When he awoke in the morning, Magnus walked over to his weopon's wrack and slid a quiver over his arm. He put Dual Blade in its sheath, and put his hatchet at his side. Magnus grabbed a knife and put that in his belt. He then selected three bows, and kept one for himself. A knock came at the door....it was Cletus and Ant. Magnus handed them each a
bow.

"Ye both ready?" He asked them.
"Aye," replied Ant.

Magnus nodded to them both and walked out the door. They went fairly deep into the forest with Cletus' dog Terra leading the way. Magnus bent down. He saw some prints in the mud. He sniffed the air and looked through the shrubs. They walked on further. Ant pushed a couple bushes out of the way, and behind them was a turkey.

"Let me take the first shot," Cletus whispered.

Unfortunately for Cletus, Ant had already fired his arrow, without hesitation. It missed the Turkey, and it ran away. The three chased after it. The Turkey was much faster then them, however, so Magnus removed his knife and threw it at the Turkey, hitting it in the back, but not deep enough to stop it. They ran some more, and Magnus bent over to pick up his knife.

"Well, it seems to be leaving a trail of blood now," Magnus said.
"Aye, it does," replied Ant.

Now, with Terra leading the way, they found a new path with a trail of blood leading into it. They followed it and found their turkey. Before Ant could shoot his arrow, Magnus held down his arm and let Cletus fire. Cletus fired his arrow and nailed the Turkey in the neck. It fell dead. Magnus picked up the carcass, and they went back to the cabin.

"So, who's gonna cook this thing?" asked Magnus.

They all looked at eachother and could only find one answer. They replied together one name.

"Metrina."
