As soon as Davos entered the forest, he picked up the pace because he knew that it would take him about 40 minutes to get to the place where the traps were.
The young man passed through small grassy fields, areas of dense forest and finally arrived near a stream that would lead to a large lake in the middle of the forest.
And this was where he hunted. First, he checked the traps near the trees and bushes.
- I got lucky.
Davos said, smiling when he saw the white rabbit trapped in the trap.
- I'm sorry, but you're going to be my lunch, hahaha.
The young man laughed happily when he saw the trapped animal.
After checking all the traps, Davos walked with a smile that stretched from ear to ear. In front of him were five rabbits and two rainbow lizards.
- Today really is being a very productive day, three white rabbits and two gray ones, I couldn't ask for more.
The young man daydreams as he imagines how much he could profit from the skins of the prey.
- White rabbit skin costs 20 copper coins each, gray fur is 10 copper coins and lizard skin is 50 copper coins each.
Davos could already imagine his mother's reaction when he arrived with so much money in a single day.
After setting the traps again, Davos walks near the lake with the prey to clean them.
- It took a while, but it's done.
After a few hours cleaning and skinning the animals, he looks up at the sky watching the hours pass, after his work he walks to the lake to see the traps in the water.
- What?
He couldn't believe his eyes, the moment he lifts the first basket, a surprise, the basket was full of fish, so he goes to the next one and the same result, the three baskets were full of fish.
After another two hours cleaning all the fish from all three baskets, Davos had to improvise a sled made of twigs and vines, so he could carry everything with him easily.
- Man, it's going to take a while to get away with all this, aaaaaah.
The young man sighs as he imagines his journey back with all that cargo in his hands and being alone.
After an hour, Davos was already halfway to the village, but something caught his attention.
He could see a large cloud of smoke rising into the sky.
He didn't pay much attention to it and continued walking towards the village.
But the closer he got to the village, the bigger the smoke became, so the young man started to get nervous and picked up the pace to get to the meadow and see the village in the distance.
After another hour of walking, he started to arrive and when he finally saw the village in the distance, he understood that the smoke was coming from the village. The young man freezes in place, drops the sled and walks with long strides, getting closer to the cultivated fields that were now burning in flames.
- No, no, no.
His village, the place he could call home was in flames, bodies were lying everywhere, Davos was stunned by all of this.
So he walks along the road towards what was once a village.
