Chapter 1
Translated by: ShinigamiTori
Beginning
In the mountains, where wild animals roamed about in their natural habitat, a girl could be seen chasing a deer through the bushes.
Her body, accustomed to running around in the mountains, was slender and thin, and her eyes were intense and relentless as she assessed her prey.
Her knee-length jacket, dyed in a geometric pattern, was tied around her waist, and she wore a pair of tanned leather boots. On her head, she wore a hat with several red and white tail feathers stuck into them, which expressed her gratitude for the bounty of the mountains. It was a ceremonial hat for hunting.
She threw a chain with a dangling weight onto the antlers of a stag that she had cornered with her swift body movements. With that, the chain was wrapped firmly around the stag.
As the stag struggled to escape from the chains, the girl pointed a finger at it.
“O Spirit of the Wind!”
As if in response to her sharp voice, a whirlwind suddenly wrapped around the magnificent antlers. The startled stag yelped and stood on its haunches. Aiming at the stag, she quickly fired an arrow with the bow that had become so familiar in her hands. The arrow struck the stag between its eyes, killing it with a single blow.
“Alright!”
After a smooth hunt, Sheila Danau wiped the sweat off her forehead with a smile. Her red hair, tucked haphazardly in a bun, danced in the air like a horse’s tail.
