Hey, so I just wanted to let you all know that the last chapter in case some were a bit confused about it, it was in someone's pov because I wanted to try and show someone's full on pov for the first time, and that so far it's doing really well. I may do it again, but maybe not but I'm not sure, but anyways make sure to review, favorite, and follow and I'll see you in chapter 39.
Back in Kilimanjaro...
9:23pm….
We see that AD was learning how to fight with a bow for he was doing pretty well. Yes he's make a few mistakes but to Rehzi and Sahadev, he barely made two or three mistakes. But they did know that he knows how to use a bow, but not like they can as AD aims for a couple targets while in a tree hiding as he shoots and hits the targets, but gets down as fast as he could and aims for the next three targets as he aims and fires. He hits the targets perfectly as the three of them then get the arrows out and try a different area that was a bit far from the tribe.
AD-''Umm, where are we going?'' He asked.
Sahadev-''There's this secret area in Kilimanjaro that only Rehzi and I know about, it's where I learned how to use a bow in any type of combat. I didn't like how the Archery teachers were teaching us, so I quit and wanted to find a place to learn in peace, and a few weeks later I find this place.'' He said. ''I saw how Rehzi was about to learn from the teachers, and I knew that he'd be really nervous to try and learn in front of others at the time, so decided to bring him along too so that he could learn with someone that he knew.'' He said.
Rehzi-''Once I knew that I was ready, Saha asked me if I wanted to go back and I told him that I did. Once I went back, I wasn't so nervous because I at least knew what I was doing, I didn't think or feel that I would mess up and be made fun of.'' He said. ''I was actually one of the best in the class thanks to Saha, and that I gained a bit more confidence from him.'' He said.
Sahadev-''After about a few weeks, we were pros and that everyone in our tribe asked how we did so well, but we just told them that we had a different style of fighting.'' He said.
AD-''But why not teach everyone else? That way they wouldn't be at a disadvantage.'' He suggested.
Sahadev-''I tired but everyone learns differently, you can't expect people to learn everything you did in the same amount of time or even less as a matter of fact.'' He said. ''Also, everyone has their own style.'' He said.
AD-''So, does Rehzi have your same style of fighting?'' He asked.
Rehzi-''Well no actually, Sahadev only showed me how to use a bow. I went back to the classes so that I could learn to talk to people and so that I would find my own style of fighting.'' He said.
AD-''So, Agrim taught Sahadev the basics, then why did he send Sahadev to those classes anyway?'' He asked.
Sahadev-''Actually, I convinced him since to let me go to the classes since I thought that there was more to learn there. But as I went, I already knew everything they were teaching and I then left and learned my own style of fighting during the day and during the night.'' He said as Sahadev ran a bit ahead to make sure they were there or not since it was a bit dark out, but not that dark.
AD-''Say, why did you guys train me at night, why not in the day time? What made you think I could see like you guys can at night?'' He asked.
Sahadev-''It was to see if you could use a bow at night, and after what we saw you can. But if you wanted to learn in the day time first, we would've done that instead and then train you at night. But if you couldn't see at all, then still we would've trained you in the morning and then at night instead.'' He said. ''Cause if we didn't, and you had to use a bow at night, you wouldn't know how to use it at night if you could still use one or that you'd have trouble with it.'' He said as he saw that they made it. ''Okay AD, I need you to try and shoot that tree from here.'' He said as AD looked over and saw that it was about 200 yards away from him as he aimed and fired, but missed. He tried again, and missed again even though he was closer. He tried about three more times but missed.
AD-''(Sigh)….Okay, any tips as to how I can shoot the tree?'' He asked.
Sahadev-''Sure thing, Try using the moon when the clouds aren't covering it, It'll give you a bit more light to see your targets then when it's blocked by the clouds.'' He said as AD waited until the moon was out and after about two minutes the moon was out as AD aimed and fired and had hit the target. ''Great, now try to hit the target without the moon.'' He said as AD aimed but waited until the clouds blocked the moon again as he fired and had hit the tree, but not the target as he aimed and tired again as he hits the target through the arrow. ''Wow. You learn quickly, okay so now you need to know how to fight with the bow.'' He said.
AD-''Oh okay, but how exactly?'' He asked.
