Prelude to Calming Village’s War

Like her brother, Gwen preferred to use her legs. She may not be particularly tall, but she was blessed with long legs.

Normally, men would like to touch these works of art, but when they tried, their faces were likely to meet with it instead. 

Gill would repeatedly tell her since she was young that men cannot be trusted and she had to keep a sharp eye on them. He taught to always employ critical thinking, regardless of how 'good' a man seemed. 

(She'd argue he didn't really use much of his critical thinking when it came to his love life, but at least he used it on life-and-death situations.)

Anyway, his teachings made her very choosy growing up (beating up quite a few men in her lifetime) but, fortunately, she did find a good one in the end. 

At this though, her sights swiped across Ryan's very worried face and she couldn't help but smile.
