Recasting Arrows

Terra's Point of ViewThe moon luminously had its stunning arrays reflected on the river as fireflies fled before my sight. I witnessed how the pure spring drifts the fallen leaves from among the tall leafy trees and I smiled at the thought, "It feels refreshing to be here once again," I mumbled and led my feet onto the streaming waters as I sensed the soft and cold flows of its mist. "How I love the moon as it brightly shines above the sky, I wonder what it looks like once the moon collides with the sun?" I whispered once more and gently splashed off the stream, I tucked my sandy hair which is waist-length. I lightly take a grip on the hem of my apparel and sigh, "When will our kingdom taste such peace like this?" I muttered as I lifted my eyes and gazed at the castle. I constantly know our kingdom to be the adequate place for all lands and kingdoms in the mainland of Moresis. I'm afraid to say that numerous clans envied our territory, they desired gold and riches, and their enviou

I stared at the mirror and witnessed my reflection. I sigh once more to recognize how foolish I am to agree with what my father desired, that is to be the eldest prince's bride. It is funny how I guess that it could be this easy to agree for marriage, yet our feelings aren't mutual. I could not do something to convince my father to back out, only if I have the power to disobey… in the kingdom where I truly belong, it is strictly prohibited to behave disobediently, either you shall be killed or thrown into the pit and embrace the endless torment you have to withstand. "You look so lovely, Terra." I rolled my eyes before turning my back to see the man who uttered those words. "I know," "You should often smile, you look more beautiful whenever you do it." He spoke once again and walked near me, he let out a grin upon beholding my beauty. I hastily tied my hair into a bun before he could even notice that some portion of it was chopped. "It is sorrowful to believe that you are foreordai

The sun is about to hide beneath the horizon and I am now standing at the fields as I watch the sunset on its own. The rookies went home and I was left alone. A smile beams in my edges as I think of what goes by earlier, "I will be having my practice tomorrow," I whispered and began to step my feet into the sandy field. I once more glance at the target and had a grip of the bow, I look straight and sighted for it. I held the bowstring, preparing my fingers to let go of the arrow as I gasp for air. Archery has been my preference. It gives me a calm mood and I often uses it to reduce my anger or grief within my chest. As I let go of the arrow, it directly darted toward the target and I sigh in relief upon witnessing how it pierced through the center. "Not bad at all," I whispered and a smirk escaped from my edges. Mayhaps I must go home and assemble myself for the night's lantern exhibition. As I have my departure, I notice a silhouett

I remained puzzled the entire walk we made towards the top. I almost lost my breath yet I proceeded to keep alive until we reached the destination. "It is still not the top, Terra, you need to hike the stairs in order to eventually reach the most top," I mumbled to myself and let go of a sigh. It is a good way to encourage one's self, am I right? My thoughts are troubled and I do not know what I must do to keep calm. His words as if slapped my face, how come I'd be in danger? Ever since I discovered the woods, it has become my favorite spot and indeed it gives relaxation. I wonder what causes me to be in danger once I go back there? I cannot recall anything ever since I woke up in the middle of the forest. Perhaps something wrong had transpired? "You seem to be overthinking, what is it?" Ezekiel spoke and reached for my hand. I paused from almost trudging on the stone stairs of the hill and finally decided to get any help from him. "It made me

I remained silent on the wooden stool as I gradually took a glimpse of the Prince who eventually sent me home. Sage Williams greeted our sight as we arrived yet upon seeing Timothy with me, she hastened to lock her lips. I rolled my eyes at her expression and I wanted to vomit forth as I thought of both of them. It seems that something is up with the two of them, perhaps that is the reason why Prince Timothy insisted on driving me home. "We have training for tomorrow, it would be very uncomfortable to see you participating in the game with your arm wounded." I heard the Prince spoke and so, I glanced at his countenance only to see his handsome face. I noticed that Sage was also sneaking behind the door and I knew she heard of our conversation. "It happened that I am still capable of playing with the archers, it is just a slice, nothing to worry about, Tim." I do not want to appear weak before his sight. Thoughts were again running inside my head and I w
