What a strange event the festival had been. Granted, Nyosit had never been to a festival such as that one, but she doubted that what happened was normal. Giant balls of fire, lighting up the sky like fireworks and producing so much light that night almost seemed to turn day again. If it hadn't been for the clear danger that the large fireballs produced as they descended, it would have been a beautiful sight. But many, if not all, of the participants in the festival didn't know what these falling stars were, so the first instinct had been to run for cover.
The natural fight or flight thought-process that nearly all deer possessed was what had caused the chaos that followed. As boulders slammed into the earth, deer scattered and screamed, running towards the forest, for it was the only protection they knew. Very few deer stood their ground, and even fewer approached the stars once they had landed. Nyo had been apart of that few. She had approached one of the balls of fire and smoke, caution in her eyes and stature. Then she saw them. The deer, all unlike any deer she had ever seen, emerged from the smoke.
After it had ended, Nyo decided to go back to her previous homeland, the one she had been a resident of all her life. She found herself at one of the rivers that weaved it's way through the valley. She had taken a little while to drink and get over the excitement that had resulted during the night. But she found that she wasn't alone. She caught sight of movement in the trees, causing her head to lift and her ears to swivel forward. Whatever it was had a dark coat, one that was difficult to distinguish from the darkness. But she could see a white glow, one that almost resembled white eyes, in the darkness.
Despite not knowing what this creature was, she cautiously stepped forward, silver hooves clicking against the stones that littered the river-floor. She maneuvered herself so that her black and silver-dappled pelt was better hidden and watched closely with glowing green eyes for any movement. Her long wolf-like tail remained still behind her and her head was lightly curved downwards, just in case she needed to use the two, small white horns above her eyes in defense.
