The Gentle Visitors and the Secret Hidden
A Quiet Encounter
The morning seemed ordinary until two deer appeared at the edge of the woods, quietly watching as I spread hay.
“Their calm presence immediately caught my attention,” so different from their usual quick movements.
One stayed hidden among the trees, while the smaller one looked at me with gentle curiosity.
A Mysterious Gift
After taking a photo, the smaller deer returned, leaving a neatly wrapped bundle at my feet.
Inside was a wooden box holding a silver locket with intricate engravings.
“I wasn’t sure why it felt significant, only that it did.”
Following the Deer
The deer slowly moved toward the forest, pausing as if waiting for me.
I followed it into a quiet clearing around a tall oak tree,
where the deer vanished, leaving the space peaceful and still.
A Hidden Message
At the oak’s base, a stone tablet matched the locket’s patterns.
Beneath it lay a sealed parchment: “Some journeys begin quietly—follow the signs.”
Holding the locket, I felt ready to discover this unexpected path.
