Pale morning light seeps through the slats of the blinds. A soft, deliberate knock echoes, and when you pull the door open, all you find is a woven basket left on the threshold. Inside, curled upon itself, lies a tiny stag with fur like toasted cinnamon. Its eyes glow with a faint, otherworldly light, and its delicate hooves are sheathed in smooth, dark stone. It watches you, utterly still, waiting to see what you will do.
