Ally opened her eyes in fear, praying that her friends didn't find out her secret.
The Elf could feel suspicious eyes boring into her back, but she didn't turn to face Rini. She couldn't look her in the eye while lying, it was impossible for her to do.

Niki handed her one of her arrows. " Now try." She said softly before exsamening the arrow and then breaking it in half.

Once more, Ally shut her eyes and drew back the bow with quivering arms. Suddenly, she steadied and her body shot into proper archery form before the arrow was sent whizzing through the air.
The Elf heard it bite into the wooden tree, and she opened her eyes a crack to see where it had hit.

The arrow wized by where Niki sat to about an inch off of the lowest ring of the target. "Thats more like it. No offence but it seems like your useing a spell but that one seemed real. You have to keep both eyes open next time." Niki said before grabbing all the arrows that were stuck in the tree and brought them back.

A nervous laugh escaped Ally's lips. "M-me? A spell? Hahaha.. I-I'm just an Elf. Yeah. Just an E-Elf.." she said in a high-pitched and very unconvincing voice.
With her eyes open, the girl used Rini's arrow and aimed, striking the bullseye again. It took all her power to not scream in frustration, and her gaze immediately went to Rini's slack jaw, hoping that she wouldn't think that Ally had lied to her about her archery skills.

"Well seeing as your better at this than you thought lets make this challangeing." Niki said taking three steps back prepareing her bow and jumpin high into the air. She fliped twice before landing and leaning into a bridge with her arrow still erected, she kicked her legs over so she now stood at her origonal mark and shot. The arrow landed just above where her first had. "Dang! Usually I would have split it!" She said in frustration.

Ally stared, her mouth hanging open. She couldn't do that, was Niki expecting her to try??
Her eyes were wide as she accepted the arrow given and she held it strangely.
"What am I supposed to do?" she asked meekly, forgetting the trick's contents.

"Well something you think can top a duble frunt flip into a bridge kick over. Or you can take this as the joke it was to begain with." Niki said now sitting in the most confertable position she could forage. She cracked her back. "I havent done that in a while. Usually I hurt someone when I try that." Niki said now laying on the ground.

Ally giggled strangely before giving the arrow back to Niki and lying down flat on her stomach.
"This is fun!" she commented with a laugh, pulling a candy bar out of her pocket.

"Ya... it is fun and I can do it less and less thanks to this war." Niki said softly looking up to the skys before speaking again. ""When the night is cold and still When you thought you'd had your fill This is not a test, it's not a drill Take no prisoners, only kill. Thats an halfling training song or at least part of it. Its really sad taht we learn this when we are only nine or ten. But we learn other things too, like to fight with our hearts not our rage and respect. That type of thing." She finnished.
((If you want the rest of the song let me know.))

The Elf stared blankly up at the sky.
"My father taught me how to defend myself. Swordplay and--" Ally stopped herself from saying the word that would unleash her secret. "--things like that. He used to sing to me at night as well.. It was a song about Daith. It kind of.. soothed me."

"hmm. This song was more about remembering we are at war and how to survive. Its called peace maker.
We make all of our suns the same Every one will suffer the fire we've made They all explode just the same And there's no going back on the plans we've LAID
Peacekeeper take your time Wait for the dark of night Soon all the suns will rise Peacekeeper don't tell why Don't be afraid to fight Love is the sweet surprise
Only creatures who are on their way Ever poison their own well But we still have time to hate And there's still something we can sell
Peacekeeper take your time Wait for the dark of night Soon all the suns will rise Peacekeeper don't tell why Don't be afraid to fight Love is the sweet surprise
When the night is cold and still When you thought you'd had your fill Take all the time you will This is not a test, it's not a drill Take no prisoners, (only kill) You know all of our friends are gods And they all tell us how to paint our face But there's only one brush we need It's the one that never leaves a trace
Peacekeeper take your time Wait for the dark of night Soon all the suns will rise Peacekeeper don't tell why Don't be afraid to fight Love is the sweet surprise
Peacekeeper take your time Wait for the dark of night Soon all the suns will rise Peacekeeper don't tell why Don't be afraid to fight Love is the sweet surprise
When the night is cold and still When you thought you'd had your fill This is not a test, it's not a drill Take no prisoners, (only kill)" Her voice rang out like the lonsome howl she called her own.

The Elf fought to blink back tears. "That's beautiful.." she whispered. "So sad.. but beautiful all the same."

"Its the basic skills of war." Niki said before closeing her eyes and letting a single tear fall down her face. She shapeshifted and bayed at the waxing moon. Her song was sad and melencoly yet happy and exsiteing.

Ally simply lay on the grass with her friends, the buzzing of nature clouding her mind and drifting through her head. She felt so small and so worthless in comparison to mighty Daith..
Little did she know that on her journey to finding the truth, she would become on of the most fabled legends in history and help save the majestic planet that she loved so deeply.
((I felt like being traileresque, hehe (=))
