The fall

Ikem's demigod transformation brought a surge of power coursing through his veins. His senses heightened, he felt the raw energy of the divine flowing within him. The approaching bird, now a formidable threat, seemed to slow down in his perception as he focused on the imminent clash.

As the bird drew nearer, Ikem released the arrow. It sailed with precision towards its target, only to be met with a breathtaking display. The golden light enveloping the bird dispersed in a mesmerizing dance, reforming into a radiant shield that effortlessly blocked the arrow's path.

'What? It can do that?' Ikem exclaimed, awe and disbelief coloring his voice. Undeterred, he notched another arrow and aimed for the left wing, hoping to outsmart the mysterious creature. Yet, to his amazement the shield dispersed and the left wing, now adorned in the same golden hue, repelled the arrow with ease.
