Darius stepped into the overgrown woods and stalked around quietly, signalling Prometheus to follow. He could see much life ahead, a family of deer and one buck. It was a custom to have a feast when in a new place, so he wanted to keep his customs alive. "Over there, be very quiet, a family of deer. Three does and one large buck. I call bringing down the buck, can you handle those doe with your daggers?" Darius asked under a whisper as he drew his bow with an arrow nocked in place.

He grinned and nodded. He reached into the sleeve of his thicker traveling clothes which he changed back into before they left and found the six daggers. He pulled his arms back ready to throw and charged the knives with more power to make them move faster.

"Alright, ready, get your mark in sight, now go." Darius whispered as he shot, the arrow's whistle alerted the buck and it ran, but the arrow caught it right in the leg tendons, rednering the buck's legs completely useless.

Prometheus whips the knives out of his hands and they fly at the doe, two aimed for each. The first knife hit the first doe right in the next cutting a major artery killing at almost instantly. The second knife his the doe in the leg. The third and forth knives hit the second doe in the neck, just missing a major vein, and in the leg stopping it from moving. The last doe was the smarts. It got out of the way and just missed the last knives by less then an inch. It ran off into the forest. Prometheus swore under his breath at the loss.

"Hmmm, that's alright. You did well. A grand dinner tonight we will have."
Darius got up and looekd at the still alive buck on the ground, he took hold of it's head and cracked the neck, killing the buck. He swung one of the doe and the buck over his shoulders, and walked out of the forest.
"Come one, get that one too. We hvae to clean these so we can eat some dinner."

"Sure, I just need to get my knives back."
He held out his hands as the knives flew back from where they got stuck. As the collected in one hand he twirled his other hand and the knives disappeared into thin air.
"Now for the deer" he said to himself.
With a twiddle of fingers and a wave of the hand the doe began to levitate a few inches above the ground, the same way his trunk did. Like talking to an unruly child he commanded the magic. "Follow."

Darius layed the buck on a table and put the doe aside. He drew his blades and carved the carcass until a pile to his left was stacked in fine venison. He picked up the carvings then tossed them into the woods behind him. He then continued on the doe. "Well, you can go ahead and start skinning your kill then."

"Sure, but can I borrow a blade, my knives don't work that well for cutting meat." he said looking at the doe float before him. This was the first time he skinned a creature but he would not show fear or stupidity in front of the person who thought he was good enough to take him hunting with him.

Darius reached into his belt and drew a concealed short silver blade. Then gave it to Prometheus.
"There that should do it. If you lived where I used to live, you'd have a back-up blade on you everywhere you went." Darius said.
He sheathed his two main blades and slung the rest of the doe scrapings into the forest. Then he took of his hunter's cape, and layed it out on the table, which he then began stacking the meat on.
"When you're done, just stick it on this pile. That way we can bring it back to the dorm for dinner. We can cook it in the fireplace."

"Okay, and thanks for the knife." he said as he began to gingerly skin and prepare the deer. It took him a bit longer then Darius but he got it done and put the meat in the pile with the rest of it.
"Want me to handle the pile, its the least I could do for you letting me come with you." he said handling him the knife back handle first.

"Heheheh, sure. You seem to know your way around magic. THough I've never used magic before." Darius snapped his fingers and grey fire danced around his hand. "That isn't even magic, it's me." Darius took the shortsword back and concealed it again in his belt. "Come on then, back to the dorm. That way everybody will either be hungry, or has just eaten something at the Ninth Heaven place." Darius started walking to the academy and up to the dorm room.

He laughed as he pulled his sleeves up. "Yea, but I still got a lot to learn. This is really simple for me since it lies in my element." he said as he waved his hand and the bundle of meat rose into the air.
As he walked the bundle followed him as he followed Darius back to the dorm.
