Offense/Archery & Defense

(Offense/Archery & Defense Increase)

Every day you continue to improve yourself. Seemingly gifted by the gods and destined for greater things, no one can deny your natural abilities. Others at the academy begin to envy you and some look to you for advice. You had no idea you’d learn so quickly. Whenever you pick up your bow, or perform a takedown, it feels natural, almost like instinct. Only one week of training left, you decide to rest early and head to your tent. Your much needed rest is interrupted as you awaken late in the night to see five boys in crowding over you. They look familiar, you think you’ve seen them out in the training yard. You remember they’re in a seperate class from yours, part of the program for teenagers.

One of them speaks up, “You think you’re better than us, don’t you?” Before you can say anything, he starts again, “Just because you’re daddy was a knight, you get special treatment. Everyone talks about you, they all think you’re so great. You’re not. You’d never survive in a real battle. We’re doing you a favor kid.” Just then, why you presume to be the leader of the group, reveals a blade in his hand. Short, but sharp. “Since you want to be a knight like daddy, we’ll cut that arm off so you can look just like him.” They laugh like hyenas in the night. Frozen with fear, and filled with anger, you know you have to think quick.
