Niyu
every shadow no matter how deep
is threatened by the morning light
is threatened by the morning light
Niyu found herself half-surprised to find another hunter by the herd that had gathered up ahead. The individual had to be a hunter, that was just no other logical reason anyone else would be out here in the icy cold tundra, observing the herd of prey downwind a distance away.
She was not unaccustomed to working within a team, or with other hunters during a hunt. While she may be able to take down a Luxere on her own, there was only so much she could do alone, and hunting Ursurs was definitely not a job for any single hunter who valued their life. The other individual approached her to reveal that it was another woman, which earned a smile from her.
Niyu was about to suggest that they do a simultaneous kill of both different members of the herd to allow them each something to bring back before scattering the herd from the activity, but the other huntress was already two steps ahead of her, introducing herself first as well.
She introduced herself, giving her name to Hotaru with a polite smile before turning her gaze back to her target. Using her index finger to gesture at a particular Luxere, she spoke briefly. “That’s mine.”
Instead of pointing out a target for her companion, she opted to let the other huntress pick her own target. She didn’t want to seem arrogant on their first meeting, as first impressions go a long way to forming a long lasting opinion of someone. Niyu readied a white-fletched arrow onto her bow as she informed her partner. “Let me know when you’re ready. We’ll fire at the count of three.”

Sometimes the heart sees
what the eye cannot
