Lesson Number One

Bellamy was glad her children were so willing to show each other what she showed them. It took a weight off her mind, especially since she couldn’t be everywhere at once, much as she’d like to be. Her daughter would mimic the motions as she explained them, doing her best to mirror them. But, seeing Hay’s tail going back and forth the Leader of Ethne couldn’t help but let out a chuckle. Such a sweet child… Her innocence was something Bellamy wanted to protect. It was something that deserved to be protected. Her gaze softened and, unable to resist, Bells, reached out to nuzzle her daughter’s cheek.

“Good so far, my little one. In battle though, your tail must be still. There are two primary positions that your tail will have in battle. The first is straight out behind you, aligned with your spine. Your tail can act as a rudder, something to help guide you in balance and keep you moving around a little easier. However, there will be situations where that position can be more risky. Keeping your tail out or your ears up can make them seem an appealing target for other creatures that might try to grab them and rip them away from your body. So you can also tuck your tail between your legs to protect it. You also want to keep your ears flattened against your head to protect them throughout the fight. And, perhaps one of the more important ones, you also want to narrow your eyes. This helps protect them from attacks from fang and claw, or if your opponent tries to toss dirt in your face in an effort to blind you. Not all opponents will fight fair.”

It was… a lot of information. But Bellamy was certain that Hay could handle it. Her daughter was very smart after all. Something Bells was sure the girl had gotten from her father.
