The Huntsman

by LovelyMay — The Huntsman opens beneath a scorching sky, where the heat clings to every surface, and not even a whisper of breeze disturbs the forest edge. Yegor Vlassitch walks with a leisurely stride, dressed in a worn red shirt and patched trousers, his rifle slung across one shoulder. His presence, however casual, holds a weight that disturbs the stillness. From a nearby thicket, Pelagea appears—her frame slight, her face flushed from labor, and her voice timid but tinged with longing. Their meeting feels more…
