Title: Reindeer
Prompt: Reindeer
"What is it?" Dahlia asked.
"A reindeer," Cara said.
The creature huffed through its nose at them, the expelled air clearly visible in the chilly air.
"Is it like a normal deer?" Dahlia wondered. "They're good eating."
Cara wasn't certain. She knew only a few things about reindeers and one of them was that they were only seen in D'Hara during winter as the herds migrated. Another thing was that a powerfully built male reindeer was the steed of the Winter Father, he who delivered gifts to good children at the solstice.
It was just a silly myth, she knew, but Cara felt a prickle of doubt.
"Let's leave it alone," she said.
The reindeer nodded its head approvingly at her and wandered off into the forest.
