A King and His Subjects

Soft flurries of snow fell onto the icy ground below as the night drew on. The sky was usually seen at this hour, but the clouds prevented anything to shine through. Even the moon’s glow didn’t seem to penetrate through the thick layer of clouds.

Below, atop a cold, grassy knoll, a white stag with eyes of emeralds leisurely scanned his forest before continuing his midnight stroll. Winter was finally here, and not a single animal stirred in his forest. Birds were silenced with fat bellies of seed while foxes and rabbits stayed in their dens. Bears and Unicorn alike stayed in their mythical caves as the land was engulfed in Nature’s cloak of sparkling cold white.

Leisurely walking across the field, soft wisps of breath were puffed out as the magical, proud stag patrolled his kingdom with its citizens in eternal rest. His castle of glass remained at the top of Heaven, as they say. His scepter with which he rules with never rusts beneath the rains of Spring. The white stag was truly the king of the forests, and as a noble king, he respected his subjects with a philosophical grandeur that seemed to even mock the heavens. White coat shone of silvery white with antlers the color of sweet vanilla as the snow showered down gently upon the trees and mountains ahead. Eyes as vibrant as crystal were unreadable; no sympathy, no fear, no regret. As noble king of his land, the white stag protects those loyal, and slay those who threaten the innocent. When the age of the Dragon Heir arises, he shall ride into battle with his subjects, and possibly die peacefully here on the soil of his home like any gran king… But for now, he scans his empire in peace, with only the snow and the concealed stars to keep company.

As a noble king of the forest, he shall watch over those who sleep, and protect those who live.
As a noble king, the white stag shall rule the monarchy of green, and vanquish those who threaten.
As a noble king, he shall watch over this land like those who look down on this world like the eyes from the gods themselves.
