Caranthir stepped out into the crisp autumn morning, bow slung across his back while he looked around for Avina. A million and one doubts swirling around in his head - what if he wasn't good enough? He had tried to back out, tried to find a polite excuse to bow out of the archery competition - but no. The girl had talked him into this participating and in a fit of madness, he had agreed and had even given up his only excuse, however thin it was.
What if I'm not good enough? But he was good enough. But the fear of failure lingered. He didn't want to humiliate himself. He saw no sign of her, and chose a spot near the water's edge and began polishing his bow. _________________ A path taken is paths forsaken.

Avina had awoken early and slipped out to squeeze in some last minute practice. She wasn't sure how good she'd do in the competition, but she'd only been practicing for three days so who could blame her? She slung the bow she'd borrowed from Caranthir across her back and started walking. She found him by the waters edge, polishing his bow.
"Morning, Caranthir!" She said cheerily, as the sat down next to him.
"Are you read for the tournament?" |

The day was clear and cool, the fall air crisp and the sun shining. All in all, an excellent day for an archery tournament. _________________ Delicious tea, or deadly poison?

"Why not? You're exceptional with a bow. You should do very well today. "
Avina smiled, trying to encourage him. |

"I simply find this whole exercise ridiculous," Caranthir replied. "I simply prefer reading and studying is all." _________________ A path taken is paths forsaken.

"What do you study?" She was genuinely curious now.
She really had no use for books. They were lifeless things that more affluent people kept their noses tucked in. She'd never did figure out what was so interesting about words on a sheet of paper. |

"Why? They're just books. Wouldn't you rather see and do things than sit in a dusty old room and read about them?" |
