At last the edge of the forest was coming into view. It meant Ilan had only a small amount of ground left to cover. In his arms he carried what seemed to be a bundle of cloth. Soft cries mixed with the chirping of the early morning birds and the sighs of trees. The young faun had been woken up in the middle of the night by the rumbling earth, some sort of strange happenstance caused an earthquake. It had disturbed a nest of deer, of which he was now carrying a single fawn. For the life of him he could not find the parents or the other babies. He adjusted the weight of the animal in his arms, it was getting quite heavy after a while. The fawn protested, his cries intensifying. Ilan patted his head gently, the animal closed his eyes contently.

It wasn't likely to survive on its own. Ilan tried to come up with some sort of a plan, as the forest would soon change into plains and meadows. His otherwise carefree expression turned into a worried frown. He searched the trees for any sign of his kindred species. To his left, a little deeper into the forest he noticed a creek. It gave him an idea. He expertly darted through the foliage and bushes until he reached the shallow creek. The clear water ran through the forest like a small river. 
[i]I can't believe I didn't notice it before.[/i] 
Granted he had been woken up in the middle of the night and found the fawn shortly after. He hadn't slept since then. His eyes felt heavy and his body sluggish. He walked up to the edge of the creek and flopped down onto the forest floor with a sigh.

He supressed a yawn and placed the bundle beside him on a bed of leaves with the greatest care. Ilan had tried to make the deer stand but to no avail, he suspected it had sprained one or multiple legs due to the earthquake. He produced a water skin from his messenger bag. It would be dangerous to have the deer sip from the water by itself, Ilan was afraid he would fall into the creek. No need to traumatize it any more. He filled it up to the brim and stored it inside his bag, taking out a second smaller one to give to the deer. Once it was full of clear and fresh water he held it to the animals mouth carefully, lilting it slightly so the water dripped out slowly. The fawn seemed to enjoy it as it cried everytime Ilan tried to take away the water skin. 

He cupped his face in his hands, his elbows leaning on his knees. Jade eyes stared into the seemingly endless depths of the forest. Suddenly and with a start he picked up on the crushing of leaves and the breaking of thin branches on the forest floor. Of course the deer were drawn to the source of water! It didn't sound like they were too far away, but they were likely too afraid to approach. Ilan unwrapped the young fawn. It looked up at him with large brown eyes, crying softly. He bent down to kiss its head softly. A smile lit up his face.

Of course Ilan wasn't sure it was a deer he heard and he knew perfectly well that leaving the deer behind would be the same as dropping him into the creek. That's why he hid between the shrubbery, to watch what would be coming. He readied his slingshot and took his lyre from his back. If it was something else he might need to "calm" it with his music. The fawn realized it was alone now and the cries intensified. It tugged at Ilan's heartstrings, but it was the only way for it be found. He leaned back against the base of the schrub and felt his eyes getting heavy again. Hopefully he wouldn't fall asl......
