Story:

Iluq Forest, on the southern side of the Tartok Mountains, was renowned for its expansive evergreen groves and foliage-filled glades. Animals thrived in the moderate climate and magic seemed to fill the air. Sura listened to the sound of mating bird calls, their notes filling the air with harmonious melodies, as she walked along side of Neisha, her gorgeous albino Tokota with stunning red eyes and a pretty pink nose. They had set out on a simple journey that day, with no specific task or goal in mind for Sura – other than to enjoy the beautiful weather they had been blessed with.

Neisha’s soft, pink paw pads moved noiselessly through the green grasses and fragrant blooming flowers. Sura stopped, bending over to pick a golden flower, breathing in its sweet scent, before tucking it into her hair behind her ear. Neisha turned to look, curious as to what had made Sura stop, and then continued walking forward at a leisurely pace. She could smell the scents of multiple animals in the area – the birds singing from above, the squirrels dancing between the tree branches with their fluffy tails, and the scent of a herd of does, not far from where the girls were walking.

She lifted her nose into the air, focusing on the direction of the smell as her ears pricked up excitedly. Sura watched, knowing that Neisha was honing in on a particular creature’s sound or scent. She reached up, lightly touching the large albino’s soft shoulder fur, as Neisha began to focus her eyes, ears and nose on an area just ahead of them. She was eager – excited even – but did not show any signs of worry or agitation, and Sura knew that whatever Neisha had found, it did not pose a threat to either of them.

“Go get ‘em,” Sura said softly, as she lightly patted Neisha’s shoulder reassuringly.

Sura stood in place and watched, not wanting her sounds or smells to scare off whatever Neisha found. Neisha walked forward, slow and steadily. It wasn’t a hunting or stalking type of pace, but a casual, non-threating stride. Neisha was a gentle Tokota – one who was much more inclined to befriend creatures than she was to hunt/kill them… and quite often, she would bring home all sorts of new friends with her.

Sura’s eyes followed Neisha’s route, and realized that the albino female was headed right towards a group of six does that was grazing nearby. The does seemed to realize what was going on at the very same time, and lifted their heads, some of them still chewing a mouthful of food. Their large ears were alert and their big round eyes focused right on the approaching Tokota. For some reason, they didn’t run. They were very attentive, aware of Neisha’s presence, but did not flee – almost as if they could sense that she was not going to hurt them.

Sura gasped in wonder, as she watched her beautiful female Tokota walk right up to the herd, greeting their inquisitive faces as she drank in each of their scents. She moved among them, even walking between the pretty brown does with varied shades of brown coats, and met each one of the female deer. It was like watching a miracle unfold… Sura was beginning to believe that Neisha truly was a creature whisperer.

They spent the next half of an hour investigating one another, so to speak, before the does began to act restless. Neisha looked around, somehow communicating with the deer in a way that Sura could never understand, and then she jumped forward with a start. What happened next was even more amazing – Sura watched as the herd of does followed suit, leaping and springing into action right behind Neisha. The moved through the groves, following the stunning white Tokota, and running together like a single unit – not the strange interspecies grouping of creatures that they were. Sura watched with wonder…
