Welcome to Gaia! ::

Gracia had finally decided to jump from her tower window and escape her cruel master who had held her hostage for far to many years. She landed softly on her feet and took off once her feet felt ground. She had no idea where she was running to but she knew where she was running from.
The wind ran through her long golden locks as she took off from tree root to tree root. She let the smells of the pine trees and oak trees, the water from the creek that she ran along, fill all her senses. She touched a tree trunk of a spruce tree as she ran past is. Feeling the roughness of the bark under her hand. She smiled and became overwhelmed by the woods that surrounded her. She then heard a branch snap from behind her. She quickly stopped and snapped around in ready for defense.

A cute but, terrified deer poked it's head out from behind a tree. "Awe, you scared me." She reached out a hand to try to get the deer to come near her. "I promise I mean you no harm." The deer slowly crept it's way towards her. It's hooves crunches almost silently on the dry grass below. The deer had finally came close enough to touch but kept it's guard up if it needed to run. Quick movements would scare the poor thing and Gracia did not wish to frighten her in any way. She kept her hand as still as possible as the doe pushed it's head into her hand. Gracia smiled warmly and began to slowly pet the doe. She was soft, her brown fur coat glistened in the sunlight that was playfully dancing on her between the leaves from the treetops. She felt it's heart beating beneath her hands. She was so happy to have something real in her life that was not hurting her. The cold dark eyes of the doe showed that it's life has been that of hiding and running. She began to cry. Her heart was filled with emotions for this single deer. The doe licked the tears from her cheek.
Gracia looked up and smiled. She threw her arms around the doe. "Can I name you?" She asked.
