(Isaac’s POV)

As they waited for midnight to come Isaac decided to take a walk around the school. There is a forest nearby and Isaac thought it might be good to take a short walk through the forest. Heading over towards it he got a few curious looks from other students going about their day but they stayed away from him because he looked like he was about to punch someone.

After a 15 minute walk he reached the small forest. There was a gate blocking it off with a no trespassing sign on the gate but Isaac just ignored it and jumped the fence. He knew he was breaking the rules but he didn't care. Too much social interaction in the past few days has made his temper be really close to the surface and any small thing might set him off again. The moment he landed in the forest he felt the presence of nature permeating every fiber of the forest. There was power here and it seemed like it was calling to him. He felt his body begin to relax as he started walking towards the center of the forest. Suddenly a dense fog began to cover the forest but Isaac didn’t realize it as he was lost in a trance. Soon he lost control of his body as he began shapeshifting into a small fox pup. He found himself running and jumping through the forest feeling more alive than he ever had in the past. His only thought was to reach the being calling to him.

As he ran a herd of deer began to run alongside him with a beautiful white stag leading the way. It seemed like the white stag was there to lead his way. Soon he reached the center of the forest where he saw a beautiful woman sitting there with the creatures of the forest sitting around her in harmony. She had long braided hair that was as silver as the moon. She carried a bow and quiver with her and she seemed to glow with an otherworldly beauty. The white stag approached her and bowed its head to her. She placed her hand on its head and began to caress it. The stag took it as her approval and laid down by her side.

Soon she turned her attention to Isaac as he was just standing there in silence. Her voice made Isaac snap out of his frozen state as he walked over to her. She quickly picked him up and sat him in her lap as she caressed him. Isaac looked at her shocked as she just gave him a sad smile. She waved her hand creating a small ball of light before poking it in the center of Isaac’s forehead. Soon it disappeared as Isaac felt a gentle warmth spread through his body. As she said that she began to cry a small amount before she quickly controlled her emotions.

With that the lady vanished as the fog around the forest started to disperse along with the animals. Soon Isaac found himself outside of the forest back in his human form. There was a small golden mark of a bow on the back of his right hand. As Isaac came back to his senses he felt sad that the feeling of being free was gone. With a long sigh he walked back to his dorm house.
