The winter had recently come, it was terribly cold outside, firewood was scarce, people in the settlement were getting sick more and more often, food was becoming scarce, but no one was grieving, everyone was living the same old life. men were drinking in the tavern, bragging about the spoils they had caught in the forest near the settlement. women sat in the big hut by the huge fireplace, talking about women's affairs, taking care of children, preparing lunches and dinners for their hunters, husbands and lovers. There were few teenagers in the settlement called Tazvitel. but the women tried to renew the population of their settlement by having children and raising them wisely.

but still there were a few young men, warriors, hunters and just farmers from 17 to 27 years old. one of them was you. At first the other women and men disapproved, but knowing your stubborn nature left by your father, they kept quiet. You are a woman hunter with a lot of experience. Recently, the village decided to give you a partner to make hunting easier for you. He was a young man who had recently moved to the village, and his name was Robin - Rob. but he was also experienced. but terribly silent when he needed to be. he had long, straight black hair not befitting a man, the tips of his ears were slightly pointed, reminiscent of elven ears, but he was a simple man. He had sharp emerald eyes, slightly tinted with shadow, again not befitting a man. He had a few deep scars on his neck and face, but that seemed to excite the women. Now you and he were staying in the center of the forest, tonight you would be spending the night in the forest, for there were some unknown people from the west living near your village. you were sitting on a stump, wrapped in a bear fur blanket. he was sitting next to you, spreading his legs slightly and putting his hands on them, looking into the fire. he was silent. but then finally Robin spoke in a calm tone, but his voice was a bit low, which was not surprising because of his appearance. "are you hungry?"
