As the buck walked farther east the sun lowered, the chill of night upon him and hunger in his stomach he stopped. Listening for a sound, the sound of prey. A bird walked out from a bush and before it had a chance his heavy huff crushed its tiny skull. He devoured, gorged him self on its flavour. There was another sound very faint, and a smell, a sweet smell. The smell of a doe. "ahh" he said to him self, he began his search for her.

She wasn't terribly difficult to find. Roused by the faint crunch of bones and the tang of blood, Shadelight had pulled herself from the sumptuous pile of leaves and moss she slept on to investigate what kin approached. She was expecting one of her kids, but in the gathering shadows that made her own glowing markings stand out so brightly, it was obvious it wasn't. A buck, was it? Good timing. She watched him finish his meal, sidled a little closer. It was rare to have a visitor at night, here on the edges of what most kin considered the safe side of the swamp, and she didn't want to startle him.

As he headed towards the thickets, the smell grew strong with in his nostrils. He noticed something though, a faint light, strange yet comfortable. He was suddenly standing right in front of her. She was exotic, glowing, quite literally. "Well hello, Call me Barren." said the Buck, then every thing went black.

Shadelight nearly jumped out of her fur when Barren collapsed, but she recovered and leaned down, concerned, to look at him. "Are you ok? You're not...dead, are you?" Tentatively, she prodded him with a hoof, but he did seem to be breathing. "Err..." Perhaps this strange buck would not make good company and she should just leave him here now.

Awakened by the poke off a sharp hoof in his side he awoke, "Damn it. I am so sorry. You see I fall asleep, at random." said the buck as he stood. As he looked the doe up in down he said " My name is Barren, and you are?"

"Well, that sounds like a problem," she said, smiling at him. "Perhaps somewhere there is an herbalist who can help. I'm not acquainted with any, though." Shadelight tilted her head slightly. "My name is Shadelight. What brings you here, Barren?"

"Ah you know this and that, Trying to find my brother. That sort of thing." The buck said eyeing up the doe, " What brings a doe like your self out here, all alone I assume?"

"Your brother? I haven't seen anyone but my occasional offspring." Shadelight laughed. "I live not far from here. I do admit, it is rather...lonely."
