It was a cold morning, cold enough for the dark forest to find itself covered by a thick veil of mist that glided through the southern reaches of the land, and stretched out to the heart of it, right where the dark brotherhood resided. And it was quiet, so quiet...
The bat of a dark bird echoed above the young Northerner. It had been following him for days now, but Bane decided to ignore it in an attempt of making it loose its interest. But on the other hand, the bird's intense stalking behavior raised questions in the young warrior's head. What reason could there be for the creature to be so interested in his activities? It had been heavy weeks for him, he had been working hard on filling the caches as the priestess instructed, and it wasn't an easy task, but it didn't seem a reason to be stalked.
It was one of those task the priestess assigned him that he was on on that day, hunting for the cold season, and her instructions had been clear, hunt either alone or in pairs if there's availability, and go for small prey only. The reason for such detailed instructions he didn't know, and if he hadn't cared about what the female said he would've either rejected them and do it his way, or not doing it at all, but Bane was bonded to her in a way he still didn't have clear, and apparently, her wishes were his duty. The swamp was ugly, and smelly, but it was were most of the "small prey" was found. Fish and water birds were abundant, so it was the right place to start, and that's were his strong legs were taking him, one long and fast strode at a time.
