Gurrin finished his leg of beef and beckoned for the men to follow. As he led them upstairs, he showed them five rooms. "Each room has four beds, so pick whichever one you wish to stay in." He then made his way into his room along with Mellit. "Good night everyone, try to keep warm" he said as he laid down. Mellit did not take off his swords and a cool breeze blew through the house the entire night.

The leader of the group smiled to himself. this one man is going to take on us all? what a joke but the people who had been in the attack recognized Kray and backed off giving each other fearful glances. The leader of the bandits suddenly launched a fearsome attack slashing wildly at Kray who dodged with ease. “fight back you coward!” the leader yelled. Kray just smiled and in one swift movement, he kicked the axe out of the man’s hands and pined this sword to the man’s neck. “now then, give me your loyalty and the loyalty of your men and I will not kill you,” he said. The leader laughed there is no way this guy will kill me. “go on kill me.” “what a waste of talent. With some real training, you could have become strong.” Without hesitation, Kray swung his sword intent on cutting of the leader’s head but at the last moment, the bandit leader realized Kray was actually going to kill him and ducked out of the way, his eyes wide with shock. “so you do want to live.” Kray said, “well then, I give to the choose once more.” This time the bandit bowed his head in submission. “good, by morning, one of my men will be here to train you all. don’t make the mistake of trying to kill him, you would not be able to and throwing your lives away meaninglessly just seems stupid,” and with that, Kray left heading back toward the village.

Gurrin and Mellit woke up in the middle of the night and couldn't fall asleep, so they decided to train. They each stood up against two huge trees that Mellit had made and began thier assault. They needed to train their physical skills, so they laid their weapons down and began to attack the trees. Gurrin made his attacks at the base of his, throwng out kicks and elbows extremely fast. Every hit took at least six inches out of the twelve foot diameter tree. Mellit decided to take his hits to the top, and began an aerial assault, taking down the branches and making a pile at the base. As Gurrin knocked his tree down, he ran to the other side and picked up his staff. He thrusted it into the ground and kept the tree from falling with a huge mound of sand. As Mellit knowcked his down, he did the same, only making an ice wall. Gurrin and Mellit both made a pushing motion, wind coming out of Mellit's hand and lightning from Gurrin's. The trees were sent flying and landed about seven miles away from the village, near a bandit camp. Gurrin lit the pile of branches that Mellit had made on fire and they both fell asleep next to it.

Alexa, who knew far more than either of her parents had ever realized about stealth tactics, crouched silently. She didn't find it difficult to spot the man who stood with his back to her, aiming at Kirra.
She found it even less difficult to leap, bring him down and quickly, quietly cut his throat before vanishing back into the brush, watching the next target.
Women are nurturers, she could all but hear echoed in her head. That damned neighbour. She'd show them all she was no bloody nurturer.

"Yes," said Vix softly, almost absently. She paused and shook her head. "We won't get anywhere this way, Alex. She could have gone any way out of town."
She looked at her son, and said, "Before we go after Alexa, we need a tracker." Shaking her head, she murmured, "I thought we'd never have to do this again. Alex, we're going to have to go to the mountains. I'm going to need help."

Kray was tired as he left the bandit camp. all he really wanted now was to go back to the village and sleep without any more attacks or surprizes but that was not to be. because he was tired, his sences were not as sharp as they would be, but he did notice something out the corner of his eye flying at him. he wipped out his sword and cut the thing it two. when he looked to see what he had cut in half, he found a tree. i'm getting too tired. my eyes must be playing tricks on me. he thought to himself. as he turned to leave, he felt another object fly by him. he turned again to find a second tree that had landed in between the 2 halves of the first. for a moment he staired then shook his head wanting to think about it no more.
Balon couldn't sleep that night. he was thinking of the day's events over in his head. i can't stay like this. he thought to himself. Kray and the 2 brothers could use powers and he could not. all he had was his skill with a pike and with that only, he could not match anyone. he got out of bed quietly so not the disturbe his sleeping companions and went to the storage room to get his pike. he then jumped the wall of the village. first he slowly swung his pike, staying in one spot, around his body. he began to increace speed until the pike was a blur around him. he stepped out into some movements. simple at first and rapidly grouping complex. soon he was dodging, slashing, and stabbing at a group of unseen enemies all around him. he finally ended after slaming his pike into the ground causing a small crater before lifting the pike into a stance. Balon breathed heavily.
"the front of the pike should be higher, your back elbow should be away from your body, and your stance should be lower." Kray said as he adjusted Balon's stance. "don't stay out too long, the weather at night in the desert can be hazardous."
Balon staired in amazement. he did not see Kray comming. he stared after Kray and smiled slightly to himself. "yea sir."

Naomi was unsure of who was in the mountains, but she was up for any journey they had in mind.

Aura smiled crookedly to herself once she was back in her room. Did her parents really think she hadn't seen their alarm?
She didn't want to tell them about this. She hadn't even told Einon, although they shared most everything.
But there could be no more episodes like what had happened today. From now on, she thought, she had to be in charge. Seventeen years the voice had had to run wild, and that would have to be enough. Starting today, things would change.
She stood at her window and opened it again, and willed the sense of connection to the storm to come back.

Engela nodded, her eyes thoughtful and faraway. "I thought I saw...flashes, of something, in her," she said hesitantly, sounding as though she was revising her thoughts every few words. "But nothing steady - nothing I could work on. I thought I was...imagining-- I didn't think - I didn't know it was so strong...I couldn't feel her. Not at all. I didn't-- I don't like that, Mathias. I've felt that power before, too, but I still don't want it in Aura if it's going to separate her from us that way."

Kray awoke about an hour before dawn. he had a lot on his mind and could sleep no longer. he still had to pick who was going to train and lead the new unit that he just got. the group seemed to mostly use axes so out of the 19, not including himself and Balon, he had a few chooses. Kray got up and left the room for some fresh air. when he got into the hall way, he saw another figure already up.
"Captain! your up early."
"the same could be said for you Tanis."
"im always up early"
"not this early"
"im just not use to the desert heat, thats all. i don't think i'll ever get use to this house."
"good. i have a mission for you. you'll be sleeping under the stars tonight." Kray explained about the bandit camp and gave Tanis a jug of water and he was off.
Balon had not had much sleep. he wanted to get stronger. all he had was his phisical attacks. the night had been passed by training. he had only about 4 hours of sleep. he now rested against the walls of the village. man, i think i over did it. he thought to himself. he could barely move his body. everything felt heavy. i think i just screwed myself over. if bandits attack today, i'll be no use. he smiled at his own uselessness and soon began to laugh. i have always been a burden to Kray. even now i still am. i have to get stronger. he thought to himself.
