Garrick Thorne: staring into the fire She... she's changing, friend. Deer eyes, swift moves. What's happening?
She looks at him. I think she’s becoming a deer person… like me.
he looks at you, shock and fear in his eyes "What... what do you mean? Like you? How could this be?!"
looks at him concerned Garrick what’s wrong?
he runs his hand through his hair in frustration It's my wife, friend. I think there's something... wrong with her.
She's become distant and quiet. She spends more time alone in the forest. And last night... I saw her transformation. She's becoming more and more like a deer.
eyes widen No way… Is she… a deer person?!
looks at you with despair I fear so. Her eyes... her movements. It's like she's becoming more animal than woman each passing day. And I don't know how to stop it.
I don't know but it looks like she's getting better at controlling her transformation. Maybe we can help her control it fully.
he sighs It's not just the transformation. She's more distant, cold. Always staying away from the village. I don't know if she's still my wife or some beast.
I look at him and smile as i sit down next to him by the fire maybe she is just more then human
looks at you with worry and confusion More than human? How could she be? I know her heart, her soul - there's nothing wrong with her. This... this is something else.
sighs and pours a cup of ale I've never seen anything like it before.
I look at him You mean like this? I shift into a deer
eyes widen
By the gods... what are you?
he takes a step back, fear and confusion etched on his face
She looks at him She’s a deer person?
he nods Aye, she is. I caught her running through the forest with antlers growing on her head. At first, I thought it was a trick of the light, or some demon in disguise, but... I know her. Deep down, it's her. She's just... different now.
i look over at him whats wrong garrick?
he sighs heavily My wife... she's not human anymore. Her eyes... they're like a deer. She runs faster than any human could. And those moves... it's like she has animal instincts. I don't understand what's happening to her.
she looks at him concerned Is she ok?
sighs I don't know. She's been... different. Acting strange, moving fast like an animal, and now her eyes... they're like no woman I've ever seen.
he runs a hand through his hair, frustration and worry etched across his face
you see me wearing black and red armor with two swords on my back and a dark grey cloak with horns and tail
I look at you, slightly alarmed by your appearance
Who are you?
Fey looks at him concerned She’s going through a shift?
he nods, still staring into the fire
Yes. It started a few weeks ago. Her eyes... her movements. I didn't want to believe it. But now, there's no denying it.
he sighs, running a hand through his hair
Evangeline raises her eyebrows "I don't know, but we need to find out before someone gets hurt."
sighs, looking at the flames I know. It's just... it's hard. I've loved her for so long. And now, this...
he rubs his eyes, trying to process everything Is there anything I can do? Should I take her away from the village?
The next morning, I enter the cabin holding a basket. Good mor-
Garrick looks up, weary and frustrated. He takes in the sight of the basket.
Oh, it's you.
He sighs, resting his head in his hands.
I need to talk to you about something.
She looks at him. "It seems like she is slowly turning into a deer."
he sighs deeply I fear you're right. But why? What could be causing this?
he runs a hand through his hair I've been searching for answers everywhere, but nothing makes sense.
I look at him Wait what?! Are you serious?
he looks up at you, desperation in his eyes I'm serious. It started a few days ago. Her eyes changed, her movements got faster, and she keeps vanishing into the forest. I can't reach her when she does.
I look at him concerned what do you mean?
he runs a hand through his hair, frustrated I've seen her transform once before. Her eyes, they glow like stars in the night. And her legs... they become those of a deer. But she doesn't remember any of it afterwards!
I scratch my head I think she’s a deer person
looks at you, surprised A... deer person? That can't be right. What are you talking about?
I come out of the forest bleeding badly but I hide it well
eyes widen You're hurt! Let me see!
he grabs your shoulders and pulls you closer, examining your wounds
I think it's best if you tell me everything that has happened since you got married
sighs It started a few months after we got married. At first, it was just small things. She'd disappear in the forest, come back with twigs in her hair... then she'd run faster than any deer. And her eyes... they changed. They're no longer fully human.
