QS ran as swiftly as the wind towards the campsite where the army had stopped after he had shot there leader. As he sprinted he wondered if he should have charged such a high price, of his own village nonetheless. Then he thought back to the way the council treated him, with that disdain and confidence in his failure – which he had proved wrong without a doubt – and his guilt quickly subsided.

The tree swayed slightly as he sat down on a thick branch, he pulled out his specially adapted bow. This bow had to have more than the average strength for an adults bow but be about the size of an adolescents bow three quarters the size of an adults. He searched for his target while he strung the bow and drew and arrow from his quiver and placed it in his bow. Just as he saw him and pulled the string to aim he was seen by another man with a bow. He had a choice ensure his survival and miss his opportunity or hit his target and possibly lose his life! What could he do…
