Taking it off she pulled up her thick hair and tied it off of her neck. Her slender neck exposed to the slight breeze. It helped to cool her down. "Not that I am not grateful for you, Ogun, but why not send someone else to train me? I am greatly honored by your choice but I am not worthy to be trained by someone as mighty as you.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>"You are never worthy if you do not believe you are. Doubt is an unseen enemy that requires confidence to defeat it. If you are confident, then you are worthy of many things." Ogun answered. Ogun's voice was like thunder, deep in the chest. He was a large man though and broad chested, tall and strong. How could he hold any other voice. It was like a lion speaking. "Tomorrow, you will have a different task. There is a city not far from where you are camped. It is a busy and noisy place. You will need to go there and search for a Mambo called Mambo Marie. You will need many items: 2 Ouanga, one of healing and peace and the other for me to bless. You will then need 5 Gris-Gris: One for safe travel, one for protection and cleansing, one for Evil Eye, one for health and the last for Enemy-be-gone. You must have no negative influences while training. You will also need 2 chicken foot charms, one for protection and the other for money and good luck. You must then have the Mambo create a poppet in my honor to place on your altar. Lastly, you must instruct her to go to the local jeweler and create a pendant for you that has my veve.". It was a steep amount of items needed. Ogun reached behind himself and drew a pouch of money, of which he handed to Zeya. He then took her shield and held it flat like a table top. He reached down and grabbed a handful of dirt. He took a deep inhale before he spit into the dirt and began to draw a symbol with the mud formed. When done, he shook the shield to knock the extra dirt off, leaving the symbol of his veve behind. "Upon entering the city, you must hold this in front of you as if you are going to meet an enemy in battle. With this, you will find no resistance. " he explained to Zeya.<br/><br/><br/>(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/4b/VeveOgoun.svg/800px-VeveOgoun.svg.png)
