"Lets go down there Ria" Oddlog says, now 12 winters old, 2 years after that faithful day in the woods.
As Arboria, the now almost fully grown Timberjack, lands on the third new island they came across during their little outing Odd can't help but remember the last two years.
Certainly eventful, having to move Ria multiple times from hiding spot to concealed caves and alcoves as she wouldn't stop growing at an astonishing rate.
The more often occurring dragon raids that have been slowly ramping up for a few months didn't help either, as they made it harder for him to leave since he is one of the if not the best ranged fighter on the entirety of Berk.
"Watcha think we should call this one? Pretty small, basically just a mountain with a hand full of trees scattered around." As he turns around Arboria kicks a rock of the cliff they landed on "Stone falls it is. Man I could really use hiccups skill with drawing anything right now, best I can do is a scribble with a name. Gotta suffice for now this is mainly so we have somewhere to run to in an emergency anyway."
He hears an amused snort behind him "Yeah, laugh it up. Im not made for handy work like building, stitching or drawing, we both now that. My talents lean more into hunting, tracking and trapping, I can live with that, saved us more then once."
Odd puts his 'map' back into the pouch he bought a while back. "I'll search us some food, can you get us some lumber?"
Ria lets out an annoyed grumble at that "I know your not just an axe and the day you can bring me a boar without it being a mangled corpse you'll get the food and I'll do the lumber, now get to work before it gets dark"
With that he sets out into the admittedly small patch of trees in hopes of finding a boar or a few rabbits to roast 'Theres a track here, looks like a boar, from how deep its step sunk into the mud plenty big too'
Now a bit deeper into the forest he realizes something 'It's quiet. Unnaturally so, no bird or insects. I'm not the only hunter in these woods' stalking his prey further soon he discovers exactly what had claimed this forest.
'By Odin's beard that's a big bear' in front of Odd was the biggest bear he'd ever seen more then three meters long and definitely to heavy to carry for him.
As it happens it's also distracted by the boar odd was tracking, as in it was preoccupied with chewing on it after it hunted the boar.
'Well guess its bear tonight!' and with a well placed shot the bear falls now an arrow in one eye and out the other side and with a whistle Ria swoops in and hauls him and the dead bear back to the cliff.
"Now to dismantle it so we can have dinner and go rest. Tomorrow we ride back to berk" At that Oddlog gets to work while Arboria watches over him.
