Almost at the same breath, it hit the archer\u2019s cheekbone and sent him staggering backward. The bow dropped into the dirt. The man\u2019s head jerked up, his eyes wild with alarm. For the first time, he looked straight at Alasdair. Then, he turned and bolted, branches snapping under his feet. Alasdair\u2019s chest heaved once, then he turned back to Lily, who was still crouched low, pale but unharmed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cStay here.\u201d His tone left no room for argument. She found one anyway. Her head snapped up. \u201cWhat are ye doing? Ye\u2019re bleeding.\u201d His hand pressed hard against the wound in his arm, and blood slicked his palm, but he ignored the pain. \u201cForget about me arm.\u201d His voice lowered, now filled with fury. \u201cI am going after the bastard.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He could hear Lily\u2019s shrill scream. He wouldn\u2019t stop hearing it until the man who\u2019d caused it was no longer among the living. It reverberated through the trees and settled in his chest like a blade, but he didn\u2019t stop running. Not now. Not when the archer was only a few yards ahead in his line of sight. Alasdair ran like a man possessed. His sword slammed against his thighs, but he didn\u2019t stop to give it a second thought.<\/p>\n<p>His boots tore at the ground, and his shoulders ripped through branches as he followed the dark figure. He breathed hard, feeling his blood pound in his ears. The smell of pine and fresh air filled his nostrils, and the sky grew darker by the minute. The archer, on the other hand, moved quickly. He slipped between the trees, and his hood brushed the low branches. He turned back once, his eyes sharp and narrowed.<\/p>\n<p>Then, he bent, grabbed a rock, and flung it over his shoulder. Alasdair dipped his head and jumped to the side. The stone thudded into the earth where he had been a breath before. Another log rolled down toward him, but he leapt over it, his teeth clenched. The wound in his arm throbbed with each push forward, but he did not slow down.<\/p>\n<p>Clouds pressed low, swollen with uncertain storms, and the light dimmed even more in the forest. If he didn\u2019t know better, he would think the dark clouds were more than the occasional empty threat brought by Mother Nature herself. The archer darted left, scrambling up a slope, and Alasdair followed, his lungs burning, his body driven by rage. When they reached a clearing, he lunged.<\/p>\n<p>His arms wrapped around the man\u2019s waist, and both of them went crashing down the slope.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Did you know that there is a group where you can chat with me and with thousands of like-minded book-worms all over the globe?

The market was alive with the morning rush. The sun shone brightly overhead, and the scent of meats, fabrics, and fruits mingled in the air.<\/p>\n<p>Her grey shawl was pulled tight around her face, partly to protect her from the sun but also to avoid having to greet even more people than she already did.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><em>This is a short excerpt from the opening of &ldquo;&rdquo; by Unknown, quoted for review and introduction purposes.