Rehzi-''Learning how to block, use it as a melee weapon, and a few more tricks to attack enemies.'' He said as for the past hour, AD was learning how to block different attacks with the bow. How to block arrows, using it as a sword since they use very, very strong wood and other unknown wood to make these types of bows, how to design bows for fun and for camouflage, and how to make his own arrows for when he runs out and is in the jungles or the forest, also what wood is best for arrows for accuracy including how to design the feathers, and how to replace the arrowhead with a fire crystal or any other type, and how to design the crystals as arrowheads instead of using medal or wood. After about an hour AD fully learned how to use a bow in combat, and how to make them, of course he still wasn't perfect but at least knew how to fight a bit like them. Of course it would take more practice, but at the time being he at least learned a bit about it. Sahadev was also able to get some practice in for himself while he helped AD with Rehzi. They then left to get back to the tribe.
Rehzi-''You did great AD, but there's still a bit more training that we need to go through.'' He said.
AD-''Thanks, I mean if it weren't for you two I wouldn't have the skills but I appreciate it. Also I have to ask, why teach me at night in the first place, like the main reason?'' He asked.
Rehzi-''Simple, precision. If we only taught you during the day, then it would've been a bit too easy since you have light to help you. Learning in the dark takes patients and is a real challenge, But now that you learned how to shoot and fight in the dark, it'll won't be a pain and that you'll be ready at any time now.'' He explained.
AD-''Ohhhhhh okay. But what if it's really cloudy at night and that the moon doesn't come out at all?'' He asked.
Sahadev-''That's why I asked you to shoot the target when the moon is blocked, but with more practice it won't bother you.'' He said as 10 minutes later they make it back to the tribe as Sahadev had went back to weapons department to put back the bows that he got from Wai while AD went to Rehzi's tent to get some sleep. As Rehzi was about to go to his spot since he hasn't been there in a little bit, he saw that Sahadev was back but with his bow still as he wanted to ask why he still had it.
Rehzi-''Hey Saha, why do you still have your bow with you? I thought that Wai would've wanted them all back?'' He asked.
Sahadev-''I thought so too, but he said that I should keep it with me. In case of anything happens to the weapons department, or something else.'' He said.
Rehzi-''Oh, but why not let everyone else keep their bows?'' He asked.
Sahadev-''(Laughs a little) Ironically, I asked him that too, but said that he trusted me with my own bow. Not that he didn't trust others, but says that I have a special bond with my bow.'' He said for he didn't hear a response from Rehzi and saw him thinking about something. ''Rehzi?'' He asked as he snapped out of it.
Rehzi-''Oh, s-sorry about that.'' He said. ''I was just, thinking to myself about something.'' He said as this made him curious.
Sahadev-''What were you thinking about? If you don't wanna say it's okay.'' He said.
Rehzi-''No it's fine, but let's talk in private.'' He said as they went to Sahadev's house as they entered as Rehzi saw the Abaya Scouts asleep on the coaches. ''So, how long are they staying here? Not to sound rude or anything.'' He said.
Sahadev-''Until my dad gets back and that we all talk about if the Abaya region can stay here or not. But I really hope that he does, but I'm sure they'll think of something if he says no.'' He said as they went into Sahadev's room, which had a somewhat wide window, a master bed, a drawer, a wall that had different bows that he used when he was little, a little gazelle plush that his mom made for him when he was a calf, tools to make bows and arrows, a place for him to work out, books about some of the countries in Africa, and his lantern as he closed the door behind him. ''You know, this is the second time we talked in private, I didn't know you had so many secrets. But like I said, if you don't want to its fine.'' He said.
Rehzi-''Like I said Saha, it fine but…(Sigh)…It's about Mihari.'' He said.
Sahadev-''Oh….okay, what about her?'' He asked him.
Rehzi-''I guess I just, miss her a bit. It's not like that but, still I was thinking about her and Hia….and that I hope they're okay.'' He said.
Sahadev-''Oh, well I don't really know her, but if you trust her then I can too. But I still want to learn a little bit about her so that I'll know for sure that she's not a treat without any second thoughts.'' He said.
Rehzi-''Sahadev.'' He said as this got his attention.
Sahadev-''Yeah Rehzi?'' He asked.
Rehzi-''Thank you, for trusting her. I know that you aren't sure about her, but thanks for giving her chance. I really appreciate it.'' He said.
Sahadev-''No problem, (Yawn)..Alright, goodnight man.'' He said.
Rehzi-''Night Saha.'' He said as he opened the door and left as Sahadev turned off his lantern that was on and laid in bed as he thought about what Rehzi said, he thought about it and realized that there was a part of him that didn't quite trust Mihari yet, but knew that one day he can trust her completely, just like Rehzi can as he then fell asleep.
