Offense (Archery)

(Offense/Archery Increases)

You gravitate towards the bow & arrow, almost as if it’s calling to you. As you grab the bow, you feel the heft of it. It almost feels like finding the perfect key to an impossible lock. Like it completes a part of you, you didn’t know you were missing.

Anu breaks you away from your thoughts, “Ah, the bow, a good choice. Strike from a distance and surprise your enemies. That is, if you know how to use it. Otherwise you won’t be striking much of anything, let alone your intended target. That’s what practice is for.” Anu hands you a quiver full of arrows. It fits around you and rests between your shoulder blades. Anu helps guides your movements so that your form is correct.

The arrow now ready to fire, Anu assists once more, “Take a deep breath, focus your breathing, calm your nerves. Let everything around you fade.”

The target stands twenty yards away, but as you focus, you mentally zoom in on it. It now appears closer than in reality. Confident, you release your grip on the arrow. The arrow cuts through the air effortlessly and pierced the center of the target, coming straight out the back. You look on in shock, and quickly a smile spreads across your face. Anu too looks on in amazement, doing double takes between you and the target. “That was incredible! You’re a natural!” By the end of the day you can hit the center of any target nearly every time.
