Teriel saw the Commander standing in front of the Sun Bow. He was taller than she expected, but his armor was thinner than expected.

Without a moment's hesitation, she pulled back her bowstring and fired and a thousand bolts of arrowheads sprung out at once. Her magic arrow on the magic bowstring was one of an emerald color, the color of a strong poison. Then she moved her fingers from the string, the string flung from back to the bow it was tied to, the arrow on the string soared from the string, flying straight into the air and across the chamber, and shot directly to the Commander.

It hit him hard, with smoke exploding on impact!

A second later, a thousand magic arrows surrounding the lady who pulled the single magic arrow shot a thousand more but in the air at the same target the first arrow was shot to.

Sounds and shattering explosion vapored at the same spot Teriel's first arrow was struck, and a thousand more struck the same spot. Each firing at the same time and stroking the same thing. Every strike and impact sent out a large pale of smoke into the air.

In minutes, the thousands upon thousands of magic arrows ceased firing and Teriel only kept her breath still.

Red smoke rose from the spot the Commander stood, but there was no clearing in seconds to full minutes. Each minute that passed felt like a long hour passing by the second.

In time, the fumy smoke cleared like a breath of wind blowing through and the Commander still stood. His armor and face remained untouched and not undented from Teriel's horde of magic arrows. In the slew of magic arrows, the Commander was not armed. The horde of arrows was enough to kill an entire human army with the strongest of armor known to humans, but the Commander wasn't fazed by a Twin's attack at all.

Then the Commander raised a hand with his middle finger on his thump. Thump! He snapped his finger against his thump to form a fist and the thump pointing upwards to the sky.

Cracks screeched in the ground and small rocks popped and rolled. Thin figures stretched up high like corpses rising from the grave. Small sticky figures were the ones rising from the ground, and there were twenty of them standing tall with skulls, ribs, and bones of the sorts.

"I should have known: a necromancer! You are no human not all; you are a demon of hell!" Teriel said to the Commander.

The Commander remained silent; his thump pointing upwards now drifted down to the ground. Then he used his index finger of the same hand to point to Teriel. The sign showing to drag Teriel down to hell with them.

The skeletons moved forward in unison, carrying spears and swords with shields all together. They marched like obedient soldiers, but these were soldiers of the undead. They lacked muscles, organs, brains, blood, and everything that remained of the corpses were the dried bones. The eye sockets of the skulls only glowed green glows or had a pair of diamond jewelries.

Teriel smirked at the sight of dead soldiers about to become dead a second time. "I haven't five years in training for nothing, and these specs of dust can be flown off from a windowsill."

Teriel her legs in a tall stance, and she pulled back the bowstring once again. "Come and get up to drag down to hell, bitchy bones!"

Her voice taunted the skeletons to begin their march immediately. All of them marched at once to the sister with a magic bow enhanced by the elven and forged from hot forgeries of dwarven hands. Teriel smiled as she fired at once to the furthest skeleton, which sparked into a great flame.

The skeletons charged when she fired the first arrow, and they went from walking to running in one second. They swarmed like a plague of locusts surrounding to devour a single plant, but it's a plant that can bite can.
