It starts as a tiny feeling and from there it grows. It trickles in through the edges of one's subconscious mind, falling like raindrops into the conscious world. At first, it is a sightless world. Soon, small sounds of birdsong and the rustle of trees remind you that you are conscious. Your soul winks into existence first. Your world fades into existence, bringing a spark of joy. Your soul gathers itself, as if preparing for something much larger... and then a bit of you transforms into many others. A chorus of voices fills your ears, prompting you to wake up and realize that you are not alone, but part of a collective consciousness.

This collective consciousness is why you are here. Each soul behind each avatar shares the same feelings you do. Each new meeting brings sparks of happiness to both souls. Make each meeting as bright and hopeful as if it were the first time. Each parting brings a slight sadness to the souls involved. Make each parting as kind as possible, as nobody ever knows just when they will meet each other again. Each soul comes into this little world of ours hopeful, excited, and new. Remember this. Each soul behind each avatar has its own burdens, triggers, and fears. Remember this as you interact with others. Above all, remember that each soul came here equally: They started off young, growing over time. If love, care, respect, generosity, understanding, and honesty is given to each soul, it will grow into something beautiful. If a wrong is committed to a soul, then it will foster something ugly inside that will spread. Do not lower your tines if you don't want others' lowered toward you. Do not turn your back to someone unless you want your back to feel the score of their tines later. Do not hide behind your mask, for your face is still human underneath. We're all the same under the spells.

We are the deer of The Endless Forest and we should take to heart what the creators wanted for this game.
