Curate, connect, and discover
I looked around for a moment. Ok, which way should I choose? Just into the forest would be a bad idea... follow the river... yeah, but upwards, stream-wards there is only unnecessary danger.
So I went up the stream. Focus on your hearing now, don't need touch or sight for now. I stood still, closed my eyes and worked on my focus.
I heard a crack, my head turned in the direction out of reflex. I waited some time Come on, gimme another sound. I promise it'll be quick.
Nothing more, either an old tree or something that noticed it's wrong doing.
I continued listening for some more time. I don't know for how long, I just stood there, focused on my hearing. My eyes were closed, a flock of deer could walk by directly in front of me... if they were silent enough.
No, away with these thoughts, they only distract you.
Still nothing. After a while I continued. I bore my bow over my back, it was easier to switch on all fours that way if I had to.
Come on, you gotta find some food. We... you... I... whatever I shaked my head this had never happened before, this situation, there was always enough food after turning. I'm unsure if I wanna find out what happens if there aint.
I stopped again, closed my eyes, and focused.
Birds. No... won't ever hit them, and even if I would, I would need uncountable of those. Done with the thought. Silence.
