The group moved steadily through the forest.
This was like the first time the archers were going hunting. Not the first time any of them had ever hunted, some had probably tracked rabbits or birds when they were younger. But this was the first time they were going hunting as a unit. As archers. As people whose job it was to shoot things for a living.
It was even the first for Seren, apart from the ones when she was a kid. And going hunting as a kid was nothing compared to the scale at which they were going hunting now. Back then, she had just gone out with sticks and string, hunting creatures as small as rabbits, sometimes squirrels if she was lucky. A successful hunt meant bringing home enough meat for one meal. A bad hunt meant going home hungry.
But now? Now they had proper bows. Proper arrows and proper training.
It wasn't too proper in the way of really good professionals, they weren't elite soldiers who had trained with bows since childhood.
