Wepwawet’s Arrows – New Magic Item / A to Z Blogging Challenge [W]

Wepwawet's Symbol

[As w does not show up in the Greek or Latin alphabet, we have had to go to Egypt for our deity for today.]

The hunter moved through the morning twilight, as watchful for spirits as he was for the enemy.   His hand reached back for his quiver, his fingers dancing over his arrows.  With a silent prayer to Wepwawet, he drew and released an arrow.

It flew true, finding its mark in the neck of the enemy scout who fell silently.  The hunter quickly closed to make sure the scout was dead. With another prayer to guide the spirit to the lands of the dead, he pulled the arrow free.

Wepwawet’s Arrows

These arrows come in a variety of types, stone, bronze or iron arrow heads on a slender shaft marked with the symbol and hieroglyphs of Wepwawet.  They are always fletched in grey and white.
