Three arrows hissed past me in quick succession, the air splitting around my ears as I twisted and weaved, my body moving on instinct alone.
My agility kept me alive, but Zarah wasn't letting up.
Another volley came.
And this time I had no choice but to draw Gravefang across my body, swatting two of the shafts from the air, their wood splintering as they ricocheted away.
But then the first arrow — the one I had avoided earlier — returned.
It curved unnaturally, homing in on me like a predator that had never missed its mark.
I swerved hard to the side, ducking behind the broad trunk of a tree.
For a split second, I thought I'd bought myself a reprieve, but then an arrow punched clean through the bark, quivering inches from my shoulder.
