You kick out at him and spur your horse forward, riding hard up the road. A whistling through the air is the first herald of the arrow. The shot misses your torso and strikes your thigh, forcing a choked yell of pain from your lips.
You keep riding, gritting your teeth against the pain. The arrow has not penetrated too deeply, and shortly after, you are able to dismount and have Drazha treat the wound before once again continuing north.
