There were no wounds from arrows or spears. Its enormous antlers shimmered faintly beneath the morning mist, and a strange golden light pulsed beneath its fur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis is no ordinary stag,\u201d whispered Freya, the red-haired huntress, kneeling beside it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"523\" height=\"926\" src=\"https:\/\/amazingworlds.xyz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/image-29.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1837\" style=\"width:840px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/amazingworlds.xyz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/image-29.png 523w, https:\/\/amazingworlds.xyz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/image-29-169x300.png 169w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 523px) 100vw, 523px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The dark-haired woman, Kaela, placed her hand gently against its neck.
