They followed a deer trail laying their feet as quietly as they could. The men knew that they were only two in the dangerous forest, even if it was in their natures to give way to merry thoughts. Shird eventually guided them up a hill, out of the tree line, to where he suspected pop berries would grow. Charak dropped himself down amidst the low shrub, exhausted.

"Look." Shird pointed over the treetops. Charak tried his best, but saw only where green became blue on the horizon.

"Come sit down here and tell me what you see, Piss-breath," Charak said heavily. Shird squatted and picked a few berries. "I see the Lake. Only just, though. We have not made very good time."

"We will get there in two days. Or not. Depends on where we want to go."

"Why are we here Charak?"

Charak shook his head as he ate. "New hunting grounds."

"No. That is the lie you told. Why are we here?"

Dark eyes looked sideways at the young, toothless hunter. He continued to eat.

"Well?"

Charak ignored him and searched for more berries amongst the leaves.
