Author's Notes: O_O I'm just as surprised as I'm sure all of you are that this is out already.
What the heck is wrong with me?? XD This definitely isn't normal.
Anyway, it's longer this time, but it feels like it could be better. I'll leave that up to you to decide.
Well, here's

Chapter 3

No one that way.
No one the other way.
That way was clear, too.
No one was around.
Good. All the better for him.
The fawn had hardly stuck around the others before taking off on his own. He didn’t wish to hear any insults. Besides, he had more important matters to attend to.
Like continuing his conversation with the dragonfly at the brook. He just hoped he was still there.
‘But then…it did say I’d know where to find it, so I guess that means it’ll still be there.’
Briefly checking for other deer again, the young buck covered the remaining distance to the brook. The dragonflies were there. Not that he hadn’t expected them to be; he’d always seen them flitting about here. Soon, the biggest one landed on a stalk near him.
“Greetings, young one. I expected your return.”
He smiled, recognizing the dragonfly’s buzzing “voice”. “Hello again. Um…” He cast his eyes to the side, suddenly feeling awkward. “I wanted to continue our conversation from earlier…”
The insect made a sound he thought was similar to chuckling.
“Ah, yes. I thought as much. What do you wish to know?” It seemed almost eager to “talk” to the fawn.
“You mentioned something about a forest before…?” he prompted, unsure of a better way to begin.
