Dawnika took the wooden object and observed it closely. Still she was unable to understand, all the fuss over a larger piece of wood that replaces a bow and arrow? She held it side ways like a normal bow. "Aiming it is quiet tough when the handle is made on the side of the bow. Maybe I'll stick to arrows, not bolts." With that she aimed it and shot the bolt at a nearby tree. She was way off however because she was aiming the crossbow like a normal bow and the handle was out of place. The bolt flew by her target and wasn't even close to making contact. "I could've shot an apple off a branch from that tree with Kage Ochikochi."
When Alexyana mentions her feelings about being stranded, she was sort of reluctant. "Well it hasn't been even 24 hours since my father and uncle died. I was the last of royal blood in Xenithia until a King is reborn. Although, we have a system for this. Our king is the greatest fighter in all of Xenithia, so to become royal blood is not by birth. To become royal blood, that person must prove they are strong enough to lead. The challenge our king to combat through a ruled system. Practically, the winner is whoever can make their opponent yield. Since my father just died, I am queen of Xenithia, which means I would have just lost my title. That is why I did not stop when you tore open my chest. I called upon my rage to ignore the pain, like my father taught me. Still, I had to yield, or die. Although, should the king die with no heir, and no challenger to take their place, our military general takes charge of the country and becomes King, or in the current case, my best friend Kaylee will become Queen." It was a lot to understand, but she hoped Alexyana understood their system. "However, I did not answer your question. Yes. My people just broke free of war and they needed me. Here I am now, stuck in a world where there is no way back. I will never see Kaylee, Ellise or Nate ever again, and my people have lost their benevolent King and Princess. I just hope that in all of this, Nyx will still watch over me, and my father."
