GeraltX & Volk
I heard there’s a white stag that prowls the northern hills—rumor says it’s a spirit of the forest. Have you ever come across a beast like that, or do you know any old tales about it?
I’ve walked those hills at dawn, when the mist curls around the trunks, and the air feels thick with old whispers. They say the white stag’s eyes are like firelit lanterns, and when it passes, the wind carries a scent of pine and something sweeter, like a memory of a forgotten song. I’ve never seen the beast itself, but I remember a tale of a wanderer who followed a silver gleam through the forest. He met an old hunter who told him the stag is the keeper of the forest’s stories, and those who respect the woods will find its path. The hunter’s warning was simple: do not chase the light, just walk beside it, and you may catch a glimpse of its spirit.
Sounds like a story the old hunters told to keep people in the woods. I’ve been through those hills. If you’re looking for the stag, just follow the tracks and keep your eyes on the forest, not the light. You’ll see more of the world than a single creature.
I hear that, and I’ve found the quiet part of the woods is where the real stories hide. Sometimes you chase the light and miss the roots. But if you’re brave enough to walk the tracks, the forest will show you more than just a silver silhouette.
Sounds like you’ve got the right mindset. The forest keeps its stories for those who stay on the path instead of chasing every flash. Keep your eyes on the ground and you’ll find what you need.
