The Once and Future King Book 1, Chapter 6 Summary

  • One day, Wart and Kay are busy practicing archery. They soon grow bored of this, and decide to play an archery game called Rover.
  • This basically involves taking turns shooting arrows at a target in the woods that they agree upon.
  • Kay hits a rabbit.
  • After they clean it, they keep to their usual tradition in this game of shooting an arrow straight up into the air.
  • They do it right now to honor the rabbit.
  • Well, this isn't a very good sign: Wart's arrow is snatched out of the sky by a black crow.
  • Kay gets scared, and thinks the crow is actually a witch.
