《The Zodians - Book 1: The Outlander》New World Order - Chapter 35: Arrow on the Stele
Advertisement
"Miss!"
The arrow didn't even have time to get close to the target that was stuck in the ground. Damiana without hesitation took another arrow and continued to aim.
"Miss!"
This time the arrow went past the target and swerved to the right. She continued to shoot another arrow.
"Miss!"
The arrow this time grazes to the left. Damiana continued to aim with a unchanged expression.
"Miss!"
Arrows stick to the stele pole. The baby doesn't stop.
“Low eccentricity!”
This time the arrow hit the outer rim below the round target. But the baby's face remained the same.
“Eccentric on top!”
Arrows stick into the top rim of the target. Damiana continued.
"Miss!"
This time the arrow did not hit the target.
"Miss!"
The arrow continued to not hit the target.
“Right eccentricity!”
The arrow in the outer rim is deflected to the right. Damiana continued.
"Miss!"
Didn't hit.
"Miss!"
Continue going out.
"Miss!"
Go out.
“Eccentric left!”
The arrow is close to the center, but still outside the rim to the left.
Damiana raised her bow and shot, she opened her eyes to see the red center in the distance. Holding the bow and arrow handle firmly in her hands without straining her hand muscles. An easterly breeze blew her hair off her sides. The skirt is fluttering in the early snow. Talbot stood aside, looking at her. Even he himself did not understand what happened to Dami today to look so determined. Damiana's expression was not as usual. Something intense, and so cold. She remained silent and her bow was still on the string. It's like waiting for the right time.
The wind stops. The surrounding air stood as still as a statue. The little girl's expression did not change, and she lightly let go of her hand. The arrow grazed her cheek, making a scratch in her skin. The arrowhead seemed to rotate in the air, just like a javelin tearing the wind in front of me. Damiana straightened her body and looked at the direction of the arrow, the change in her face remained the same. The little girl silently waited for what she wanted most.

“Hit!”
Damiana just now changed her face. The little girl smiled, shrugged her shoulders and said softly:
"Eventually!"
Damiana didn't bother to stay at the training ground. She put her bow and arrow back on the shelf, then left without minding that Talbot was still there. He followed the girl's figure disappearing, then looked back at the arrows still strewn on the ground, and the target hit in the heart. But only now did he realize, it was not Damiana's stele, but Beatrice's.

Crimson Astral Cascade
Summary: A vampire-astronaut from a futuristic super-reality, is reborn into a post-apocalyptic fantasy world, and now must make a living for himself and his family as a summonable spirit of the void. The ‘chosen’ son of a vast, multiversal, empire is exiled for the sake of political expediency. Honestly, they might have been trying to execute him, rather than just sending him away, but as it turned out, he survived. He fell into the grand nebula, the sewage line, and the plumbing system for the cosmos. Then he was within the base layer of the collective of mostly-destroyed universes known as the core worlds of Tesson. Now for the sake of his new family and new life, he will have to do his best as a “heroic” Astral, traveling between the myriad fractal-worlds of Tesson that still reside outside of the nebula as means of making a living. TLDR: Who hasn’t played a gacha game by now. But have you ever wondered about what kind of life those characters you’re trying to win have lived and are living? Posted only Scribblehub and Royal Road Confirmation Sequence: 2, 4, 16, 32, 64, 128…Tasty Cool.

The Pet Dragon
Reborn as a dragon and stumbling through the world the MC feels rather disadvantaged. This story is a writing challenge for myself for fun and I'll start with one chapter every day though they might not be particularly long. I did not plan anything out but I have ideas. Freeform was supposed to be this but my ideas were too complicated and I couldn't keep myself from overthinking it. Well, that failed. I will resume this story at a later date.

Red Street Daybreak
August Samuel Hatch was born under an inauspicious pattern of stars. It's granted him what is widely considered the most unlucky of inconveniences: becoming host to a powerful but pernicious spirit that will act as his guide and protector--and one day end his life. Sairne is sworn to stand by August's side and, when the fancy strikes her, advise him, all in the service of atoning for a past life she can’t remember having committed a grave enough offense to earn her soul indentureship in the mortal realm. Bound by a celestial contract neither one can negotiate, their fates are all they've ever known. But in a city ruled by religious right and where magic runs deep as bedrock, their search for a missing friend leads them to a dark conspiracy that could transmute the very magic that binds them to their fates, and that might grant them the ultimate choice: do they save the city or save themselves? Cross-posted on Wattpad and Ao3. For fans of fantasy YA story beats if they starred adults instead, 1920s inspired setting, lots of banter, larger cast of characters, somewhat soft magic system. Completed, but being actively edited prior to posting! I'm the only captain on this ship, so mind any errors.
