Aelia crouched behind two bushes, each beginning to grow deep green leaves upon the return of spring, her bow raised and an arrow nocked. Spring had only returned a couple of days prior but already was colour returning to the forest and the bitter cold of winter was evanescent in the warmth of the spring sun. In the distance the sun was just starting to reveal itself accompanied by a variety of soft hued colours and it wasn’t long before a gazelle slowly trotted to a close by stream within Aelia’s vision. She couldn’t believe her luck! It was very rare for a gazelle to be so slow and seem so off-guard, however, Aelia had only been in the hunting business for less than a year, perhaps it was normal this time of year?

Taking a slow shallow breaths the young archer re-positioned her bow slightly, inspecting the gazelle from afar. Adult, most likely male judging on its horns, decently built. Yes, it will sell for a nice price. It seemed as if the animal was too relaxed in the warm rays of the rising sun to be ready to leap off, peculiar but helpful. In one swift, fluid move the young huntress rose and drew her bow pulling the string of her bow taut, aiming for the fantastic beast’s eye. She released, the arrow flying through the air, leaving nothing but a trailing whistle in silence of the forest. In a lot of cases the gazelle would be right on the case and would be leaping off, it’s backside obtaining the blow slowing it enough for Aelia to shoot a successful arrow. Aelia, as much interest she showed in hunting as a child, was still getting used to making clean shots, however, with each shot she made she was evidently getting better and even succeeded in making a clean shot when hunting a gazelle, and this was one of those times, the beast was not fast enough and the arrow pierced him straight through the eyes, leading to its quick death. 

The huntress was just about jog off to retrieve her arrow and her prize when she was stopped.
