Arhok is buried in snow, while outside its mighty walls chaos reigns. The monstrosities called Clorgans, concocted by long dead wizards, have escaped. Bear like cretures with dragonic claws and fangs, long wings arch from the backs of these merciless killers and skilled hunters. And the only hero's known powerful enough to save the world from certain destruction have disappeared and left the relm unguarded.
The Mayor of Arhok has prdered a 'guantlet' be built to test the would-be 'hero's' that reside in Arhok and beyond, with hopes that the hero(s) capable of saving the relm might appear and save the world from the clutches of the evil. It is in Arhok's town square that ou hourney begins....

The mayor stood in the town square before a large croud all heavily robed against the cold. Begind him was a large contraption of deadly traps. Rings of fire, blades and hammers and spikes all in a deadly sequence. THe mayor would raise his voice over the croud to call for silence.
"SILENCE!!!" When all was quiet he said loudly vapour rising from his mouth as he spoke. "Behind me lies the 'guantlet of hero's'" He gestured behind him. "The hero's here today BRAVE enough to survive this test will go out and do, by whatever means neccisary, two tasks. Firsty they will find our lost leaders and bring them back to safety in whatever town is closest. Secondly they must stop the hord of Clorgans and seal the rift that spawns them!" He stood aside so all could see the full extent of the course. "Who will go first!?" he called scanning the croud of armed Arannians of different species.

Myren looked around the crowd most of which where subsrantially shorter then him. When no one moved he sighed and called out in his booming voice. "I will face your deathtrap!"
Silence spread rapidly across the square as Myren stepped forward from the croud, to stand before the mayor. Murmurs rose up silently he heard a few of them but ignored them, seeing as most of them where racist.
"Very well..." Said the mayor lowering his head and gesturing towards the obstacles. "good luck" He murmured.

Justin gazed at the person who had shouted they'll attempt the Gauntlet. He looks a bit...ill-trained for this challenge he murmured to himself. He was standing a few meters from the challenger, and he could feel the intensite of the crowds gaze focused on the half-giant. Sure he looks strong enough, but strength is but one attribute. He needs wit...cunning...agility...This'll be intresting. Justin shook in the cold. His blue silver-striped shorts provided him with agility but he froze in the cold and refused to wear anything else. His blue linen shirt worn, torn and mended with crude thread. his black sash accross his chest diagonally framed with rectangular plates and it connected to a sheathed sword on his back. the red fabric handle gleamed slightly in the light. On his head was a brown hat with a bit of metal covering his ears and a crude pair of goggles, although he never wore them he liked the appearence of them. His red hair pluming behind him. only fourteen, Justin had had his share of adventure in the world, and he was prepared to accept this. It's called playing the field he told himself mentally. He can reveal the traps for me...Easy pickings...

Myren stepped forward to wards the gauntlet his mind itched with the presence of many eyes watching him. His keen ears caught the whisper of one dwarf not far away. "He's as good as dead." Myren contained a chuckle he would show them all what he was made for.
Myren stopped as the gauntlet lay before him. He turned to face the crowd a moment before he stood forward. Part of his mind shrieked and he leaped into the air as a large rounded and deadly sharp blade cut up from the floor. His leap brought him over the blade. Instantly as he landed he rolled another blade slashing up from the snow again. He laughed outright. cunning. He thought to himself as he walked on through the maze of traps.
A hissing noise met his ears and instinctively he brought up his shield the flame issuing from the nozzle at the side of the wall to be stopped by his well crafted shield. On he went dodging trap after trap. His 'sixth sense' warned him a moment too late of the Pitt below him. He fell. A gasp filled the crowd. "and... thats it.." Sighed the Mayor but as he turned to ask for another challenger the crowd gasped again. One mighty brown hand had grabbed the side of the Pitt and had hauled the mighty figure back up from the hole "Wont beat me that easy Mayor!" He called over the awed crowd. On Myren stumbled till finally the traps ceased and the course was gone leaving Myren standing in empty air at the other end.
"My word!" Cried the Mayor who began clapping frantically. "WE HAVE OUR FIRST HERO!!" He cried joyously "WHO WISHES TO JOIN MY FRIEND HERE?" he called over the crowds loud cheers.

Justin, who had been looking down and timing the sounds of the blades shing in his mind, looked up steadily. He put his hand behind his back and drew out his longsword and began to step through the croud towards the location the mayor stood, the croud parting before him, some jeering him at his young age, the others trying to stop him. "There's someone over here!" someone near him cried, pointing franticaly at Justin. Raising his head higher and his sword swinging steadily with his strides in his hand, he drew closer and closer to the Mayor.

