The arrow had lodged itself firmly in a tree. Even though it was now stuck there, Nina was still shaking with fear, unable to calm down.
Micah furrowed his brows, looking into the depths of the forest. The assailant, realizing their plan had failed, quickly retreated, not wanting to be discovered.
"Are you okay?" Micah asked, his concern evident.
Nina's eyes were wide with shock. The arrow had been aimed directly at her head, clearly intended to kill. Despite the heavy presence of soldiers in the village, someone had still tried to take her life. Who had she angered to such an extent?
"Nina," Micah called again, breaking her out of her daze.
"I'm fine," she replied, though her voice trembled slightly.
Micah released her, and she walked over to the tree, pulling the arrow free. It seemed like an ordinary arrow, giving no clues about its origin.
"You sensed something was wrong earlier, didn't you?" Nina asked, realizing Micah's earlier words had been a warning.
"I felt something off. Thankfully, you weren't hurt," he said.
Nina gripped the arrow tightly, her eyes never leaving Micah. She was deliberating whether to confide in him.
"You look like you have something on your mind," Micah observed. "Is there something you want to ask me?"
Nina nodded. "Do you know why I came to the Yaren territory?"
Micah's expression grew serious. "You haven't explicitly said, so I couldn't know."
"I'm here to find a friend and uncover a secret about myself," Nina admitted.
Micah's eyes darkened. "A secret about yourself? Do you think the Yaren tribe holds the key?"
