Aesa walked through the thick Scandinavian forest,her arms wrapped around herself.''Another harsh winter.'' She mumbled as her breathe turned to ice.Her fur pelts and boots were warm and toasty but the winters harsh breeze eased itself through her pelt coat.Her father,Hervard was awaiting for her to return to her village.She was returning from a neighbouring village,where her fathers friend,Gunnar lived with his wife and children;and Aesa's betrothed Melnir.Aesa looked down and sighed .She was nearly fifteen and she didn't want to be married.
Suddenly,a deer ran through the trees and bushes.Aesa's stomach growled as she pulled her bow and arrow from behind.She held the bow in her hand and positioned it towards the deer.She arched her bow against the string as she pulled it back and something pushed her over.
