The men looked very surprise since they would have never imagined something like that. One of them smiled and got up. "That's amazing, I'm sure we'll win this. Shall we go to practice and decide where we'll be?"
Blaze nodded. "Let's show her where the archers could be, I wanted more opinions about it."

"That'll be great." Vinrainla la said, standing up as well.

They led her to the other side of the mountain, from where they expected the attack to come from. "They'll try to surround us, that's why we think it'd be best if we get most women and children out of here through the tunnels."

"Tunnels are in nowadays." Blaze said nudging Vin.

"Seems like it." Vinrainla said, smiling softly at Blaze before looking around the entire area. "Well you can certainly see a great range of land from this point, and what I can do is send several of my birds in all directions to scout out for the army before we'll be able to see them."

"Okay, that sounds good." One of the archers said. "Most of the people here are hunters and that's why they can handle a bow. Do you know how to shoot?"

Vinrainla nodded her head. "Of course. I've been shooting bows for quite a few centuries now."

"Let's do some practice shots then." The man said and nodded to Blaze. She nodded in return, grimacing and then looked at Vin. "Since I suck at swordmanship, I'll have to help with shooting. I'll need help with that."

"I can surely help you then." Vinrainla said toward the man with a smile.

Blaze raised her hand. "I'll need help too." She added. "We might need an intensive class because there are others here who could use a class. Archery 101." She paused, guessing none of them would understand what she had said. "I mean... hurray, let's go."

Vinrainla nodded slowly. "Yeah, lets go already."

Blaze and the rest headed towards an open area where they could practice, passing Ryoran in their way there. He smiled and waved at Vin.

Vinrainla returned the smile and continued to follow the others.

(I finally arrived at our cabin in Arkansas, and my dad is being very strict on my phone use x-x so except long waits for my replies xD)

(It's fine! Take your time )

When they reached the place, Blaze was handed a bow. She looked at it as if she didn't know what was such a thing. "Uhhh How does one hold this thing?"

Vinrainla sighed then walked right next to her. "Are you left or right handed?"

"Right handed." Blaze replied as she watched the other archers put their bows in position, trying to imitate what they were doing.

"Well that makes it so much simpliler. It's quite easy actually." Vinrainla said as she formed her hand to the proper position on the bow. "All you do is keep a tight grip and keep your arm straight."

Blaze focused on positioning her hands correctly and tried shooting an arrow but instead of hitting the bull's eye, it almost hit a soldier. "Oops sorry!"

Vinrainla chuckled then started to give Blaze instructions on how to aim better, and how to quickly set the bow in the right place on the bow string.

Blaze nodded and tried again, it wasn't a perfect shot but at least it was where it was supposed to hit. "I can throw knifes but arrows drive me crazy." She said smiling. "Thanks or helping me out!"

Vinrainla smiled. "Just keep on practicing and maybe you'll get a perfect shot."
