"She's around here somewhere!"
"She isn't far away from us, find her!"
Hunters, they were coming for her. Ever since the death of a certain man. She killed and killed, swearing on her life. She would take revenge on the death of her father.
*Fwoosh*
"Gaaah!"
A man was shot in the head with an arrow, the surrounding men instantly got on guard. Creating a circle formation.
"She's close! She can't be hiding forever, lets have her head!"
One of the men shouted, what they didn't know. Was that she was blessed by a certain goddess, as she was a mile away. She could see them clearly, her tail stood still, her ears perked up listening to the sounds.
She readied her bow with an arrow.
'For father'
Her eyes focused with a goal, a goal to kill all those related to her father's death. Abandoned by her real father as she learned the truth when she was older. She didn't care of that anymore, she was grateful for her new father. Giving her a home, love, and warmth, parental love only he could give.
Becoming attached to him permanently. Now he was dead, it was the fault of some hunters trying to kill him for a bounty. As her father was a traitor to the tyrannical king of the empire he once lived in.
*Wooosh*
She shot multiple arrows, some of the men were hit in the chest and in the arm. Screaming with agonizing pain.
"That bitch shot from the North!"
They rushed, leaving the other men to attend their wounds. Her green with a hint of yellow in her hair was shining brightly with the full moon.
She was calm, collected and look at the victims that soon will be dead.
"I see h-!"
*Thud*
He was shot right in the middle of his eyes, falling instantly to his death. Many became slightly terrified. But they still continued following the path, where the arrow came from.
*Clank*
One of the hunters blocked the arrow, as it bounced towards a tree.
"I see her! Fucking rat!"
They charged, the girl shot more arrows. Each of them were blocked by the big dude's shield. Who stood in front of hi teammates.
"I'll burn you alive!"
A mage casted a fire spell, sending it directly to the girl, who vanished making the other guys look around frantically.
She hit the man with the shield with a downwards kick. He grinned thinking he got her.
"Don't move kitty!"
She kicked off from the shield, making a backflip. Then re-engaging quickly to catch him off guard. As she pulled a dagger and and stabbed his throat. Slicing it as he desperately used his hands to clog the sense of blood loss.
Every movement she killed a hunter. Showing no mercy to them.

"Father.....I did it, are you proud of Atalanta?"
She cried right on his grave, only known to her. Hidden from the eyes of many as he didn't care if his grave was with others. Her tail sway with a depressed state, her cat ears drooped down. She didn't wish for this to happen.
She wished that he could come back to her. Maybe her goddess has an answer, just maybe she could find a way to find him.
"I want to see you again father....."
She thought about it now, a desire she didn't think she would have blossoming.
*******
"Do you really seek him?"
"Yes, he's my sole reason to keep on living."
"Messing with the dead and stuff is not something you should do, Atalanta"
Her goddess expressed her opinion, being Artemis. But Atalanta didn't care, she's willing to see him again, that smile, that laugh. The love he gave her was unmatched, never replicable, seeing it with her very being.
"I don't care, I'll do what it takes"
"I'll see what my brother can do about it.....maybe a prophecy will be issued"
She whispered those last words, not catching the attention of Atalanta.
"I would repay you one-thousand fold if you help me Goddess Artemis!"
She wanted a lead, a hope to get him alive.
"Alright, you're coming with me, from your story, I want you to be strong"
Atalanta listened Artemis as she smiled patting her shoulder.
"He would be proud of you for the actions you done."
Atalanta smiled at that, as she followe Artemis to where she was taking her.
