The Binding Fates SEASON 1: The Past

Chapter 10: Artemis

"Keep your back straight," said Arbor to Elyse as he taught her Archery after lunch. Another day, and another new morning for Elyse at the Academy.

And as usual, people's stares are the same. Except for the members of the Archery Club especially Arrow and Arbor.

Since they are twins, they have both the same face but they don't have the same attitude. Arrow is comfortable to be around while Arbor is cold and distant. It's pretty awkward to be around him.

"Like this?" Elyse said and she straighten her back, Arbor nodded his head.

"Yes, that's right. Then keep your eyes on the target. Pull the strings together, tightly —" He continues. Elyse doesn't understand a thing.

On the other side, Arbor feels irritated to see Elyse getting so stiff. She almost looked like a tree because of her stiffness.

"Elyse, stop stiffing." He said and it made her freeze.

"I can't. I really can't." She said admitting defeat. She really can't.

"Man, it's only been just a day after you joined the club, Elyse. You need to focus." Arbor said while his eyebrows twitched.

"Wow, my brother became strict. This should be celebrated!" Arrow arrived with sweat running through her face.

"Where did you go?" Arbor said, curious.

"Haha! Interested?"

"Nope." He took back his word and goes back to look at Elyse again. They watched her as she tries to practice her posture many times trying to aim at the target. It's been an hour but she still hasn't hit the target.

"Well, she's really bad at this huh," Arrow commented feeling pity towards Elyse watching her suffer.

"Well, hunting is essential for us. Even if she can't be a skilled archer, she needs to know the basics of archery." Arbor commented.

"But I heard her father taught her so?" Arrow said he sighs. "That's been ages ago, Arrow. You heard her." Suddenly, Arrow smiled when she turned around to stare at him.

"What?" He said while his eyebrows twitched.
