The village chieftess

The door swung open with a sudden jolt, revealing a commanding presence. "Where is he?" boomed a resounding, feminine voice that echoed through the room, immediately prompting all the servants and guards to bow in reverence, their heads bowed briefly before they slowly raised their gazes.

Curiosity piqued, I watched with great interest as a slender woman, who appeared to be as old as the village chief, entered the room. Despite the noticeable wrinkles on her face, she exuded a vibrant energy and youthful spirit, much like the chief's own impressive physique.

With a determined stride, she walked purposefully towards our direction, only coming to a halt when she stood directly in front of us. Her eyes lingered on the village chief briefly before turning to Thak, with a nod of acknowledgement passing between them. Then, without warning, her gaze landed on me, her unwavering stare making it clear that I was the one she had come to see.
