"No, you have much to learn before we try again." Sylwanin says tossing an extremely heavy mace.

Yori catches the mace and almost stumbles as she do so. But she was determined not to be ashamed in front of the other navi, and she lifts it up. Then she waits for instructions.

"You need to be able to wield it without hesitation. Very will, we will try something lighter." Sylwanin says tossing Yori a lighter weapon, one half of duel blade

However Yori lets the other weapon drop, and wields her mace. Her face wears a serious expression.

"If you use the mace now, you will run out of strength quickly, then you will be useless to train." Sylwanin says crossing her arms

Realizing Sylwanin was right, Yori puts the mace down and picks up the other weapon. "Sorry, sensei." apologized Yori.
(sensei means teacher in japanese) Yori is Japanese.

Sylwanin then directs Yori to go after the training dummies for a bit to see what weapon Yori would be best at ((I know what Sensei means ))

Yori struck the training dummy with an up trust and then a down trust. She remembers her brothers training for Ninjutsu until duty took their lives away.
She prefers the Bo but she was willing to learn others. An exception was the Nunchaku.

After a few strokes, Sylwanin decides to toss a staff to see how well she would use it

Yori drops her current weapon and takes the staff. Then she whirls the staff in front of her as deflecting shots, and hit the dummy on the chest area.

"This looks like a much better weapon for you, you seem already familiar with one." Sylwanin says some what impressed but not a lot

Yori explains, "It is similar to a Shinai, made from bamboo, and used for a Japanese martial art called kendo. It is a physically and mentally challenging activity that combines martial arts practices and values with sport-like strenuous physical activity. Me and my brothers were encouraged to learn kendo. But I will obey my new sensai's instructions. Sensai means teacher. I will be more patient."

"This 'kendo' still makes you a novice, the last person to visit that knew 'kendo' was beaten by a mere student of mine." Sylwanin says to Yori

Yori nods, "Okay. I will unlearn what I have learn to learn new skills. Skills of a na'vi warrior." She is determined to be known as Sylwanin's Student.

"It is not about unlearning, but adding to what you already know. a next step if you would." Sylwanin says grabbing a staff and stands next to Yori

Yori wonders what her sensei will be teaching her next, and she waits further instructions, holding the staff in her hand.

Sylwanin gracefully swings the staff around in a very fluid yet speedy manner when she comes to a stop, the practice dummies fell over in pieces.

"The best warriors take years perfecting the arts, I am the only one here who has utilized all methods." Sylwanin says

Yori nods.
Kewo gathers all the avatars and starts training them.

"Since you are good with the staff, we will utilize it more." Sywanin says

Yori holds the staff in front of her, as if ready to fight. She was in a defensive mode.

Sylwanin smiles as she sets up another practice dummy for Yori to go after. Na'tili and some others have finished putting up a barrier around hometree that will petrify anyone trying to enter.

Yori stands at the side of the dummy and hits the dummy's lower body. Then she holds her 'bo' in front of the dummy. Then she raises her arms and swings her arms upwards and away from herself.

"It will take time, and we have plenty of it." Sylwanin says

Post by Tsu´ayo on May 7, 2013 22:56:44 GMT 8
Yori realizes Sylwanin was right and puts her weapon down. Then she looks around the Hometree, and asks, "What kind of defenses did you put, Na'til?"

"A very good one. Any tawtute that try to enter will be petrified and their sky machines torn apart in an instant. If they want to talk, then they can on the other side of the barrier." Na'tili says to Yori

Yori smiles, "That is good. That means we Na'vi are able to leave the Hometree without being petrified? Of course I will only leave if it is absolutely necessary, for my safety." She goes close to the edge, and slowly extends her arm.

"You need to know how to fully use magic, the barrier extends all the way around hometree and the rock it sits on the tawtute in na'vi skin cannot enter either." Na'tili says

Yori makes a mental note not to go through the barrier. She tells Silron'zem and Hunter, "Kindly remind me not to go through the protective barrier when it is up. Lest I get petrified." Hunter caws, and she pets him. She knows fauna of any kind have sixth sense of danger. Not that the barrier is dangerous.
