The moment we stepped into the forest we heard it. Creepy singing that seemed to surround us on all sides.
"One, Two, Fox Deer is coming for you
Three, Four Hear its blood curdeling roar
Five, Six It'll put your senses at risk
Seven, Eight This will seal your fate
Nine, Ten Fox Deer kills again"
The damnd thing was using an old freaky children's song from a popular old movie called Nightmare back when I was a human on Earth. How in the hell was it doing that?! My entire body wanted to freeze and stop running but I knew that if I stopped then for sure the Fox Deer was going to get me. My Detection all of a sudden went off and because we were all still together I knew this was the only time we may be able to help each other. "FLY!" I yelled as loud as I could and jumped praying that my new appendages were going to listen to me. All around me wings opened and people jumped but a good amount of them couldn't even lift off. It was too soon, we were not used to our wings yet. My jump and wing take off was just as bad the first time I did it but the next second when I felt the hairs on the back of my neck stand up the second jump I made did it. I took to the air and it's a good thing I did because below me was silent carnage.
It was silent because all I could hear was that darned song playing on repeat. However what I saw with my eyes, I knew I was going to have nightmares about this beast.

As Debs voice provided me this information it cut through the singing and I could finally hear the poor souls below who couldn't get away from them. There were also 12 Fox Deers in total, one for each of us I guess, they had been waiting to ambush us the minute we hit the inner treeline. At first I couldn't see them clearly, they were so fast then as everyone scattered and the few that didn't make it were killed they all slowed down to converge on their feast.
The Fox Deer had the body of a Deer, it's legs however we're those of a fox. It's tail was long and bushy. The head was also a Deer but, that Bambie look you would expect was replaced by pure horror. It's yellow eyes were cat-like, their horns were larger and looked to be dyed permanently red with blood. The scariest thing of all was that they had fangs. Their entire mouth looked as if it shifted so that these huge fangs could all fit into it. I wondered how the heck they could even close their mouths. It was like looking at a laughing hyena with a deers face.
I wanted to puke, this was a nightmare it had to be. Just like that almost half of us had died, and we didn't even see it coming. Even when we were warned they would be waiting. We should have flown into the forest at the very get go. Hell, now that I recall my father's words he even had said as much! I felt like a moron. Worse yet I felt as if I had failed a secret part of the trial of life.
Am I going to die here, am I going to fail before I've even begun? Those words echoed in my mind as I turned away and flew deeper into the forest. Fleeing from my first encounter with what I knew was what they called the Final Boss.
