Nhosh & Herd

The strangely assembled group entered the land, led by the red deer lead, Nhosh. Each member of his herd had some sort of obvious deformity or uniquiness. He had brought the group together in a sort of 'revolution', as he thought of it. Normally, creatures that looked far different than the fellows of their same species were targeted by predators. Being an outcast of his former herd for his own deadly antler formation, Nhosh found himself struggling bitterly with the predators until he came across another strange one like himself... Wycliff. The red deer who had a condition known as piebald. Not only did it affect her fur, which was over 90 percent white, but it deformed the bones of her muzzle and legs as well, making her look more like a smaller species of deer than what she was.

Two brothers were located next; Huyen and Solange. One with black fur, and the other with deformed anterls. Both were of the White-tailed breed, but Nhosh wasn't picky. It was easy to coax the bucks into joining his group, after explaining how predators would be singling them out. The young Gaudalupe came shortly after. Just a pricket, and with the same dark pigment condition as Huyen.

And finally, there was Meteor. He was no deformity; just an oddity of his species. A fallow buck with black fur. It happened now and then, but was rare. With this rag-tag bunch assembled, Nhosh accustomed them to a strict group life and training. They could handle themselves well in face of danger and were very loyal. Afterall, a stick alone breaks easy, but a stick in a bundle is far harder to crack.

The stag lead the group to the top of the limestone ridge and gazed over the land. Then he gave a loud bellowing roar. It stated clearly that this land was his. Satisfied with the claim, he nodded to the rest of his herd. "Feel free to explore. Meet back before dawn, in that valley." Leaving the others to roam as the willed, Nhosh headed off on his own.
