Eodras started to flick the string on his bow as his mind started to think of food. A rabbit or a pheasant perhaps, probably just the first animal that crossed his path when he was out hunting.
Everyone else seemed to be thinking the same thing as Darcyn and his group rode off into the woods. The best thing that Eodras thought was to go the other way, the only thing those lot would do would put the animals on the run. It was always easier hunting animals when horses weren't thrashing about everywhere.
The dwarf was still in front of him and was now chatting with a hobbit. It took Eodras a few days to actually realize she was a hobbit and not a little girl, Eodras knew hobbits were small but never expected them to be that small. Maybe she was just small for a hobbit, he had no clue. The town where Eodras was from wasn't really big and a long way from The Shire, so none came through. This was the first hobbit he'd ever seen.
A few minutes after Darcyn left, Eodras decided to actually go. "Well I'm off to go and get some dinner." Eodras announced to them both as they were in the middle of their conversation. "I'll be back soon... Hopefully." With that, Eodras was off into the woods.
A few minutes walk into the forest when the noises from the caravan had disappeared, Eodras finally pulled out an arrow and notched it. He crouched down slightly and started to move ever so slowly, trying to stay as quiet as possible and hoping to hear any movement. Within a few minutes, a squirrel came into view. It was sat on a branch trying to break into an acorn. Slowly Eodras pulled back his arrow and stopped his breathing. He aimed just to the side and above the squirrel, knowing how the arrow would fly through the air. He let go of the arrow and the only noise that could be heard was a thrang as the bow string flew forward launching the arrow. Within a few seconds the squirrel was lying on the floor. Eodras went and grabbed the animal and pulled out the arrow. Within a few seconds he was off again looking for more.
