The bellow smoked the fire, ashes falling about the room like a snow fall on a dark night. The body in the center of the room lay quiet, silent, still. For sometime the body had been like this, the night taking the life from the warmth of soul.
She crouched beneath the brush, bow drawn, arrow laced within the strings. The stag was stark white, its horns magnificent and tall. Taking the animal from the earth would not effect the forests life cycle, Orin was certain of that. She would respect the creature even after death, the elders taught her kind to treat nature with such deserved customs.

She was the secretary but he could not approach her. She was important and he was nothing more then trash that littered the streets of the downtown.
He had known her all his life, sense they were children, yet the two had different paths and it had caused the one to drift from the other.

All he had wanted was the destruction and devastation of those who had deserved the end the others had met.
