Chapter 11: Practice
Summoning the simple bow I had made a day prior, I stared down at it, admiring the sleek curves.
It was, again, rather simple; you could tell it was made from basic wood and grass-rope twine, but there was beauty in simplicity...
Placing an arrow, which was little more than a long, thin, and sharp stick on the bowstring, I raised the bow and drew back, my muscles straining as I tried to pull it all the way back.
Grunting slightly, I aid for one of the trees I had marked, before letting the string go.
With a solid thump the arrow hurtled towards the tree, before splintering against the bark.
However, I grinned as I noticed that, while it hadn't been in the center, I had still hit the tree I aid at.
Summoning another arrow, I shot it again towards the tree, nodding to myself as this ti, it sunk slightly into the bark.
I shot arrows again and again, getting a feel for the bow; it's weight, the required strenght to shoot it, how the arrows flew... everything.
Moving back to stand on the opposite side of the clearing, I continued to repeat my 'drills', targeting different marked trees to try and improve my ability to switch targets.
Maybe it was because I had {Archer I}, but I thought I was doing pretty well all thing considered...
Shooting my last arrow, I panted slightly, stretching my strained muscles and placing the bow back into my inventory.
Grabbing my axe, I chopped down one of the marked trees, getting myself enough wood to craft a new one, as well as so more arrows.
I contemplated getting stone ones, glancing at the boulder that sat outside the clearing.
Pursing my lips, I nodded to myself as I moved towards it, removing a larger stone from my inventory and harvesting so more stones.
I needed to create stone spears for Rhefia and I, which would need these, as well as...
Looking around, my eyes widened as I saw so vines hanging from a tree further out.
Before I could walk out I reminded myself that I was in a hostile environnt; caution was needed.
Checking my surroundings, I crept forwards and severed so vines, grinning as they opened up more, improved recipes for
to use.
Returning to camp after harvesting so more vines and grass, I started crafting so bundles of {Stone Arrows} and a {Stone Spear}
When I was about to place another {Stone Spear} in the queue, I noticed that by crafting the normal one, I could create two 'variants'; {Heavy Stone Spear} and {Short Stone Spear}.
I was puzzled by the short one, before I shrugged; likely I could make it for when our child reaches their teens, or for smaller races in general.
As for the heavier one, considering Rhefia's muscular physique, I think it might be better suited for her; I could always craft another if it was too heavy for her.
It didn't take long for them to finish up, and as I inspected them I started crafting another bow.
{Stone Arrow: Attack Value 4}
{Stone Spear: Attack Value 8}
Taking the spear from my inventory, I noticed that my Attack Value stat looked like [Attack Value: 2 (10)]
So I guess that ans my 'base' value is 2, and it adds the weapons on top of that?
Huh, interesting...
Considering my HP was at 39, mainly because of the {Survivor} skill, I guess that one full attack with this spear would deal 10 HP to ?
I an, that makes the most sense...
Anyways, after crafting the bow and heavy spear, I inspected each, nodding to myself.
{Basic Bow: Attack Value 2x Arrow Value}
{Heavy Stone Spear: Attack Value 14}
Out of curiosity I summoned the heavy spear, almost instantly dropping it as I grunted.
Placing it back in my inventory, I shook my head; of course the 'heavy' spear was heavy, idiot...
Sighing, I turned towards the woods, hoping to see my tall, chocolate skinned Dearkin...
Wife..?
Mate..?
Which one did I view her as?
Was she soone I loved..?
Or were we both just together for mutual benefit; her because she wanted soone to breed, and
so I had soone to rely on?
Pursing my lips, I entered our house, standing beside the small crib, thinking.
I an, last night she had said...
Said...
Blushing, I recalled her saying "I love you...
