 Progressing down the hall from the East to west, one had the larder and well room the room that connected all. There were two big doors that led into the Great Hall. The head table was closest to the larder and wellroom. Past the table sat the first hearth in its stone ring. Then the second hearth flamed in a similar ring. Smoke was supposed to rise up throughout the covered smoke holes above, but the hall was constantly in a fog of wood smoke, especially on windy days. Beyond the second hearth, on encountered the inner door. Then there came the windroom , then the outer door . The windroom was designed to give people a place to hang their wet things and to make sure no one let in the cold wind . The construction of the inner and outer doors was special and had cost Rolf a small fortune in silver.
 Rory and his mother shook the snow from their boots as the guard re-barred the great door. Then he left the windroom for the Great Hall. The noise was greater if that was possible. The skald was trying to sing to drums now. His mother went to oversee the geese. Rory dropped his basket next to the others and took his place on the bench, at the end of the head of the table.
 "I cannot learn to hunt here."
 "I prefer venison."
 Rory picked it out of her outstretched palms. It was sharp enough to shave with. There were no chips on the stone or stains on the suede so it must have been made that day. Still, it was heavier, clumsier and more brittle than his prized Moorish crescent . He tried to hand it back. "Keep it . I have a knife of steel ."
 She pulled back her hood. Chestnut curls framed her lovely round face. Her eyes were black as two onyx stones set into her ivory face. Rory noticed she smelled like herbs, rosemary ? "What's you name?"
 "You do know the old Ways" Bless me, a Great Spear ! Where ever did you find it?"
 Allanna simply blushed.
 There. Was that steam rising above that boulder beside the stream? Rory flattened. The steam was too high up to be a wolf or boar. It might just be stray cow.
 A small snowdrift laid only a stride away from the place of ambush. That would have to do.
 Rory took the herb out of its pot. It was pungent and smelled a bit pics like leeks. He laid the greens on the pics bare patch of stone. Then he got on his belly and , beginning pics with his feet, carefully wormed his way into the snow bank. In the end he shook his head a little, collapsing snow over his face. Rory gripped his ash spear and waited.
 The hoofs cut as they hammered him. The beast's legs moved incredibly fast, inflicting half a dozen serious wounds in a span of three heartbeats .
 Using his hatchet and rope, he lashed together a hunter's sled of birch and pics ash. Then he pulled it to old Hob. The pony took the towrope well enough, but Rory was confined to walking. It turned out it pics was good thing that the pony was weighed down.
