The prologue

One day Penny had a strange dream. But this has a little to do with the story which I'm going to relate.

She was standing in a dark place illuminated by a big pale of light with no one around.

She started wandering around then she heard a voice coming from nowhere.

"My mind is clearer now. At last all too well I can see how this story soon will end!"

Penny turned around: still no one in sight.

"If you strip away….the myth….you will see how this story soon will end!"

A moment of silence.

"Penny!"

A human boy appeared. He was wearing a blue shirt with a rainbow printed on. He also looked worried for some reason.

"We've started to believe the things we said of you. We really do believe this talk of deer is true! And all the fan arts we've done will soon get swept away. You'll soon begin to matter more than we fans say!"

The boy relaxed for a while and continued his speech.

"Listen Penny I don't like what I see. All I ask is that you listen to me, and remember I've been one of your best fans all along. You have set your fans on fire; they think they've found a beautiful animal. And you'll hurt them when they'll find they're wrong!"

The fan approached to the peanut and touched her antlers.

"If it weren't for these antlers the myth wouldn't begun, no talk of deer and we called you a peanut. And believe me my admiration for you hasn't died. But every word we say about you today, it gets twisted 'round some other way. And you'll hurt them when they'll find they've lied!"

A girl appeared this time. She was wearing the same blue shirt of the boy. The girl took the boy by his arm and tried to take him away from the place.

"Her famous unshelled form should stay a great unknown also her misleading antlers should disappear from her head, that would be good!" he said to the girl.

"A bow, helmet or a hat with fake antlers would have suited Penny best. She wouldn't confuse no one around, no one at all!"

The boy freed form the girl's catch.

"Listen Penny, do you care for your race? Then you must keep your shell in its place!"

Another boy appeared. This time he helped the girl to take the fanatic away.

"Listen Penny to the warning I give, keep your shell if you want to live! But it's sad to see the chances weakening with every hour! Your fans are blind: too much deer on their minds. It was beautiful, but now it's sour. Yes, everything is going to sour!"

The three guys disappeared in the dark but Penny could still her the fanatic;

"Listen Penny to the warning I give. Keep your shell if you want to live! So come on, come on.

Listen to me, listen to me….!"

Penny woke up.
