The Silent Archer

Draven looked at Hannah and thought, "What the fuck am I supposed to do with the kid ?" Hannah stared back at him, her face devoid of emotion.

Draven smiled and extended his hand still wearing the black glove from Ivan, holding the bow forward. "So, do you know how to wield a bow?" he asked.

Hannah, still expressionless, nodded.

Draven thought, "That was a foolish question to ask. She's a Forest Elf. Using a bow is natural." He smiled again. "So, can you teach me how to wield a bow?" he asked. She nodded again.

I'm starting to think maybe she isn't able to speak, Draven thought inwardly. Outwardly, he smiled and grabbed her hand. "Come with me," he said. "Let's go somewhere else."

Draven, holding Hannah's hand, pulled her through the crowd of guests. Hannah looked at the hand of Draven holding her hand , her face still blank.

The scene changed, and they stood outside in a garden filled with trees, far from the party. Draven looked at Hannah and held out the bow. Hannah looked at Draven's outstretched hand.

"Here," Draven said. Hannah shook her head, refusing to take the bow. "You don't want to take it? Why? I thought you were going to teach me how to wield a bow," Draven asked. Hannah nodded.

Draven thought, What the heck? Kid, can't you just say yes or no? I'm starting to get pissed off. Hannah extended her hand. A wood-like bracelet adorned her wrist, but she didn't take the bow from Draven's hand.

A wood-like bracelet adorned her wrist, but she didn't take the bow from Draven's hand. Magical energy began to gather around her hand, and the bracelet transformed into a bow.

Draven looked at her hand, seeing the bow where the bracelet had been. So, you can turn the bow into a bracelet by pouring magical energy into it, he realized. Seeing it more closely made me remember that Aunt Olivia also had a bracelet on her wrist that suddenly disappeared when she gave me the bow. Draven had a flashback about it, and then smiled. "You have one too, I guess. That's why you didn't want mine." Hannah nodded.

Draven looked at her and thought, It's not that surprising that she also has a bow made from the World Tree, since she's still a part of the Elven Royal Family.
