Ilyadia brushed his long hair away from his left eye with his right hand. He then turned his head slightly, and took one last look at his tribe. His eldest brother gave him a nod, and the next-oldest brother raised his sword in a mock-salute. Ilyadia raised his hand in farewell, and continued walking. Adventure lay in front of him, and, beyond that, he was sure, greatness awaited.
"Wait a second!" came the voice, along with the sounds of a horse galloping. "Forgetting something?" asked one of his brothers (one of a pair of triplets who had a way with horses). Ilyadia smiled, and took the pack of supplies from his brother (it was either Aaron, Bryan, or Clyde).
"Thank you." Ilyadia said with a grin. He slung the pack onto his left shoulder, right beside his quiver of arrows.
"Good luck, little brother." his brother (Must be Clyde, Ilyadia thought) said, and then rode off. Ilyadia watched him for a second before turning around once more and continuing his walk away from his old life. He was finally following after the parents he had never known...

As the Hunter walked across the plains that for the past 17 years had been his home, he contemplated just what he was doing. He had wanted to travel across the world in pursuit of adventure (and his parents) ever since he was two. He had convinced his grandfather to teach him how to shoot a bow, although Ilyadia had never been very good at it. After his grandfather had passed away, his eldest brother was left to teach him how to shoot.
After that... Well, Ilyadia actually got a little worse with his bow. His second-oldest brother had offered to teach Ilyadia how to use a sword, but Ilyadia was even worse at that than bows. So, from the age of 10 to 17, Ilyadia had been practicing with a bow.
Ilyadia stopped walking. It had to have been almost twenty minutes now since he had left his tribe... So far, adventure was rather boring.

Ilyadia thought back to the stories he had heard from his grandfather when he was younger. No adventurer had ever travelled alone... Perhaps that was why his adventure seemed so dull. But where oh where woul he find people to travel with? Ilyadia sighed as he walked further and further from his old life. As he began to turn, thinking that he should just go back and maybe ask one of his brothers to come with him, he noticed something.
Two figures walking. And, if he was correct... They looked as if they too were on an adventure, the same as he was! Perhaps... Perhaps they would allow him to go with them! Ilyadia grinned as a plethora of other happy thoughts entered his mind. But how to attract their attention...
