507 AV,23th of Spring -late afternoon.
The ground was filled with heavy snow,so the horse walked slower even if the underground had a plat form,from the snow made it to seem like hills all around the place.They headed over across the forest,going along side with it and not through it,as at some point small sounds broke the silence.Syn stopped also moving his ears and breathing in the cold air,Diane took a glace around them but for now nothing was seen,only snow.
"That is weird,I think I heard a sound..Shh,let's move on Syn." said Diane still double checking the surroundings with her eyes,now turning into a deep ruby color still being aware of someone or something being out there.It didn't last for to long,until another sound in the snow,near the forest was heard.Diane didn't thought twice and pulled the bow in her left hand,letting Syn to walk quietly as possible,looking at the trees from the forest.
"I think it might be an animal..I don't think it's a person,I doubt it."said on a low tone,when she saw something jumping in the snow around,it seemed like something rather small and not to colorful.It was white as the snow.A small rabbit which she spotted and a grin formed from her lips,pulling more the string of the bow holding the arrow between her two fingers.
"You are mine little one..Syn,we can get some extra food today for Dad.Just that lucky..huh?"while her horse stopped shaking his head from the small amount of snow gathered on his long hair,and Diane saw again the little animal shooting the arrow at him,but missed it.
"Damn it!I can't believe that I missed him..Syn,let's go! I am not gonna let the training to go to a waste,this is my chance to prove myself the skills." taking the harness in her right hand,pulled it to the left side entering in the forest as only the breeze form the cold wind was heard now.
I wonder where did that rabbit went?I swear I did saw him around here,it's still hard to catch him with this heavy snow and him being all white,couldn't he be at least gray?geez..! thought to herself when once again heard movements in the snow,not to far from her;quickly took out 2 arrows with the fingers hold onto them,form the right hand the long bow arched pretty much waiting for him to appear.
"Come on..out where ever you are,Rabbit,I know you're out there."with a small smile,Diane then spotted his long ears,and just when the rabbit jumped once again she shot the arrows at a like 45 degrees right to him,heard small faint sound and then silence.
"Oh..I think I got it Syn!"said all excited,the ruby nuance turned to a more deep color and walked over there with her horse,but decided it will be best if she will go on foot from that certain distance.She searched for a short while,walking carefully through the snow when found the rabbit,picked it up still his body a bit warm and carried it to the horse.Also,of course took out the two arrows,with small trails of blood on them;she put them back in the backpack along with the bow and tied the rabbit by the back of it.
"Dad will be so happy about this..Though somehow I do feel sorry for this poor rabbit.Oh,well.."said sighing a bit and hopped on Syn,he galloped faster and faster with the cold wind blowing in their faces,but she was pleased.
After a while,they got back home while Syn was tied up by the tree as usual and Diane took the backpack and the rabbit,stepping faster to the home,where she was her father outside getting ready to go to the shop.
"Father!!I am home..look what I got due the training!"shouted Diane all happy and joyful,like a small child.Her father couldn't believe his eyes what he saw,but made him happy and proud of his daughter and her accomplishment,that brought a few tears to his eyes.
"I am proud of you Diane..you did a great job.That's my daughter!" exclaimed her Dad and kissed her forehead,taking the rabbit inside as both went in the house and begun to talk about how did she do it and drank some warm tea.More memories were told at that small table,in the warm room..even though snow outside covered everything in sight.More adventures will await this young lady.Dun-dun.
The End.
