It took everything out of Arold to release another arrow he'd trained on the Augmentbright Scavenger's back. But he had to do it to help Joysaleen, to protect her from the claw of energy about to pierce her. She had helped him escape from Ezlus and he hadn't even done anything for her yet. He had to make sure he did right on the sacrifice of Kinimi, on her protecting Joysaleen as he himself hid from the enemy. Not idly.
Preparing.
The arrow zipped through the air, streaking a faint line of green, stabbing beside the strip of spiky hair lining her spine, into the striped back of the hyena Augmentbright.
Through her Surge. Arold had been having some overly decent luck in his recent shots. First it turned out he had an Aspect advantage over Kinimi back in the Skybridge. Then he had somehow managed to make Hotaro take his oversized hand away from Ryuzio. And then Arold had done the same thing but to Saleff.
