yellow orbs. The nuzzled eachother then ran away into the forest as I ventured on. I was vaguely aware that I was heading in the direction of the pond and i soon arrived to see many deer calmly bathing in the waters. I settled down by the edge of the pond, gazing at it. There was little yellow, gleaming dots flittering over the pond and zipping around over the lillypads. I then turned my gaze skywards, the sky was black and littered with shiny white dots, I looked further and there was a massive circle shining brightly, its silvery rays reaching down and touching the water.
" I suppose your wondering what they are, aren't you little one?

You belonged in my heart, for everlasting life.
you wish you won the war, but only won the battles
your heart no longer beats along with mine

I found you new and ever changed
you found me torn and confused
my hurt caused you pain
your pain cause me, mine
And now our time apart has been proven right

We live together in forever flight

I had been in these woods for several days now, I knew where everything was and I was sure there was NO danger whatsoever. It was a warm day and the sun beat down making me feel hot and bothered under my fur so I went looking for some water, the pond had already been infested with stags so I went galloping off to the waterfall, it was beautiful, the dozens of poppies scattered around it, they reached toward the sun.. whilst the calming sound of the blue waters trickling down into the stream made it a peaceful place to drink. I slowly lowered my mouth to the water and quenched my thirst when I was aware of a shadow looming over me...I slowly turned and cried out! I bolted straight into the waterfall and let it gush down onto me, over my fur and trickle down my face.
What I had seen was....Well i couldn't be sure...Maybe if I just looked -or peaked?
I peered through the transparent waters and saw it. It was a stag, and it was terrifying, but also amazing. Its wolf-like grey fur was matted in clumps that dangled below its belly, on its sides and hooves part of the skin and flesh has been torn out by some kind of beast, showing its white bones in the light. Its horns were red and fleshy and it was wearing a mask which was...the skull of a deer.
I was sure it was going to eat me but I had to be brave, I had to.
I took a long breathe....and charged at the stag. It took one look at me through its hollow eyes..then fell over laughing. I couldn't understand...then I looked at myself. My fur had turned bright red! I too, fell over laughing and the stag came over to me. If he wasn't so tall I could of looked into his glowing pictogram and read his name. His figure loomed over me and he bent down and nuzzled me carefully with the tip of his mask then he turned and ran, And I ran with him. We galloped through the woods, over the slopes, through the fields of flowers until we came to the ruins.
