Hunter had few possessions he cherished throughout his life, including his first bow, a coup feather, and his beloved war pony named Smoke. However, the pride he felt for these items paled in comparison to the deep connection he had with the golden woman in his life, bonded to him through a divine promise. This feeling of belonging and commitment invigorated him in a way he had never experienced before.

The anticipation for the night ahead filled Hunter with an intense desire, as he imagined sharing the warmth of his buffalo robes with her. The longing to love her intimately overshadowed all the hardships and challenges he had faced in his quest to be with Amy, making those trials seem trivial in the light of his overwhelming feelings.
