Once again I awoke to a nearly endless day. If only the night came more often, and the snow fell upon my bare bones nose. I would not be able to lick the snowflakes off, but I could see their hidden glow from the two deep holes that are eyes upon my face.
I digress, I was near the lake. What an odd place for me to be. I could have sworn I fell asleep beside the temple idol! I fear what controls me so. Perhaps this was something that the gods did? They must have wanted me to see what was lying in the pond.
As I casually (ran, rather) made my way to the pond I saw a sight that made my heart beat and twitter. For a moment I thought myself in two places at once! In great curiosity I stepped forward (ran again, rather) to inspect this lovely look alike deer.
What do my eyes see instead of great antlers?! What you ask?! A doe! A doe! Of course I was all sniffs and head tilts. This deer had a fine choice in pelts and mask! Of course, I find anyone with my tastes to be quite classy deer.
Though I found my look alike to not be so friendly. What would one expect? I laughed, oh how I got a hearty chuckle as I rolled about in the pond. One would have thought I would drown, but it seems this forest deems death to be a most horrid thing. Still, I could not help but enjoy the sight of an female replica of myself.
Then came along another deer with a fine choice in pelt. For a few moments we had a standing magpie pelt party. I dare say it was rather boring. Are magpie deer always such drags? I know I am of the unfriendly sort, but even I found myself to be much more exciting. Perhaps, like me, it was not a good day. Anyone who does not have the same taste in daily emotions has poor tastes in such departments.
Very well balanced deer.
