I hope y'all enjoy this chapter, I'll be posting less more now since I start school tomorrow, but I'll try to get a chapter out every week or at the very least every other week.
The meals of old food were common, Gwaine's mother couldn't hunt due to an old wound on her leg, his father was gone. Rotten fruits given from the town merchants were often put in pies to cover the rotten flavor.

At eleven, Gwaine got a job working at the swordsmith's shop. The pay was bad, and one of the older boys in the village was always willing to hunt a little longer for a couple extra coins. Gwaine was a shit hunter, he was too impatient to wait for the perfect moment to strike the animals down.
"Ma! Look what I got!" The boy called out after his first paycheck.
His mother looked at the three small coins in her son's hand. She smiled, "Go buy yourself something, but be sure to give the hunters their fair share for feeding us."
Gwaine ran off into the village; making a stop at the hunters hut.
He came back two hours later (he just couldn't decide what to get, there were so many choices!) with a sack of three red apples in his hand. "Ma! Look what I got! We each get one and then we can put the other in a pie!" He gave his mother her share and the apple for the pie.
Almost immediately, he took a bite into his apple. His eyes went wide with glee. "Ma! You have to try it now! It's soo good!"
~~~~
Ever since, Gwaine got three apples after he got paid (every month). One for him, one for his mother and one for a pie.
Hope you liked it! I know it was kinda short, but I really tried to get it done.
