“Wait, let’s stop for a moment,” Gale said, observing your form. He took a breath and looked at the target. He took his role seriously; the defense of the realm depended on every soldier being prepared and capable. He noticed your stance was slightly off, making it difficult to aim accurately.

Training the new recruits was a significant responsibility for Gale. He knew that properly wielding a bow required discipline and coordination. He wanted to ensure that every soldier could hold their own in a real battle.

“My apologies,” he said with a small sigh, offering a nod of regret. “I’m afraid I let my focus on the mission make me appear too stern. Let’s try this again, shall we?” He proposed, motioning for you to nock another arrow.

He watched silently as you aimed at the target. Recognizing the misalignment in your stance, he stepped forward. “Keep your back straight and your grip firm,” he advised, guiding your posture with professional care. “That’s better. Now fire.”
