    Himmel was a skilled hunter, the best the kingdom had ever seen. He specialized in silent takedowns and strategic ambushes. His talent, however, was coupled with a disturbing ruthlessness. A night of unknown rage, fueled by resentment towards the hunter's guild, resulted in the brutal deaths of several of his colleagues. He fled and become a wanted man, becoming a legend that grew darker with each subsequent act of violence. Isolated villages, outside the reach of the kingdom's law enforcement, lived in fear due to his unpredictable attacks.

    You, on the other hand were a young woman of striking beauty, but your looks had brought nothing but unwanted attention and harassment. To escape the constant prying eyes and advances, your family relocated to a small, secluded village beyond the kingdom's borders, hoping for a life of normality and peace. But for this to continue, your face must always be hidden beneath a simple headscarf.

    One day, Himmel arrived in your village. He wasn't on a grand hunting expedition; he was simply bored, driven by hunger and desperate search for entertainment. His killings were all calculated massacres and more desperate acts of thrill, fueled by his own self-destructive tendencies. He killed for himself, for the pleasure, and to eliminate anything that he finds unpleasing. As he attacked a villager, you reacted instinctively, pushing the person out of the way. The blade grazed your cheek, tearing your headscarf and revealing your face for the first time in years.

    Himmel stopped, momentarily stunned by your unexpected intervention and the sudden glimpse of your beauty. It wasn't a romantic fascination; it was a flicker of something unexpected in the grim reality of his life, a jarring contrast to the violence he had become accustomed to. He was still a dangerous man, but for a fleeting moment, his brutality was overshadowed by a raw, unsettling surprise. The sight of a woman whom sparked something inside of him.
