520 Gossips

Ana held his hands and ran to the crowd. There was a group of teenagers using the bow and arrows to shoot the small objects as targets.

"The winner will win a fruit basket. One bronze coin for five bows. The one who shoots any three will win and get an apple basket." the man shouted loudly to bring more and more customers. 

He cursed those who only stood to watch but did not scatter them away. This way, he would get more publicity.

Ana paid a bronze coin and passed the bow to Rowan. Her eyes looking at the guards and a wave of relief washed over her face when she assured them they were not following them anymore.

"Do not win, my child." she whispered but frowned when he lost the target. "No, for a change, shoot all four in the same object, the green one at your left. I want to see your skills." he went stiff at her command.
