"Hello?" he called out, with no answer.

How long had he walked through this misty forest? He felt no fatigue, but he lost count of the steps he took. there was no pain in his hooves, nor did he run out of breath.

The silence was broken by the crackling of flame, and what sounded like a doe weeping. He followed the sounds until he found a funeral pyre, alight with blue flames, surrounded by familiar people... his people...
