Vyse rinsed his face with the cool water from the sink in his washroom. Reaching for a towel as he pressed it into his face to remove the water and the rest of the dirt that hadnt been washed away. Sighing as he looked into the mirror, wondering if the group of people would be enough to battle Dracafrey. Waiting a few minutes in the washroom, looking over the fresh cuts and scraps before he then headed out of his chambers.

Katriana twirled around a little, glancing around at whomever came to stand with her in her group she would be training with, smirking a little when she saw a tight packed group of women standing together chit chatting with one another. She wondered how horrible it would be for the women if they had to spar with one another, there was no way that either one of those ladies would harm their friends. Huffing a little Katriana turned and sat down on the ground, waiting boredly

Vyse walked slowly back to the training grounds. Thinking to himself that hopefully there will be a few exceptional people in the groups that he can offer good positions. Shaking his head as he knew that would be far from now. As he continued to walk through the corridors.
A guard walked up to the large group holding papers in his hands and dressed in a golden ivy coloured armour and a long sword sheathed and tied to his side. His eyes glanced over the bunch as he began to anounce their names waiting a few seconds to hear them say here, or present before he moved to the next name down the list.

Katriana remained seated onto the ground, playing with the folds of her dress a little as she wondered if maybe it wouldn't of been better if she had changed her clothes. It wouldn't of been hard for her, just a simple spell would of changed her outfit easily but Katriana was afraid that if she used magic Vyse would pick it up and send her home. Her ears perked up a little when Katriana heard her name being mentioned "I'm here" she called out towards the guard with the papers in his hands, happy that it wasn't Vyse just yet.

The guard finished going through the entire list in a few minutes. Surprised to see that everyone that was on the list was present. The guard looked over the group closely as he thought of the first thing to do.
"Okay everyone get a partner and get two practise swords. Does anyone here not know what a practise sword is? If you all do go get 1 per person and then stand next to your partner."

Katriana glanced around after she had listened to the guard explaining what they were suppose to do, hmm'ing she overlooked all the people standing around her, it would appear that everyone was already knitting together a little in the centre where all the weapons were but in the distance she saw something vaguely, a girl with long black hair that didn't seem to understand what exactly was going on. Smiling a little Katriana made her way towards the woman and smiled politely at her "want to give this a try?" she asked softly.
Marya had heard of the people that had to reposrt to the castle, when she had done so she had overslept the meeting so wasn't exactly sure what was going on but from the things that were being said all around her she figured it wasn't a good thing. she had talked to some people in a try to find out just what it was they were fighting and all they told her that is was a horrible creature by the name of Dracafrey. no one seemed to know more about it so she hadn't had much luck in finding out what her part in all of this was. Staring at all the people she stood in the distance until someone approached her. She widened her eyes a little as she looked at the female "Er..I'm not sure what's going on" she said softly as she looked around nervously
Katriana chuckled softly as she extended a hand to the woman, motioning towards all the training swords "It's not hard I promise" she said as she looked at the woman still
Marya looked a little uncomfortable at first but when she saw how easy it actually all was she felt more at ease, she wasn't sure if she could trust the woman that had invited her to train with her but she did want to find out why all these people were up and around so she followed the blonde onto the training ground silently, standing ready with the training sword the blonde had handed her

The guard waited for the groups to come back with the training swords for a few minutes. His eyes scanning over the wondering faces of the people he was to instruct.
"Okay good. Now I want you all to begin sparring with your partner. Dont try to injure them, if you get a chance to hit them with your sword, only tap them. None of you are wearing armour, so it will sting. Now begin"
As the guard walked around the groups watching their technics and forms to see what he would have to do next to train them.
Vyse walked through the castle and approached the doorway to the training grounds. Smiling slightly to himself as he saw that things had gotten underway. He moved across the field to each of the guards and began asking them questions about their groups and the individuals of their groups.

Katriana nodded a little when she heard the guard explaining to her what they were suppose to do now, gripping onto the training sword a little she looked at the woman opposite of her "By the way" she started as she took a defensive stance "My name is Katriana" she said with a light smile, examining the woman opposite of herself still
Marya smirked a little "My name is Marya" she said softly as she flicked her black hair back non- chalantly, eyeing the blonde a little skeptically when she saw her tightening the grip on the training sword. Tilting her head to the left a little the black haired woman did the same, preparing for some kind of attack with the sword

As Vyse walked around to each of the groups and talked with the guards giving them instructions on what to do, he watched them for himself as well, hoping to find some possible people to take rolls as commanders or generals for the fight against Dracafrey. Smiling slightly as he scanned the field that was filled with all sorts of men and women. Beginning to wonder of all these if all of them will stay until the end.
The Guard walked amoungst his trainees after he spoke with Vyse. Giving the group pointers on blocking and striking with the sword.

