Rhuuk had once again slept rough for the night. The warm bear pelt he used as a cloak kept of the brunt of the night’s chill, but the colder air in the northern part of the country was welcomed. Over the past week he had battled his way up from one of the ports in the south, his pride ensuring he wore the symbol of his adulthood even in the warmest and most humid sections of his trek. Still the hunter was sure he’d have some way to go before finding somewhere more welcoming than a dry, thicketed ditch to rest his head. But for now he cared little, his rag tag appearance and slight lack of bathing was something Rhuuk had come accustomed to on his hunts in his home country, if anything it made him feel more welcomed in this alien land than the smiling and intrigued glances he’d met along his course. The early morning air was wet, but not with rain. A cold and hard fog had passed over during the night, freezing the ground. But now the rays of light were coaxed out from behind the easterly tree line, the frost had broken and left everything damp, including the field he’d camped out in. With slight laboured breaths and a glower that could break ice itself, the hunter trudged through the mud. Each step he took came with its own sigh and slurping sound as the mud underfoot gave way to his efforts to pull it out, only to cause his other to fall deeper as he did so. I was a slow and gruelling journey. His aims for the morning were to find another spring or perhaps other people journeying to replenish his water supply that was looking abysmally poor, food would then come second and if he had the time or energy, the next would be finding a town to rest it. The latter seemed too far out of the realm of possibilities as he came to the edge of the muddied field. Lifting himself onto the less porous ground that marked the start of a small copse, a small sanctuary from the mud and dirt. With a moment to rest, the Hunter slouched his back onto a tree, the oiled cloak he wore keeping the moisture from him but taking the brunt of the mud that was strewn across the floor, by the look of things a small animal had come through here. A rabbit perhaps or a shrew, the prints were too malformed to see which, but whichever he had no intention of looking for the owner, they were likely to far gone now. Over the buzz of bird song, Rhuuk’s neck craned to one sound, a familiar but at the time unexpected noise rang in his ears, pulling himself from the dazed slumber he was drifting into once more, the hunter trekked a small distance through the trees. Within two hundred paces he’d reached the other side of the copse, although the trees had been thin, they were packed together and with loose hanging branches had easily obscured his sight. On the other side of the tree line, less than half the distance he had travelled to move through it, he saw a road. Straight ahead of the fur wearing twenty year old was a path, one that was the marker of the start of a city. Rhuuk had to blink a few times to ensure he hadn’t entered some sleep starved delirium, but the buildings still remained, if not marked momentarily by flashing spots of colour from him rubbing his eyes too hard. Ahead of him was a cluster of children, playing on a small patch of frost that still remained. As he approached, they stopped their laughing to look up at the bear fur covered man, silence echoed between them before some ran off to what they though a safe distance while others just stood still, leaving Rhuuk to simple look between them and the city, wondering what sort of luck the fates had bestowed upon him. |
