Arrows Flight

Chapter: 3

When Daniel woke up in the morning, he brewed him self a cup of coffee
and thought hard on how Charlie was so talented in marksmanship, then he remember something his father told him. He strolled over to his mini bookshelf and recovered a book from the 'Magic' section, when he tried to pull it out it got a bit jammed of a mysterious nail, he ignored it for the time being and flipped to the 'Contents' section of the book.

"Chapter one.. blah blah, chapter 5.. summoning chapter 35 ... CENTIANT!" He place the hard cover book on his table next to his hot steaming coffee he flipped to 'Chapter 35' and started reading the amazing secrets his father had collected.

After a while he thought he came with a conclusion, Charlie must have Centiant blood, the Centiant's had excellent accuracy with a bow and were apparently started by a group of wizards that blessed a new born boy with this ability, un-fortunately this blood trait has lost a lot of power during the decades, but obviously not enough.

He still had no proof of Charlie being a Centiant, but after reading a few more pages he found a solution, he could test her blood with grimma petals, these were rare but luckily he sill had some from when he healed a wound few years back.

He was scurrying around his little house when he heard knocking on the door, hmm who could that be? When he went to the door and opened it.

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY! YOUR 19!"
Jewels and Janari, both brother and sister, were holding a cake with large icing imprints "19th BIRTHDAY!" Charlie was behind them and said.

"Hey Daniel, what did your mum get you for your birthday" Daniel shifted from side to side.

"Oh, she me a new bow..." he felt bad for lying to them but he had to. Charlie 's face shined and a smiled appeared on her face.

"That's awesome Daniel! Can we see it?" She was so excited that she was jumping up and down shaking her hands around.

"Uhh, no." She slowed down and frowned. She nodded a bit, Jewels and Janari, mostly called the jjs, were just standing there confused, being the usual sheep they would just follow one of them.

There was an awkward silence that of lasted forever if Charlie didn't break it. "Ok then... let's go to the clearing" They all grunted in agreement and started on the venture to the clearing. On arrival Charlie pulled out a little picnic basket from a satchel that was slung over her shoulder.

She extracted the remains of it and placed it on a blanket that was placed under there feet, she pulled out some fruit and meats with a large smile on her face.

"Well, dig in guys!" She said with her hands together, she smiled as the JJs took the exact same type of apple and chicken leg, taking simultaneous bites, Charlie and Daniel, both on the other side of the picnic basket, looked at each other then back at the creepy brother and sister bond that was going on in front of their eyes.
Daniel grabbed a bit of meat from the massive pile and took a large bite out of the side, he chewed as the tender flavours rushed down his throat.
"Thanks heaps Charlie." She just nodded while stuffing her face with many types of food, she put some apples, orange, bananas, beef, chicken, etc. etc. and it didn't even look like she was chewing, she looked at the others by lifting her eyes us, she slowly started chewing while lifting up another chicken leg to her mouth.
She swallowed her food and spoke up. "So, Daniel, are you going in the tournament tomorrow?"
"No..." Everyone was shocked by this word.
"Why not?!" Charlie stood up and shouted at him.
"Because it's today?" He said back with confusion.
