Chapter 2 - Chapter 2: Secrets

Me and the others have become close friends but I kept my secret closely guarded, not letting them get too close to finding it. In battles such as the eternal night merlin knew the one behind the bow was me but he kept that a secret for my sake which I was happy about. I still feel bad for not telling them the truth but it is for the best. Today I went to talk to the ghost counsel. I went there and started to talk to the counsel but midway though I could hear the others calling my name, panicked since I didn't tell anyone where I was going. I left and pretended to practice with one of the bows there and failing terribly to hit the target. As douxie and Jim ran in they yelled my name which startled me making me let go and the arrow nearly hit archie. 

"oh! Sorry archie!" I said 

"oh! You've been here?" 

"why are you here and using a bow?" 

"I got bored and needed to practice with something just in case you need me guys" I hummed. "I know you guys don't like me joining your missions but I'm just bored helping out blinky and merlin, no offence to them but that's all I do, help them and read and watch merlin use his magic. I just want to get out there and finally help you guys more than just "holding down the Fourt" here." 

"sorry. . . . . .we didn't know you felt that way" 

"yea. . . . . . .we didn't know sorry 'bout that" 

"it's okay guys, I never spoke up so it's okay" 

After that jim and douxie left to leave me alone in the hero's forge. I sighed and pulled out my amulet. 

"For the bane of archers, daylight is mine to shoot" 

As soon as I spoke the incantation blue lights appeared and suddenly flexible, metalic armor attached itself to my body as a dark grey hood appeared over my head and a mix of wood and metal bow appeared in my hand with a quiver on my back. A dark grey mask covered my mouth with a skull mouth pattern on it. 

Suddenly the herosforge activated catching me off guard and my amulet deactivated but luckily fell into my pocket! 

"WHAT THE-HELP!" I yelled both scared and surprised, hoping the others will come. The others heard my yells and instantly ran to the herosforge to see the herosforge's mechanism active and me hanging onto one of the horizontal platforms for dear life. Draal tried to deactivate the heroforge but the button was stuck! 

"the button! Its stuck!" 

"master Jim!" 

"already on it!" 

Jim summoned his armor by speaking his incatation and quickly got to the soothscriya, trying to deactivate it but it didn't work! 

"guys I'm slipping!" 

"it's not working!" 

"master jim! What do you mean it's not working?!" 

"ARG catch her!" 

ARG ran and luckily was able to catch me before I fell. 

"thanks aarrgg"
