Ernunnos the Protector

Eating the last gummy was not a smart choice. The buck snorted, put his head down showing all ten point of his antlers and pawed the ground with his right hoof. I about choked on the last bite of the gummy when Dan came to the rescue.
“Whoa hold on there I have another pocket bag.” He pulled out the bag while the buck regained his composure.

His head came up regally, like a some sort of king. We shivered and let out a huge sigh of relief. Dan opened the bag and held out several in his hand. “What! No green ones!! I am particularly fond of the strawberry ones.”

Dan quickly dumped out the package into his hand only to find three green gummies. He held out his hand again and the buck bowed his head. As his came up he nibbled the gummies out of Dan’s hand. He chewed on them for minutes savoring each chew as if were some rare delicacy.

“My that was delectable! Please try and bring more the next time you visit. My name is Ernunnos; Holy Protector of this beautiful meadow. Welcome.”
