Remember that next time.".  Ogun stepped outside of the tent and waited for the girl to follow. There was a saber and a shield waiting outside for her. The first part of her training was running. Zeya would have to go for a run each morning, as a warrior had to be able to endure. It was possible that Zeya would encounter hostility on her way, wether from beast or man, so she had to run armed. It would be her first test at defending herself and she had better do it well depending on what enemy came to meet her. Ogun smoked on his cigar while waiting for Zeya. It was early morning, and she moved slowly. That would have to be fixed so that she could mobilize just upon smelling the scent of Ogun's cigars.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div>She bowed her head in shame. "I am sorry, Ogun. I did not realize the situation. I did not recognize you. I will remember." Great, the first time in meeting the Orisha and she already made a fool of herself. Right. No time to dwell on that. She had things to get to. Like being trained by the great Ogun himself. She immediately followed after him and glanced at the saber and shield. She didn't know what she was to do but she stepped forward and took the shield in her left and the saber in her right. Her arms were not weak but she knew she would have to strengthen her arms in order to wield the things for a long time. She turned to Ogun and awaited her orders.
