I THOUGHT THEY WERE JUST CURIOUS DEER
Unexpected Visitors
Two deer appeared while I tossed hay. “They weren’t afraid,” which surprised me. The smaller one stared directly and then approached the fence, dropping a “small bundle, wrapped tightly in dark fabric.”
Mysterious Discovery
Inside was a worn wooden box holding a “silver locket… carved with strange symbols.” The deer led me into the woods to a clearing with an ancient oak tree. At its base, I found a stone tablet with the same symbols and a sealed parchment.
A Chilling Message
The note read: “For the one who is chosen: The truth is not safe. The truth is not gentle. But if you seek it, follow the signs.” I realized this was no accident — “I was part of something. Something ancient.”
The Hidden Order
Research revealed a local legend about a secret order protecting “something they call The Veil.” The symbols were their mark, the deer their messengers, and the locket “a key” I wasn’t meant to find. I’m being drawn into a dangerous mystery—one someone clearly wants me to uncover.
