"Mother? Mother where are you!", the cries of a fawn called out, disrupting the quiet of the Forest. He wandered around in the snow, searching tirelessly, constantly calling out again and again. There were a few deer around, but they seemed to sleep through his cries. None of them heard him call.

The fawn kept running, past the Playground, checking the Pond, peeking inside the Old Oak. He stopped by the old Ruins, looking around, calling out again. No answer. He let out a sigh, his eyes tearing. Losing his mother was one of his greatest fears, and no deer would help him look for her. Nearby, a sleeping stag dreamed he was a child again, playing with his mother in the snow. She joined him in romping around, the two watching their hoofprints mold the snow. Redd loved the feeling between his hooves, and turning to his mother, he opened his mouth to tell her that he loved her deeply.

Instead, when he opened his mouth, a different set of words came out. "Mother, where are you?!"

Redd's eyes opened. He was drowsy, but he looked over to the fawn who cried by the Ruins. The stag stood up and walked over to the little boy, noticing that his body was emitting a strange blue glow. Still, he had to do something. "Hello there, are you lost?", Redd asked. The fawn was startled to see him there and jumped up. "No, no...I can't find my mother...", the fawn replied, his voice sounded oddly raspy.

"Oh, well maybe I can find her. Do you know her name?", Redd asked. The fawn shook his head, "I can't remember...", he replied.

He tilted his head curiously. What in the world was it? He had never seen anything like it before. Toukan saw his reflection in the odd orb that seemed to dangle from a branch of a tree. His face looked very distorted, his head was wide but his body was squished beneath him. And he was completely red instead of his usual grey.

He moved his head around, watching his face morph in the reflection. As he looked at it, two other deer walked up. “Toukan’s making silly faces again.”, Aeis laughed. Cloud tilted his head, “Huh…look what he found there.”, the stag said. The two walked up and looked into the strange red orb themselves.

“There’s some weird little deer trapped in it!”, Cloud spoke. “No, I don’t think that’s correct.”, Aeis replied. “It’s gotta be some alternate universe, there are deer in another place who look just like us and are staring back at us thinking the exact same things we are.”, she concluded.

“It’s a decoration.”, Toukan told them. “A decoration? For what?”, Cloud questioned. “Not sure, actually. But I think it’s probably related to the festivities that the Twin Gods hold at the end of the year.”, the caribou explained.

Aeis stared at it for a moment, “There still might be some weird deer in another place staring back at us…”, she spoke. Toukan cracked a slight smile, “You think too hard, Aeis.”, he pointed out.

“So what do we do with it?”, Cloud questioned. “Hmm…”, Aeis thought, “Let’s open it up. Maybe there’s a surprise inside!”, she considered. “I don’t think it’s a present, though.

“What happened? Where am I?”, LaRuna stood up suddenly. Around him was an open plain, snow covered. There were buildings around him, though sparsely spaced among themselves. The night sky was clear, above him was a full moon that made the snow around him luster. The stars were so bright here, he was surprised how many were in the sky, even with the moon out.

He was alone out here, the air was crisp and chilly, he found his body was much colder than normal. He realized that he was wearing a cloak that hardly kept him warm. His fur was strangely light, and he began to shiver in the snow. He saw a large tower nearby, it loomed above the small buildings in the place. It was a small settlement with a strangely large castle that seemed to be the highest point in the area. “What an odd place to live.”, LaRuna said to himself. As he started to walk toward the castle, he noticed someone approach him. The stag squinted as the figure got closer. “Silun?”, LaRuna asked.

LaRuna recognized the stag, but he seemed very interesting. Upon his head was a crown that fit perfectly between his antlers. He wore a heavy cloak that covered most of his body, and his neck, ankles, and antlers were adorned with jewelry. The noble stag stopped before LaRuna, not seeming to recognize him in the moonlight. “Hello there, my friend. What are you doing out here in the cold?”, Silun asked.

“Silun? It’s me, LaRuna. Don’t you recognize me?”, LaRuna asked. The king tilted his head, “Ah, I’m sorry, page, I am very bad with names. But I may have seen you from time to time.

The characteristics/appearance/other info of this friendly, mysterious stag..

A bitter cold beat on his fur. He shook the snow off, grunting for a moment as he looked around the dense forest. He was alone tonight, the other deer were either sleeping deep in their dens or had found other places to escape the cold.

The whitetail buck shivered tonight. This winter was much colder than any other he had ever lived through. He felt very alone, and moving on, could only think about the doe he loved. A tear filled his eye when he found her…cold, lifeless…she left the world seemingly for no reason.

He needed to find warmth. He knew if he stayed out any longer, he might share the same fate as his doe. He walked on, steam puffing out from his mouth and nostrils with every breath. He stopped and looked curiously at a seemingly radiating town. He had never gotten too close to the place, but was very curious why all the trees and buildings seemed to be glowing like they were on fire.

He approached one of the trees, looking deeply into what was a light bulb. The gentle radiating glow glistened in his eyes, and it even had the slightest warmth to it. There was nothing to be afraid of, his mind drifted in wonder as he listened to the lights hum with electricity.

Then something else caught his eye. Was he imagining it? Could it really be?

He saw a doe standing by one of the buildings, glowing just as brightly as the trees. Was it his doe? Would she recognize him?

The stag approached, his heart racing for a moment. But his excitement ceased when the doe was only made of metal and lined with the light bulbs. It was a fake deer.
