"Wow," Re'Kha exclaimed in surprise as she held a bow that was only twice the length of her palm. Attached to its riser was a rectangular column acting as a cartridge. Contained within it was an arrow that was fixed after it was bent a little, using its stiffness as a spring.
Contained within it was a small section through which arrows could be loaded. There was a thin open space trailing underneath the bent arrow, allowing for the bowstring to be drawn. When it was fully drawn, it would automatically get nocked.
This was established perfectly thanks to the bent arrow pressing on the normal arrows, pushing them in line to the string to get nocked. It was a simple mechanism, using a wooden rectangular box and an extra arrow. It was wide enough to hold four arrows in total, excluding the bent arrow. The length of each arrow was also twice the length of her palm.
