Poison
“Heat slowed animals as much as men and although his skills were such he’d had no doubt meat would roast over the fire tonight, the task was going to be easier than he’d expected. He could counter the laziness that came with the sun and force himself to be alert. It was unlikely to be the same for the animals in this dense woodland. So far, apart from an old crone scurrying between the trees just before he’d spied the stag, he’d seen little sign of human habitation and he’d heard no horn blowing... for a royal hunt. It was wild here. He liked that.
These woods were new to him, but he tracked the white beast easily enough, moving silently perhaps twenty feet or so behind it, his eyes scanning for the simplest of landmarks and storing them to memory. Following the animal would not be the problem. In his homeland the men born to the hunt could track even the lightest footed doe by the time they were ten. It was a matter of pride. Finding the kill was easy. Finding your way home afterwards could be harder.MoreLess