Katriana had unleashed a series of attacks on Marya who had somehow managed to parade all of them. The lithe blonde began to wonder whether the woman was playing fair when she avoided another hit of her training sword. Wiping the sweat off her forehead Katriana took on a defensive stance, letting Marya do the attacking now
Marya had fun evading Katriana's attack, she was at first a little surprised by the blondes speed but she had easily adjusted, parading the attacks with skill and ease the black haired woman grinned when she saw the woman was getting tired a little. She smiled at Katriana when she saw she was taking on a defensive stance now, taking that as her cue to take over the attacking position, pushing her heels into the dirst Marya pushed off into her first attack

Vyse smiled a bit more to himself as he then told the guards if they have any problems call for him. The guards all acknowledged his request as he then disappeared back into the castle.
The gaurd walked amoungst the trainees and watched a few several minutes longer.
"Okay, that is enough of sword play for now. I want you all now to get two buckets of water and fill them so they are no less then a inch below the top rim. Then once you have filled the buckets from the well come back here and grab one of those wooden poles. Now get moving so I can explain the rest when you have both of these tasks complete."
As The guard stared at all the people waiting for them to get the things they needed.

Marya growled lowly when Katriana avoided her attack again, her light eyes flaring slightly as sweat rolled down the sides of her face, her eyes intensely locked onto her opponent when the guard that had put them to work earlier spoke and said the training with swords was over. Marya seemed a little relieved as she put her sword down and dropped it onto the pile where all the other swords were. Grinning a little she walked to Katriana who was sweating more than Marya because of the dress she was wearing and Marya's clothes were light and..not really covering much. Patting Katriana on her back the raven haired woman smiled "you did well" she said softly, nodding her head a little at the blonde as she walked off to get a bucket and a pole like she was told.
Katriana tried her best to avoid Marya's furious attacks, she thought that maybe the woman was seriously trying to attack her so she pushed back as hard as she could without using any magic so she was pretty proud of herself considering that most of her battles were magic related. Wiping the sweat off her forehead while parading one of Marya's attacks the woman felt herself getting tired, her breathing becoming heavier and the dress she was wearing wasn't doing her much good either. Katriana sighed in relief when the guard told them training time was over with the swords. Dropping to her knees Katriana breathed in heavily, wiping the sweat off herself again as she got back up onto her feet after catching some of her breath. Smiling a little she looked at Marya who pat her on the back "Thanks" she replied to her with a tired smile. Her ice blue eyes stayed locked onto Marya for a little while before Katriana turned her attention back onto herself, her dress in particular. Growling a little the woman concentrated herself, a whirl of blue appearing around the lithe woman, ice crystals swirling around in the blue wind, a small light appeared inside of the mini tornado before it died down, the ice crystals falling slowly to the ground, revealing Katriana in a light blue ice like armoured body suit a belt of Ice wrapped loosely around her waist and a pin of ice holding her hair back. Smiling satisfied the woman walked off to get her own bucket of water and a pole

The Guard waited patiently for everone to return with their filled buckets of water and their poles. Grinning slightly as he looked over their curious and confused faces as what they were doing with buckets of water and a pole.
"Now on the pole you have gotten you will see that there are two groves one on either end of the pole."
As he pointed it out on the pole that he had picked up as well.
"The groves are for where the buckets of water will be hanging from. Also you will notice that this pole has a sort of curve near the middle."
As he points it out again before he continued to speak.
"This is will be along your shoulders and behind your neck, as follows."
As the Guard swung the pole around placed it along his shoulder behind his back.
"Now before you do that, all of you put the buckets in a position on the pole so you can lift it. Watch for a demonstration."
As the Guard then swung the pole back around and then slide the pole between two buckets and their handles.
"Easy, now get to it, next comes the more challenging part."

Katriana made it to the guard before Marya had because the raven haired woman had chosen the wrong spot to get her water from, Smirking a little the blonde looked at the guard and listened patiently to what was said and shown before she put the pole through the handle of one of the bucket, sliding it through so it locked into the small carved slot then repeating this with the other bucket as she left it like that, waiting to see what was coming next
Marya grumbled softly when she had to stand in a line to fill her buckets with water, when she finally got them filled up she had to hurry back to the group so she wouldn't miss the explanation. Leaning on the pole a little she listened to the explanation before she hung the buckets onto the pole and lifted it onto her shoulders and arms like they were shown, waiting for the next part

The guard nodded in acknowledgement as everyone was able to complete the simple task easily.
"Okay now, once you have the pole along your shoulders like this woman here."
As he points towards Marya for everyone to see what shes doing.
"I want you all to complete this obstacle test. This dirt path here will lead you. So dont stray from it. Also this test will test the limit of your endurance, balance, strength, and will power. Now the water in the buckets, it must stay in the bucket. If any water falls out of the bucket, more then one inch. You will have to do the obsticle course over again."
His eyes scanning over his troop as he heard them moaning.
"Dont give me that, or I will make it so you can not lose any water from those buckets. Now get Moving!!"
