《The Huntress and the Demon》Chapter 16: Training II
Advertisement
Arick and Jyl were once again at the corner of the village, though alone this time.
Jyl was holding her bow, a basket of arrows tipped with sand bags on the ground next to her. She put one on her bowstring, causing Arick to back away.
"You're not going to shoot those at me, are you?"
"Evade", was the response he got, immediately followed by the sharp sound of an arrow flying at him.
He quickly stepped sideways, only barely in time.
Before he could further question her teaching methods, more arrows were fired in his direction.
Though she only aimed at his limbs, he could barely keep up, being hit more and more often. As a demon his body was a bit stronger than any human, but that didn't seem to help him at all.
He had to both keep an eye on the arrows and his surroundings in order to determine how to evade. It got even more difficult when she started shortening the interval between shots.
What was she trying to accomplish with this? The whole thing frustrated Arick.
His thoughts had distracted him, and by the time he noticed an arrow was aimed at his chest.
On instinct he opened his wings and pushed off.
Hovering two meters above the ground, he wondered if she would stop now. Humans were unable to fly, so she would likely forbid him from doing so.
Instead, when he looked at her, a smile was present on her face.
And two more arrows were headed his way.
Silently cursing, he manoeuvered through the air, avoiding them with more ease than he had before. He was faster when flying after all.
Jyl kept shooting, making it more and more difficult for him to manoeuver. She trying to force him down, he realized.

Utilizing all the tricks he knew, he ducked and weaved through the waves of arrows. She was very good at this, though, forcing him into corners, pushing him down.
He grit his teeth and persevered.
About half an hour later she finally let up. Arick was spent, his wings felt sore.
"That was definitely an improvement", Jyl said, "But why did you not fly from the beginning? You are so much faster in the sky."
"Was I allowed to? Humans do not have wings after all."
She furrowed her brows. "So what? The flying beasts will not obediently sit on the ground when fighting land-bound beasts either. You have wings, use them."
Arick smiled. He really did like the way she thought.
"Now then, let us head to the forest, you have more training to do."
But he wished she would be a bit more merciful as a teacher.

BladeMage
Arenya Azural, a dragon-blooded farmer from a small town in the middle of nowhere, always dreamed of being a great hero, battling demons and monsters as a force of magic and power. Now her dream has a chance to become reality - she's a new student at Ba'al Cedric's Academy of Adventurers, a university for warrriors and heroes to learn to battle against the surprisingly amicable demon armies of the neighboring country in an endless war nobody really remembers the point of by now. She's also a BladeMage - an exceedingly rare and exceedingly difficult dual class that few have ever managed to succeed in, but those who have gain immense power. Arenya has a long road ahead of her, with rival students, duels with demons, and a host of benchmarks she must pass in order to keep her scholarship. Will she make it to level 100 and beyond, or die too many times and be forced to return home, tail (literally) between her legs to a life of farming and dreaming of adventure? BladeMage is a LitRPG with a lighter focus on stats. It features battles, leveling up, giant monsters, a bit of fanservice, and more. [Update: The LitRPG elements are proving themselves relatively unimportant as I continue to write. They may be dropped entirely, in which case I will change the prior chapters as well as update this description.] Content warnings: As a story featuring lots of fighting, there will be blood and death. However, since characters rarely die permanently, this will not be a hyperviolent story with extreme gore for the sake of it. Some sexual content and fanservice may be included, but this should remain firmly at the PG-13 level and there will be no sexual violence of any kind. The Cover: Someone suggested that I should have a dragon girl with a miniskirt on the cover. I can't draw and I don't know who to ask or commission, so a few minutes in the GNU Image Manipulation Program and the masterful cover above was created! Please feel free to use your imagination to see a gorgeous half-dragon with azure hair, wings, and a tail, holding a lightning-infused sword while fighting demons.

Creature Feature: InGen Hybrids
The fossil record is obviously incomplete, which means InGen's experiments with the hybridisation of various prehistoric creatures are probably not over. With that in mind, this guide is likely incomplete. But if you're writing Jurassic Park or Jurassic World fanfiction, or stories told within that pretty awesome universe, then any of the creatures found in these fair pages should be considered entirely canon!
