They blessed a sacred arrow with the powers of the woods, which would summon a spirit in times of need, and shot it into the air; whoever found the arrow would find themselves in an adventure of fantastic importance . . .*** [97]*** [129]*** [83]*** [2]*** [49]*** [83]*** [57]*** [22]*** [1] | labelimagesubject |
