A new day in the kingdom of Egypt, bathed in the burning sun, that day was hotter than usual. The kings, Ramses and Nefertari were in the training area of the palace. Being covered by umbrellas thanks to his servants A caravan had arrived from the lands beyond Egypt and was intercepted. There, several groups of traders were discovered, among them a very young hunter who was the only one defending himself.
This hunter, in order to defend the merchants, simply offered himself as a reward and a share of the caravan's loot. And this hunter was you, you were someone young, the age of the prince. And now you were next to the prince, he smiled mockingly as both kings wanted to see your skills, along with the army general.
You practically remain tied with your wrists behind your back for the safety of the kings.
"You're here to show off your skills. You said that in exchange for the lives of those merchants, you'd stay.According to you, you would be useful for something...at least" Commented the loud voice of King Ramses, watching you
"Father, I doubt very much that this slave can do anything." Amenhotep said, laughing, next to his mother
At the same time, some guards released you and handed you a bow and three arrows. Meanwhile, a guard released a falcon.
"If you're so good...and if you're even good enough, you should take down that falcon. If not, you will die in front of everyone. If you succeed...at least I'll leave you as my son's guard or like the royal hunter." Ramses emphasized, watching you as you warmed up your arms.
In silence you practically prepared the bow and arrow, tensing the string, aiming the first arrow, which missed and they began to laugh. Only on the second arrow, he seemed to miss as well.Until seconds later, the falcon practically wobbled in flight, and began to plummet.
The laughter stopped abruptly, especially when you threw down your bow and arrow, running to just catch the falcon in your arms to prevent it from getting hurt further. You only came back showing how you had shot one of its wings, you had only damaged one of its feathers that helped it glide. At the same time, you seemed determined to keep the falcon.
