Effortlessly, Hanzo let loose five arrows, each one a mere hairs width from the last and each one sticking into the target with a mighty whack.

"Impressive." He slung his bow over his bare shoulder and walked through the grass to retrieve the arrows. "Any chance you can teach me to do that?" you asked, watching him yank each arrow from the straw base.

"Have you ever used a bow before?" He nodded, handing over the tightly wound bow with caution and care.

"I have done once or twice, not that I could reach your kind of expertise." You graciously took the bow from his hands, it fell towards the floor as you held it, the sheer weight was much greater than you had expected, Hanzo laughed and gestured for you to stand in front of the target.

"Show me what you can do first, then we'll take it from there." He carefully watched everything that you did as he handed you an arrow. He kept careful track as you pulled back the string and let loose the first, it flew threw the air at an incredible speed and struck the target, hitting just outside of the middle.

"Not bad." Hanzo walked over, kicked your feet apart and pushed your one shoulder back. "Again." Time and time again he handed you an arrow, watched you fire it and then moved your body around like it was his own personal artists doll.

"Okay, that will be enough." He walked over and lowered the nose of his bow to the floor after what must have been the twentieth or thirtieth arrow. Your arms ached, your back cramped and sweat trickled down your forehead. "Harder than it looks isn't it?" He threw you a towel to pat yourself down with, how could he do that all day and not even break a sweat?

"So are you going to teach me how to do that shot?"

"I just did." He smirked to himself and asked for his friend back.

"Don't give me the nonsense that that's all practise." He shrugged and continued to attack the target with a relentless barrage of arrows.

"If you want to learn something easy, go and find my brother and he can teach you the barbaric art of the sword. But no other weapons come with such grace as this one. Dispatch your enemies leaving nothing less than a wooden shaft, a steel head and some feathers."

"There's a lot about you that we don't know isn't there?"

Hanzo just smiled and unleashed a final barrage, each one carrying the force of thunder.

"More than you will ever know."
