In the crowd stood a tall woman dressed all in greys today. Grey hair, grey eyes, grey robes... today it was hard to tell where Myr's hair stopped it's long flow against the grey robes, only the lighter shade of her hair giving it away. Her mages robes occasionally glistened with a magical rune if one knew what to look for, and her glaive was resting in one hand, pole end resting lightly on the ground, blade end reaching just above her own height of 5'11.
Myr sized up the girl that had just passed the gauntlet, 'Strong, but not overly skilled' was her personal assessment.
Stepping forward Myr placed herself in easy view of the mayor clearly awaiting permission to approach and attempt the gauntlet. She was a polite soul and would wait for the other to be dismissed.

The Mayor shook his head and scratched his chin "No theres no prize Miss, You simply get to accompany the others" He tried to smile but he was exhausted. He looked around. ABout to call for one final challenger when he noticed a woman dressed in grey standing before him. "Here to try the gauntlet ma'am?" he asked

Justin stuck the sword into it's sheath on his back and sighed. With Myren stopping, he had noone to duel. He pulled around his brown pouch which was attached to his belt and unfastened the cord and pulled out some salted pork which he had stolen from a vendor in town. Tearing off a small piece, he returned the rest and promptly popped the meat into his mouth, chewing slowly to make it last.

Myren turned around. "Sorry Justin. there'll be plenty of oppurtunities for you to show me you sword skills on the road..." He paused and scartched his chin. "How bouts you and I run a little competition. Out of you and me we'll see who can kill the most of them beasties" He grinned. "What say you?"

Justin frowned a bit. He had yet to encounted the majoratory of the different variations of creature outside the city. He had been traveling in different locations and not here. After a few moments, he nodded curtly. "Alright." he muttered.

Ender smiled kindly at the tall man before her. He distrusted her she knew, but he had no reason, well not yet she thought. "So you specialize in the sword do you?" She looked at the one they call Justin, they were of the same age she guessed.

Justin nodded curtly, his red hair falling infront of his sapphire blue eyes. Sighing, he replace the pouch by his side and scratched the back of his head curiously. Turning back to look at the girl, he asked her: "What about you?"

Myr nodded her head fractionally. "I am called Myr." She said and stepped up to the gauntlet. A whispered word and her warding spells were active. She lightly flipped over the first blade and dodged the second as easily. From there on it was a matter of weaving and dodging, nothing but a grey seeming blur as she finished the course. Standing at the other end it apeared she was not even winded despite the acrobatics she had used to get through the course.
"That was interesting." She stated aloud, though it was unlikely anyone else would have noticed there was an ever so slight hitch in her wors that indicated she was more winded than was apparent, but only someone who knew her well could have caught that slightest of pauses, and no one knew her well.

The Mayor was in hysterics when Myr returned "It's supoosed to be HARD" He mumbled to himself. "Congratulations Myr" He called out over the croud. "I believe Myren and the others are that way somewhere." He pointed for her. Grinning half hearted he watched her go. He then turned to the croud and called "AND I WILL PRESENT OUR CHAMPIONS IN A MOMENT!!" He turned to the boy beside him. "Go get them for me will you?" The boy nodded and ran off.
Myren watched as another women clothed in grey approached. His senses were back normal now but when he saw the women in grey he saw things he would rather not have. Good but somewhat questionable intentions and... something else. He shook his head and waved to her. When the girl began to talk to Justin he looked sideways at her, watching for any suspicious behaviour.

Myr nodded soflty to the mayor, her hearing easily catching the 'hard' comment. As she turned away a slight smile curved her lips upwards, approaching the rest of the group she allowed the fraction of a smile to stay, it was more polite seeming that her normal expressionless face anyway.
"I am called Myr." She said by way of introduction as she stopped and looked over the rest of the group gathered there. "A motley assortment are we." She added true mirth returning to her smile though it did not alter by so much as a fraction of an inch.

Myren stepped forward, offering her his hand to shake. "I am Myren, Aye an odd group but hopefully the differences will help us conquor the porblem" He smiled back at her still trying to read her but her conciance was strong so he gace up, guessing she didnt mean any harm.
The Mayor's runner appeared a moment later. "Excuse me heri's and heroines the Mayor wishes to introduce you all to the public immediately." He gestured back towards the square and then trotted that way himself.

Zathela returned to the others. "I passed," she said simply, an air of 'man I'm so awesome" about her. "Told ya I would. I'm just brilliant when it comes to everything."

"Don't get confident girl...Much lies ahead" Justin groaned, rolling his eyes. Turning to Myren, he asked: "Shall we had back to the square?"

Myren also rolled his eyes he knew she was bragging. "Yes we shall." He replied to Justin before gesturing to the others. "Come the road ahead is long, best get some rinking done before we leave." He chuckled. It would be a long time till he was able to sip a nice mead again.

Justin arched his brow at Myren. Drinking had never been a hobby of his but he felt curtious today. Shrugging, he followed the main group idly.
