"Nox"
For a very long time the tribes of the world only worshipped the Sun. The Moon was disregarded, for the same people who praised the Sun for the light and warmth it provided, feared the darkness of night. The Moon was kind and never resentful of the Sun or the people, and even though the Sun's domain was day and her's was night, sometimes she could be faintly seen in the early hours of morning where she would watch and admire the people as they arose.
Suddenly, a shift began to happen within one tribe. Slowly at first, beginning with curiosity. Someone noticed a flower that would only begin to bloom as twilight began to blanket the world. With a little bit of bravery they began to observe more instead of retreating to shelters as night began to fall. All sorts of wonders began to appear; colorful and elegant moths would dance in the night sky akin to the vibrant butterflies of day, tiny specs of white light glittered across the entire sky in intricate patterns, the Moon herself with her gentle glow, casting just enough light across open fields to be able to witness such "new" discoveries. And just as the Sun was worshipped, now so was the Moon for she and her domain were simply misunderstood.
While she loved the people, she knew that daylight was suited best for them. This is when they were able to hunt and successfully gather food and when they were able to see best because their eyes were not like those of the owl or cat. So to show her appreciation for her newfound adoration, the Moon sent a gift; a beautiful stag with a pelt the same color as the night sky and a sparkling silver bridle made from stardust and meteors that would softly glowly in the moonlight. A gentle creature of peace, presented to the tribe to ward off the dangers of night and to remove negative energies so the people could rest well and fully recover to enjoy the day.
The Moon would continue to love from afar, still to this day being seen adoring her people in the early hours of morning from time to time.

Ethically sourced! This mount was no longer wanted and slightly abused. Rather than to see him tossed, I wanted to give him another opportunity to be loved and cherished. This animal was NOT killed solely for my art.
