[QUOTE="Beholder Bob, post: 2135931, member: 12866"] More on Rook . . . With no immediate prospects and the chance of getting caught and put on trial, Rook fled into the woods, scraping by for a month with his limited woodsman skills. Finally tiring of root and roast squirrel, he began poaching on the farms, stealing piglets, goats, and chickens for his meals and taking clothes from the lines if they looked large enough to fit him. When seen, he brazenly took what he wanted after staring down the farmer most of the time, though in the late summer of his 20th year, while robbing a foundling farm, the man ran to the house, grabbed his bow,and gave chase. Rook hexed the farmer and yelled threats from behind trees, but the man didn’t relent, sending arrows deep into the trees with his powerful bow. Afraid, Rook went to release the piglet only to discover he’d killed it when he’d dived for cover earlier, crushing it with his weight. Leaving the carcass, he expected the farmer to relent – only to hear the farmer curse him back and renew the chase. . . . Scared he’d end up a dead man, Rook hid in the bushes, hoping the farmer would run off in the wrong direction so he could escape. Instead, the farmer ran straight towards him, looking down occasionally to make sure he was still on track. Rook set the spear and impaling him as he ran by the bushes, lifting him up into the air halfway before the spear shaft split in two. The farmer twitched, gripping the spear like a lifeline, his eyes slowly dimmed. Rook watched him die. A young man, perhaps 5 years older then Rook. He wore a cheap wedding band and homespun clothes. Rook took the ring and went back to the farmstead, armed with the dead man’s long bow. [COLOR=Red][B]B:]B[/B][/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
