I just watched, stunned and unable to believe my eyes.
The elk's horns had been lowered to me, and even the way they bowed was so divine and majestic.
Then it lifted its head and took a step back.
I turned back to the luminous figure.
"You are not alone." He said. "When you need me, I have been there for you. At the right time, you will fulfil your destiny."
"Fulfil my destiny?" I was alarmed. "I don't understand what you're talking about. What do you mean you have been there for? Please help me understand."
"Daughter of the red moon. You will understand." He assured me, and just as I was about to start begging, the light began to diminish bit by bit until it was completely gone.
There was no one there.
I could have said that I imagined it all had it been for the white elk who still stood before me.
It was now grazing the grass.
