Muse: Na'Toth
Fandom: Babylon 5
Counselor Shu'Toth slowly come in a training hall, observing for young Narns who have been keen comprehending knowledges of ancient martial art named as 'tokti'. There was a woman near to him , whose face has been hidden under a hood of a red coat.
Two visitors silently observed of training some time, and only the voice of master and noise of bodies falling on sand broke silence in a hall.
" Who from these children is your daughter, Shu'Toth? " - the woman has asked, at last, having leaned on a stone parapet .
Counselor narrowed scarlet eyes, looking at teenagers who attacked each other with loud battle cries and pointed at girl, who just has been knocked down by neat blow in a head.
" Here is she. Ouh!"
He gasped, having seen, that his daughter sits on the ground some time, having put a hand on a nape.
The master has stopped training and stepped to Narn girl, looking at her strictly.
The girl, having noticed teacher's approaching, was quickly got up.
The old Narn has touched her head, examining a graze, then sniffed and slapped her on a shoulder, having told abruptly:
" Nothing serious. Henceforth you will be more attentive, Na'Toth. "
He noticed visitors and added, not changing tone of a voice.
" Training is ended for today ".
The rumble of disappointment has sounded in a hall, but there and then broken, when the old teacher has looked at his pupils.
Na'Toth nodded, still not noticing her father, because she stood, having turned a back to him, and asked loudly, addressing to the teacher.
" Master, when you allow us to train with the real swords? We wave with these pieces of wood almost year. "
The woman grinned, having looked on Shu'Toth.
" Your daughter is rather impatient. "
He sighed, having rolling eyes.
The old Narn moved very quickly, and nobody has had time even to blink, as the girl appeared on the ground again.
He looked down on her and replied quietly.
" When you will learn how to block such attacks, Ms. Impatience. "
Na'Toth jumped on legs and bowed to him respectfully, trying to hide the disappointment reflected in her eyes.
" Aye, master."
She murmured politely and, having turned, stood on a place, having seen the father.
" Dad! Why have you come here?! "
" I only wanted to look at training of my daughter, - Shu'Toth has told, trying to touch her head. - There is blood on your nape, Na'Toth... "
She recoiled from him, having snapped discontentedly.
" I am fine! Stop it, Dad!"
Shu'Toth sighed and looked at the woman, who accompanied him.
" She became such... disrespectful! "
The woman smirked, looking at the girl.
" I think, these are features of age, that's all. "
Shu'Toth turned to the girl again.
" Well, Na'Toth, let to acquaint you with your aunt G'Sa'Lid. Hardly you remember her, you were very small when she visited us last time. "
Girl looked at the hooded woman gloomy, but then politely nodded, welcoming her.
" I am glad to see you, aunt. "
The woman removed a hood and looked at her with a smile.
" Your father wants, that I began to teach you, Na'Toth. And I have agreed, but with one condition. You should agree to this training yourself. It is not interesting for me to train you if you do not want it... "
The girl has looked at her mistrustfully, then turned to the father, having frowned.
" So, what do you want to teach me to? I already have many teachers... "
The woman continued to smile.
" To various things. How to behave, to good manners... And to many other pleasant trifles which could be useful to the well-educated girl from good family. "
The girl has crossed hands on a breast aggressively , having heard these words.
" I would like to warn you at once, aunt, I am going to continue my trainings. I guess, why father has invited you.He wants, you have distracted me from it, but I have the purpose, and I'll achieve it!"
The smile of the aunt became even wider.
" I am glad to hear, you have firm principles in so early age, Na'Toth. Believe me, I am not going to interfere with your training at all. I only want to expand your outlook. In fact the world around you will not consist from one only trainings. Though I agree, that they give you the certain strength and confidence... "
" It is inexcusable to be weak during our restless time, - the girl has answered chilly. - I have many hobbies besides tokti. My outlook is wide enough and I am not the ignoramus at all! "
The woman has burst out laughing.
" Perhaps, will you tell me, what is your purpose, hmm? "
The girl has lifted a chin arrogantly.
" I want to get in military. As well as my cousin and uncle. I want to serve in the Golden Order, but it is necessary to pass serious competition to get there. That is why I should train. This is very prestigious place. "
The woman has nodded reconciliatory, trying to be serious.
" I see. But why space fleet? "
Eyes of Narn girl sparkled.
" Because I can find her there, in space. I know, that chances to meet her are minimal but if I'll sit here, staying idle, this chance will be equal to zero. "
G'Sa'Lid raised an browridge, having looked back on Counselor. Shu'Toth sighed, rubbing the nose bridge.
" Her? "
The girl has shrugged shoulders impatiently.
" Deathwalker. The creature who has killed my grandfather. We have sworn to revenge her, and I am going to do it. Sooner or later. "
The aunt has answered cautiously, continuing to look on her father.
" But unless this woman has not been killed at the end of Dilgar war? Her race has been destroyed, and you can meet her never. "
Na'Toth sniffed.
" Perhaps. But if there is even one chance, I am not going to miss it. And now, I am sorry, I should go. I have some affairs demanding my presence. "
G'Sa'Lid and Shu'Toth looked after girl some time. Then aunt has burst out laughing again.
" What ambitions! "
Shu'Toth taken a deep breath.
" So, will you teach her? She as though was mad about these trainings, and I start to be afraid for her. "
The woman has looked at him having blinked the eyes
" You should be proud of your daughter, Shu'Toth. Our world requires brave warriors. "
" Yes, it so, but... Na'Toth has very changed after death of grandfather. The revenge has taken hold of all her aspirations. "
G'Sa'Lid became serious.
" The girl is pleasant to me. I want to teach her. It will be uneasy, because she has strong will. But the more interesting process. I love challenges! "
And she has patted his shoulder.
" Do not worry, Shu'Toth, give me half-year, and you do not recognize your daughter. "
" I do not recognize her already... " - he has murmured, shaking a head...
