Re: BURA #2
The Village folks clapped and cheered.. some of the younger women who did alot of the 'seductive' dances joined in , proving to be quick studies.
The Chief came up to Shadow who sat on the end of a log table, the firelight reflecting off him..This was good day, Shadow, LC.... Much pride for our Village..lessons learned by young ones...
Shadow smiled a bit..alot of lessons handed out... but there is more to teach, and the lessons come hard to those who do not have the heart and head...Doesn't matter
to me any more Chief... If a part of the machine is broken, I'll just throw it away...
The Chief smiles,..Shamans say 'Those who do not help, hurt"
watching the woman dance with Billie he nodded slowly,..Those who hurt.....must be removed...
The Chief Birghtened,..you know this saying!
Its Just like ours Chief he smiled too.
the two young warriors witht he spears arrived..will you throw Now? we have lighed targets in the field
while Billie's dance was coming close to the end.. Shadow walked with the Chief, SI-CO and a few others, they Lit the tail for the Spears with some tar made from certain boles of trees... the older lad fell short of the Target by about 5 yards, but would have been dead on, the targets sat 100 yards.
The Second Lad threw, his was Far. enough, and a mere 3 yards to the left.
I haven't thrown a Javelin since i was at the Academy?.. I'll try the first one to hit the target, and the second , for distance ...
he looked at where he had to throw from, stepped back a good 5 Yards Ran Up and threw.. the spear, isn't a javelin, but it went fairly well, landing to the right of the target, bit a yard insdie the first lad's...Shadow frowned.. but , his final throw was for Distance, as he ran up and Grunted loudly.. the spear travels a good 10 yards past the target, but so 20 rights to the right.
SI-CO threw,, his spear hit the Bottom of the target and stuck hard..
Shadow raised his hands turning to all the Village...You see what SI-CO has done?.... This is a lesson for the whole Village.... Older Warriors, do not be greedy with your secrets..teach your young ones, so all can gain from your skills.... Young ones...listen...learn..to be part of the clan, is everything... do not seek to put yourself above them!
SI-Co said,You threw further then me!
I threw further, becaus ei have some training , but i did not hit the target..you have lot of training, to hit the target... you would have brought down a Largran.. I would have just made them jump.
Immust go Bow. My children and Myself, thank you for your warm welcome, and for remembering Lady.
he waved to Dusk and Shade, Billie and Hemsly as they made thier was to the borrowed shuttle...
