While on the surface gathering goldenrods and poppies, Sunsight is stopped in his paws by a deer.

A stag, tall and imposing, a deep, unnatural shade of purple. But the head... Dear Starclan, its head is of a wolf! Sunsight presses low to the ground as the not-deer notices him, and slowly lowers its massive head. The horns of the beast tangle into the flowering plants and gently uproots them, and with one graceful shake, dislodge at Sunsight's quivering paws.

"Not everything of the Other Side of Reality you see is malicious." It says, without moving its lips. Sunsight slowly stands. "I am Tali-Vaal, God of Death and Harvest." It smiles at Sunsight and takes a single poppy head with a hoof and holds it to its muzzle. "... Gardening is just like being a god. Remember that the next time you go to harvest. I will not force it of you, but sacrificing one of your crop each harvest will keep you in great favor."

"... I do not worship you." Sunsight mews before he can bite his tongue.

"And I force you not. The Calamity has already provided me with enough flock to make a true God weep with joy." It places the poppy behind the wolf ear it has. Sunsight blinks and notices it has four pairs and three eyes. "Take care, and do not stay long. Once the ab... once the Beasts know you're here, they'll flock here to eat you whole." And with that, it pronks away into the Sulfur Mine Territory.
