 |
|
Aryu looked over the time that he had been gone from the abyss he had not really been hiding but secluding him self from the city. hiding in a house of one of his daughters. He could never say who his favorite was so he spent time in both houses of the family that where not sleeping the time away. His mind traveled back to when he first meet this daughter of his. At the time she was not his daughter but in fact his niece a daughter of one of his family's dear friends. At the time he was running the archery guild it was a chore in and of its self but there was some thing about this one that made him want to teach her him self. His mind wondered back to that time.
~Back in time of training~
The day was not exactly cold but it was not warm by any means havening his cloak warped tightly around him his guild seal showing brightly against the black fabric he wore it all the time. It was showing that he was the leader of the best guild in the city. People would not truly believe him till later but it was and still is. waiting his mind wondered slightly the politics of the city kept his mind busy almost all the time. Aryu shook his head to clear it his thoughts had to be on making this girl the best he could make her.
Looking around he was standing on the edge of the range at his house it was a little bigger then the one at the guild but at the time he could afford anything he wanted and he wanted the best for his own childer as well as the students that he trained by him self. His eyes travels over the targets they where father away then they should be really bows should not shoot that far but yet they did. Looking he found the training targets a little off the range they where straw dummy's that had been battered but still use able they where the best for training they almost look life like so it worked the best to get people used to shooting at others. A smiles spread accost his lips as he watched a young chantra walk to him this would the first student he trained this way the same way he learned it was hard and required a lot of effort to get it right. Being taught by the best was always hard and that is how he was taught
When she got close he smiled at her and welcomed her to his home and showed her the range. "You will be training here till i take you out in the city for a real fight." his tone was not harsh but it did have a note of command to it maybe form running the guild or maybe it was from other battles won by this time. |

Chantra couldn't believe that her uncle Aryu was going to train her. she knew that he was the best Archer in the city and she didn't even have a bow for goodness sake.. though mommy was going to get her a really nice one, her and daddy had promised once she learned not to shot them with arrows.
She looked around the massive archery range, Her eyes all big and glowy. She knew she looked like a kid in a candy store, but well hell, she was standing in front of the Mike tyson of Archery. She just didn't want to gush..or simper and make an ass of herself.
" That is fine, Uncle Aryu. I understand. really I wouldn't trust me on the streets either. but, you watch. I am going to be the best damned archer in the city..well besides you that is" she shut up before she made a bigger ass of herself. She looked up and smiled. She had the practiced bow and was ready to do as he commanded.

Aryu smiled down at Chantra her praise of him was not totally unexpected but it always caught him off guard that was some thing he did not expect ever. Looking down he saw the practice bow she was holding a frown spread accost his lips as he looked closer. It was tattered and unpolished nicks in the arms and the string hung limp unslung a sigh escaped his lips as he looked at it. "You can not use that bow any longer is that understood." speaking much harsher then he had before and maybe more harsh then he wanted he reached down to take it from her he had a bow already that she was going to have to use.
When he had the bow in his hand he then felt how light it was it would hardly get an arrow half way down the range that he had set up let alone stick in to anything. anther sigh as he placed it on the table behind him. "Come over here before we start with shooting you need to learn care for bows and your arrows." as he said this he looks up again she did not have a quiver of arrows any where on her that he could see. reaching to his side he unhooked his quiver and set it on the table as well.
"while you are here you will be sure that your bow is clean and polished what you do out side of here is your own faults." he looked at the table it had an assortment of bows all of them where from his personal stock and all of them he had used at one time. picking up a bow that was meant for someone much more advanced then she is at the moment but it was dirty and in need of a good polishing. "Now i will show you how to care for a bow you will use this one and i will work on yours." he sat down at a clear place in the table becoming her to sit accost from him it did not take her a long time to get the hang of cleaning how ever it did take her a long time to do it. he smiled at her as she struggled with the bow that was almost as big as she was but long bows where always fun to shoot. |

