Arrow

There is a story of the three arrows, in Verance it's a story about the arrows of the damn or arrows of evil. One who touch it would died a miserable death. One who keeps it would got luck left him for his entire life. And lastly, the one who could destroy it would have an angel blessing for his family until the end of time.

Differ from the Verance, in Celtanor Island there spread of the Arrow of God, Evil Slaying Arrow, or the Arrow of Destiny that could kill anything in this world. The arrow that the tip of it had crafted from the outer sky iron by the legendary blacksmith of the island. The arrows that a lucky soldier brought to war as a memento of his old friend that have died. The arrows that killed the fake holy maiden of The Verance.

Some says that The Arrows are really have magic in it. Some says The Arrows are alive, it had become a magical creatures. Some bard says that The Arrows developed it's own sentience and have a spirit in it. It knew what kind of person that touch it, if it's a bad person it will becomes as bad as the person. If good man keeps it, it would becomes a good too. As we all know that rumours is just a fake words without facts, but a rumours sometimes has some parts of truth in it.

After Jehanne had fallen, her remains got carried away to the back lines of the army. The odd things is, it does not have a wounds like when she first got carried away. The blood is still there, the torn clothes and broken armour is still there. But the wounds and the arrows was gone to thin air.

In the chaos of battle, the back lines of the army of Jehanne was on a highest morale. They felt like their first time got commanded by the holy maiden. The morales got spread to the front lines by the messengers that said "The remain of our holy maiden is intact, God bless our army!". The army becomes more aggressive on the siege, the troops on the ladder seems felt no pain from their wounds and keeps trying to take over the walls.

On the Celtanor side's, the captain of the army sending some of his troops to escape from the secret passage. He then said, "It will be your last mission from me. Take him to the island, spread the news that he is the Messenger of our God that slayed the fake holy maiden of our enemy. Our kingdom shall stay strong, in the name of our God!". " Yes sir! In the name of our God our oath will never broken!" one of the soldier answered calmly then signalling the other to move.

An information will have it's own way to spread, right or wrong then good or bad they will spread as long as language can carry. The news got spread to the villages around the battlefield expanding bit by bit. Anger and sorrow becomes the drive that burn the heart of the villagers. Their beloved holy maiden becomes the martyr, the toll that God takes for their freedom and prosperity.

August felt his hand that held the flower becomes hotter, but of course it's just hot and not painful. Then he said to it, "What are you? Show me the truth". The flower on his hand than magically becomes smaller and the shape of arrowhead was formed. "I see, then change your form to anything not flower" said August. It changes form again to the shape of a cross, a silver rosary plus the necklace. "Thank you for the truth" said August to it, then he wears it on his neck.

August vision becomes blur again, another retro cognition have comes. He saw that a middle aged man got robbed in the small alley, all of his belonging had gone except an arrow that stuck on his shoulder that had planted by the robber. The middle aged man looked very miserable, he looked down and started crying, "Am I that evil?". He then pulled out the arrow from his shoulder. Blood spurted everywhere, with a tight grip he stab the arrow to his neck to suicide. But the misery does not end there, his stab missed the vital point so he was died a slow and painful death.

The scene changed, August back to the battlefield. He saw the familiar banner of Jehanne, then he thought it was after the holy maiden had fallen. And he is right, he saw the carriage that carry the remains and the middle aged man was one of the company. With fast movement the middle aged man pulled the arrows from Jehanne's body and hide them behind his armour. "Ah, I see that" thought's August, but then he confused because the middle aged man snuck out three arrows. There are two more arrows that not yet discovered and what is it's power exactly.

Back to the forest, August open his eyes again. With a little contemplation how an arrows becomes a flower and how the chieftain got it, he thought that time will slowly answer it. He then looked again the new rosary, and then hide it inside his clothes. August move again through the path of light stream.

At the other forest, a wind suddenly blowing to the direction of north. Then some fallen leaves looks like made a sign. "Thank you!" shouted a young man, yes he is Darron that finally follow the sign to the north. Darron that born a runner feels like he can run faster now. He feels like his mind, soul, and body having a better coordination and connection at each other. Then he speed up his running speed, and he is right that he run faster two to three times than usual.

Around an hour later Darron left the forest, and entering the plain. He wants to go to find a village to replenish his supplies for his journey. But the plains was blocked by the horde of big horned beast that looks like a buffalo that charging at his direction. Darron felt so unlucky and confused of what to do, jump or force the way through. Then he remember Master Erlik advice to not overexert his power, so he jumped as strong as possible like never before.

"Ahhhh.... It's felt so good, like flying" Darron speak to himself. But the smile on his face was gone instantly after he saw something horrible. Flock of Two Headed Eagles was coming, so the horde of Horned Beast was not charging at him or migrating but running for their life from the Two Headed Eagles. "Shit!"
