Shinon was perched on a high ledge on a mountain, balanced carefully on the cliff face. No human would ever be able to reach him with the aid of flight. The ledge itself was too far up high and away to be of any significant notice to the busting town of Octopus, but it could still get a good view of it.
Right now, Shinon's +anima ability was not activated and his arms were instead grasped on a wooden bow and metal arrow. With deadly accuracy, the thirteen year old aimed his weapon towards the town square, with the malicious intent to kill the humans.
His pale eyes were squinted at the town, and he angled his bow to target a little girl. His index finger and middle finger were hooked around the bow string.
He pulled back, and fired.

Amaranth and Shakaya walked through Octopus, their steps steady and swift. They weren't stopping here; they were merely traveling through on their way to meet with officials from the semi-allied faction of Dignitas. Amaranth heaved a sigh, staring at the ground as he walked. They'd been in Astaria for months now, and hadn't witnessed any shortage of mishaps and incidents. It was growing tiresome; the sooner they could get this meeting done with and return home to Sailand, the better.
He turned back to Shakaya, wanting to make some comment of the sort, only to see that she'd paused a few paces behind him. Her muscles were tense, her eyes angled upwards at something. "Eh?" He'd been about to follow her gaze, when she all at once surged forward and right into a little girl a few feet away.
Amaranth's eyes widened as the child toppled over beneath the larger female's weight. "Shakaya -"
But then he realized why she'd shoved the girl over. An arrow split the air between the woman and the girl, embedding itself in the ground where the child had stood only a second before. His mouth fell agape.
Shakaya whirled in the direction it'd come from. A boy was there, standing on a high ledge with a bow and arrow in his hands. The soldier almost instinctively pulled her circular weapon from beneath her coat - something like a rounded, bladed boomerang - and tossed it towards the boy. Would she be able to hit him at this distance? It was worth a try.

As soon as the arrow left his bow, Shinon knew that it would never hit the girl. For a person, too far to distinguish or recognise at this distance, had shoved the girl out of range. Shinon's gaze hardened at he cursed violently. His skilled fingers were already notching another arrow to his bow, but he was not spared any time to actually shoot.
The rescuer's companion, had tossed some sort of weapon at him which Shinon couldn't identify, was judging from the way it was spinning right in his direction, it definitely wasn't these just for show. With the space of a few seconds, the boy shifted into his +anima and let his arms elongate into a series of white feathers forming angelic wings. Due to his lack of dexterity in his wings, his bow was claimed by gravity and fell from his grasp. But that wasn't his current concern. With aerial agility, Shinon leapt out of the way of the weapon and almost avoided the attack. He had only been a mere seconds too slow and the formidable blades which lined it ripped through a section of his trousers, just barely grazing against his skin.
Who the hell were these goody two shoes who'd decided to stop his fun?
