The Reason for the Season

Saluce recognized all of their distaste for his treatment of Gideon. But His treatment wasn’t without meaning. Intentions where great but that’s just what they where intentions, action is what he wanted.


As he crept along with Gideon in tow his mind wandered a bit toward Gideon’s quandary. The both couldn’t shift back? Ugh he may have to teach him that, it wouldn’t be very easy to move along the terrain and hunt small game unless he learned how to hunt with spear and bow. As they crept along in hiding his eyes watching the herd his ears perked a bit before he spoke to Gideon.


“Gideon, this is your time. The meaning behind this hunt is more for you and your brother. Conor and I can’t fulfill the duties of protecting and keeping the peace alone. We have Bris as well as Layla, to help but you two are both very promising young males who will soon be adults.” Was all he said at the moment as he continued to walk along the tree line, finding a suitable ambush site, the open meadow narrowed into a thin strip among the trees. If herded right they would be funneled here and could be easily overtaken by the big males laying in wait.


“These aren’t rabbits or other small game, their antlers can maim, their hooves can crush skulls. Pick out the weakest looking doe you find” he said in a general tone, the behemoth at least now wasn’t being condescending to him. Saluce already had in mind which one he would be after, but wanted to see how Gideon’s instincts where.
