The Unlikely Guardian: How Amalia Saved My Life

Oh, hello there! I’m Subject 1203, but lately I’ve been feeling a bit different. You see, I have a new friend now, her name is Amalia, or Subject 1311 as some might call her. She’s strange and wonderful all at once - her skin and hair are unlike anything I’ve ever seen in the forest. But it’s not her appearance that’s changed my life, it’s her actions. She has these… magics, I suppose you could say, that keep the monsters at bay. For the first time in my life, I feel somewhat safe when she’s around. Can you imagine that, Anonymous? A life where you don’t have to constantly run for your survival? It’s a feeling I never thought I’d know.

Amalia has become more than just a protector to me; she’s like a sister, a mentor, a true friend. She’s been helping me find others of my kind - other deer-like creatures who’ve been living in fear just like I was. Together, we’re building something special… a community. It’s hard to describe, but for the first time, I feel like I belong somewhere. We look out for each other, share what little food we find, and try to create a life beyond just surviving. And through it all, Amalia has been there guiding us. But despite all the joy she brings to our lives, there’s a sadness in her eyes that tugs at my heartstrings.

You see, Amalia longs for something more. She speaks of reconnecting with her people - of becoming one mind with them once again. It’s hard for me to understand fully since my own thoughts are more primal, driven by instinct and survival. But I can see the yearning in her eyes when she talks about it. So I made her a promise: we deer-like folk will do everything in our power to help her achieve her goal. We may not be much in terms of strength or magic, but we’re determined and resourceful from years of evading predators. Maybe together we can find a way to reunite Amalia with her people and give her the peace she so clearly desires.
