The forest was quiet, well, on it's border at least. A fresh windy breeze was blowing down this lovely valley, quiet but still buzzing with the wildlife inhabiting it. Bugs were flying around, gulped by the birds, rabbits ran from the predator in the sky. The grass was just making it's whistling song as the day passed by. The ciccadas were making their usual noises as it was fairly hot. The weather was sunny and the clouds barely showing up.
The sky was clear blue. But in all that beauty and quiet lively plain. Not too far in the border of forest, a scene, far more uglier awaited the unwary. Tied up to a tree, a young and very thin...young man, tough it was hard to tell since if looked at quickly, it could have been a young girl with short hair. The thing was, that person was all bloodied. The ropes holding him up were strangling him at the throat, his hands tied back on each side and his feet not even touching the ground. Blood were slowly running out of him. Multiple bladed piercing his body. An arrow was passing trough his head from side to side and a few others were stuck on his body.
There was a blade stuck right trough his chest and a knife in both his arms and legs. It was certainly nothing very reassuring, showing the presence of bandits in the nearby surroundings most likely not very far.
