It was a cold fall night. Elenore was sitting by a tree hugging her teddy bear. The little girl looked scared. She had just lost her parents but luckily for her she was sitting right outside of the Veilwood haven.
Lizbeth is like usual on her search for different herbs or plants she carried to trade in town, even if the doe doesn't like town and humans. She avoids as much as possible and only returns for trade or if really necessary. But this time night caught up with that doe, she was surprisingly late outside, yet a few stone throws away from her hut.
So she decides to return home, and follows a quite known path, that one path that leads alongside a place she often heard off but never dared enter. Some called it 'refuge woods' other more like 'scarylands', because of some strange creatures living there. The doe knows this land to be Veilwood, but she never stepped inside. Anything that's new or likely otherwise means caution and doubts. Doubts being a reason to flee for any kind of deer.
Lizbeth is not a normal deer living in the forest, she's an artificially made anthropomorphic doe, in fact a deer with a human shaped body. Her story is long and painful, but she has learned to live with it and she found a place to stay where she was more or less accepted and not chased.
As she hurries to get home, she almost stumbles over this girl with her teddybear. She immediately senses and sees the fear in that girl. A human child, by closer look, not more than six years old, sitting at the roots of a big oak tree. Lizbeth remembers herself hiding at such a tree and feels sad about this girl.
She immediately hocks down, few steps away from the child, avoiding to scare this girl even more. She speaks with her soft voice, low, almost whispering, "Hello you, don't be scared, I will not do you any harm. Are you lost in the forest?" Lizbeth knows that she will surely not answer, "What a nice bear you have, what's his name?" she asks, smiling and hesitantly pointing at the crushed teddybear in her arms.
