Per's Story

"You sent for me, father?", asked Per.

"Yes Per, I did sometime ago. Why have you taken so long to attend me? It isn't like you to make me wait so long.", his father Rasmus replied curtly.

"I'm sorry for the delay. I have only just returned from a week on Shield Ridge tracking a wounded buck," Per replied as he removed a large set of antlers from his bag and placed them on the table. "I believe these belong to you."

Rasmus frowned and then laughed. "Your eye isn't as keen as it used to be, Per, seldom do you need a second shot to fell a beast."

"You're welcome," Per responded dryly, "but mine was not the initial shot. That honour belongs to Steen."

"Steen?", Rasmus asked confusedly, "That boy can barely hold a bow!"

"Yes, Steen. It was the strangest thing I've ever seen. I had the boys practicing archery over by the river. Just as Steen looses his arrow, this buck bounds from the bushes crossing the field just in time to get hit in the neck. Then it disappears back into the woods. Had Steen been a bit stronger, he probably would've killed it outright. It took Ost and me four days to catch up with that wounded buck. And it still had Steen's arrow in it's neck too. But that's not why you sent for me, is it?", Per asked.

"No, it isn't", Rasmus said grimly, "We are moving to the Colymar."

"What?"

"You heard me. We are moving to the Colymar", Rasmus replied. "The clan has decided to move rather than live under the rule of the Pharoah, so be at the Great Hall by dusk tomorrow."

"Why must I be at the Great Hall?" asked Per, "The fyrd has not been hoisted."

"No, I was asked to provide aid to the scouting band that is leading the way to our new home. I was honoured that you volunteered", Rasmus said with a grin.

Per's face flushed red with anger. "I'm sure you were," he hissed as he turned towards the door, "Much like you were every other time too. What a pity that Gunnar's Oath of Service has a limit or you might never actually have to ask for a volunteer like the other family heads."

"Good hunting!" laughed Rasmus as the door slammed.

Narrative

Per is a hunter and follower of Odayla. Quiet and patient, Per has frequently been forced to join warbands by his father in order to fulfill the family's clan duties. Only because he is agile has Per survived these trips as skirmisher. He has seen many lands, learned to ride and barter, and acquired items such as a fine bow and a set of bowyer's tools from these travels. Per is almost always found in the company of his hunting alynx Ost and longs for the day when his four young sons can take over his clan responsibilities.
