UNDER THE BLOODY MOONLIGHT
Elara's touch on my arm was light but reassuring, helping me secure the arrow.
"Now comes the fun part," Elara said, a glint of amusement in her eyes. "Take a deep breath, Luna. Focus on the target, not the bow. Feel the pull of the string as you draw it back, but don't jerk. Imagine you're drawing a thread of moonlight."
I closed my eyes, picturing the cool, silver glow of moonlight bathing the practice field. I drew the string back, the tension building steadily. Elara's words echoed in my mind, urging me towards a calmness I wasn't sure I possessed.
