Eternum
Eternum’s body was coiled with energy as he crouched behind a low snow bank. His fingers fussed, compressing snow into a crude sphere. His hands were cold, but he didn't care. He held the snowball up, muttering under his breath that this was it. He looked over the edge of a snowbank and found Abraia’s silhouette dashing cheerfully around.
First, the first throw arced high, whistle through the air like missile. It missed, and harmlessly landed in a puff of snow several feet away. The next snowball came together quickly, this one was smoother and heavier. He pushed his weight forward and hurled the ball forward. But again, it missed, this time closer and kicking up a flurry of snow near her feet.
“Almost.” He wouldn’t rest until at least one of these snowballs hit a target, his pride wouldn’t let him.
He zigzagged toward another snowbank, one closer to Abraia’s position, and the snow crunched softly under his boots. He had a better vantage point from here. His confidence returned as he built another snowball.
His arm a blur as it launched the snowball, he rose from his cover just enough. The throw was powerful, but just a little bit off angle. It sailed over Abraia’s shoulder, just barely missing her.
