Subchapter 3

Flash Arrows

The sound of Celosia's idol crumbling awoke Wander with a shudder. He got to his knees and shook his head, then stole a glance at Mono. She didn't seem to be deceased at all--only tired. Hearing the rumbling that signalled Dormin once again, he raised his head to the light.

Thou hath done wisely in thine battles.

Wander nodded and got into a crouching position, but when he tried to stand the spot where Celosia had charged him throbbed and he gasped before crouching again, clutching his side. The mocking laughter of the god boomed through the Shrine, and Wander clenched his teeth before slowly easing up. Eventually the pain subsided and he looked confidently to the hole in the ceiling.

The arrows faded and reappeared in Wander's quiver. He nodded, still amazed, and turned to Dormin's light. "Lord Dormin, I am ready for my next Colossus." he said. Dormin chuckled softly. This boy was beginning to act more like a colossus. If only he knew why.
