An Unusually Effective Weapon

An archer's arrow pierces its friendly target
with unprecedented precision
Traveling through the air
on a path of mechanical design
Possessing unique abilities
that transcend science and its defined parameters


The impact of the arrow reverberates throughout
inducing the sort of trepidation that fuels misplaced wrath
Ushering in an era of orchestrated decadence
and aggressive marginalization


Populations are pushed to the periphery of influence
Destined to endure an infringement on their humanity
Coerced and intimidated
by the archer masquerading as a Guardian
