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.

Upon getting closer to Elenore it is clear she is not human...not fully...she is in human form but she has bunny ears sticking out of her head. She cowers as the deer walks closer to her. Her eyes are filled with tears. The bear appears to be covered with blood and mud. She hugs it tighter to her chest as if the deer was going to take it from her.
While running from yet another village kalvath ends up in an unknown forest that doesn't look or smell like the rest runs a bit deeper in turns to look at the villagers that were chasing him
Hmm seems they won't come in here odd where do I go now I guess I could smell the air and see what I pick up and go in the more interesting direction "sniffs for a few seconds" hm on my left I smell blood of an unknown scent and just ahead I smell the sea to my right I get hints of wolfsbane and humans I shall go left time to run hehehe gotta keep my blood pumping but I did smell unknown blood from this direction should I have ran this way
I run for about two hours and I sense I'm getting close to what's causing this scent I slow down to a near hault and see a child and a deer but I don't approach due to fear of new creatures
Lizbeth looks at that girl, she wasn't completely human, she didn't in fact wear some rabbit-like bun, no, she had real lapine ears.
But as she reached out to point at the bear, the girl just closes further holding her teddy even tighter. The doe makes her scare, not quite the thing Lizbeth intended to do. Slowly she puts her hand softly on the ground and speaks very softly, "Don't be scared, I will not harm you. I will not take your bear, just tell me his name."
Lizbeth smiles, and to show that she's no threat, Lizbeth sits down right on the dried leaves, slightly tilting her head sideways.
Her ears perk at some noise, there is somebody else, somebody that doesn't want to be seen, yet the doe senses the presence. She has to act quickly, but can't just take that girl and leave. Lizbeth's muscles tense, ready to make the effort to pick that girl and run, if this is needed. Her focus stays on the girl, but her deer senses are on alert, picking the slightest noise, the lowest breathing, any minimal scent.
"your bear is quite dirty, don't you think we should look to clean him. You don't want your friend to be dirty, do you? What do you think? Shall I help you to get that lovely face to smile again? He looks a bit sad to me, no?" Lizbeth notices very well the tears of that girl, but she will not ask her, if ever that young creature will tell her at one point.

Elenores ears perked up as she heard footsteps coming, her heart raced. "Hunters?..." her voice was small, she was terrified. Suddenly she shifted, her form becoming more bunny-like until she was fully in bunny form. She ran away fast hiding inside a rotted out log. Her bear left laying on the ground by the tree.
Sarabella was watching hidden in a bush. She sees a man stop just shy of a child and a deer. He's cute. Whos he? She wonders. She stays hidden watching what he does next.
Kalvath while scared slowly walks toward the teddy bear and Lizbeth he raises his hands while stating hey I mean no harm I just wanted to help real fast I just gotta change the bloodline I tap into (his form starts to look more elvish and mana begins to flow out from him) I pick up the bear blue calm mana begins to surround the bear cleansing it but I sensed something attached to the bear I repaired the spell on the toy finished cleaning it and I hand it to Lizbeth and say if you really need to calm her take her her bear and say push his nose she'll see the one thing she needs most right now her parents final message (I change back to looking more wolfish) Im gonna go and let you handle this I'm not to good at these things I begin to walk off into the forest once I can't be seen I run to the little bunny girl and use a bit of magic to create a few dancing characters to help calm her down and let her know the nice deer from earlier is bringing her teddy back to her I leave the spell going until I sense the deer from earlier getting close then I walk off trying to be silent
Elenore seemed to be calming down alittle bit watching all the dancing characters the man spawned for her. SaraBella watched him and what he did then followed him. she caught up to him. "hey...what did you do?..." she asked.
Sudden the girl disappears but lets her bear behind, Lizbeth is surprised. Thus she quickly knows why, a wolfish man comes from his hideout. The doe fears and just crawls backwards against a tree.
She looks at that figure as it changes more into an elven boy, just to grab the bear and hand it to her. Somehow there is no anger or harm in this man, Lizbeth can only sense goodwill but also fear.
Who is he? What is he? Something strange is happening and to her own astonishment, Lizbeth doesn’t run away.
She stares at that elven getting back into a wolf and just leaving, yet doing a trick to help that bunny-girl.
His words are sincere and soft, Lizbeth nods, “I will…” but before she could ask his name, he was gone. Lizbeth holds that bear in her arms, all sort of scents coming from it, the weirdest being blood. What happened to that child? She asks herself.
Seeing the girl peaking out of her shelter, the doe smiles and softly hands the bear to her, “your bear, and it was no hunter, all is fine”
The magic lasts for a few moments more and Lizbeth watches it right next to that bunny, she smiles.
She didn’t at all notice some other person catching up with that strange elven, she stays with the little girl.
“That was really nice what he did, no?”, Lizbeth isn’t sure if the girl can talk.

Kalvath jumps a bit due to the abrupt question and replies with I cleaned and repaired a bear and I walked away didn't you watch everything I did miss fox
Does a slight lean in to get a better look at who's been following him hmm you know miss fox you are quite beautiful that is all then I use magic to go poof and I'm in a tree so I can take a nap
Elenore shifts back to her human form. She nods and takes the bear back. "H-his names Henry...my bear...." she said.
SaraBella was shocked when he just disappeared. "Where did you...?" She headed back to Veilwood. "I need a nap...." she said "and maybe a hot chocolate with a peppermint stick.."
Kalvath moves around to get comfy but can't then decides to sniff out a water source to bathe finds one heads there immediately and starts to bathe but gets distracted and just starts to play in the water and having fun then lays back and floats while staring at the sky and says this is nice I like this spot and that fox gal was quite stunning I wouldn't mind meeting her again and the bunny girl I hope she's happier and that deer scary but seemed nice
Kalvath accidentally fell asleep in the creek and woke up naked was a bit embarrassed and ran to grab his clothes hoping no one saw him just floating around and he got his clothes got dressed and went for a walk to find some food in Elven form so he wouldnt have to eat meat and it seems while searching for food he ran into the fox again she was still sleeping so he grabbed some edible berries and placed them near the fox when for when she woke up now he is off to explore this forest to find a good spot to build a tree house
SaraBella had fallen asleep in human form while resting on a hammock in the veilwood haven. She had been living there for quite some time before deciding to go explore the forest. Thats when she spotted the bunny and the deer...and that very attractive elf. She started to wake up. When she woke up she was surprised to find a pile of berries sitting next to her on the hammock. She had almost squished them. "Huh?..." she picked up a berry. They were some of her favorites. She was suspicious though. Who could have left them?...
Kalvath walks for about two hours northeast and finds a good spot with three large three to build his house in with multiple areas that have bridges connecting each and room to each other starting with the living room on the northern most tree build the first bridge connecting to the kitchen on the tree to the right and then above that the first bedroom then on the final tree the bathroom and a second bedroom that connects back to the first tree above the living room for the master bedroom with a on suite bathroom and a walk in closet in preparation for if he ever has a family if the universe is kind enough to allow him that but that's just the plan now he just has to build it
