Discovery
One night, when Urus had been out hunting for a specific creature, a four eyed toad, at the behest of a merchant. Sayd to be a toad with four eyes, and one who lives at sea shore since it loves sea water. It is also sayd that it eats mice, and small fish, procreates with normal toads, and the poison glands on its back produce a milky poison that, if consumed by humans gives them visions of future, plus its bones ought to strengthen the vitality.
But since it was spawning time for toads, Urus searched for one in swamps and near ponds and lakes. He had already spent weeks at it and the theyr mating season was passing.
That night Urus had already turned in for the day, it had grown too dark to look for frogs, he was visited by a local Leizy. Leizy, ie. a forest lord, a spirit of a sort that resides and tends to his forest.
That spirit spoke: "Human, what seek you with the frogs in my lands?" Urus knowing of Leizys usually peaceful demeanor: "I seek a four eyed toad." Leizy: "Aaa, you a fool who seeks the future, or a magical strength giving snack?" Urus: "Neither, im on the behalf of one who pays me coin though." Leizy: "Aaa, coin.... yes you humans like shiny things... I like all things, especially old things, and the creaking of toads is much to my liking, its been around to accompany my nights for centurys..." Leizy: "Mind we make a deal? I give you this arrow, it was hidden in the sand, washed ashore from afar, in return.... you leave the toads to creak in peace, and perhaps something extra i might like." Urus: "Sure... how about this. A piece of a ancient oak." Leizy: "Aaa, a piece of old Hernemander, i knew him since sappling, too bad, he grew old and withered away, i thought the insects had eaten him whole and he had returned to earth. But a piece remains, i'd like that. Then we have a deal." Urus: "Indeed we do, mind i sleep the night here, i'll go home tomorrow." Leizy: "Aaa, forest is home to all, i just tend to her when she asks, and she didnt ask you to leave."
Properties
A arrow that warps time. It was forged in the daemon realms, thus it is timeless itself, and dosnt rust or wither. But has also been tempered with foul magics, either by hands of humans or kin slayng daemons.
Its main function is to kill daemons, and any daemon hit with it, suffers aggravated damage, and the arrow pierces theyr bodys with ease.
But its secondary, and also most useful function, is to warp time and reality, it as good asstrikes its target at the same moment it is released from the bow, since it then bends time and reality, it changes unrealistically its travel trajectory and the time it takes to cross the path to its target, to avoid obstacles, parring, being caught and any other obstruction, to forcibly produce the outcome, of the arrow striking the flesh of the target.
Thus shooting at a man with a shield, the arrow would still hit, as if it was shot at him from the sides or rear, avoiding armor and homing in through the gaps in it. A strong luck is best defense against this arrow.
The weaknesses are however, that the strength and penetration depends on the bows strength, and the target it will assault is the one the arrow is pointed at, at the time of release, and the arrow favors fresh flesh. It is unadvised to use it for practice(if one is not practicing on living) or against undead, it may result in a unintended death.
