CHIRP CHIRP CHIRP CHIRP
The birds flew from branch to branch, perching on the green canopies and picking on the fruits hanging from the stems. Each and everyone had feathers glimmering which were as beautiful as gems, their songs wafting all throughout the forest.
A new morning has arrived, and with a heavy downpour yesterday night, the foresty greens are now wet and soaked in morning dew. Droplets of rain scatter across the grassy forest floor as the little critters trouble themselves in the bushes.
Meanwhile, whilst the animals and plants enjoy the lovely blessing of the morning sunlight, the critters of the night are now fast asleep, hiding in their tree holes and burrows, slumbering ever so peacefully. Such a lovely forest it was.
"Mmn~♪ Hmmn~♪ Nnn~♪ Hmm~♪ Mmn~♪ Hmmn~♪" [Yuna]
A beautiful elf entered the forest, her soft and silent hums carried by the winds and charming the little critters and birds. She took her steps, bent her back a little, and picked some fresh berries for herself, her eyes glittering bright like the morning dew.
The berries were all plump and fresh, still coated by the droplets of yesterday's heavy rain. The young lady whisked the berries a little bit, shaking away the water, and after a little wipe, bit down on the little berry.
It was small, but extremely juicy, a welcome rush of sweetness caressing her tongue. There was also a bit of tartness and creaminess in the mix, making it a little unique. The young lady could only smile at such a treat.
"Mmn... Should I make a pie with this?" [Yuna]
A few days had passed since Grey and Yuna visited the Royal Capital, and with the Shopping Mall now greatly stable, they could finally enjoy their everyday life the best they could, enjoying themselves the best they could.
Now, Yuna is picking fruits, nuts, and berries in the nearby forest, foraging every little edible thing whilst also collecting some herbs while she is at it. There really wasn't any particular reason why she was doing so. She just likes it.
"Hmm... Are there any more around heー" [Yuna]
GRRROOOOAAAAAARRRRRRR
However, the forest isn't always a peaceful place. Before she even knew it, a forest wolf had already pounced towards her, catching her off guard. It was already too late. It was already overー or so it would usually, had it been any normal person.
Unfortunately for the wolf, rather than a meal, what it got was a swift beating from Yuna. The young lady moved her hand like a quick flash and punched the poor wolf by the chest, breaking its ribs and crushing its heart soon after.
There was nothing more left to be said. The poor forest wolf's life had already been forfeited, staggering a little bit before crashing towards the ground. Its eyes turned white and blood gushed from its mouth.
"Hmph! What a rude wolf! Don't you know it's rude to attack a person?!" [Yuna]
Yet despite all that, the young lady simply didn't mind the wolf at all. Rather, she was a little upset that it really pounced towards her. She already knew it was around, but still decided to give it a chance and make it think twice.
"Now, look at what you've done. The forest floor got dirty." [Yuna]
Unluckily for the wolf, it made the wrong judgement. It pounced on the wrong person and as a result, got to meet its creator earlier than it should have been. The young elf doesn't even feel sympathy, only a little annoyed.
"Hmm... It's got some good muscles... I wonder what it'll taste like." [Yuna]
With that, it was decided that they will be having wolf meat for dinner, to be served along with the other wild animals Yuna just caught. The wolf wasn't the only ones who tried to pounce on Yuna, after all.
