[Training] part of the moving whole

and i'm still waiting for a life that never was

Maybe Deimos wouldn't be able to stand around waiting for an opportunity - he was too big and brawny for that - but maybe Alys could use stealth to her advantage, what with her short stature and her illusions. She certainly thought that was a possibility, anyway, and one that wouldn't have her flinging knives at wildly moving targets. Still, she managed to hit one in the arm, and it even slowed, as though her maiming had truly wounded it.

But it felt like going for the same one was too easy, and she looked around at other options as she readied the next dagger. Some trundled along slowly, others swooped and dove from overhead, but she selected one that moved at a middling speed in a relatively straight line along the ground. When she was sure of her mark, she gave the mental flick of magic that sent the knife soaring - again, to hit off center, but to hit her target.
