Prologue

"Dad, I want bow." A kid, barely seven years old told to his middle aged father.

"But why bow? It's weak weapon, and it's nuisance to carry around packages of arrows." Man, roughly fourty years old, answered. He crouched to meet eyes if his dark haired son while scratching his short beard.

"A wizard that was a guest last week spoke about heroes and their legends. None of heroes was an archer."

"Exactly. Bows are only as considered hobby weapon to hunt game. In battles against monsters swords are best, then magic that has high damage output and can be used defensive. Archers can't carry shields, bows can't block strikes and if you run out of arrows then its over." Well dressed father spoke using logic, trying to persuade his similiary dressed son.

"It's possible to create arrows out of mana using same way beginner's do. I tested it, it's hard to let shield separate from hand but string makes it possible. Please don't be angry at me for using your bow while testing the idea." Little kid pulled his pocket out and then stuffed it back, repeating same action while talking.

"Is bow okay?"

"Y-yes. Bow is the same as it was when I took it."

"Bow is fine so don't worry about anything. I have no reason to be angry at you. But regarding archery as your main battle style, we'll call for elven hunter to teach you and since your arrows will be of mana you will need to gain proper magic knowledge so we will hire a mage as well. That means your studying time will become lot longer. Will you be able to manage all of it?" Man placed his hand on shoulder of his son waiting for an answer. The boy pondered a little while before announcing his decision.

"Yes, I'll manage it. It won't be easy but if I want to reach legends I will do it." Boy balled up his fists and looked inside of green eyes of his father. His father smiled and pulled him into hug.

"Great answer my son. With your determination you might actually succeed at your dream. Make house Astem proud."
