Oh well. I've did it ^^

Story Time

As they entered the forest slowly, Arja felt her fear slide away. Her heart still beating loudly in her throat. The forest was stunning, the smell, the sounds, the colors.
She pressed Monsun to go faster, and they galloped slowly, taking in the environment. The cool air stroking their skin, like a silk blanket. Monsun strode carefully, balanced. After deepening in the darkness, they slowed down and focused on what they were here for, hunting. Arja breathed in the fresh air, trying to tell apart all the scents longing in the air around her. The different kinds of trees, the weather, the musk scent of moss. When focused to their maxes, they saw a fast light passing them, from behind a big tree. Is had started.

 It went better then expected. After some time they found their selves strolling slowly, already caught 2 easy prey and one normal one. Arja was glad her archery didn’t fail her, since it had been a while since she picked up a bow. Arja stretched her body slowly, allowing her muscles to relax a bit. She had been so tense so far, so deep in the darkness. She was glad she picked Monsun for this hunt, because this loyal mare knew all too well how afraid her owner was, uncomfortable with not knowing what to expect.

Arja startled a bit, when she had a clear ray of light blinking in her eyes from trough the thick forest. She pushed the mare to approach the light slowly, again not knowing what to expect.
Then, suddenly, the view was clear. It was a small lake, on a little clearing inside the forest. The moon and stars shone brightly trough the opening of the trees, down in the lake, reflecting it brilliantly. Arja stared at it with a surprised expression, and at that moment a bright, beautiful flying fish jumped out. It was gliding gracefully, over the surface of the water. Arja's mouth fell open at the beauty of this sight, almost forgetting her mission in this forest.

I hope my english isn't too bad xD Thanks for reading

This was such a good event xD I wanted to enter but didn't have time.  I love how you used a different light animal! I seen a lot of deer and no fish! It's such a great idea! (oh god you're going to SHOOT A FISH )

I love the far away perspective, you did a really good job creating another point of view! 
Everything looks so serene and peaceful, the water has such a lovely cooling effect and the phantom really adds a lovely 
highlight and magical glow to the overall picture! Beautiful job!
