Katriana glanced at Marya when the guard pointed to her to show everyone what they were suppose to do. Hmm'ing softly the blonde sank to her knees to lift the pole with the two buckets dangling from it. Putting it onto her shoulders she huffed a little, beginning to walk towards the dirt path slowly careful not to spill any of the water as she walked
Marya glowed in pride of herself as she was pointed out as an example. The raven haired woman straightening her back a little as she saw some of the wandering off already towards the path one of the people was Katriana. Smiling a little the necromancer walked towards the woman sliding up beside her with ease "So what you think of this assignment?" she asked softly
Katriana looked up a little when Marya fell in besides her "I don't know, it depends on the obstacles I guess" she said as she kept her buckets balanced on her shoulders

The guard began to walk along the path part of the way to lead them in the right direction. After walking up a steep hill he had stopped and turned to his troops again.
"Okay from here, you are all on your own. And dont forget that if you spill any of the water in those buckets, you will have to begin from here again. Now for your obsticles, there are tests to test your balance, your problem solving and quick thinking, and strength. These tests will include a maze to test your wits, A log to cross over a river. If you fall you will return here."
Pointing at the near by stream were they would come out if they fell.
"And last a test of strength, you have to walk up stream through a raging river towards the waterfall. After all these tasks are done, you have a long hike back here. And if you think you can cheat by refilling your buckets in the river or at the waterfall. You are mistaken. There is a difference from that water, then water that is in your buckets. Now begin!"

Katriana grumbled a little at what she was being told by the guard, shifting the weight of her bucket a little she started walking down the hill knowing Marya would follow on her own as well, not really wanting that the woman was going to hold her back but she felt like she should see if maybe the woman needed some help, plus Katriana liked the company a little as long as Marya wouldn't slow her down.
Marya tilted her head a little as she listened to what they were suppose to do, smirking a little the necromancer nodded to everthing that was being said before she walked off on her own, falling in besides Katriana again wanting to see how far the blonde would make it without spilling water

The guard nodded and watched everyone of his troops walk down the path towards their first obsticle. Standing on the top of the hill until the people were only specks in the distance before he turned and walked back towards the castle.

Katriana huffed a little when the raven haired woman next to her seemed to be more gracefull with the heavy buckets pressing down onto her shoulders. Gritting her teeth Katriana glared at Marya and then at the first obstacle they had to cross, a log lying over a river
Marya laughed lightly when she saw the look on Katriana's face, grinning a little when she glided over the ground with catlike ellegance. Smirking a little when she saw the river in the distance, walking towards it, taking all the time she needed she balanced her way across the slippery log with expertise.

The Guard walked towards the castle doors, grinning to himself, wondering how many would have to redo all the tests again. Shaking his head he then entered into th castle heading towards the kitchen to get some food.

Marya was about halfway when she came across a very slippery part, her foot sliding away from under her as she tried to regain her balance, leaning the buckets carefully to the other side to keep her balance as she eep'ed softly. Managing barely to regain her balance back onto the slippery log she breathed in slowly, trying to calm her beating heart down as she stepped over the very slippery part and walked the rest of the way with ease. Turning when she stepped onto the save part on the other side of the river looking at the next person that stepped onto the log
Katriana was about to step onto the log when she saw that Marya had reached the other side when someone else slipped in front of her and walked onto the log before Katriana could say something about it. Frowning in minor displeasure she stared at the man on the log, who seemed a little bit to confident about walking across the log that he never saw the slippery part until it was too late. With a loud splash the man landed in the water not to gracefully. Laughing lightly Katriana watched the man being dragged downstream with the river back to the beginning. Taking a deep breath Katriana stepped onto the log, the splash of the man falling into the water had left some of the parts of the log wet and more dangerous. Making a face Katriana stepped over a wet spot carefully, using the buckets to keep her balance as she put one foot in front of the other, stepping over all the slippery parts carefully as she made it across the river

The guard entered the kitchen, grabbing a bit food and putting it on a plate, and grabbing a large cup Ice cold water. Sitting down by a window smirking as he saw several people climbing out of the river.
"Well shows them for rushing."
As he then sat down at the table and began to eat his food.

Katriana smiled a little at Marya when she ravenhaired woman was still laughing loudly about the man that had tried to rush through it all and ended up in the river. Giggling a little she motioned for the necromancer to come with her to the next obstacle they would have to overcome.
Marya laughed and laughed and laughed when the man had fallen into the water, wiping at her eyes that had started tearing from all the laughter she tried not to spill any of the water in the buckets. Taking deep breaths as she tried to stop laughing as much, her stomach hurting a little from the laughing as she slowly started to stop, still taking deep breaths as she felt her jaw hurting. Finally stopping with her laughing as she followed Katriana again who motioned for her to follow

The Guard continued eating his food, once and a while hearing cursing from the river, from the people failing at the obstacles. Sighing slightly wondering how long it will take for the first person to arrive back. Shrugging it off the Guard left the kitchen and went to report to Vyse.
Kael was the last one to cross the log, that now had completely gotten covered in water. Making it even more challenging now then it first was. Kael walked one foot in front of the other perfectly, not losing his footing or his balance along the way. Easily making it to the other side as he then went into a light jog down the dirt path, passing several people along the way as he headed for the next challenge.

Marya hummed softly as she skipped along the road Katriana following behind her slowly and on her own tempo. The buckets didn't weigh so heavy on Marya's shoulders just yet but she knew that if the road would be as long as she thought it would be then by the end of the day she'd be exhausted. Glancing over her shoulder she looked at Katriana who seemed to be taking her time to walk through
Katriana took her time walking over the path, she had enough trouble holding the buckets of water let alone keep her eyes on the road to make sure she wouldn't fall. The blonde wanted to save her energy for as long as she could in case something difficult might come up and she'd need all the will power she has to complete it.

Kael jogged passed the girls along the path as they closed in on their next obstacle. "The Maze" Smiling at the girls as he ran by and headed down to the opening of the maze to begin his next trial.

Marya eeked when Kael ran past her, cringing slightly when she recognised the archer she had met in the forest. grumbling a little the necromancer fell into pace with Katriana whispering to the woman "I don't like him much"
Katriana smiled politely at the man that ran past her and Marya, figuring that he was eager to complete these tests. Frowning lightly when Marya whispered something to her "Why? he seems polite enough" she said as she looked at the man in the distance "Maybe we can solve whatever things wrong between you and him by asking if he wants to walk with us?" the lithe blonde suggested as she walked on.
Marya made a face "No thank you" she started as she shifted the weight of the buckets of water a little "he's not the friendly type believe me" she muttered as she walked on as well.
Katriana laughed lightly "I'm sure he's only impolite to you" she said as she quickened her steps a little, wanting to catch up with the man now

kael stopped as he approached the maze, staring in astonishment of how high it was. After a few minutes of staring at the maze he walked slowly into the maze, beginning to wonder if its more then just find the exit..

Katriana hummed softly to herself as she walked on with the buckets not bothering her anymore. She had gotten used to the weight onto her shoulders and the pain had subsided some already. Smiling to herself she glanced at Marya who was looking rather reluctant still about the blondes idea to ask Kael to join them. as she walked Katriana saw something massive rise in the distance, squinting her eyes a little she walked a little quicker, standing in front of the entrance of a huge maze. the smile fading from her lips a little as she looked at the maze before wandering in
Marya huffed softly when she saw the maze, it didn't look all that hard to her, all they had to do was keep in mind which way they had gone already.
