"The flight of the arrow is as true as the skill and the nerve of the man with the bow."
~
You're alone with your horse, riding in the purest and finest nature. With your bow and arrow on your back, you quietly move forward, while watching every corner of the environment you're riding in. Then, at 150 feet right in front of you, you see the shiny light from a big animal. Maybe a big deer, you know that they can be quite hard, which is a positive thing for your score. You let your horse move the other way, out of the small breeze and once you get close enough, you grab your bow tighly, pull your arrow backwards, breathe in and aim carefully...
Welcome to the Night of the Hunters Event!
It is all about arching while riding your horse, in the night, in a large nature area. Yo

Horse: Rim (akkadorian)
Rider: Armitar (morg)
Advertisement: Art/Harpg competitions (does it count?)

*Animals are fallow deer, contest bracelet is not glowing because Armitar didn't get any points yet, Armitar have his arrows on his right side so it's not visible.

No tracing used

Story:
It's been a long time since Armitar could enjoy some royal-like fun. Event of Night of the Hunters sounded like perfect opoturnity to stretch his muscles, freshen experiences and also show his skills before others. Even that a bow weapon was still kinda new to him he's a fast learner and was self confident about joining the hunt. He put the best tack on his new horse friend, put on his favourite hunting suit and off he went.
Night itself was magical for him. Now with fullmoon glowing, being in deep forest was making very special feeling. At first both horse and rider were walking through forest very wisely and carefuly. After some time Armitar heard sounds of other people from affar getting good shots or chasing something. And around Armitar was still nothing. He thought that maybe those hunters around made those animals hide further. So he kept going straight until he appeared on some old part of the forest.
A ray of moon light was making magnificent veils around pine tree trunks. The silence of the dead forest suddenly interrupted some sounds of quiet stomping. Armitar didn't pay attencion to it until the sound was getting louder. And then before his eyes a cerulean glowing herd of young fallow deer appeared from nowhere, running across a mossy path. The deer running as the first made a short glimpse and wink on horse rider's face. Armitar just stood still watching the indisribable tender beauty before him. Every second of this moment felt like minute. But in a short time fallow deer herd dissapeared in the deep night.
Armitar exhaled aloud like he would forgot to breathe for one minute. Filled with happiness he patted horse on it's neck. Then he realised why they are in the place they are standing. For the moment he totally forgot he is in the middle of a hunting contest. With a giggle Armitar spoke to himself aloud "By the Patron... it was so beautiful I forgot to shoot." He commanded Rim to turn around and both were going back where all participants should meet in the end of the hunt.
Armitar maybe refused to shoot anything.

Thank you very much Dexter01992 for encouraging me to finish this.
