Chapter 3: "One bow and many secrets"

POV: Danguzo Zhidima

I don't remember anything from my childhood but, swords, fighting and shooting a bow over and over again and loving it, but covering my fingers with bloody blisters as well, sometimes I would shoot arrows until I couldn't stand the pain I felt when I would pull an arrow back for the next shot. I grew up in the woods trained by a man who saw something in me that I couldn't see a glimpse of at times, but when I turned fifteen, things started to change. It was the night of my birthday, I was doing what I usually did at night when it got really dark, I would run through the woods almost blindly, shooting at targets that I had placed on 50 different trees earlier in the day. The exercise helped me with my memory and my aim. I could only carry 20 to 25 arrows on me at one time so I would run past all 50 targets 2 or 3 times, gathering what arrows I could then after I would wait until the sun came up. This time as soon as the sunlight touched my bow it began to turn black as if it was burning, certain areas were a really dark red color that appeared to be black, the string that was made of 6 different lengths of the same material, was thinner the closer it was to the middle and I would become thicker and stronger the closer it was to the wood, which began to look like obsidian that night, and the string was then all dark red and from that point forward the bow and it's string felt stronger and even smoother to the touch. Later I would learn from my first master that I wasn't exactly human, but before all of what came after I left the woods, after my master died in the 7th great Kishi war. My new bow also came with 2 abilities, whenever I would shoot an arrow it would go way faster than I could ever make it go, and I knew for sure that it was the bow, cause I tried other bows and the arrow would move at as fast speed, but with my bow or what my first master called it, "A Reapers Bow", the arrows would sometimes go so fast that they'd go through whole tree's and stone too, I knew it'd be hard to survive just one shot from my bow placed correctly. My favorite part though is, the second ability every time I shoot an arrow with the reapers bow, the arrows would appear on my back, at first they would come back automatically, but curious once I thought " don't come back." after shooting a arrow it didn't. With that being known I could now let the arrows go through a certain amount of targets before having the arrows come back to me, usually they would come back after hitting or passing through one object.
Ever since I left the woods I've been honing my one known ability, the old man always said "warriors of no womb have 2 abilities."
