The trees cast shadows on the lush green grass of Grahtwood. The forest buzzed, and chirped with wildlife on this particular humid, and sunny afternoon. Mikoon could be found underneath one of the massive trees, constructing arrows, for the days ahead. Silently wrapping sinew around the spine, she could hear a number of animals making their way toward her. Their movements slow, and steady stopping occasionally to, what she was assuming, watch for predators.
In the side of her eye, she saw the massive buck, its size cast a huge shadow next to her. It's antlers could have easily been four foot tall and three feet off it's body. It stopped to spot her, she continued to chew the sinew for the next wrapping. Behind her she could hear foot steps of another deer coming up next to the buck, and then several trotting hooves uncovered two more doe. They continued past the pair until they reached the edge of the cobble stone path.
Her great-sword lay on her lap as she begun once more to wrap her sinew around the rest of the spine. The pair of deer next to her lowered their heads to inspect her once again, one right after the other. Apparently, they found that she was of no danger. The female doe walked slowly up to the cobble stone path, and walked into the middle of it, her ears twitch forward, to the side and back, listening intently to any incoming carts or horseman. Satisfied, she crossed to the other side, and the other two followed at a faster pace.
She sat down her fifth handmade arrow, and reached into her back pack, and pulled out a small jar. Once she opened it she sniffed it, its earthy damp smell reached her nose. She grabbed one of her arrows from the pile and stuck two fingers into the pine sap. It's smooth sticky texture wrapped and slowly started to slide away from her fingers. She rubbed the glob between her thumb and fore fingers. She started to rub the sap on to the arrows.
The shadow of the buck, a couple of feet away from her, slowly started to walk forward in this slow and confident stride across the road and into the grass on the other side, joining the others, they all walked farther into the distance. It was then, that she began to wonder if deer had their own hierarchy, their own way of living, and if people just thought that they were stupid animals. She rubbed the sap on her arrows in deep thought of this.
