Elizabeth smiled as Red said her named fitted with her hunting gear. she then watched as Red ran with Storm and made a clean jump over the gate. Watching Red closely when she lifted herself and when she pushed down. She nodded and then she was off with Dash, first a bit scared she swallowed hard as the gate came closer. She then felt Dash lift and she did exactly what Red did and landed a perfect landing pulling Dash to stop, before he ran off. She kept on smiling at how well she executed the jump. "Good enough..?"

"Perfect." she said, turning the mare towards the middle of the pasture and letting her take off. The wind going through her hair and brushing against her face as they took off. She heard hooves hitting the ground underneath her and behind her. It was a good time to ride the two horses that enjoyed to be ridden more than anything in the world. Being busy with hunting and teaching, Red had barely enough time to even come near her horses. Red stopped the mare, and looked over at Umbra. "Also, keep the outfit, as a gift from me. Now, for training."

Elizabeth was pleased when Red praised her. Red took off on Storm and she followed her close behind, loving the rush and the way Dash's body moved under her. Red stopped and said she can keep the outfit and they should get to training, Elizabeth nodded and jumped off Dash, surprised at how fast she did that. "What shall we do first?"

Red jumped off of Storm and pulled out an arrow, placing it on the string and letting it fly through the air towards the target. She heard a thud and glanced over to Umbra. Her eyes gleamed and shined for a moment. "First, show me how you would hold your weapon. I want to make sure you are holding it correctly." she said, her voice catching on a teaching-like-manner. If Umbra didn't hold it right and tried to shoot an arrow, her arm would become bruised and hurting from the string connecting with her flesh. No need for that.

Elizabeth looked at how Red was holding the bow and arrow. She then took it from her and held it, not sure how to, she glanced over to Red and she gave her a questioning look and said. "I'm not sure how to hold it, but I'm guessing this is a good start? To learn..."

Red watched as Umbra held the bow. Surprisingly, she was holding it mostly right, but somethings she would have to learn. Walking over to her student, Red put her rough but gentle hands on Umbra's shoulders. "Loosen up your shoulders. If you have your shoulders to tensed up, you'll end up hurting yourself. And you don't want that to happen." she said, then moved onto the arms. Umbra was holding her arms up perfectly. Which amazed Red more than she thought, "Good, your arms aren't to high nor to low. That's good."

Elizabeth watched and did what Red asked her to do, she loosened her shoulders a bit and her arms out perfectly, with an arrow strung this would have been a perfect shot, but she need to learn how to aim first. and where to aim. "Thank you... But how do I aim, when do we shoot with the arrows and where should I aim?"

Red held up her bow, just like Umbra was and right next to her. "To aim, you must look at the target to which you are wanting to have your arrow connect to. Concentrate on that very target..." she said, looking at the target. "Then you pull back on the string." she added. Red pulled back the string, the palm of her hand touching her chin. Red held it there for a few moments, letting Umbra see what she was doing. "And then, once you have your target in place, and you have the arrow in the correct stop. Shoot." As soon as she said shoot, the arrow disappeared into the air and out of sight.

Elizabeth did exactly what Red said and within seconds she perfected the shot, aiming for a little circle on a tree stump, the arrow slowly moved from her hand and flew fast through the air and hit exactly where she wanted it to. "I did it..." She started to jump up and down very excited about what she has done... "What's next?"

Red smiled when she saw the arrow hit its target. Reaching over to one of her saddle bags, Red pulled out a box with a button on it. "Good, now we do moving targets." she said, pushing the button. Instantly, moving targets appeared out of the pasture, moving from side to side and with many holes punctured into their heads and hearts because of Red training. "With moving targets, you want to anticipate when or where they will be. It takes a bit longer to focus but when you have that focus and have that concentration. You will hit your target perfectly." she stated, "Try it Umbra."

Elizabeth took the arrow and suddenly moving targets popped up and started to move from side to side she saw the holes in the heads and hearts, she guessed it was from how good Red was. She then strung the bow and arrow up ready to shoot. She tried to focus but it was hard and the arrow flew from the bow and flew right past the target. She sighed heavily and tried again, again it flew past the target. She let out a grunt, remembering what Red said, she had to focus. She then closed one eye and focused with just the one and she let go of the arrow and it flew through the air and it made a clear shot to the one target between the eyes. She then curtsied in a way of saying you're finally dead, thank you.

Red watched her, watched as Umbra shot the target but missed it at first. Silently, Red watched as her student aimed and tried to shot at the targets again. She smiled when Umbra made the target and gave a bow. Red gave her student a clap, she was learning quickly and it was fast. "Very good. You are a very fast learner my dear Umbra. Something that many of my students haven't been able to do. I admire a student who can learn quickly and be ready to learn such as you."

Elizabeth smiled as her mentor clapped her hands at Beth. She then said that Beth was a fast learner and that her other student's haven't achieve that yet. Beth felt a sense of pride bubbling up inside her. "well thank you, Master. But it was your expertise and patience that help me achieve this success. I am very eager to learn and get out there, start hunting those beasts." Elizabeth could feel the life that rushed out of their bodies by just the way she clenched her hand, she smiled at that thought.

Red gave her student a pat on the shoulder. Squeezing Umbra's shoulder slight, showing her the pride that Red was feeling towards this strange yet fast learning girl. "It is one thing to hunt, another to be hunted. Don't let your guard down, but don't keep it up or you won't find any friend among the real world." she said, remembering how she first was when she first began her hunting career. Now, she didn't have her guard down and she was able to find friends outside of her hunting job. "You want to have friends and enemies."
