upstream view of the dessie river

Walking leisurely on horseback, he heard the sound of animals. His nimble hands took out an arrow and aimed it at a bush and then released it, along with the unique sound of chaos came Revar's pain, smiling. He had successfully shot a game animal. But it should have been two, where the hell was the other one.

His eyes glanced up slowly, his sensitive ears hearing a slow movement away from him, then the sound of water being touched. She thought the animal had gone into the water. Of course he wondered which game would prefer to leap into the lake.

Immediately dismounting, his archer walked closer to see the results of his arrows. Staring in wonder for a few moments before putting it on the horse's back. That's a great catch in the middle of the forest by yourself. galloping back, in the distance the upper reaches of the lake could be seen dazzling from the reflected light. Spurring the horse's steps to quickly approach.

Hm, it's not a deer, it's much smaller. as if curious about the taste. She had mistaken the animal for her quarry.

Sitting on the horse's back, she seemed to enjoy the view for a while, her eyes staring blankly. Footsteps trampled, it looked new but no one seemed to be around the lake. She forgot the sound that made her capture vanish.

His focus distracted, Rever stared intently, the water was bubbling, small air balloons were coming out of the water. What animal was under the water, Rever aimed the arrow into the water, almost releasing it, but someone came out with a body full of wounds.

His gaze was blank, he remembered the deer caught behind him, the girl looked silent with red eyes. "What was she hiding just now, with that naked body." He thought but couldn't believe it.

It was not an animal but a human. Why would that child hide from him and enter the water.

Valeye folded one arm anxiously. It looked like it was in pain. Its brown hair looked shiny as the sunlight reflected off it. Seeing that he was reminded of the little boy who passed by him. Is he the same child. He thought silently.

"Don't arrow me sir, I'm sorry but I don't have the courage after you're going to arrow me." The tremulous voice sounded like a beautiful melody. His lips smiled haughtily.

Her whole body was covered in wounds, her lips were torn, but Revar took comfort in that. Somehow it looked like a beautiful painting. Very beautiful. A lake with a beautiful view. That was the upper reaches of Dassie Lake. Its silhouette was a feast for his eyes.

She had a habit of staring at something serene for a long time. She couldn't be sure if this would end quickly. But this moment was truly a great miracle. He had used up his entire manifestation in one year. No matter how much was left, it was worthy of being called a fitting compensation.

The prince on horseback who was carrying his kills, blood on his hands. The distance between the two was obvious. Even a woman's cold stare was evident in the man's eyes. It looked even more painful than when his friend hit him with a bruise.

He said so, looking down even deeper. But there was no answer from the lord of the horse. As the sun was about to set with its gradient kneeling, the man just left her casually without a sound.

On the way back, Ortiz's group and Carl met at the fork in the road. Everyone stared in confusion. The light was almost dark, and the trees seemed to be blowing from an invisible wind.

"Is Duke lost." Carl worried that he didn't want Dessie to be the thing that made Duke hate this town. Her face really described this. She was unexpected, if it was true.

"Um, is that a good catch, you look very satisfied." Lexcy chattered cheerfully, but turned suspicious but recognized Revar's prowess which was his nature.

"Deer cubs are a hard thing to find here, because they are hunted so much that the jumbla is dwindling." The head of the regional leadership explained. How unfortunate. In Revar's ears it sounded defiant even though his face was still unmoving. "Eating its meat can be trusted not to become a ghost's meal even though I have never seen one in my life in this region." he said, making lexcy feel like she was hearing a bedtime story.

They rode their horses toward the place where they would spend the night. That place in a few years would become a very profitable natural resource. The natural gas was the purest and the largest which would have tremendous wealth. It could become the monetary support of the kingdom.

"You're roasting this deer, isn't he too small?" Lexcy seemed unable to eat the baby deer meat. There was nausea but the aroma of the almost cooked meat was very tempting. Her eyes were busy gazing into the forest valley around them.

Rever flashed a smile, but his eyes remained unwavering as he stared at the baby deer roasting on the glowing coals, looking like the devil behind his handsome face. "The soft flesh makes me want more." He said so. It sounded ambiguous but they accepted it. 'Ah, she should have gotten two deer cubs, but the other one escaped. Her mind soared.

Ortiz gave her a puzzled look. Like a message. But everything was already in front of them and ready to eat. "The prince always uses the duke's things, I think that scarf is his too, tell me if I'm wrong." His words were directed at Lexcy. But instead of returning she smiled at Revar happily.

"He won't scold me for this red scarf, anyway this place is too cold for my neck, it's almost freezing." lexcy explained nonchalantly but avoided rever's eyes.

"Are you going back hunting tomorrow?" Ortiz spoke again, but it was a question to Rever. It was said like a clichéd gesture. Not answering him. It was a decision.

"A delicious meal." he said then.
