The target was in sight. The bow was fully loaded and ready to use. Will takes a deep breathe and finds his aim. He lets the arrow fly and it found its point of attack. The deer he was hunting falls dead. Will smiles and starts to head to his prized trophy. "Wait Will. Make sure no other animals can hear you and attack. Last time I took someone hunting, Gilan ran into a bear." Will stops in his tracks and stares at his Master. "Gilan was attacked?" he asked nervously. "I will tell you the story later. Its to long to tell you know." Halt says shaking his head. They both scan the area to make sure there isent any predators nearby.
Will, seeing no other creatures heads towards his prey. The arrow was shot straight through the eye. "Nice shot! I have been hunting for 12 years now and i havent once got an animal through the eye. And now here i am bringing my new apprentice on his first hunting trip and he already outshoots me!" Halts exclaims with awe and proud words. Will smiles and laughs as he hears what Halt just said. "Thanks Halt. That means a lot to me. Hey maybe you and I should have a tournament of some kind later this year. Just the two of us." Will says excitedly. "Maybe, just not now. First we have to finish our hunting trip, and then I have to tell you a story." Halt says with a hint of a smile.
Three minutes later both Halt and Will gather the deer up and Halt starts to skin the deer. Will watches this closely and then realizes that as soon as Halt gets even further skinning it, that the blood and guts will spill out. Will makes a discusted face and turns to look away for this part. He has been in his fair share of was and battles with lots of blood and guts, but watching his own master skinning and gutting a animal totally discusted him. Halt seeing this reaction, hurries up the gutting and its over almost s soon as it had started. He gathers up the guts and puts them in a bag and puts the actual deer in a hunting bag. Halt puts his knife back away but something in the distance distracts the old man and he misses the sheath cutting his hand open. Will seeing this jumps up and pulls his shirt off the stop the bleeding from Halts hand. "Halt, it just wont stop bleeding! I think that we need to go to the infirmary and get it looked at. You might have cut open a artery and if you had, you might be in big trouble." He gathers up Halt in his arms and puts Halt on Abelard. "Abelard, follow me and take your master to the infirmary." Will says to the young ranger horse. The horse hearing this shakes his head in agreement and snorts.
Will hastily climbs aboard of Tug and gallops away Abelard fallowing him from behind. "Will! Hurry up. It hurts like hell." Halt moans as his pain increases. "Hold on Halt. We are almost there. Just a few more minutes."
