Another beautiful day in the kingdom. Marian was out for a walk in the forest. She did this often. Her home wasn't that far off and every now and then she could use the peace and quiet. The forest was her sanctuary when she needed to get away from the world. She was walking the familiar trailer to a small brook surrounded by apple trees. Her dress slightly touched the ground as she walked the pathway. She smiled as she heard the familiar sound of running water. Off in the distance she heard the song of a bird singing its lullaby. Finally reaching the brook she bent down to take a bit of water into her hand and brought up to her mouth. The water was refreshing.
After another second she walked over to a marked tree with an x on it. This was a hollow tree and inside of was a bow with some arrows. This belonged to Marian. It was her little secret treasure. Every now and then when she wanted to come out and clear her head she would follow the path to this same brook that kept her secret hidden. She pulled out the wooden bow and arrows and walked over to where she used one of the trees as her target. She was quite good. Of course, not as good as a certain outlaw but she wasn't far off in her opinion. She placed the arrow on the bow. Pulled the arrow back. Let out a small breath and then released the arrow. Bulls-eye. She smiled. She picked up another arrow but as she was crouching down the sound of a branch snapping put her into alert. She had come out here alone and thus knew not who could out there. The forest was huge so it wasn't like people traveled to what she called her spot every day.
She went on with her routine when she heard another snap and rustling in a near by bush. She pulled back the arrow and string and pointed at the direction of the sound. "Who's ever there come out where I can see unless you want to meet the end of my arrow." she yelled firmly. |
