"Hello?" You said quietly looking around the shooting range not seeing the archer. Walking a couple steps in, you set down your training bag onto the floor.

"Where is he?" you whispered to yourself unzipping your training jacket, setting it with the rest of your things.

"Hello Y/N." the man said in his soothing low voice.

Startled, you turned to face the handsome warrior.
"H-hi." you said smiling to the archer.

"I-i didn't mean to startle you." He said walking over to you."No...your fine." you replied looking away. He cradled your face with his hand, bringing your attention back up to his amber eyes. You looked at the warrior. You noticed his facial expression, you knew he wanted to say something but he held back.

"Let's continue with are training." Hanzo said, dropping his hand to his side and walking over to his powerful bow. "Archery." he continued. "Is an ancient form of protection." the warrior said. He was looking at his bow admiring the details etched into it.

"Let's....Let's go outside." the archer commanded. He took you too an area which you haven't been before. It was distanced pretty well from the furthest building in Gibraltar. He looked back at you. Admiring you just like he did his bow. Fascinated by the trees around you, you didn't notice the archer's stare.

"Were here." he said softly looking away. The area was beautiful. You never knew that this island even have space for this. It was an open patch of trees, with pretty daisies filling up spots on the ground. And a little fresh water river flowing through the area.

"Hanzo. Where did you even find this place?" you said looking at him.

"A story, for a different time." he replied.

"Now, what is your experience with archery?" he asked placing an arrow onto his bow.

"Well." you replied. "I've practiced when i was a child, but never seen to pick it up again." you said to the archer.

He drew back the arrow aiming at a target nearby, hitting dead center.

"Wow."

You said quietly looking at the target then back up to your instructor. He slung the bow onto his back walking away from you.

"Stay here."

He commanded going into the forest. After a couple of minutes he came back with another bow. It was smaller than his, but the perfect size for you. It was made out of wood, ready to be whittled with.

"Here." he said giving you the bow. "Oh!.....And this." he said pulling out a leather band and glove. "May i?" the archer asked holding out his hand. You slung the bow onto your back just like Hanzo did.

"You may."

You responded letting him put the leather band on your left forearm gently.

"This...this is to protect your arm from the string." Hanzo said.

"Now this."

Referring to the glove. "This is so your drawback fingers won't tear and blister." he said gently grabbing your right arm and slipping it on. The leather glove, only covered your thumb, pointer, and middle finger letting the rest free.

"Let's get started." The archer said taking his bow off his back. You followed his movement by doing the same.
