[Bronze Woods] Archery Training (Kita Finley)

[Lookos]

The 8th of Summer Kita had been staying with him for a few days. Lookos found that he loved the company of the kelvic. She was becoming quite a good friend in a very short period of time. Living in the woods required a lot of work in some ways. You had to provide all of your own food, you had to ward off wild animals, and you had to shelter from the elements.Though in some ways it was easier than living in the city. You don't have to worry about crime, and thieves, and you get a quiet, peaceful existence. These were the subjects that Lookos thought about while looking into the evening fire. He had just finished his meal, and was thinking about the last few days. Kita had helped him several times to catch game that otherwise would have evaded him. Even this morning she had shot a running deer that Lookos couldn't dream of hitting. "If I could shoot that well life would be a little easier, and I could better defend my camp. he thought to himself.Then turning to Kita he drew out of his thoughts "Kita would you be willing to take some time tomorrow, and teach me some better ways to shoot a longbow?"

The hunting with Lookos had gone quite well. Kita was surprised at the human's skills in hunting. She never knew that a creature that was not an animal could hunt well. Still, he was human and humans could never hunt as well as an animal. Animals knew the secrets of the earth that humans would never know. The company of Lookos was actually was enjoyable for Kita. she was always so afraid of humans but she wasn't scared of Lookos. He was not like other humans he didn't destroy the forest like most humans would and most of all he did not try to capture her for her kelvic nature. He treated her like an equal instead of a lowly animal. It made her happy. She felt like she finally belonged somewhere. She closed her eyes and looked up at the sky. "Where ever you are brothers, I just want you to know that I am okay and taken care of." The thought made her smile. Kita looked over at Lookos. He wanted her to teach him how to shoot a long bow. She was taken aback. A human asking a Kelvic for training? She had never heard of that ever happening. From her experience she had found that humans never asked for help, especially from Kelvics. Kita knew Lookos was different though. He understood animals in a way other humans did not. She smiled at her human companion "I would be honored to." She never thought a day would come where a human would ask her for help. The world truly was an ever changing place. "When ever you would like to train I will be happy to help." The fire warmed Kita's skin as she peered into it. She recalled all the stories Tayn had told her about fire and how it could tell people things. She watched it whip around in the darkness throwing shadows across Lookos, and the dogs' faces. It was haunting but in a comfortable way. She had Lookos and the dogs' companionship. She felt on top of the world. She finally belonged.
