Desiree beamed at Professor Fergersnout’s compliment. Truth be told, she didn’t consider herself well-read on any kind of history, not like her mum anyway. She just happened to have an affinity for fashion. Out of the corner of her eye, she caught the finger wiggles from Ary and Bryony, She had just enough time to acknowledge them with a smile before the demonstration began.
She watched intently, her bright blue eyes lighting up as Professor Fergersnout’s arrow hit the inner red ring of the target. Wow, she was good at this! Desiree hoped she’d be good at archery like the professor someday. She had no idea how many points that shot was worth, but she was awfully curious about the charms used to make the arrows detect living creatures. What would the arrows do if they came near a person or animal? Suddenly veer off course? Part of her wanted to see what would happen, but she wasn’t going to risk trouble by experimenting.
Okay, so hold the bow in her non-dominant hand, align herself with the target, fit the arrow in the nock, hold the arrow in between three fingers, pull the string back, align the point with the target, and… Somehow Deisree had a feeling that archery wouldn’t be as straightforward as those instructions made to sound. She picked up a bow in her right hand and stood in front of the target. With a little difficulty, she fitted an arrow into the nock and held it between three fingers of her left hand. Taking care to keep her elbow up, she pulled the string back.
Now which one was her dominant eye? She had no idea! She supposed she could try each and see which one was more accurate. Looking through her left eye, she lined up the arrow with the target as best as she could and let go. It hit the target, but only the outermost ring. Still, she was calling that a win!
