Herald of Steel

Alexander carefully inspected the crossbow that Faziz made, then asked, "Have you tried shooting with it?" 


"No, sire, I couldn't manage the time," The man honestly replied.


"Um, then let's go outside for the test," Alexander invited as he was interested in testing out its accuracy and build quality and soon the group was outside the workshop, with Alexander carrying the weapon and Faziz carrying five freshly-made bolts just for the crossbow.


The group moved themselves to a small clearing and quickly chose their target- a cut tree stump, about a meter width and reaching up to Alexander's thigh.


Alexander quickly loaded the crossbow, took aim at a distance of around ten meters, and with trepidation in his heart let loose, the feel of the trigger making him feel like he was a combat sniper, the slight recoil of the crossbow giving Alexander a realistic feel.
