The Reunion

As Victorson just closed his eyes, something hit the land just behind his head and the sand exploded a little. Smelling some danger, he quickly rose to his feet. Robojit also got alert.

As they were staring at it, the bird fired another arrow that again hit the ground right near their feet.

Robojit raised his hand to attack back, but Victorson asked him to wait, because he understood that these were just warning shots commanding them not to run. They were not intended to hit them.
