Horizon before dawn

Chapter 3: Starting the hunt



Leaving my cosy home in the morning with my trusted bow i was ready for the hunt, to be the best Hunter in the wilds, soon i realized how wrong i was, rabits are fast and boars are super strong and i dont have a spear, so no meat for me today and five less arrows.

So more exploring the wilds and gathering of hearbs and berries to stay alive its all i can do for now.

- Might as well look for more campsites and markers, realy need to find to find that focus.

Murmuring to myself i was frustated that my first day on the hunt i was so bad that i dident hit anything that moves, or even stand still, my aim sucks my power is só low that arrows travels in slow motion, i dont think i can hit a dead target right now.

But having a focus would change everything, Mark the prey would not make it easy but less hard.

And learn from the focus was the must important thing, coming from a world not so futuristic like this one i was still in a league of my own compared to the rest of them, to the Nora all this was tabu so they dident know anything at all.

Day 2

Still no luck and even less arrows, i was realy starting to crave some meat, hunting and wallking and running all day is not easy just with some fruits.

Them something magical hapen, in my cave slash home there was a rabit there already skined and everything.

- is this real? Im alucinathing? Could it be? My parents? They were prety angry but they dont want me to die i gues, its "just" a 6 year old outcast penance for insulting a hight matriarch who claimed i was posseded by the metal devil.

I started the fire right away and i roasted that rabit, it was the best meal i ever had in my short life in this wild world.

But i knew i couldent live of charity, with a new resolve set in my mind i was ready to to go all out tomorrow or die trying,

- Thank you for the meal All Mother.

Day 3

- Yes yes yes, i did it, i finaly did it. Hahahahaha. Im the best Hunter.

Under my foot was a rabit, a real rabit, that i realy hunt,with my bow, my hands, my skills, the sensation was something i never experince when waiting for the 3 minutes it takes to boil noodles back at home.

It was something else entirely.

It was the trill of the hunt.

Sure i needed all day and and a lot of concentration, and some luck, the rabit kinda looks old and its already missing a ear, but i finaly did something for myself, i single handedly hunted a disable and old rabit, i could live in this world at least.

- Hahahahaha. Big boar your next. Hahahahaha. IM THE KING OF THE WILD HUNT.

Drinking form the sucess of my first great hunt of such impresive beast i went in hight spirits to my little cave, it was time to move again, i already had marked some other good hiding spots futher away, i needed to explore this world and make it mine.

Cooking, or rather rosting the rabid in a small fire i was packing the little i had so far to my next journey.

I was rather lucky the original Noir knew how to to this things, being a Nora kid sure is not easy.

- One step close to my goal. Rest asure orinal one i will make our name Noir a living Legend, rest well my brother, and practice your jokes before you insult a leader of a tribe yes?!

A good night rest and i was ready to finaly go on the move for the my prized focus.

- Just wait for me Hades, i will drive my spear in that metal ass of yours, this is my world now,.dont even come close Nemesis.
