Stumbling through the woods in the dark, I realize Ru is no longer by my side. Glancing about, I search for her. Wherever had she gone? I nickered, green gaze sweeping through the trees. Earlier that day, I had felt something within me being restored. I had felt something within me shift, like locked doors opening, the lock thumping to the ground. Digging deep within my soul, I found myself whispering to the trees, watching as they moved to the side. I felt pleased with myself now, happier now.
So I waltzed through the Deep Forest, hunting down Ru. I nickered softly again for her, but gave up. She was probably off doing something. I felt a little ashamed to let her be by herself, but she needed some freedom. As of late I've been watching her closely. So there I was, walking through the forest, when I heard a moan. The depressed moan echoed, bounding off the trees and reaching my ears. Perking them, I tried to locate where the sound had come from. I weaved through the trees, desperate to find the source of the moan. Lurking within the shadows, I saw a beam of light, flickering in the distance. Walking forward, muzzle outstretched, I searched for the light. As I searched I noticed the light dimmed, flickering faintly, now barely visible. Frowning, I began to quicken my pace, searching desperately. I burst into an area where a doe lay, blood tripping down from her mouth. Gasping, I rush forward, passing a few of the horses that had already gathered. I halted as my green gaze settled on the one familiar figure. That one, crude little figure. My eyes widen, and I mutter an inaudible word. "You," I muttered, just barely moving my lips. I narrowed my brows at the filly. She... she was the cause of Ru's pain. I heard Ru's words echoing in my head, the words she had spat at the feet of her family. I huffed, keeping my green gaze on Ru's sibling as I approached the doe, spotting the little orb like thing hanging from her neck. "My dear doe, you... you're... " I looked at her, worry flickering in my leafy gaze. "I am Tingal, please, allow me to help." I moved a little closer, lowering my head in greeting. The doe's antlers were apparently the source of light, but there were only four tips lit. I bent down slightly, eyes showing worry as I stared at the doe. "Talk talk talk" [ Wishlist.
