-Careful, Child.- the seasoned stag said to the young buck.
-This is the time of year man comes to these woods. He hides in the trees & stalks in the bush. This is why it is called The Fall. For surely some of your brothers & sisters & cousins will. The Great Stag put man here to test you. To see if you're strong & quick & fleet enough. To teach you to smell the wind & listen to the signs. Your strength & cunning will help you survive these days, to prepare you.-
