Snippet #1778426

Leaves fall as a figure lands on a high sitting tree branch. A deep breath. The figure lines up his sight onto the monsterous spider hanging from the tree across the way. 'TWANG' The arrow skewerd the skulltula against the tree. The young silver haired man smirked and replaced an arrow in his crossbow. He had a few more targets. He quickly shifted to another skulltula a few feet away. 'TWANG' another skulltula down. This was reiterated many times. 'TWANG' 'POOF' 'TWANG' 'POOF' The boy looked up from his site to see that his work was done, there were no more monsters.

The man shrugged and grabbed a vine hanging on the side of the tree. The fingerless gloves he wore on his hands felt good on the vine as he jumped off of his perch. He slid about halfway down the length of the vine and tightened his grip so he could stop. Once he stopped moving he began to swing back and forth. It only took a few reps until the vine had a good swing going. once He was satisfied the man slid off of the vine and was flung towards a tree a few yards away. With his left hand he grabbed a lone branch to slow his descent and immediately let go. He did this to every branch he could reach on the way down to the forest floor.

His boots finally hit the ground and he placed his bow on the harness on his back. He flipped his hair, put his hands in his pockets and was on his way.

He left the forest and came face to face with the brilliant Hyrule Field. It was daytime and the grassy field was shining brilliantly. He smiled and made his way across. His destination was his hometown of Kakiriko Village. It was a long hike across the field, but He was used to it, he had taken it many times before.

Salem Wales entered the village with a familiar smile. He waved to people as they passed and frequently stopped to talk to his neighbors.

He made his way to his masters home. He had a few objectives to accomplish by going here. One, he had to give back the crossbow, it wasn't his. He was too poor to afford his own. The second objective involved his childhood friend Serenade. He knew she worked at the shop every now and then and he hoped to see her there. They had known each other forever and lately had been drifitng apart. What with Salems training and her work, they had just not gotten to hang out as much as they used to, but today that was going to change.

Salem was barely in the door when he saw that she was not there. He threw the crossbow onto the counter and sprinted out the door. He had to see her, he had promised himself. He climbed over the rock walls that were placed throughout the village, scanning the village for his friend. He climbed onto the top of one of the highest houses in the village and gave it a quick once over. He finally caught sight of her on a bench and smiled.

He slid down the roof and onto the ground. He hit the ground with a quick forward roll to break the fall. His momentum pushed him onto his feet and he ran to the spot where his friend was lying. He was about to announce his presence when he spotted the lute in the window. He smiled and shook his head.

He poked his head above hers and stared at her as she lied on the bench. "Hey there," he said with a grin. "Wanna stop hogging the bench?"
