[SP-F01-03] Its forgin time <<Earning a living: Forager>>


Recommended Posts

The long bow in Fae's hand felt comfortable and it made her smile as she thought back to the first time she had ever learned to shoot one. She had been a small kid, it was after her mother had left her and her dad and she needed something to latch onto in that time of need. An archery camp had put up flyers in their home town, advertising a week long retreat where they would learn how to shoot bows and do other activities. Fae remembered racing home from school clutching the flyer, begging her dad to let her go, and he did. The week long camp wasn't all that great and most of the people there weren't as interested in learning or teaching the craft of archery as they were to just not be in school, but the event sparked a love of the sport in Fae, and it was one she practiced up until Sword Art Online.

Shaking her head for more clarity Fae breathed in and grabbed an arrow from the quiver she attached to her hip, it seemed like they would be following standard rules for competitive archery seeing as she only had three arrows in it. Breathing deeply Fae knocked the arrow and pulled the string to her cheek, letting go with her fingers as she breathed out. The arrow flew straight but steadily started veering off to the side as if there was a strong wind. Confused Fae looked over at the guardian's and it appeared as though the same thing had happened to them, and a laugh oddly sounding like the announcer rang out around them.

Fae leaned into where she thought the wind was coming from so that she could make sure that it hit the target even after being veered so off course. Calmly she pulled the bowstring back her fingers lightly gripping the arrow that she had knocked to the string. Breathing in calmly Fae let the arrow fly, making note of exactly how far off to the side she had aimed so that she could adjust if the arrow still missed. Letting go of the arrow Fae concentrated hard to see where the arrow landed on the target that was seventy meters away she would need to know how much to adjust her shot by if it hit too far to the left or right.

A dull thud rang out as Fae's second arrow hit the target in the distance, landing on the far left side of the target, Fae had overcompensated, or the winds had died down, even though the arrow hit the target, it had fallen on the outer area which was not worth any points. 

Sighing Fae grabbed another arrow, the wind not actually being able to be felt made it hard for her to line up her shots, it was impossible to tell how strong the wind was so she just had to guess, if it was the same as it was before than she just needed to aim a bit closer to the target.

Fae methodically lined up her second shot, she had overcompensated last time, but now knowing where the arrow hit the target she could aim for the exact point that would land it in the bullseye. Releasing the arrow Fae held her breath, she didn't want to be shown up by these monsters, and this was a sport that she not only had a passion for, but was also skilled at. The arrow flew being carried by the strong wind, thudding into the center most yellow circle. Fae couldn't help but let out a cheer as a shockwave blew out from her target and caused the guardians shot to go wide.

It wasn't much longer until Fae heard a set of three sharp whistle blasts go off, signalling that they could go grab their arrows. Making her way to the distant target Fae glanced over at the guardians. There were no arrows on their target, meaning that Fae was in the lead, she had won the first set which would be 2 points, she would need 6 to win. Fae pulled the two arrows out of her target and began looking for the third that had gone wide.

It didn't take long for Fae and the guardians to be back to their starting points, each with three arrows back in their quiver. If Fae win the next two sets she would win the third match of the competition, and based on the health bars showing above the targets, Fae was certain that meant she would win the fight.

Back at the starting line Fae held up her bow, pulling the string back and taking a moment to focus, she doubted that the wind had changed enough at this point to make her arrow go too far off stray if she just aimed for the same place she aimed last time. Once again methodically lining her bow up to where she thought she had aimed previously Fae release the arrow, watching as it soared through the air, thudding softly in the distance into the second of the yellow rings, this one wasn't worth as much as the bullseye in the center, but it was still worth a lot for this set. 

After loosing her arrow Fae took a moment to look over at her fiery competitors, their arrow flying similarly through the air, a soft thud echoing through the endless void as it made contact with the target seventy meters ahead of them. It was hard to see from this distance, but the arrow was sticking out in one of the red circles vibrating softly from the impact. The shot wasn't as good as Fae's, but it was good enough that it wouldn't be hard for them to overtake her if she wasn't careful.

A dull throbbing started up in the back of Fae's head as she grabbed the next arrow out of her hip quiver, a feint ringing feeling like it was attempting to escape her skull. With a sharp intake of breath Fae brought the bow even with her chest, holding the arrow loosely to the string waiting for the signal to draw and then fire, the dull aching and ringing growing every moment as if building up to some crescendo. The customary whistle blew out and Fae drew the bow in one solid motion, only sighting for a second before letting the arrow fly. The ringing seemed almost tied to the arrow growing in intensity and volume as it grew closer to the target. Black was beginning to flake the edges of her vision as the pressure seemed to build until finally, as the arrow hit the target it was gone almost with a pop.

Fae stood, her head groggy as she looked at her surroundings, the weird waking dream was gone, and Fae was again standing in the ring of fire, only one of the gargoyle like creatures opposing her, its body bubbling and bursting, cracked dry magma flaking off as the mass of molten rock writhed beneath it. The creature snarled as Fae tried to gain her bearings. Memories flooding through her mind like a wave, none clear, but pictures of her leaping out of the way of fiery whips and plunging her straight sword into the magma form of one of the beasts the customary explosion signalling that it had died. 

Fae had been fighting the creatures all along, the land she had been in before being nothing more than but in her head. She couldn't understand what was happening or why, but it was clear that she was back in the moment and that she still had another one of those monsters to face before she could fret about it further. Fae readied her blade as she shook away the grogginess.

The roaring sound of fire was all that could be heard throughout the forest as Fae stood opposite the monster guarding the demonic shard that the gypsy women had told her to go get. She hadn't told her that there would be anything like this guarding the fragment of demonic energy, or else she wouldn't have taken on the quest so lightly. The firelight Caused shadows to dance across the clearing as the wind blew through the fiery barrier keeping her trapped in her duel with the guardian. Fae could barely hear the thunderous cracking sound of the whip as the guardian lashed out for another attack, attempting to wrap the flaming weapon around Fae's sword to wrench it out of her hand.

Fae let the whip wrap around her sword, the blade instantly beginning to glow from the heat, the orange overtaking the natural bright blue sheen. Ash and small chunks of molten rock crumbled off of the monster's arm as it jerked the whip trying to pull the length of the fire rope taught. Fae twisted the blade right as the rope stiffened, using the strength of the guardian's pull to bring the sharp edge of her blade pulling through the tangible fire, the flames hanging in the air for only a moment before the scattered in the wind only a hint of smoke being left behind before that too was carried away. The corners of Fae's mouth tilted up slightly in triumph as the final remnants of the whip were dragged away and she was left standing her sword versus the sharp claws of igneous rock on the guardians fingers.