Chan was taken aback by the force in his voice when he demanded that she not use her bow. She bit her tongue. And listen to what he wanted and did as she was asked. Theen when she was brought to the table and saw all the bows there her eyes got all big again. Oh Holy Mickey!!!! He had the bestest ever bows..then he laid his quiver on the table and she knew one day she would have the same nothing would stop her. Then the big letdown. he wanted her to clean!!!She didn't pout but it was a close thing. Her mommy and daddy would not like to know she was cleaning. She was a princess and princess didn't clean!
But this was Uncle Aryu so she would cause she wanted to know everything there was about being an archer. she sat where he asked her to and the bow in front of her was almost as tall as she was but she could shoot it. She could shoot anything. though her parenst didn't believe her her sister did. she and her sister were very close and seemed as if polished and it wasn't.
"Uncle Aryu, when am I gonna shot! I am good really, honest. I am you can ask my sissy. I can kill a bugbear with one shot!" she boasted. she could too.. she didn't mention that sissy shot it first.

Aryu smiled to him self as she sat there telling him that she had killed some thing with one shot he knew that there was part of the story that as missing some where but he did not say anything about it he just worked on her bow t did not take him long to get it clean polished was some thing else but clean it was she worked still on the bow he had given her. "you will get to shoot things as soon as you know how to clean and care for the thing that will save your life. you can not be a good archer if your bow does not reflect it." with a soft smile he looked up at her. "so far you are doing well on your bow but you don't have what it takes to shoot that bow do you?" he was testing her to see if she would be able to figure out what she needed.
slowly he polished her training bow and set it down to let it dry slightly he smiled at it as a slight reflection was beginning to show in it it was getting better. looking up he saw that her bow was almost done as well. "very good Chantra you are getting the hang of this quickly. now every night you need to do this if your here or not. if your bow is not taken care of it wont take care of you. It is the best thing that will save you more then anything else. even still at times you will not have to fight a fight just because you are an archer and they are afraid of use and what we can do to them." he smiled at her and thought back to a fight when they gave up because of his bow he held. |

She listened intently to every word he said and filed it in the back of her mind. She will learn everything he would teach her.
"I had not been taught to clean my weapon, but now that I know, I will do it every night before dawn. " she said making it a solemn vow.
"I can scare people now, I am not without skill, I am very good and I am going to get better!" She said defensively. She know her skills were nothing compared to his, but she was really good for her size and age.
"I am not sure if I can actually shot this bow with any accuracy but I can notch it and draw but the size tells me I do not have the strength to draw it back enough. So you would be right Uncle, I can't shot it..for now."She looked up and smiled sweetly at her uncle, and went back to clean the awesome bow.

Aryu smiled to him self as she went back to cleaning he was taking his time cleaning this way both would finish the same time and it had worked he said nothing the rest of the cleaning when both bows where shinny and ready for use he stood up again and examen the bow in the moon light holding out his hand to her "May i see your bow now please make sure that its done." she handed it to him with out a second thought he looked over it and it was in fact done right and maybe looked better then the one he had done.
"Now you know how to clean your weapons i have told you why you need to it is up to you to do it. as for shooting this bow your quite right you don't have the strength to shoot it yet. you will in time for now your going to work with a short bow elven made it should soot you quite nicely for right now." he picked it up from the table it was one of the first bows he had ever used and it had worked the best for him for a long time as he learned on his own. "but still you don't have what it takes to shoot this bow, but none the less if you don't see you are unable to use it lets go down to the dummy's over there and you can try it out."
A smile slide accost his lips as he showed her the way his quiver lay on the table still again he looked her over he did not see one hanging anywhere she could get to it. A soft sigh as he was not going to tell her that she needed arrows to shoot a bow. |

Chantra Eyed her uncle mischievously, she grabbed the bow he had indicated and and correctly slung it over her shoulder. She moved toward the target dummy indicated. she smirked to herself and then added to for her uncles benefit..
" That is good Uncle! I would love to try." she stopped to what seem to ponder for a minute. and then she unslung the bow and reached into her jacket. she pulled out a 4 arrows. and placed them head first into the ground.
she pulled one out and notched it to the bow. the bow was extremely tight. but she was sure she would be able to use it.
she looked turned to look at her uncle."is there a distance requirement that you require, Uncle?"
