"The doe with the butterfly mask, laid right in front of my hooves. Her breath was constantly, deep. She slept.
I made a few steps closer.
I could hear their laughter in the distant. They were still dancing.
Another step closer.
The sun light made the fragile mask sparkle. An elegant net of finest silvery stings that laid on the face of the sleeping doe.
Oh, this beauty…
I could feel my heart beat.
I looked around. No one was nearby. They all still danced at the ball.
I looked at the doe again. No, not at the doe… at the mask.
I… I just had to…
I bowed down.
The gods may prevent my from using magic… but there are other ways to remove a mask.
Although they are a little complicated.
… and my magpie mask got a little in my way.
Somehow I managed it to grab the edge of the mask with my teeth.
It took forever... but finally I managed it. The whole time I listened to the noises of the other deer at the ball… I feared someone could pass by… but no one interrupted me.
Gently I lifted the mask from her face.
Carefully I stepped back.
The doe opened her eyes.
My heart stopped.
Out.
She looked at me, saw me standing there holding her mask between my teeth.
She was confused… she was sleepy…but suddenly her eyes grew bigger.
Now she started to realize what happened. Immediately she jumped up, started to yell and scream.
”What the hell are you doing?! Who you think you are, that stupid mask-collecting freak?! Give that back, jerk!”
I struggled backwards, while she jumped on me. I was unable to speak because of the treasure in my mouth.
”Spit it out you freak!”
She reared, one of her hooves hit my face.
”Ah!”
Again I struggled backwards.
I lost the butterfly mask, my own mask fell down, too.
Suddenly everything seemed to slow down, the forest became silent.
I saw the butterfly mask sparkling on her way down to the ground… followed by the shadow of the magpie mask.
I saw the sharp, silvery beak, I heard the slight tingle as it pierced the fragile structure, I saw the dazzling fragments disperse in the green grass.
Out.
Someone screamed. Rage.
I felt how my body was moving. Rage.
I saw the frightened face of the doe. Punishment.
She struggled backwards, but she was not quick enough. Rage.
I hit her with my full weight, I could feel how my antlers collided with her head. Crack
I heard the sound of her body hitting the ground
Out.
She laid on the ground. She didn’t move anymore.
Suddenly the noises of the forest returned.
I heard the others, their laughter, their voices.
I started to panic... I wanted to run… but my body didn’t move.
For one or two seconds I feared it won’t move at all…
… but somehow I managed it to struggle forward.
I ran.
I ran for my life. Away… away…
I needed to run away… but… where to run in this forest without an end?
My heart raged.
Panic, fear, shame… all those feelings ran with me.
What have I done?!
What have I done!
Was she dead? I don’t know… was she dead? Did I kill her?
I killed her!
Again.
I ran until my lungs started to ache… but I didn’t stop.
What have I done… … no that couldn’t be real…
it was a dream, yes, it was a dream!
… I hate dreams.
Small, black dots started to dance in my sight.
I started to struggle, I was exhausted.
My body burned like fire.
… I didn’t stop running.
I betrayed the gods…
I betrayed her.
I betrayed her.
What have I done…?!
I could feel tears running down my face…
… I saw how the ground came closer.
I could hear the laughter in the distance...
The world went black.
