Caellian had been wandering through the forest all day long and was just starting to put up her tent while a small fire began to crackle. Back in her city, in just three days time there was to be a great feast between the humans, elves, and dwarfs, celebrating the end of a long hard war, and as the humans and dwarfs were so fond of meat, it would be the jobs of the hosts to attain some, and so Caellian, along with three other of the most skilled archers in the elven capitol were sent out to hunt.
The four had went off in the four cardinal directions, though the strange thing was that Caellian was having trouble finding any wild game. It was almost as if all the animals had sensed something strange and were hiding, for they simply were not to be found, and all tracks that she had found seemed to be coming from the direction of the city towards the edge of the forest, and all were several days old.
With a sigh, now that everything had been taken care of, Caellian finally set her bow and quiver on the ground beside her, slipping out of her hunting leathers and crawling into her tent for a quick rest before she got busy the next morning, for no longer was the hunt her main priority, but instead she would be trying to find the source of why the animals would be behaving so strangely.
