Shiloh had returned the day before, Niernan and Fritz having accompanied her to Freetown for a trading trip. The boy had placed his 'order' with his Aunt the week before, when she'd asked him if there was anything she could get him. His fascination with his aunt's staff had manifested and he'd asked her for a similar weapon, as well as a knife he could use for skinning. He was getting adept at hunting and his practise with his fathers bow was beginning to yield results. He wasn't yet comfortable shooting at prey, so he'd been practising on a stretched rabbit pelt outside his home, re-using the arrows when he retrieved them from the target. He was perfecting the technique first- getting his drawing speed faster, his accuracy spot on, before he attempted to kill anything with the weapon.
Despite his reservations about using the bow, he didn't hesitate to continue hunting. Every couple of days, the boy would go out to bring something home. Living in Jordheim, and having everyone else in the village, it was easy to catch something and have it eaten. A lot of the time, he would take his smaller kills to his fathers house, where Lilin and Colibri and the over-flowing amount of siblings and cousins. Today, however, his stubborn nature had refused to allow him to give up when the doe he was chasing exited Vinátta's borders and had made for the mountains. He gave chase, stripped bare of the trees he usually leapt from, he'd had to give chase on foot.
The staff Shiloh had given him was strapped securely across his back and the antler-handled knife strapped to his thigh. He would have to get used to the feel of his new weapons and the restrictions it would cause on him. He was growing tired though and he'd dropped back when the doe had hit the mountain. Allowing the animal to have a semblance of peace for the moment, he began to stalk it once more. He knew it was as exhausted as he was, but he'd lost sight of it a little while ago, allowing his sense of smell to guide him further along the mountains and away from Vinátta
