Noah
if there's a reason I'm still alive
when so many have died
when so many have died
The quip was enough for the demigod to act on instinct alone.
There was no time to hesitate—he dropped low and rolled, a rough and unrefined arc beneath the weapon’s path. He felt the air shift as it sang overhead—a bird of prey on a mission to its mark—just as he had during its original assault. The move wasn’t unlike what Ronin had done to avoid his stag, and any onlookers would see the two had trained together before. Noah was not too proud to take notes from those more experienced than himself.
He came up on one knee, already watching Ronin and preparing for the next move. This time, he answered with a celestial attack. His arms moved back as if drawing a bowstring he knew by heart. Light gathered. Two brilliantly lit arrows formed and launched toward Ronin. He knew the demigod was fast—perhaps the fastest man in Caido—but with luck, he could keep him moving.

then I'm willing to
wait for it
