The forest silence

   The forest was alive with the sounds of nature. Birds chirped, leaves rustled and the gentle breeze whispered secret through the trees. Aria crouched behind a thick veil of foliage, her eyes fixed on the deer grazing peacefully in the clearing. Her bow was drawn, the string taut with anticipation. Aria focus was unwavering her breathing steady as she took aim. She had been tracking the deer for hours, and she wouldn't let it escape. The hunt was a necessity, providing food for her small community. Her stomach growled in anticipation of the fresh meat. Just as she was about to release the arrow, a faint rustling in the under bush caught her attention. Aria head snapped towards the sound her senses on high alert. A figure emerged from the shadows. Their footsteps light and deliberate. Aria grip on the bow tightened her heart racing with a mix of excitement and caution. She wasn't expecting company, especially not in her hunting grounds. The figure drew closer, and Aria eyes narrowed, sizing them up. The stranger was tall with piercing green eyes that seemed to gleam in the fading light. Aria felt a shiver run down her spine as their gazes met, the air thick with tension. Who are you?" Aria demanded her voice firm and commanding. The stranger gaze lingered on her face before they nodded slightly. " I'm looking for someone. A young woman with exceptional skills...and a scar above her left eyebrow". Aria hand instinctively rose to the scar above her eyebrow a habit she'd developed over the years. Her eyes narrowed, suspicion etched on her face " what do you want with me . The stranger's smile was enigmatic and felt a sense of unease wash over her. She didn't like the way this conversation was going. My name is not important. The stranger said, their voice low and mysterious. But the information I bring is crucial. You're not who you think you are, aria. Aria grip on the bow faltered, her mind reeling with questions. What did this stranger mean? Who was she. Really ? The forest seemed to hold its breath, the silence oppressive as Aria's world begin to unravel. Aria eyes scanned the dimly lit room to flicker the stranger said you don't know who you are the word shocked her and leaving her glamoured and shocked she wanted to know what he meant by that so she went back and started asking people though nobody knew what he means. She went back and started looking for him as she was looking for him she saw the deer she was hunting before she met him so she calmed down and directly aim at the deer so let go of the arrow but the deer manage to escape peacefully she started looking for the man once again the stupid Deer came back to were aria were but ignored the deer because she couldn't catch him so she let it to roam freely
