Thuck. Thuck. Thuck. Mork sends a steady beat of arrows into an archery target some 30 metres away. His aim is pretty good but no where near perfect; Most are grouped in the second and third ring off centre to the right.
Nearly every day you can find morrikan here, ever training, ever re calibrating his bow. He strives for the top but target practice can only get you so far. Occasionally he would try the moving targets, but the rope puller hardly ever shows up for work, the lazy hack.
Thuck. Thuck. Thuck. Snap. "GOD DAMMIT!" he bellows at the sky; "i cant believe it, i bought this string yesterday." He crouches on the ground and places his bow infront of him. Pulling out a small knife from his pocket he gives out a soft sigh. He cuts off the old string and places it in his pack, who knows when you need salvage. Mork threads a new string through both sides and ties a knot on one side. He pulls the other side taut, but not too taut as to allow the string to snap with a long draw. When he is content with his work he straps it onto his back.
"Home time" he mutters to no one in particular and heads off home.

Finally Roto was able to try out his new string. He detached his old string and restrung the bow with the new string. There was a glow about him as he did so. He knocked an arrow aimed ath his target and released. There was no extra power to the shot or anything. "It feels like a regular string..." Roto said with dissapoinment. Then he remembered how the sage had twisted the string even while it was pulled taut. Thought flashed through Roto's mind. "What if I..' he said as he drew out another arrow and his knife. Roto proceeded to make a cross cut at the very base of the arrow. He knoced the arrow and place the string directly into the cut. After he knew that the string sat firmly in the notch Roto gave the arrow a twist with his thumb fore and index fingers, the string twisted inside the notch as well. Roto released the arrow and it sped towards the target, but unlike the last arrow it kept spinning as it burrowwed into the straw target mat. Roto Stared at the arrow as it stopped then went to see what it did. As he checked the mat he saw that the tip had almost come out the other side.
"I-Impossible..." Roto said with much disbelief. The mats were 8 inches thick through and through yet his arrow had not been hindered. He lookhed again at the string and knew that this was a great gift to be cherished. He shot a couple more arrows that way till it was dark and headed home. All the while he was thinking of how to ad more twist to the shots. From the shadows the sage, Angra Mainyu, watched with a small smile. "The boy has skill. I can use him." he said to himself and headed to the observatory to continue his experiments.

Roto was angry at his performance on his last mission and vowed to make sure that it wouldn't happen again. "I will not fail again. I will become the best archer in the kingdom." he said as he knocked an arrow and fired his special twist shot. "More spin..." he said and drew another arrow this one had a special tipped head shaped like a drill. "That sage said that this would do it." Roto said remembering Angra Mainyu who he had seen on his way to the range. Roto knocked the arrow and twisted it. The arrow cleanly drilled through the target. "Amazing..." Roto said awed.

Roto was ecstatic about his promotion to the rank of ranger. The queen had old him to work on his accuracy here at the range. "Concentrate." he said to himself as he began a 5 hour long training session.

Zaku watches as the young ranger trained hard to become a higher level. He quickly approached him then waved franticly. "Hi, I'm Zaku." he was young and innocent looking. "Wanna train? I'm still just and archer but someone at a higher level might really help?" he was still grinning widely. "Wadda ya say?"

Roto placed another arrow into the string and prepared his twist shot when he noticed a new archer and a page come onto the range. "Wanna train?" was all he heard from the young archer before he noted the page speak his name. "I am Roto Gun. And if i am not mistaken he just said he was zaku. How may i help you?" roto said as he shouldered his bow and quiver.

The pink haired boy carefully walked to the range, a expression of confusion on his face. Busy arguing with himself. 'Where am I!? Was it a left or a right?! Lost as always Lyric way to go! Hey you can't talk to me that way! SHUDDAPA!' Only glancing slightly to the people training their abilities. He removed the quiver and bow from his back, tying them to his right leg. Slowly taking out a single broad arrow. He got into position, holding the bow with his left hand, pulling the string of his odd looking bow, straight and steady. 'Show them who's bad at things!' He closed his eyes, confident, thinking of the outcome of hitting the center of the target, and let go of the string. The boy opened his eyes. "I didn't even hit the target!?"

Zaku smiled, "did the queen give you message about the misson we are to go on? We are just waiting for one other person." He bit the bottom of his lip as he pulled out his arrow and began aiming for one of the targets. "I'm still not very good, but I'm trying really hard." He stuck out his tonge trying to aim for the target.

As I saw these archers intending to kill each other.
I pulled out my sword, and sliced the range fence in half, are you listening to me!
I need to speak to, Roto and Zaku.
and if no one is going to answer me, dead people will fall on the ground.
and I don't mean me!
now tell me who of you is Roto and who of you is Zaku.

Roto calmly watched the page charge through the gate of the range with his weapon drawn. In a blink his bow was in his hands. As his quiver fell off his shoulder in a rapid motion he drew an arrow and fired at the hilt of the advancing pages weapon knocking it from his hands. In a single motion he let go of his bow and unsheathed his hunting knife, using the movement he closed the gap between himself and the page, and stepped down on the fallen sword. Roto brought his knife to the pages throat. "As i already said i am Roto Gun." he said calmly "As a fellow member of this Kingdom i will not kill you but please calm down as this courtesy will not be extended again." he said sheathing his knife and kicking the sword into the air,catching it hilt first, and returning it to the hotheaded page.

Thoroughly annoyed at the interruption of is practice Roto once more shouldered his items and left the range. He looked around trying to decide as to where he should go. "If you still wish to speak to me i will be at the cathedral." he said to the rude page as he walked away.
