Marina Wing-Child

Chapter 5

After what happened, Marina could not let go of the feeling like they were being watched by someone unknown to them.

Even if they ran from someone, Jerek was still recovering from almost dying and she had kinds learned how to transfer just about a fraction of her power to him, which was why it glowed silver.

Quickly, Marina took her arrow, which now layed at Jerek's side, and took the bow from his little hand and took aim behind her while halfway turning.

She let the arrow loose and it hit something but she didn't hear a scream.

Marina scrambled to her feet saying "Reina, please stay with my brother, I have to find out who that was watching us."

Reina nodded her head and Marina left them all alone.

She jogged and jogged looking for something, when she saw a small amount of blood there and it looked to have dropped about not half a second ago.

Then she heard something drop and took another arrow from her sheath and aimed.

Marina walked slowly toward the sound and saw that it was the deer she had chased a while ago before bumping her head against a tree.

The deer had eight points on it's antlers which meant that it was not the leader of a pack and her arrow stood out from the middle of it's flank.

It's eyes looked at her and she saw that those eyes were golden, not black like every other ordinary deer eye.

Marina lowered her bow and arrow and went over to it dropping her gear beside her while she knelt next to the deer.

Her mother told her of the time where all deer's used to have golden eyes back in the ancient times and mated with does with black eyes producing the regular deer kind.

But it was rumored that some are immortal and are still living here looking for something and always hiding from hunters.

"Oh the deer with golden eyes, I am sorry about the arrow let me fix it," breathed Marina.

She got to work and freed that arrow and saw with an astonishment, the wound had closed itself up and was healed with not a scar in sight.

Oh my gosh, mother would always tell the stories that she loved about these kinds of deer's but I thought that they were legends!!!, thought Marina still shocked beyond compare.

"Oh, nothing is a legend, when they are all real, my dear," said a soft voice that seem to have came from the deer.

Marina shook her head of the thought and refocused on what is happening now and saw not a deer but a lovely woman in it's place.

The woman had beautiful long flowing golden-brown hair with sky blue eyes that were tinted with gold, sun-kissed golden skin, and was about 6ft 8in.

The woman had on a white dress that went toward her knee caps, parting there toward the grass way past her feet, with golden designs on it with white gloves that went almost toward her shoulders also with golden designs, with thigh high boots and golden designs, her wings were a pure white and glowed in the sun and her single weapon was a sword with about 10 inches of steel in it and a golden hilt.

Her expression was soft yet determined for something but just not knowing what.

"Who are you and what are you doing here?" asked Marina scaredly.

"Don't be afraid of who I am or why I'm here, just worry for those of you who cheer," replied the woman.

"Riddles? Why answer my questions with riddles?" Marina asked.
