Thanatos was walking through the forest, searching for various herbs that he could use in his potions. He stopped to pick some thyme, but just as he knelt down and began to pick, he heard the rustling of leaves underfoot that told him there was someone else in the forest.
He stood up abruptly and stood very still. Suddenly, he heard the crunch as a tree toppled over and the thud as it fell to the ground, just a few meters from where he stood. He moved swiftly into a position that shielded himself from the view of whoever it might be, and from between branches he could see a young woman. He cast a spell over himself to help shield him from view, and as the girl turned around her eyes passed over where he stood without noticing him.
A moment later, a rabbit scurried out from a nearby bush, and upon seeing this, the girl looked relieved. Thanatos wondered what she was doing in the forest, and decided to observe her, but hoped to remain hidden himself.
