While Biran had taken the old stag as his quarry, it was not meant to be. The line up for the shot was great, yet something had happened. Maybe Biran had too much pressure and crumbled, or maybe he stepped on a twig and alerted the masses. No. None of those. Biran had been too careful. He did, however, sneeze at the wrong time. Yes. A simple sneeze at the wrong time could ruin an entire hunt. It had happened just as he was moments away from letting the arrow go. The whirlwind of a sneeze encompassed his entire self, causing him to move his hands up, and his head down. When the young man had let go of the arrow, it shot up rather than straight.
The arrow rang true and landed with a thud, sticking into a tree well above the stag's head. This sudden attack caused the herd to run into different directions and scatter. It also made Ulf take in a deep sigh. Something like this was what he had feared. Knowing his son, he would go after the biggest and meanest animal he could find and attack. If he hunted like this, he surely would find himself on the wrong end of nature. More than likely in the bellies of many animals. The thought alone chilled the man to his very core. No. Not his son. Ulf would never allow that to happen to his perfect son. He stood. "Come."
The older man walked out into the more open thicket where the deer were just at a moment ago. Looking up, the arrow was a good ways in the tree. Well, better to get it down. And a lesson he could teach his son about being careful. "When hunting, your weapons are important to you. Finding your arrows are just as important as keeping your blades sharp. If you run out of arrows, your bow is completely useless." The tree didn't seem that hard to climb. And a little climbing never hurt anyone. Again, a good lesson for Biran at the moment. "Retrieve your arrow and we will go follow one of the scattered deer."
