What i find mind boggling, if the rift potentially is this dangerous or gruesome. How did his dad not teach him how to fight and hunt, knowing this could potentially be what he will face. Sure you might not want to teach your family arts, but dude something at least. Equip him with anything more useful than a small dagger. Especially with the logic of the call of the rift where they can get dragged into it unexpectedly.
