In an area nearby, covered with thick bushes—a trap door was silently pushed open.
A pair of normal brown eyes peeked from within, making sure that there was nobody around before a hand poked out and freed a gleaming brown butterfly that flapped its wings away. Looking through the butterfly's eyes, the person confirmed that the coast was clear before coming out.
Emerging from the trap door was a woman in a deep green cloak that blended with the foliage.
Underneath the hood was a pair of small deer-like horns, and she had a mark underneath her right eye shaped like an ivy leaf, clearly indicating—that she came from the Verdant Ivy Village. Once she was fully out, she remained squatted and closed the trap door silently.
Once the door was closed, she moved through the underbrush silently.
Every step was deliberate, yet the treacherous branches and brittle leaves conspired against her.
Despite her best efforts, she couldn't avoid making all kinds of sounds.
Snap!
