"Many work to make sure both of their arms are as strong as another, but for some people who are experienced archers, it is better to focus on that one arm, just like one of mother's arms is stronger because of working with her hammer in the forge." Rarik explained. The siblings placed their bows in a pile and Tinnok, grateful that Akua wanted a different learning lesson, dropped to the ground, folding her legs beneath her.
"My birth weapon was a dagger." She said, tapping the few that lined her belt with a smile. As to Akua's next line of questioning, Tinnok had to take some time to think. "Navre is not exactly a God, he's not mortal like you or I, he is powerful and strong, but not as much as Caiyha or Myri. They call what Navre is, an Alvina. I think if they get old and strong enough Alvina can become Gods, but I am not sure. I do not think Caiyha has a mother, but Myri's mother was named Taloba, you of course know she wasn't always a Goddess and was once just like you, perhaps her mother wasn't very different from our own." She smiled, then pointed her finger up. "Kihala is the Goddess of life. I do not think Dira and her are sisters, but they are very close. I think Kihala visits Dira on Black Rock sometimes."
When Akua tried to make her feel better about missing Tinnok laughed. "You're very smart Akua, it is better to rest than push yourself too hard, that's how you get injured." She pat the ground beside her. "Sure, let's talk more about the Gods."
Though his younger brother annoyed him, Rarik couldn't help but smile when he offered him the club, claiming to not need it anymore. "Then set it down silly, no one's going to take it." He sat down in front of Tinnok and Akua so that the three made a little triangle, Tinnok racking her brain for more information to teach Akua.
"Have you learned about Makutsi, the Goddess of Rain? How about Syna and Leth?" She'd let him tell her what he knew before continuing. It seemed they would have a chance to discuss Siku after all, though the half breed did not relish the idea.
