Emerald gave a small smile and nodded. "Yes Sir!" she said playfully and trotted into the forest. She slowed Envy to a walk once they got farther in. She concentrated on every little noise. The whisper of the wind in tree leaves, the crunching of dead leaves under Envy's hooves, the birds chirping. She heard a rustle of leaves a little to the right and she stopped Envy. She felt the horse tense up and start to whinny but she gave a small tug on his mane and he quieted down. The thing behind the bushes snorted and Emerald realized what it was. Then a huge boar charged from the bushes. Envy reared, almost throwing her off. The boar squealed and ran off.
Emerald kicked Envy into a gallop to follow it. She grabbed an arrow from her quiver and let go of Envy's mane, holding on with her legs only. She pulled back the bow string and took aim. She fired, the arrow just missing the boar and landing on a tree. Emerald scowled and guided Envy to the left of the boar. She pulled another arrow and fired, it landing in the boars shoulder. The beast squealed again and collapsed. Envy skidded to a stop by the boar and Emerald quickly dismounted. The boar was not yet dead so she took her dagger and ended it's life. She pulled out the arrow and started to skin the dead boar. She threw the skin and fur aside, cut a large slit in the belly and started gutting it.
She was elbow deep in blood by now and she wiped her forehead with her arm, getting a streak of blood there. She finished and covered everything up so the wolves wouldn't get to it. She started cutting the edible pieces off the boar and putting them into an empty saddle bag. The boar was a good fifty pounds, but after everything was stuffed into the saddle bags there was only about thirty pounds of meat. She started walking to a nearby stream, Envy following, to wash the blood off her hands and arms. Some was still on her clothes but it wasn't that much, well to her anyways. She mounted Envy, holding the saddle bags so it wouldn't fall off his bareback and started back towards the camp. She yawned.
