Raven disarms Brock, throws him down, and aims a blade at his eye. After chasing Brock away, Raven holds the frightened cub and vows to shield him. Raven teaches young Ash how to write ancient scripts and hunt game with arrows. Raven easily sweeps Ash during a yard spar. Inside, he measures Ash's height for a coat. They sit together by the fire as autumn arrives.
Raven knocks the weapon from Brock's hand and slams him to the floor. He presses a dagger against Brock's eye, ordering him out and threatening to gouge his eyes out if he touches Ash again.
Raven cradles the terrified child in his arms. Later, Raven teaches Ash to write ancient scripts, shoot arrows at wild game in the snowy woods, and eat warm stew by the fireplace.
In the snowy training yard, an older Ash spars with Raven using wooden weapons. Raven critiques his stance and balance. Raven effortlessly disarms the youth and sweeps his feet, knocking Ash down into the snow.
Back inside the cabin, Raven measures Ash's height for a new hunt coat. Ash proudly claims he is growing and will soon be taller and stronger than Raven. Raven firmly reminds Ash that he remains his senior.
Outside the cabin window, snowy winter gradually shifts into autumn. Raven and Ash sit closely side by side before the roaring hearth, watching their shadows flicker against the cabin's wooden wall.
“Get out of my room! Touch him again and I'll gouge out your eyes.”
“It's over. I am your hunter and your shield.”
“Cap, I grew again. Soon I'll be taller and stronger than you.”
“No matter how tall you get, I'm still your senior.”
The snowy winter fades as autumn arrives outside the cabin window. Ash and Raven sit side by side in the firelight, their shadows cast against the timber wall. Ash is no longer a helpless pup. How will their dynamic shift as Ash grows older and physically stronger than his guardian?
