"Did you hear the news?"
"You mean the..."
"...Knights of Light..."
"Dead...."

Ella found herself in the midst of a circle of gossip surrounding the latest news. Her head head was bent down amongst her friends. The told stories of how the Knights of Light had taken another region and how perhaps this was the end for them. Ella thought of her step father and she worried for him. He was but a simple wizard who had never harmed a fly, if the Knights of Light found out about him, he was sure to be executed. After an hour or so of talk the group dispersed and Ella remained where she was thinking quietly to herself. She wanted her family to be safe, but most of all she wanted things to go back to they way they were. Everyone was stopping to talk of the Knights rather than her latest achievements.

Ella was being outclassed by Knights who caused death and destruction and that just wouldn't do. She needed time to clear her head and so picking up her bow she made a bee line for the thick woods on the edge of town and ventured deep into them. The area was a place she knew well, and so she was quick and stealthy, she stopped by the edge of a small pond and pulled herself up into a tree and waited. She knew this area to be a watering hole for most animals that lived in the surrounding area.

She waited for a long while thinking of stories to tell the villagers when she got back, of how she got into a a huge fight with mountain lion and came out victorious. That would be something to capture their attention and to turn the spot light back on her. Smiling she lifted her head as she heard a rustle off in the distance, she got her bow ready and notched an arrow.
