I don't know if I could keep a regular diary but I'll try to write down anything memorable I come across. I'm not a writer by any means, but I wasn't in the mood to draw stuff today.

The night before last, I was playing in a group and noticed a strange one who seemed to drift in and out of the herd; their pace was slow and deliberate yet there was an aloofness about them, and they would not join in our games. Their pictogram looked like a pair of folded wings and, true to their name, this individual gave me the impression of a shy bird. I approached while they stood hiding beneath a willow tree but our company was brief, and they spirited off shortly after my greeting.

Not long after, my friend returned under the guise of a dove, a form which they seemed much more comfortable in. I danced after them as they led me in circles through the clearings. When we neared the river they returned to their deerish appearance and we reposed a while at the weeping idol.

Eventually, my friend had to leave and we said farewell. They left me with a final curiosity as they departed - wading like an egret into the river and suddenly vanishing beneath the surface! I only thought to take a picture right before they left. I wonder if I've seen them before, or if it's just that their pictogram is so distinctive?

Today, I awoke to the chill of rainfall, and while much of my day was spent dozing in the Oak, I had the good fortune of being awake as the rain subsided. I knew then that a god must have been about changing the weather! I whisked off into the fresh sunlight to seek them out.

My search led me to a sleeping brown deer, looking by all means innocuous.. but I was not new to this trick! I curiously gifted the sleeping god a new pelt and found poppies sprouting at my feet. I tried my luck again, casting a new set of antlers on him, when something quite unexpected happened! I was caught off guard as the deer suddenly awoke and doubled in size. His bellows nearly knocked me off my feet.. I hope he was only yawning at me! Luckily, the god seemed in a cheerful mood and began to dance and whirl between me and a surprised looking fawn. When we danced along, strange things began to happen...




And then the god took off like a beacon in the darkening woods! I gave chase, but he must have disappeared into the aether before I could go and pester him again.

So I was left alone. Something about the red forest jogged my memory and I decided to go visit a familiar place...


Now that's just redundant!
