Alcides curving arrows

Hippolyte accelerated her horse and fired her next arrow in silence.
Alkeides deflected it with his bow. The deflected arrow flew forward and tore up a large chunk of asphalt.
The avenger’s massive steed, however, trampled the viscous obstacle as if it were not there and hurtled forward, always forward with all its might.
Alkeides flowed smoothly into a counterattack without stopping the scything motion of his bow.
He nocked three of his own arrows at once and fired them in unison with the acceleration of his horse.
The three arrows tore through the air, each tracing a different trajectory, closing in on Hippolyta from the front, back, and above.
