THE KORA CHRONICLES: Her Chosen Fate

lesson#13: Archery

"I don't know why I'm teaching you this" Rosalind said as she gave me a bow and and an arrow
"I don't know why I'm learning this either..... Isn't this your sport.....I mean if there are archers why do I have to learn "I said
"Because a bow and arrow is a weapon"

I fixed my arrow on a bow and aimed....no I needed no guidance....I've done this before...when I and dad got together on holidays...he took me to golf courses.... Made me join a bowling league at one these famous bowling  alleys....and archery was not an exception... Everything was sports to him...and damn was I glad he taught me that

"I didn't know you had a good arm"Rosalind said slightly amused by my performance

She gave me another arrow and I did what I did best

"Archery is a sport from where I come from.....it's not highly considered as means of killing....maybe hunting.....and even hunting is a sport" I said as I landed an arrow on a tree
"Interesting"

Another arrow

"I think an arrow is the fastest way of making a clean possible kill" Rosalind went on
"Well....from my world....there's a weapon better and faster than an arrow"
"What is it??"
"A gun....there are many types.... Something you should be glad the dark forces from this side don't have"
"How does this gun work??"

Pull the trigger and boof!...there goes your victim
But I didn't say that....

"I don't know how to tell you..... But a bullet travels faster than an arrow...probably within nanoseconds I don't know"
"And what is this bullet"

Holy corn cakes
I turned towards her with a smile

"Let's say it's just like this bow and arrow.....the gun....is like the bow....the bullet...is like the arrow....not that long though....they vary in length... From  the one I saw...let's say probably two inches....you put the bullet in the gun....load it....and pull a trigger and the bullet goes flying into your target's insides and makes a mess of what used to be a brain...or intestines....or....whatever....."
I said and let my arrow fly into the tree again

"No chances of surviving??"Rosalind asked
"Oh there are!.....if you're hit in The leg....or shoulder.....let's say if the wound is not fatal....after all....if you're hit in the shoulder....you might bleed to death.....quick aid is probably the best thing"
"I wish we had such a weapon" Rosalind said dreamily
"Don't wish because the dark Lord would've wiped out all of you.....rather than drop that poison like confetti "

I turned back and there was a confused Rosalind....

"Which reminds me.....how do your really kill a warrior??"I asked
"Run a sword through them!!"
"That's normal.....I'm talking about an immortal Jaibríl warrior"

Rosalind raised both eyebrows...

"I wanna know" I urged
"Okay....aahm....just .....drive something sharp into her heart"
"Huh.....easy!" I exclaimed
"Don't miss....you'll be dead meat before you even blink" Rosalind said with a warm smile
"Oh!....I have no plans of killing a warrior .....I just wanted to know.....because you're all so......aahm"
"Unbreakable??"

I narrowed my eyes and weighed the word...

"Exactly"
"Everyone meets an end" Rosalind said
"Yes they do"....

And I wondered how would mine be
