Chase the Sun Across the Sky

Noah

The shadow of a dragon moving across the window, painting itself over the floor, and causing Cordelia to stir was enough for Noah to adorn himself with weaponry. He grabbed his bow and his quiver, and stepped out into the crisp spring with an arrow already nocked and ready to fly. He pulled the bow up and drew, the tip of his arrow following the shadow of the dragon before the body disappeared into the sky. The hunter released the breath he had been holding and released the muscles in his shoulder. He kept the arrow nocked, but the string was no longer taught.

Stepping down from the porch of the lodge, the hunter crept along the south edge of the building. His keen eyes searched the grounds and scanned the skies. Eira stirred inside, but he kept her at bay between their bond. He needed her to stay with his wife. Taking a step around the corner, the movement of another person made Noah lift and draw his bow, the arrow releasing quickly and, whistling through the air, it collided with the already flying arrow and cracked it in half, fire igniting and sending the enemy’s assault to the ground nothing but flickering embers. Noah quickly pulled another and rapidly stepped out from the cover of the lodge, ready to release another arrow when—

”Anju?” He suddenly stopped, and then the dragon’s shadow made sense.
