a chance encounter

[ID: A digital painting of a deer in a forest. Small purple, blue, pink, and white wildflowers are in the grass, and ivy and lichen creep up the tree trunks. The deer is in profile, turning to look at the viewer; a large white and gold halo sits between his antlers, which casts light all around him. There are mushrooms growing on his antlers, and flowers and leaves sprout from his fur. One eye has a glowing white pupil.]
