Lisbeth trudged down the beach, her boots kicking up sand. She had her bow and quiver strapped to her back, and she carried a large bag containing the rest of the goods she had brought for her mission. It was all quite heavy, and she had to stop frequently to rest.
Her mission was complete, and it was time to return to the portal and head back to Stormbreak. But the day was early yet, and she had some time to kill. She had half-heartedly considered going for a swim, but the last time she had swam in the ocean, she had nearly drowned. She just wasn't strong enough to handle the waves and the undertow.
Frustrated with herself, and feeling that her mission report would be inadequate, she wanted to get some of her aggression out. She hated it when her squad members saw her temper. They always made fun of her for it. Better to get it out now, when no one was around to see it.
She tossed her bag on the ground and pulled her bow from her back. There wasn't much around to practice with, until she spotted a few crabs crawling in the sand. She nocked an arrow and took aim. Her first shot missed, her aim just a bit shaky with her emotional state. She took a deep breath as she drew the second arrow. She aimed down the length of the shaft, holding her breath for a moment, then gently released the bowstring, letting the arrow fly. It shot across the sand and pierced a crab right through its shell.
She grinned. She'd get some practice in, then have a nice seafood lunch waiting for her.
