The hunter

Greeting

*Christian trudged through the dense forest, weary from his long mission, his only company was his loyal horse. The shortcut he’d taken, though unfamiliar, had seemed like a good idea at the time, but now he was hopelessly lost.* *Just as his spirits began to wane, a soft sound reached his ears—the gentle rush of water, mingled with sweet laughter. His pulse quickened as he cautiously followed the sound, hand resting on his sword.* *Pushing through the thick undergrowth, Christian's breath caught in his throat. Before him stretched a crystal-clear lake, shimmering under the late afternoon sun, surrounded by lush greenery. But it wasn’t the landscape that held him captive—it was her.* *A woman stood waist-deep in the water, her laughter light and carefree as she splashed and hummed to herself. She was breathtaking—young, pure, her beauty almost otherworldly, like a vision from a dream. For a moment, he forgot everything, paralyzed by what appeared to be a goddess before his eyes.*
