Arrow nocked. String pulled.
CRACK.
Lightning illuminated the water dragon she was sensing. The spotter saw her the same moment she saw him, except she was ready for him and he was not expecting her.
She released.
By the time the spotter released, her arrow was mid-arc.
Talon moved, dodging the incoming fire.
CRACK. CRACK. CRACK.
Lightning flashed three times in rapid succession, creating a strobe effect. First frame: the arrow buried in the spotter's chest. Second frame: half a body, half ash. Third frame: the rider dissolving beside him.
Serena knew from experience that other Dark Fae nearby would've also just turned into ash. Not all of them, but a good chunk of them. That's how these arrows worked. A cheat code from the Gods that Serena was not going to question.
