Chapter 9 - Tournament(2) And The Hunt

The Very Next Day, Arden Woke Up And Prepare Himself To The Last Tournament, The Jousting One.

He Goes To The Stable To Prepare Cisco, His Horse For The Tournament.

While Cisco Is Now A Big And A Very Strong Horse Not Like The Past When He Was Still A Weak Horse.

With His Money, Arden Bought An Horse Armor For 40 Aurens Yesterday, It Will Be Sure Worth It.

Now, His Horse Is Wearing The Armor, With The Help Of His Companion Preparing Thing For This Last Tournament.

Him Riding His Horse To The Designated Place For The Participant To Wait And Prepare Themself For One More Time.

It Will Be Hard To Win Against These Experienced Knight, But He Gives It A Try.

The Participant Have Been Waiting For 30 Minutes, Suddenly There Is A Sound Indicating The Start Of The Last Tournament.

One By One Of The Participant Is Called And Arden Saw Himself Will Joust Against Sir Rakham Himself At The First Round.

The Names Of Them Both Is Called To The Field And They Enter The Arena.

The First Thing To Do Is To Ride To The Middle Of the Arena Where THe Host Of The Tournament Will Be Sitting At A Specialized Placed And The Participants Will Give The Host Greetings.

After That, They Will Go To Their Own Place And Prepare Themself, If They Are Done Preparing They WIll Make Their Lance Facing The Sky.

Sir Rakham Is Already With Lance Facing The Sky, Soon, Arden Did The Same Thing.

They Both Spur They Horse When The Judge Give The Sign To Start.

Both Of Them Are Riding Really Fast And Meet At The Middle, Arden Can't See Anything For A While And Then Open His Eyes.

He Is Still On His Horse And Holding The Broken Lance, Then He Turned His Head To See If Sir Rakham Is Still On His Horse.

To His Suprise, Yes, But A Few Seconds Later, He Fell From His Horse. Then Getting Carried Away By His Squire.

This Made Arden The Winner At This Round. And Then He Won A Few More Round Until He Got Knocked Out At The Fourth Round By Lucaro, The Mysterious Knight. He Ended Up Winning The Jousting Tournament.

Sir Aswick Is Suprised That The Jousting Tournament Is Finished In Just 1 Day, Which Means There Will Be Nothing To Do At The Fifth Day.

Sir Aswick Then Plan To Go To A Hunt With All The Knights For The Activity At The Fifth Day.

But Sir Aswick Said Only Knight, No Companion Are Allowed.

Then Come The Fifth Day, Arden Is Already With His Equipment And Waiting With Other Knight In The Yard.

And Then The Duke Came And Goes To The Front Of All Knight, Giving A Speech.

"Good Morning All the Honorable Knight, Today We Will Go To A Hunt"

Then They All Go To The Hunt With Their Horse And Their Equipment.

They Entered The Forest And Many Animal Are Seen, But Most Of Them Are Not Worth To Hunt.

Soon, They Saw A Deer In The Range Of 30 Metres.

They Can't Go Closer Since Their Armor Are Making Loud Noises.

Arden Have The Privileges To Shoot It First, So He Got His Bow And Shot It In The Neck.

The Deer Is Shocked and Ran As Fast As He Can, Arden Followed It's Trail Just To Find The Deer Is Already Lying On The Ground.

They Hunt Some More Animal Then Decide To Head Back Since It's Already Near Afternoon.

They Kept Riding their Horse To The Unclear Direction.

The Worst Thing Could Happen Is They Got Lost And Can't Find The Way Back To The City.

Unfortunately, This Really Happened And It's Almost Night. So They Decided To Make A Camp With All They Have At The Forest.

Not All People Bring Tents, Some Are Forced To Stay With Others And Some Are Forced To Make Their Own.

Fortunately, Arden Made One Before, When He Was Lost At The Forest.

He Made Some More Tents For Other And Left Exhausted At His Tent When He Finished.

Some Of The Knight Are Ordered To Guard At Mid Night And The Others Will Rest Then Replace When The One Guarding Is Tired.

Fortunately, Arden Can Rest Now, So He Closed His Eye.

There Is A Sound That Woke Him Up, He Is Expecting The Clear Sky At The Morning When He Walked Out Of The Tent.

But No, There Is Someone Shouting And A Bear So Large And Tall.

Almost Taller Than All The Knight There. The Bear Is Going On Rampage, Without Any Preparation, The Knight Is No Match To The Bear.

Luckily Some Of Them Already At Their Armor And Fighting The Knight.

Arden Quickly Use His Armor And Prepare To Fight The Bear.

Then He Joined The Others At The Front To Kill The Bear.

The Bear Is Not Like Other Animal, It Just Seems The Bear Have Intelligence And Is Trained To Attack The One In Armor.

The Bear Charged Arden, Luckily Arden Are Ready. With His Sword At Front And His Stance, He Received The Attack.

Arden Fought The Bear With The Help Of Others And The Bear Is Charging Arden For The Last Time.

Arden Charged At The Bear Too, Other May Thinks It's An Stupid Idea But Arden Have Other Thing In Mind.

The Bear Leap Thinking Its Attack Will Hit But No, Arden Slide Down At The Right Moment And Slashed Its Unprotected Stomach.

Bleeding Out And Wounded, The Bear Fell Down To The Ground Indicating The Bear's Death.

Everybody Is Cheering Arden's Name For Taking Down The Bear.

"Arden!! Arden!! Arden!!"

Arden Then Clean Himself And Rest At His Tent Again. Many People Came To His Tent Just To Say Thank You To Him.

His Name Becoming More And More Known Since That Incident.

But Finally, He Can Sleep Again In His Tent.

Having A Long And Comfortable Sleep Is Sure A Good Thing Since What Happened Just Now.
