Servants beat drums and gongs, shook bells and waved torches, shouting as they struck the thickets to flush out hidden prey. Falcons wheeled high above, their piercing cries guiding the hunters. Hounds ran eagerly, barking and bounding forward, waiting for their master's command.

You rode to the crest of a hill, leaving servants and friends behind. The open sky, the wind, the scent of grass—this is the taste of freedom.

Something is about to break through the undergrowth. By rights, you should hold your ground and let it come to you. But Gullis plunges headlong into the woods, and no hunter will be left behind.

You followed Gullis into the shadowed depths. "There's a place where bears roam," he said. "That is a prey worthy of this hunt." The canopy thickened, the air darkened, and his face hardened with focus. At a stream crossing, he suddenly halted. "Master, I have a request." His eyes burned with resolve. "Will you cross blades with me?"

Seizing his chance while the others were distracted, Nabhani caught up with Gullis and led him to the edge of the hunting grounds, where a cluster of noble ladies watches the hunt from afar.

Then, with a dramatic flourish, he dived into the water alongside the hunter-slave to wrestle a crocodile barehanded. The fight was mostly Gullis's doing. Nabhani, clad in pure white silk, let the water soak him until every muscle showed beneath the fabric. He rose and dived again like some swan, or perhaps a duck, while the noblewomen swoon with delight.

At last, they hauled the crocodile ashore—mostly thanks to Gullis's strength. The hunter slave rested on the bank, catching his breath. Watching Nabhani preen and pose, he suddenly spoke:

"I've heard you are the finest swordsman in the Capital. Will you not cross blades with me? With so many beauties watching, surely they would love to see a duel."

Nabhani turned toward him with the look of a man finding family at last. Of course, he had been waiting for such a stage.

Faris, with his pack at his heels, pressed on into the forest alongside Gullis. They tracked the heavy prints of a great beast, deeper and deeper into the wilds.

At last, they came upon a massive stone cavern at the edge of a cliff. Inside, piles of animal bones lay scattered, yet the master of the lair was nowhere to be found. Only a few particularly large animal bones remained, hinting at the creature that once dwelled there.

Gullis cursed their ill luck, convinced that the noise of the hunt had driven the creature off. But Faris was unbothered.

"Good," he said easily. "If it fled, it still lives. If it lives, it will sire cubs. And then we shall have more lions to hunt. A hunt is never spoiled simply because you do not strike the final blow."

On their way back, they caught plenty of other game. The hounds were wild with joy, long denied such sport.

Seliman labored through the mire with Gullis, pushing on into the far reaches of the hunting ground, where a pale swamp spread beneath a dying sky.

Together they waded through mud and stagnant pools, lying in wait among rotting logs.

At last they glimpsed it: a prize gleaming like a jewel in the filth, a giant marsh serpent with sapphire-striped scales as wide as a hand. It slid slowly, sinuously through the waters, searching for prey—or perhaps for the hunters themselves.

Jabal, brimming with enthusiasm, tracked the signs beside Gullis until the trail led them to a wall of stone cliffs. They climbed, inch by inch, until they reached the nesting ground of the wild Bharal. These beasts were wary and swift beyond measure. Could they mask their scent well enough, move quietly enough, to claim so rare and elusive a prize?

Adila could not wait. She and Gullis pursued their quarry all the way to the end of the hunting ground, into a shadowed gorge where the sun never reached. There, the songs of the dreaded harpies were said to ensnare the hearts of all who heard them. She stuffed her ears with wool and, blade in hand, set off at a reckless pace, dragging Gullis into the darkness with her.

Zaki followed Gullis into the woods without a second thought.

There, they stumbled upon a hunter's snare already sprung. Inside was a mother bear, fierce and snarling, with her cub cowering behind her.

As the two debated what to do, the trapper himself appeared. Without a word, he struck, mistaking them for thieves come to steal his prize.
