Making a bow

Alfin took a week to reach the peak as it was around thirty kilometers tall which was very amazing and the sight from here was a delicacy to eyes, the mountain range seems endless to him but he made his mind that he would cross this range, he took it as a challenge to himself. But the mountain he was on, was the smallest mountain in this range, this does not demotivate him a little. With a spear on his shoulder he started moving he faced many monsters which became his food at the end.

One year passed and still he was unable to cross one tenth of the mountain range. Right now Alfin was fighting a twenty meter tall bear with his bare fists, as his spear was broken on the first month itself in this range and he was not able to find a suitable weapon for himself because anything he makes out bones of the monsters he kill would break on his next fight with another monster. The next monster he fight would be stronger than the previous. The only reason he was alive because the monsters had low intelligence and also because of his dirty tricks like throwing dirt in the eyes of monster, trying to attack them when they were sleeping or waiting for the fight to end between two monsters, he would attack when one monster has won but is very heavily injured. This type of despicable behavior has kept him alive and was also the reason of putting food on his plate.

The bear was also the winner of its fight with a very big snake whose skull it has crushed but was poisoned by the snake in return, then suddenly Alfin came out of nowhere and started attacking it. Alfin was just making it angry by evading it and throwing stones at it, the reason for that to make the blood of the bear flow fast as the poison will spread faster but he would not be able to eat its meat. He was after the fur of the bear as the winter was coming it would be very helpful and for meat he would eat the snake he was also after the gall of the snake as it would help him become a little immune to the poisons.

Bear was finally poisoned to death after one hour of endless irritation given to it by Alfin. He then collected his spoils, he started the fire nearby only because no monster would come to this area because it was bear's territory he took out the fur from the bear for a coat for himself and the scales of the snake were useful too, to make a armor for himself. After eating he noticed that the snake's bones were perfect for him to make a bow, if he made a bow it will help him fight monsters at long range, if he becomes good at archery he would attack the vitals of the monsters from far to make them weak and then go closer to end the fight.

It took him two days just to make a bow for which he wasted many bones of the snake and for arrow he used claws of the bear he filed them into the shape of the arrow, now he had to practice how to use a bow and arrow. Alfin has never used a bow before so it would take him lot of time to master the bow, he has used tendons of bear monster to make bow string which was very hard to pull but the force it provided to the arrows was devastating. He used tree branches shaped in the form of arrows, and for target he used random trees and drew a circle on then for aiming.

It took him almost fifty shots to actually hit the tree which was not even close to the circle he had drawn but the impact was so strong that the arrow was shattered and the tree got big hole in the area where the arrow hit, if he had used the bear claw arrows the tree would have been destroyed which was five meter in diameter. It took him four days to continuously hit the target without missing which was quite good. Now it was time to practice with moving targets which would be quite difficult.

But using a bow had put him in advantage, now he could stealthily observe a monster from far and strike when the moment was perfect for him. He had also mastered rapid firing now it was time to check it out on monsters, The first unlucky monster Alfin found big fox basking in sun sitting lazily and the distance between them was around four hundred meters. He took out a claw arrow and aimed at the head of the head of the fox and then fired the first arrow and two more in succession. The first arrow hit on point where he aimed that was its head the next hit its right eye and the last hit its mouth going from his upper side and piercing through, the fox did not get even a chance to move and it was dead before it knew. Alfin had a smirk on his face, now it was his time to reign terror on these mountains.
