An arrow took Cole right in the forehead, bringing all of the singing to a screeching halt. But Cole's body did not touch the ground as most would expect, instead he righted his body and showed everyone the arrow pinched in between two fingers, with not a single scratch on him. Cole turned his gaze, finding the person responsible for shooting the arrow.
A soldier sitting on a stag just behind the general. And granted by the furious look on the face of the general, this was not a part of the performance. But the person even went as far as to seat up straight in his saddle and begin shouting at Cole.
"I pledge my soul and body to the federation! For our way is one of Nature and Knowledge for our way is-"
"TRUE!!" the rest of the elven army shouted back.
