Tiny, baby mini-chapter that was supposed to be part of Saturday’s update. Yay, mid-week updates!! 

Thank you so much for your support guys <3 I hope you enjoy Beka trying to teach Yuri a medieval variant of some martial arts! 

-

“What am I doing wrong?” He huffs, hauling himself to his feet and waving away the hand that Beka offers him.

“You’re concentrating too hard on the swing,” Beka says. “You need the stability to support it. Concentrate on the position of your left leg.”

“Basically you’re kicking too high and overbalancing yourself.” Roza adds, and Yuri rolls his eyes at her.

“What happened to ‘good height’?” he grumbles. She shrugs, tucking her chin on the palms of her hands, elbows in the dirt.

“No point in kicking that high if you’re just going to fall on your ass doing it. Why do you think we started with the ones at waist height?”

Yuri steels himself, and takes up position again.

“Alright.” He moves again...

“Left!”

“Lower!”

He falls over.

“Fucking...” Even Beka is smiling now. Yuri sighs. “Is there a way of doing this that will make tomorrow’s ride less painful?”

I forgot I was going to post this and then I saw this week’s fandometrics and decided I wanted to at least TRY and stop Otayuri from slipping off the bottom of the ship list. 

These are my notes on the Widows from Chapter 5 of Thirst for Adventure! I didn’t actually intend to share them at the time of writing so please excuse grammar and spelling mistakes, and my terrible biro handwriting <3 (I usually use a fountain pen because I’m a snob and it makes my handwriting look neat rather than scrabby)

Also worth noting; ‘Russian’ is a loose term, as the Rus were spread through several slavic countries (or areas which we now recognise as separate countries) at the time. 

The book I took these notes from is Russian Myths, a ‘The Legendary Past’ book by Elizabeth Warner. 

Terms worth investigation: 

Vodyanoi

Rusalka

Roditeli (this translates literally as ‘parents’ or ‘ancestors’ which makes it a nightmare to find info on online, sorry) 

Mertuyaki/Zalozhyne (again, these mean ‘ghouls’ and ‘covered up’, respectively, rather than being just a name)

The angst begins (sorry not sorry)

-

It’s the first time Yuri has kissed him in front of Roza.

“Otabek Altin!” She yells, from the campfire, “You disgust me!”

Beka refrains from pointing out that he didn’t technically start it. Nothing, however, can stop him from grinning at Yuri as he slips away, and saying;

“Now that sounds familiar.”

Yuri gapes.

“You did NOT just compare me to Victor.”

~ How do you follow your soul's call for adventure? ~ The craving to get lost amongst Nature, losing our self and troubles temporarily, is a common call of soul that we all heed eventually. As vibrationally, creative beings we are wild, wise spirits at heart; nurtured by the energizing forces of the Earth energy that we are rooted and connected to. It is through this sense of exploration that we regain the trust and power of our instincts; reminding us that we are all innately inventive and intuitive. We easily get sidetracked by the details in our day to day world; yet once we enter the elements, we become instantly united and aware with the knowing that we are a part of something much larger. These proclamations from our inner voice often arrive at the perfect time, to help us let go of our human baggage; forcing us to live in the infinite joy that is our playful, curious self. The piece of us that is eternally whole and able to move through our journey with ease; acknowledging each step along the way as an adventure to be enjoyed! ~ 9/24/2016 #soulcall #thirstforadventure #naturalescape #exploration #instincts #intuitiveinnerself #joyfuljourneys
