(( Yup, I'm finally actually continuing this story that I almost started over a year ago. And...I start it with another prologue that requires you reading through at least two ancient stories. I'm apparently evil like that.))

This prologue occurs somewhere between the climax and the end of This Story. It is reccomended reading for this entire serial.

The Near Prologue


It was a space between moments – a leaf hung mid-fall, a bird’s wings went still and yet it remained trapped in the air like an insect surrounded by amber. The only things still showing signs of life were the tree and the gods. Then the still world faded to black.
The tree that grew among the purple flowers looked out over the abyss before him; it was full of what looked like little suns, hanging in the blackness. Was the world of deer so different from the world it had always seen? The tree looked towards the Twin Gods.
“Before you are rewarded, you must pass one final test –“ the Red God said. The Gold One added, “the simplest and the hardest of all.”
The tree’s leaves quivered, the rustling for a moment filling the silent world. Neither the trees nor the Twin Gods breathed. “I’m ready,” it said.
“This realm is the testing ground,” said the Gold God, who was standing now where the Red one had been. They hadn’t moved an inch. “It is a place between things – between times, and places, and states of selves. What it looks like changes depending on where you’ve come from, and where you’re going.”
“…So the suns?” The tree said.
“They’re not suns, little one,” the Red God said. “They’re names. We’ll grant you your wish when you find yours.”
“But I don’t have a name. No one’s ever given me one.” The tree stared out among the rows and rows of glowing names that surrounded it on all sides.

Today I met 2 nice deer .
Seemed to be a couple in love ! They danced and played with flyleaf , than we sit together with another nice fawn .
Hope I didn't bother you

I took some screenshots and edited them. I think they turned out well. How about you guys? (Image heavy!)

Hey people... I happen to be a Midget deer, and I have the default pelt. It has come to my attention that many other Midget deer have pelts, and that you cannot cast a pelt spell on a Midget deer... How is this possible?

Hi

hey can anybody help me? how do u use forest magic? it is driving me crazy that i cant change other deers color!


PLEASE HELP ME! IT IS DRIVING ME CRAZY

As beautiful and peaceful as the forest was, it was time for me to leave and evaluate where I was going, what my purpose was and it had become increasingly obvious that I was not going to find the answer in the trees soothing shade or praying to the twin gods. So as I stepped out into the world I look a long glance back over my shoulder at the sanctuary I was leaving behind and after a moments reflection carried on walking.

I would look back again and again in the weeks to come and poke my nose into the dappled light but still it was not right for me to return, not yet. Things were still far too complicated as I said goodbye to my father and my uncle and I found myself distracted by any number things and people that needed my attention elsewhere.

But now it seems right that I should return and re-enter the forest a stronger and more world wise creature than before. I miss my old friends and can't wait to find new ones. I hope I was not forgotten completely and in turn that I can remember those that remember me. It seems a lifetime ago in many respects that I could play happy and carefree in the trees ignoring the wider world.

Keep an eye out in the forest for me...
