Grey stepped forward, raising his arm and moving his hands in smooth, deliberate motions as if drawing back an invisible bow.
The air around him shimmered with heat, and as he mimed nocking an arrow, a blazing projectile of flame materialized in his grasp.
It burned fiercely, casting an orange-red glow across his face.
His gaze locked onto the sky eagle soaring high above, its massive wings slicing through the air as it watched them from above.
Grey narrowed his eyes, shutting one to focus.
He took a steady breath, centering his aim, then exhaled slowly.
With a sharp release, the flaming arrow shot from his fingers, streaking through the sky like a fiery comet. The air hissed as the arrow tore through it, heading straight for its target. The unsuspecting eagle didn't even have time to react. The arrow pierced through its chest, leaving a massive, smoldering hole.
