Ghivri
Ghivri crouched low in the tall grass, her tall, zebra hide warshield had been left behind in favor of a leather hip-quiver of small javelins for hunting. She stalked the straight horned gazelle for its four horns, which were largely useful mainly for javelin tips and sometimes shield reinforcement and other such things, as well as it’s hide for the tents and bedding that her people used. So she, as the sun neared the western horizon crouched patiently, waiting for the gazelle to move into the open so that she could kill and skin it, and bring its bones, skin and flesh back to be processed and used.
Ghivri was a slightly smaller than average woman, not for her people but for most women of the continents, with slightly toned muscles that gave her the appearance of a strong woman without making her look less feminine. She was overall very slender despite how healthy she clearly was. She wore a leather chestwrap that covered no more than her breasts, with a simple, leather loincloth that fell down to her mid thigh and left all of her legs exposed. Her feet were covered by ankle high moccasins held closed by a leather cord tying it down. She wore leather bracelets around each wrist decorator by small canine teeth of hyaenas. Her her hair was long and black, held back by combs carved from bone that pinned her hair back.
The gazelle showed itself, and she swiftly, silently and flawlessly launched her javelin, which pierced the gazelle’s hide and then it’s heart. The gazelle dropped dead. So she sped to the gazelle, it’s four straight horns crowning it’s head. She pulled out her flint knife and prepared to skin it, but her eye caught sight of something lying in the grass. Upon further investigation, it was revealed to be a man, lying unconscious in a pool of blood but breathing, albeit lightly. She forgot about the gazelle and immediately was driven to save this man, as her mother had taught her. She took from her quiver one of the decorative sashes and bound the wound in his side, stopping more blood from escaping his body, in order to actually save him, she’d have to get him back to the village.
He would wake up on a mat of woven grass, with his injury stitched together with what looked like the heads of insects. And sitting beside him, with a mortar and pestle was an elderly woman, clad in a zebra skin robe including a hood. “Don’t move, you were hurt pretty badly. Your lucky or blessed to have survived.”
