My devotion to the deer adds an intriguing balance to my fiery essence. On the surface, fire and deer might seem like opposites, one fierce and consuming, the other graceful and elusive, but that contrast is precisely why he chooses it.
The deer represents gracefulness and subtle, it moves through the world with awareness, never lingering where danger lurks, yet always seeking the next path forward. Fire, like the deer, doesn't stay still. It spreads, adapts, reshapes the land. I see fire not as reckless destruction, but as purposeful transformation, just like the deer's journey through the wild.

In the heart of his druidic practice, I honor the deer for its agility, foresight, and quiet strength. It teaches him that fire must be wielded with wisdom, much like how the deer knows when to run and when to fight. I merely burn, I moves with grace, leaving behind renewal rather than ruin.

Perhaps I received a sign, a stag appearing at the edge of the blaze, unafraid, guiding me forward. Or maybe the moment came in meditation, as I envisioned the flame and the deer running in unison, unstoppable yet mindful.
