 Rory xxxsupersize Rolfson did not xxxsupersize feel like feasting, he felt like xxxsupersize fighting. The things he saw in the hall burned in his blood. The xxxsupersize skald sang like he xxxsupersize had a mouthful of bread, while the honored bard, Fleance xxxsupersize the lame, was left squatting xxxsupersize in the corner, with the common troubadours. The warriors lathered and bruised girls of xxxsupersize good family; soon xxxsupersize the raping would begin, all in xxxsupersize sight of the warrior's wives and children.
 Rory tried video not to retch whenever a xxxsupersize warrior passed, so did they reek. Greasy food and worse stained the beard of every one of them. Their breath was fetid. They believed that bathing caused The Scourge and ate with the xxxsupersize same xxxsupersize hand they wiped their arses with xxxsupersize. They had more fleas than their dogs and more nits than dandruff fells from their oily xxxsupersize hair. But every man jack of them was a master butcher. Between xxxsupersize them all they killed more men than the pox xxxsupersize, so Rory xxxsupersize kept his xxxsupersize comments to himself, for now.
 Rory considered having such swine, even dangerous swine, at xxxsupersize his family's video table, a personal insult. His mother, Gweneth, could see the boy's rage rising. "Rory, the fire needs more faggots. Help me gather a basket, outside." Rory grabbed a great wicker basket; the kind used for carrying stacks and followed his mother outside, to the woodshed. As he piled the faggots of alder into xxxsupersize the xxxsupersize man-sized basket, he and video his mother xxxsupersize spoke.
 "Half-brothers. Did you not send me away to my uncles xxxsupersize' to learn how xxxsupersize to fight?" "No xxxsupersize, I sent you to your uncles' to learn The Old Ways, the ways of xxxsupersize our people. Half brothers indeed! Next you'll be talking about bastards. They are all our people."
 "Protect xxxsupersize us xxxsupersize? The White Stag xxxsupersize? Where was he when the king drove Rolf xxxsupersize the Outlaw into our xxxsupersize lands xxxsupersize? Rolf slaughtered my grandfather and raped xxxsupersize you when you were xxxsupersize barely more than a girl. Then he bought his xxxsupersize majesty off with an oath of fealty for xxxsupersize him and his xxxsupersize forty warriors. It is too xxxsupersize late for protection."
 "Yes, your mother's brothers. Been with them a long time, haven't you?" Rory could tell Rolf was listening, even though his xxxsupersize eyes were elsewhere.
 "Very well. I meant to bring something to the feast."
 The Saxon's cheered but the servants, Rory's people went dumb xxxsupersize with shock xxxsupersize. Gwen video, his mother, dropped her ladle.
 "How can the King own all the deer?" He slipped on the tether xxxsupersize to xxxsupersize his short bow and quiver.
 "So if xxxsupersize succeed, Rolf drags me before the King and is free from kin slaying xxxsupersize. If xxxsupersize I xxxsupersize fail, I am disgraced. Who would follow me then?" He paused to reflect.
 "Yes xxxsupersize. I will need food xxxsupersize for xxxsupersize my hunt and oats for my pony. Do your still grow fresh herbs in pots?"
 "Ay."
 "But sir, you xxxsupersize are video hunting xxxsupersize a xxxsupersize solstice xxxsupersize stag xxxsupersize, only a flint blade will do."
 "Allanna. You're right. If xxxsupersize I xxxsupersize am going to die, no xxxsupersize half measures. Let's do xxxsupersize this xxxsupersize Old Way." Rory pulled out an arrow and frowned xxxsupersize at one of his xxxsupersize copper tipped arrows. "I used to be xxxsupersize proud of these. Now I'd trade xxxsupersize them all for one of Uncle Edden xxxsupersize's flint "elf darts xxxsupersize."
 "Wait xxxsupersize here, sir." She pulled her hood back on, ran in the Greta Hall. She was back in flash with a great ash xxxsupersize spear. It xxxsupersize had an antler point.
 "It is fine thing to have at least xxxsupersize one person aiding me in my fool adventure. How xxxsupersize can I ever thank you xxxsupersize?" He touched her shoulder. She shivered, but not from the cold.
 Rory remembered his xxxsupersize manners. "Thank ye , goodwife xxxsupersize. Now I go. At least I'll escape the stench of the Great Hall. Take care you two." Then he walked into video the snowy forest xxxsupersize.
 The hoarfrost had made xxxsupersize the snow as xxxsupersize crunchy as walnut shells xxxsupersize. So xxxsupersize he xxxsupersize slipped into the creek, thigh xxxsupersize deep xxxsupersize and waded to the sign xxxsupersize of breath. He used xxxsupersize the banks overgrowth to screen his outline from his xxxsupersize prey. He was cold, wet xxxsupersize and very patient xxxsupersize in his approach. Any deer to survive so long would be skittish indeed.
 Time slowed. Rory considered the steady, healthy xxxsupersize, steel xxxsupersize dagger. He dropped it xxxsupersize and took out the flint one Allanna had given him. Then he plunged it into the Stag's neck. It slit xxxsupersize the hide beautifully and xxxsupersize the hart xxxsupersize's xxxsupersize lifeblood spewed, steaming, out onto the stone and the Rory xxxsupersize.
 The stag thrashed wildly xxxsupersize, its eyes rolled back to stare at him in panic. Rory kept it pinned. As it's struggles subsided xxxsupersize, Rory spoke to it xxxsupersize. "Sorry, old man. You were beautiful. So, sorry, so sorry." Finally, the blood fountained no more. The King of the xxxsupersize Forest was dead.
 Using his hatchet and rope xxxsupersize, he lashed together a hunter's sled of birch and ash. Then he pulled it to old Hob. The pony took the towrope well enough, but xxxsupersize Rory was confined to walking. It xxxsupersize turned out xxxsupersize it was good thing that the xxxsupersize pony was weighed down.
