I'm sorry that it's taken me so long to add a new chapter of "Marooned on Tashoo". Back in late August the CoVID caught me. I spent over a week dealing with it. This included sleeping up to 18 hours a day. After enduring infusion therapy the amount of sleep decreased by about an hour a day until I finally only needed about 6 hours. During that time, I had no desire to do anything, including uploading a chapter from a story I had completed almost 10 years ago. Anyway, here's a new chapter for you to enjoy.

After the meeting with the Ishoo'se Aka'ny, William and Rora go home to eat lunch. After lunch, William takes Rora outside and starts training Rora in proper sword fighting techniques. William disarms Rora several times causing Rora mental distress because he is bigger, heavier, and stronger than William. Eventually, Rora's oldest friend, Kyna, shows up and laughs at Rora's failures. William decides to show Kyna how little he knows about sword fighting and suggests that Kyna and Rora both attack him, with the expected results. Mu-Naka gives William the results of the decision of the Ishoo'se Aka'ny, after applauding William's abilities with the sword. Later, William learns what he did that caused Tyarza to become so angry with him.
