4 A family of 5

Little noises could be heard from the 3 newborns as they nuzzled up close to their mother for comfort within a poorly lit cave.

There was 2 females and a male, the male deer had short and messy brown hair, black eyes, black hooves and black antlers and although newly born he was the first to begin walking and stood near his sisters to keep them safe.

The first female deer was a small version of her mother in looks but had grey hair, brown hooves and no horns which is common for female deer spirit beasts, she was also the second to stand on her four hooves and stuck by her mothers side and began to be groomed by her mom.

However unlike her brother and sister the final female deer did not move from her spot and looked a lot different from her family, she had pale white hair, a pinkish nose, golden eyes, grey hooves, surprisingly she had a pair of white antlers on her head and a little black birthmark on her forehead the shape of a crescent moon.

The little white deer sat on the ground in a daze as her large golden eyes were filled with confusion, as her brother approached and urged her onto her feet she woke up and became quite timid.

After some time she finally stood up but sensed an aura from her father which let her feel overwhelmed so she hid behind her brother looking quite pitiful.

Seeing this action the usually stern looking father named 'Old Grey' had his eyes flicker with confusion but his expression gradually softened and joined the mother and kids for some time before departing the cave.

On the mountain named Ever-Reach Mountain, outside the cave there were different species of spirit beast families, some live on the mountain top all their lives while others use their lives to grow strong through battle venturing down the mountain fighting off enemy spirit beasts and collecting spiritual herbs and fruit to promote their strength.

Upon leaving the cave the father was greeted with congratulations from many different types of spirit beasts who lived on the mountain top with him.

They held great interest towards the newborns and showed respect to him due to his position within the community and his individual strength.

Gifted with a couple of spiritual herbs and fruits Old Grey returned to the cave with a thoughtful look on his face.

What greeted him were 3 pairs of eyes glowing inside the dark cave, each showing serious, welcoming and timid expressions as the 3 little deer sat by their sleeping mother.

Suddenly the timid deer 'little white' had a puzzled expression on her face as she sniffed the air of the cave which was filled with the scent of the spiritual herbs and fruits and she grew excited.

Noticing her actions her father was doubtful why she was acting out of character but dismissed it as he went to the back of the cave near a big boulder and pushed it aside, revealing a small hole In the wall with a few of his treasures.

After storing away the gifts 'old grey' joined his wife and kids and snuggled up to them with a tired expression and fell into a deep sleep.

The next day in the morning the cave was filled with panic as 'little white' somehow disappeared only to be found by the boulder sleeping peacefully.

Lured by the smells she made many attempts to push the Boulder but with her weak and newborn body she exhausted herself and fell asleep right by her dads treasures, which would be the only place she would rest in the coming years.

Her father no longer brushed her actions off as a coincidence and decided to pay attention to her as she grows, hopefully she may have a special talent for training or a unique skill.
