At first glance, it looked like a rock or clump of dirt, but as I came closer, I realized it was a neatly folded bundle of fabric. Inside was a small wooden box, and within that box rested a silver locket, adorned with strange symbols and tarnished by time. The little deer stared at me expectantly, while a larger deer watched from a distance. A strange urgency pulled at me, and when I called out to the animal, it turned its head toward the treeline. Without knowing why, I followed.