The mayor turned to the sound of someone calling. He nearly laughed, surely not this boy? He would rather have as few deaths as possible. "Ah, You sure boy?" he asked slightly stuttering
Myren eyed the boy closely and met his eyes. His mind raced with emotions. Wow... that boy is powerful thought Myren smiling. "Let 'I'm go sir!" He called to the mayor folding his arms and grinning "Let him prove his worth."

Justin locked his blue eyes with the half giant, cold awareness in his eyes. Suddenly, as he head the cry the half has issued, his heart flightened with excitement. Finally...Someone who finds this amusing Gazing back to the Mayor expectantly, he leant on his longsword, waiting for permission to venture forth into the Gauntlet.

The mayor looked from Myren to the boy. "I... i suppose i will allow it" He gestured to the guantlet and stepped aside.
Myren grinned and watched the boy. Good luck lad, not that you'll need it He said telepathically to the boy, expecting to startle him.

Justin froze in his step and his gaze snapped sideways at the Giant. Did what he think happen just happen? He had experienced intrusion into his mind once but it was brief, like that, but different...this one was cold and clear-cut to him. Turning his head he gazed cooly at the Half-Giant before turning back to the Gauntlet. Standing straight, he heaved his longsword out of the ground and began to walk down the path. He heard the shing before the he saw the blade come up, Instinctivly, he leapt up, narrowly missing the sword from below and swung his sword around to it. The sword in the ground was firm and the hit with his sword had givin Justin the propulsion he needed to leap forwards. Rolling as he hit the ground, he used his sword to swiftly bring himself to his feet. Standing straight, he looked back and saw he dodged one of the other swords without reaise it. Bending down to pick up his sword, he realised he made a mistake. A sword hole was right next to his foot and the shing began to sound. he leapt forwards, hat in his right hand and sword in his left hand, but didn't escape unscathed. The sword cut the side of his leg, tearing cloth and causing a small cut. "Brilliant..." he murmured to himself. Picking himself off the ground, he leapt forwards, using his sword as a pole as he began to duck and dodge the multiple obsticles. He ducked one blade elegantly and hit the ground, the end of the path in sight, he sprinted forwards and threw his sword along the ground, causing it to stop just above a hole. A blade spat itself up under the sword, but the weight of the longsword was enough to slow the trap's acsension and Justing leapt far enoough to evade it. The Londsword span in the air as it was thrown up by the trap and the fourteen year old caught it as the traps fell silent. Standing up, he scratched his red flowing hair agitated. Would have been more impressive if i didn't get nicked... he scolded himself.

The whole crowd remained silent for many moments. A single clap sounded across the silent square. Myren grinned and was clapping loudly. Soon everyone joined in whistling and cheering. "Well done!" Cried the mayor and he clapped the boy ont he back. "Go stand over there with Myren" he pointed and turned back to the crowd "ANYONE ELSE!?" He called across the crowd.
Myren turned to the boy and offered a large hand "Well done" He mumbled smiling slightly his eyes staring admiringly. "The noise right? That's how you knew where the blade was" He smiled coversations of tactics and reactions excited him.

Justin stood statles as he reached to the half-giant. Thanking him, embarrassed. "Yes...my ears were always the quickest part of my senses...My mouth is the slowest" he said, smiling, his face red. mentally he remembered his experiences on the road, chatting to the girls when his mouth went random and blurted out random things, he snickered silently and took his hand away from the giant. "I owe alot of my...passing... to yourself sire. You did exceptionally well...i almost doubted your physique" Justin said, grinning.

Myren laughed and looked again at the boy. "Ah, but i didnt use my agility or ears as you boy, my mind aids me in many things." He stared again at the boy wondering if the boy held more secrets then his mind surrendered. "I am Myren, and who be you? If we are to travel together we may as well get to know each other" He held out his hand again looking breifly over to see if anyone had yet volunteered so far, there was none. "And concerning your doubts, many out there doubted me i merely gained pleasure out of proving them wrong."He looked at the blood runnign along the boys leg. "I think you missed" He grinned looking over to the mayor. "We're going to the forge, will be back in a moment." The Mayor nodded in reply and Myren gestured for the boy to follow

Justin was too slow to even answer any of the questions, and soon found himself standing alon as Myren walkd through the thick snow. Hastily, he followed the friendly Half-Giant down the path around the croud. "My name is Justin. Why are we going to the forge?" he finished questioningly. He was new to this town, and his dark attitude had been lifted as swiftly as sun breaking through rain. Wearing a broad grin on his face, he sheathed the sword onto his back and continued to follow, his brown shoes slightly damp and the blood from his shin trickling over the shin armour he had on.
