A deer was running through the woods at a very fast speed dodging arrows and jumping over fallen trees.A young man was pulling back an arrow, taking a deep breath before he released the arrow making it fly straight through the deers head, making it fall to the ground like a rock.
"Master, it seems you"re getting rusty!" A young man yelled to the person jogging up behind him putting his hand on the young man"s shoulder.
"haha, I"m not getting rusty, it"s you who is getting better William" said Einär as he was looking at William with proud eyes "I can still remember when you could bearly pull back an arrow, look at you now, talking back to your master, I think you require a punishment!"
"No! Master, please I was just joking" said William with pleading eyes toward Einär who was crouching down towards the deer.

"When we get home you will do 100 push-ups and carry 50 rocks back and forth the farmland" said Einär with a playful yet stern voice.
When they go back and William finished his a.s.signment he went to rest in the animal house which has now become his home.
William laid down in his makeshift haystack bed thinking about this pasted year and a half.
"I think I"m soon strong enough fend for myself, I am probably close to Drang rank when it comes to hunting and tracking, sadly I can not say the same about fighting and dueling experience"
Enär had only taught William and two other slaves how to use the bow and how to hunt, tracking had William learned from the old man Igor that he met the first day.
Igor had become a slave when he was captured by a raiding party lead by a Huskarl.
Igor got caught whilst he was setting deer traps near his village.
Igors Village was Pillage and razed to nothing except some burnt houses and corpses. Igor"s entire family was killed in the raid.
At first, Igor was very hostile towards everyone but later warmed up to the rest of the slaves acting like a grandpa taking care of his grandchildren.
He taught most of the slaves how to track animals as well as how and where to set traps. He also made sure that the slaves behaved and did not cause trouble for the others.
William had been listening and training diligently for the past year and a half making him fitter and healthier than most slaves.
William was looking at his stats and admiring his accomplishments.

William had noticed that there is a different kinda Technique for each type of Skill.
He also noticed that he could see a window pop up when saw people, it showed him their GO and their status and if they were neutral or something else.
"Einär GO (General Opinion Btw) of me seems strange, it was around +40. So if I become a free man will his GO be +70 or will it go down because I left his service? strange indeed" William was thinking
about how to proceed when he heard a loud yell.
"William, get out here quick I have exciting news to tell"
William instantly recognized the voice, it was Einärs. William studs up and started walking towards the front door when he heard Igor talk to him.
"Good luck kid, hope you do well"
"What do you mea.." before William could finish his sentence Einär yelled once more
"Hurry up or you"re gonna regret it!"
"I"m coming, Master!" Yelled William in reply with a frown. "What is so important, he has never yelled like this before" Thought William as he opened the front door of the Animal house.
When William opened the door he took a glance towards the window that just popped out besides Einär.

"I have some news for you William" said Einär with an expression William never have seen before.
"What"s the news?" said William with a calm expression.
"The Huskarl which is my higher command has agreed to my request of taking a slave with me on a raid" said Einär with a happy smile
"What! Who are you going to pick" sad William even though he probably knew it was going to be himself.
"You of course, who else can I pick, but before you go and get ready I have more news that is even better for you" Said Einär with an even bigger smile.
"What is it?" said William with a questioning look.
