Back at the mud hut the girls seem impressed that I managed to kill a fully grown wyvern. I mention that it was kind of easy, it wasn''t very tough. Nothing like other fights I have had. The old elf quickly corrects me. "If you had not hit the nerves near the shoulder it would have continued on its way ignoring you looking for a weaker target. The same would have happened if you had not attacked it soon enough when it hit the ground. It would have gotten up and taken to the air in moments if you delayed."


    "Well, don''t let Nadi delay your recovery." The old elf looks lost for words for once, and I leave with the girls before he can recover. From her last stay here Kira knows all the best foraging places near my hut. While Nadi, Rin and Kira forage I go hunting. I hunt much more efficiently alone, as I can move quicker and I worry less about the safety of the girls. I guess I always worry a bit, but I trust Nadi to tank any opponent until I can get back to help.

    Eventually the branch has formed into a bow. It has stopped visibly moving, but inside the branch I can sense more changes taking place. Not just the outer appearance is being molded into a bow, but the inner structure is changing to optimize the effect of the bow. As an expert bow maker myself I can tell that this will be a true amazing bow. If only I could learn this magic. No doubt the song is instrumental.


    "Would you like to learn?" The old elf has clearly seen my interest. "Can I?" I genuine doubt I will be able to pick up the complex song he has just finished. "Who knows, I have never heard of a human mastering elven magic songs." Sounds like a challenge worth trying.


    I have studied every bow made by the elf. All excellent quality. Just the right level of resistance and toughness. Their draw strength is nothing to scoff at. Every time I can sense the elf''s mana shaping the living wood, but the song is still a mystery. "It is not surprising that you struggle with the song, the song is old elvish and can be difficult for even elves to learn." Now you tell me.
