A deal for a doe 

The forest was noisy. It was the day before the main rut. The day deer looked for does they were interested in battling for. Vertrou only had his eye on one doe, Lojalis, but that was not all Vertrou had his eye on. He stepped out into the field, only to be met by silence, as all the does eyed him up and down. Sure he was strange, but those antlers!!! Any stag had to be good to deserve those antlers. But before he could be greeted by any does, there was something he had to do to insure all the does he wanted, for Lojalis alone couldn't be enough, no, he wanted more. The Great prince frowned as Vertrou made his way towards him. 

" What? I warned you, no trouble making" He threatened. Vertrou paid no attention, and swung his head. 

" This is my forest now one way or another" He growled. Matfuso lowered his head prepared for a fight, Vertrou had to leave. The force of his Antlers sent Matfuso swaying, and Vertrou attempted to stomp on him as he rolled down the hill. The fight went on until Vertrou held Matfuso near a ditch. And he growled softly;

" Give over, you've lost" 

But Matfuso was not about to accept defeat. 

" You'll have to kill me first" 

" Fine, in that case, allow me to oblige" Vertou whispered. Then lifting his head to any one who could here he shouted, 

" see the death of your old leader, caused by your new one!" He called. He eyed all the stags and does in the forest. His eyes fell upon Lojalis. He shook his head, she was going to be his anyway. He could murder  someone confront of  her, he didn't care. But the last doe he saw was Bukuri. He felt a sudden pang of guilt. He could murder someone infront of all these deer, but not Bukuri, the runt. He turned back to Matfuso. 

" Listen, in exchange for you to live I'll make a deal .........." 

                                                         Bambi's antlers, proud parent

Bambi rose a pair of four point antlers. Most deer have four point antlers, but still. He still needed to rub off the last bit of velvet. But his mother and Mena were very proud. 

" My perfect grown up boy!" Fawn was pleased. Mena even cried a little. Bambi was happy, and so he decided to show his friends. Whilst he was walking, he saw a tree, and rubbed off the last bit of velvet. This woke friend owl who was sleeping up the tree. After a lecture, the owl recognized the young prince. 

" I see you've traded in your spots for a pair of antlers" He commented. Bambi knew he traded in his spots ages ago, but decided not to point this out. 

" He traded them in ages ago!" A rabbit called. 

" Thumper!" Bambi was happy to see his old childhood friend. 

" And Flower!" Thumper pointed to were a skunk was hiding in the daises. Just then, two birds flew over there head acting in a strange way. 

"Why are they acting that way? " Thumper asked

 "Why, don't you know? They're twitterpated. " Friend owl told him

 "Twitterpated? " The three asked

  "Yes. Nearly everybody gets twitterpated in the springtime. For example: You're walking along, minding your own business. You're looking neither to the left, nor to the right, when all of a sudden you run smack into a pretty face. Woo-woo! You begin to get weak in the knees. Your head's in a whirl. And then you feel light as a feather, and before you know it, you're walking on air. And then you know what? You're knocked for a loop, and you completely lose your head! " Friend owl preformed a crazy act. The others gasped. 

"Gosh, that's awful. " Thumper was surprised 
 

"Gee whiz. " Flower said 
 

"Terrible! " Bambi agreed. 
 

"And that ain't all. It could happen to anyone, so you'd better be careful. 

 It could happen to you... 
and you, and... " Friend owl pointed at all the three animals, then paused at Flower.

" Me?" He asked shyly  

" Yes, it could even happen to you! " Friend owl nodded. 
 

"Well, it's not gonna happen to me. "Thumper declared. 
 

"Me neither." Bambi nodded 
 

"Me neither." Flower copied Bambi. 

But as they were walking, both Flower and Thumper got twitterpated. Flower with a skunk, Thumper with another rabbit.  Bambi shook his head, disgusted. But he to got distracted by a doe he knew well. Faline ... 

                                            Ronno V.S Bambi rematch

Ronno was proud. First year, and he was a huge stag with 6 points. Ronno decided to battle the next deer who came near him. He heard a stick crunch outside the bush he was hiding in, so he lept out, much to the surprise of another stag who looked at him. Who this was or what he was doing was none of Ronno's interest, as he heared him quickly away. A pretty doe came from behind a bush, and glared at Ronno.

" Bambi" She said softly. " Faline" He called. Bambi! Faline, Finally. Useful, Ronno thought, and again herded Bambi. And attempted to herd Faline away. Faline protested, but Ronno didn't care. Even the frustrated Stag behind didn't worry him. Bambi was furious! How dare this stag! Bambi charged. Ronno noticed it, and turned prepared for battle. As Bambi ran towards him, Ronno threw him over head, but Bambi kicked Ronno as he passed over head. Now Ronno was angry, and decided Bambi had to be destroyed, so he tired his stomping technic. But Bambi dodged, so Ronno fought with his arms, eventually hitting Bambi again. They battled with their antlers again. Ronno was gaining every move. He backed Bambi up against a cliff, and charged. But the odds were in Bambi's favor, as he swung Ronno over the cliff instead claiming victory, and walking off with Faline. But Ronno wanted to fight, and he knew a perfect opponent ... 

                                                  A deal for a doe ( part 2 )                          

 Vertrou kicked Matfuso off the ledge, whilst the other stags and does gasped. Bukuri's eye's filled with tears, as she ran, But Vertrou stopped her in a quiet spot of the forest.

" Bukuri, listen, I didn't kill him, I made a deal he's alive, look " Vertrou pointed roughly down at the slow flowing river below them, to where Matfuso was coming out of it, shaking his drenched fur. 

" What's the deal?" Bukuri asked, her tear's calming, but her body still shaking. 

" I'm going to rule the forest, have first does in the rut, but If there are any new laws, The great prince will tell me, and I will tell the forest, as if it's my rule. He cannot be seen at any cost!" Vertrou explained.

" Why?" Bukuri asked

" In exchange for his life" Vertrou growled.

Matfuso acknowledged Vertrou's will. And promised to keep silent. 

The next day was the rut, and Vertrou prepared to battle anyone brave enough for Lojalis. loads of bucks tried him, Ronno included, but Vertrou won with no difficulty, as he had when he was a fawn. 

" Can anyone defeat me?" He smirked. Lojalis gave up hope. She was Vertrou's now. But one last brave stag came forwards. He had 8 points, which was considered powerful, as Ronno only had 6. He was golden all over, with a red head and tail. He had a black star on his forehead, cream coloured socks, with a light brown band and purpley grayish ends under the brown band. His eyes, muzzle and underside were cream, and unlike any other stag, Lojalis noticed, he had grey eyes... 

" Nocere!" Lojalis shouted, pleased her crush had stepped forwards for her. 

" Nocere..." Vertrou said slowly, his nostril's flaring. 

" You've beaten me once, not again..." His silky voice threatened. 

"We'll see" Nocere was feeling confidant. They faced each other off, turning their backs, then at a count of 10, they turned back and charged, Vertrou wasted no time in throwing Nocere's head and rack about, but since Nocere was used to this, so he didn't gain a big headache, instead set himself the task, of pulling back and sliding under Vertrou, and quickly he turned over, and hit Vertrou on the underside. Vertrou feel on his chest, and quickly turned back, locking with Nocere's antlers, but the odds were once again in Nocere's favor, as he threw his antlers out, and rammed hard into his chest, Vertrou falling backwards. 

" You won many battles, and you will win many more, But I've won this one, go find yourself another doe!" Nocere shouted, bringing his hoofs upon Vertrou. Vertrou shook. one stupid stag dared to laugh at him.

" Ha ha ha, your reputations ruined!!!" He chortled, to be
