Training in a forest cave

He says "nice shot I am somewhat glad my sister made this bet and lost it because it gave me some freedom before my mothers full plan to sell me to the highest bidder to breed strong daughters for which ever priestess won." He knows if you haven't trained your fists to resist the pain she will be trying to hide the fact her knuckles will be throbing unless it wasn't the first time she trained with rocks or metal targets.

Her fist did hurt a little, but Arasinya had trained in the forest for so long, maybe as long as Xerxan's. She was thinking about how his sister lost that bet; it sounded quite familiar from one of those two girls she knew before. But she didn't have time to think on that now. "Thanks, sometimes it's tough when most tests of strength in my home were mostly for men."

" My sister accepted a bet that she would get an amazon as a slave along with all her wealth while I was the prize which the amazon won by defeating me." He then says " she still used me as a slave, but cultivated my fighting skill while helping me forget some of the laws that was taught to me." He also says " you would of had a more easier life because you would be a daughter of a Matron mother." " That must make it difficult having to sometimes dress as a boy in order to participate in those tests of skill while you always risk getting caught or insulted if you go as you are."

Arasinya was quite surprised when an amazon came to get Xerxan out after she won. Must have been worth it in spite of still being a slave. She raised an eyebrow when her ways of participating in men's events could be easier for a daughter of a matron. "I know that, but I am not like most girls there. I am a tough and determined type to pave the way for women to fight. I'll leave a trail of dropped jaws in my wake like I had no care!"

" She seem more potential and helped take remove the only really mental restriction holding me back."' " I can tell you probbly leave a few broken noses along with the droped jaws especially if they get alittle over zealious in touching." "It seems where we each grew up were almost similar except girls where you grew up aren't aloud alot of freedoms while where I am from the boys have no freedoms with a single mistake will cost them their life."

"Very interesting," said Arasyina as she was listening in on Xerxan's description of the amazon. She would nod in agreement when she heard of how boys and girls lived back in their homes. "There's no doubt about that. I just feel that now is the time for a little change. I mean, it could pave the way for something even bigger." She would go over to pick up a small rock and tossed it in the air before doing a spinning roundhouse to send it crashing to the wall. "By the way, uhhh, did any of your sisters have the same hair as yours and have a bit of muscle by any chance?"

"They do, but they won't travel out this far without a few soldiers to make sure they can bring me in." He also says " There maybe a few other families where the mother favored strength like my own mother did, but I never met any of them." " I haven't met any other drow since I was brought to this area and the amazon who rescued me was attacked and poisoned by an assassin which I killed."

"I see." nodded Arasinya. Looks like they'll have to be on their guard to ensure they won't be caught. "So, this amazon wasn't there for you anymore huh? What do you make of me then? Am I considered for you or for your enemies?"

" If it was before the Amazon I would would of said enemy now I wouldn't consider you an enemy unless you gave me a reason to consider you one." He moves near the fire and gets out some cooking pots and sticks it outside to fill it with raid water then sets it over the fire start it boiling so he can start preparing a meal. He then gets out several trail rations out of his bags and a knife so he can start cuting it into pieces as he prepares to make a stew.

"Good point," said Arasinya as she examined the pots which were going to be used in making stew. "I had no idea you can cook. You must have been out to the wilderness alot to get this much experience."
