"Hagian!" He screams, reaching for the bow.
But it's too late. With a sickening twang, the arrow is released.
Yetsune's gaze locks onto the arrowhead as it travels toward her with terrifying speed. Her heart stops, a cold dread washing over her as she realizes the true target. Fear grips her like a vice, paralyzing her body. The world seems to slow down, each second stretching into an eternity as the arrow hurtles closer. Just as she braces for the impact, a blur of motion catches her peripheral vision. Suddenly, someone slams into her, knocking her to down.
She tumbles across the field, strange arms wrapped protectively around her head. The rough ground scrapes against her skin, but the pain is dulled by the surge of adrenaline coursing through her veins. The arrow strikes the target with a resounding thud, hitting the exact spot where she had been standing just a heartbeat ago.
