One hour before,

finding the hoof prints in

the soft earth, she had

followed the trail of

broken twigs and

occasional nibbled leaf

until she had located it.

Creeping slowly and

quietly, not making

even the slightest

sound, she remained

undetected.

She had stumbled

across the mysterious

circles in a clearing in

the forest, and watched

as the deer

approached them. With

a slight twitch of its ears,

the deer stepped

indifferently through the

vanished. Completely

vanished.

The girl let out a gasp,

the circles to

investigate…
