51. Sport
Will woke, gasping and in cold sweat. He'd just had another nightmare about the boar hunt, the event that had begun his legendary status.
He just didn't understand it. Why would people willingly put themselves and others in unnecessary danger like that? He's almost been killed by that overgrown pig anyway. He and Halt could've just hunted and killed the stupid thing quietly, but all of those knights wanted to make a big deal of it, just for bragging rights.
The teen shivered, remembering the paralyzing fear as the boar got closer and closer to him...
Will got out of bed, hoping to shake off the chill the memory had left. Getting the feeling that he wouldn't fall asleep, he decided to do that geography Halt had assigned him.
Really, the things that people did for sport would never cease to mystify and terrify him.
And here's another Will flashback. And some of my views too. I think hunting animals needlessly is wrong. And further than a plot point, I think that the way the boar hunt was conducted made no sense, considering Halt killed the freaking thing with his bow.
