((Time's up v:!))

And so to sleep they all went, eventually.

They were woken up early at the morning, so early that even the rooster didn't sing his terrible melody yet. Moon was down, sun not within a sight, albeit the sky was grey and not dark blue. A group of soldiers then accompanied the mercenaries to a large dining room, where they had a small meal alongside soldiers, who were all wearing uniforms.

And then the training began.

"Today we will be marching all the way to the northern part of the forest, and then my soldiers will stage a mock ambush against you. No worries, they will only have wooden weapons. They road is long, so you better...

It was full of exercise...

"...move, move, MOVE! Higher with those legs! My two little daughters are running faster! In combat you must be quick and agile, because, as my husband likes to say..."

And more exercise...

"...an immobile soldier is dead soldier. I will show you the differences between heavy and light armor, how to exploit them for your benefits. After that, we will move on to specialized weaponry..."

And a little theory. Seven days of training, from early morning to late night. There was marching, and combat practice, and obstacle courses, and mock battles, and tactical deployments, and quite possibly every nuance of combat was covered. Also...

"...it's third time you've collapsed at my obstacle course! What's wrong with you?"

...the whole ordeal was extremely exhausting.

However, the youngsters built a little of physical prowess, not to mention all that knowledge and experience they have been gifted.

((Giving you +1 to CON and +50 to EXP Pool - which means you're all at level 3 now, congratz V: Of course you understand I will try to murder you at very next chapter c:))

A week have passed. Unlike during the training course, it was late morning when the mercenary group was awoken, by no one else than Aaron himself. He gave everyone a slight push, and then woke Sterling up.

"Good morning. I hope you and your six mercenaries had nice sleep, hmm?" ((For clarification; no, Gregor is not here.))

Look at that yawn!

Annie is losing her Mary Sue points rapidly with each new page, and I can't help but feel... happy for that.

The headmaster (come on, you still believe that 'Court' has multi-personal decision board?) knows what he is doing, this way he will have medium on his side, or at least have neutral medium.

Oh, I see what happened. Haspen put the new stats in a totally different block instead of simply overwriting the level 1 stats, and I completely failed to notice the second block. Silly me :P

Yeah, the updated stats are below the base ones, which act as reference in any case when we will have to double check new stats for some reason, so this way we don't have to scour the thread to find the post with someone's starter stats :P

"I see. We will give you all two sleeping rooms in the barracks. No worries, thanks to the continuous bandit and Berebian attacks, we... have lots of empty space in few places. And there will lots of work. Even in gardens, young lady."

And then the tour began. Aaron took the mercenaries everywhere except few restricted places. They've seen gardens, and kitchens, and storage rooms, and barracks, and trianing halls, libraries, armories, even the smallest of rooms were shown to the mercenaries. It took a full hour before the captain took the youngsters to their new 'quarters'.

"You have now time for yourselves. Your training starts from tomorrow's morning. Make sure that all of you get some rest." With that, Aaron nodded, and went on his own way.

((You can RP (just don't take too much time). If you don't have anything to do, go to 'sleep'. Story will progress after everyone goes to 'sleep'. Otherwise, I will push it forward tomorrow's afternoon v:))

"Wonderful. I will see that you will have something to do between training sessions and sleeping. Can I take them down to the barracks, my Lady?" The soldier asked politely and Prixima waved her hand at him, letting out a loud sigh, and then she opened a book, clearly showing she won't be dealing with the mercenaries anytime soon. The man in armor bowed, and then gently led the group out of the study.

"Well, that's it. I can feel natural charisma coming from you, young man, even if you still have to learn your ways around noble ladies. I'm Aaron, Captain of the Kesselring Fortress Guards. Could you introduce your group to me? Gregor I know of, and you must be the 'forest girl' that has been roaming our forests for a while, hmm?" His eyes landed on the face of Charlotte, and then he sent her a charming smile.

27576
"Hmph. That's no good. I could name at least twelve different people or groups that could use herbal poisons. Pores is just outside my county, so I can't really turn it upside down in search for clues... Well, you have no leader, I won't let you take the job, you don't have money I presume, and you have nowhere to go. What I am supposed to do with you?

"Excuse me, Lady Prixima, but may I?" A clear voice suddenly came from behind the mercenaries, and when they would turn around, they would see a man, in full armor, standing completely noiseless - right near the door. For all possibilities, he possibly was there when the mercenaries entered.

"I believe that, my wife and I, and Torres, could give them some training, say, a week or so. And during their stay, they could work in the garden, kitchens and stables, so they wouldn't be completely of a nuisance. After that, you could re-evaluate their strength and I assure you, they will fare much better. What do you say, my Lady?"

There was a brief silence before Prixima waved her hand at the man in the armor, and the mercenaries.

"Fine. I could agree to that. The question is: do they agree?" Both the soldier and the countess turned their looks at the young mercenaries; or to be more precise, at Sterling, from all the people.

27577
A frown twisted the woman's lips, and after a while she let out an annoyed huff, brushing the hair behind her left ear.

"So he is dead. And who are you to speak in that manner to Lady Prixima Kesselring? Do you know your place, little one? Or are you the new leader of the group?" She raised her hand to silence Sterling before he could even respond.

"That's not important. What is important is that not only your group is now bound in contract with me, which means I have to feed you and offer you beds until the contract is finished, but also that I don't think you're suited for the job, which further complicates everything. Tell me of Sarius' death, though. Who poisoned him, and where?"

27578
After the mercenaries, starting with Ami, were placed on the horses, entire unit trotted on the road, up north and east and north-east, toward the Kesselring Fortress.

It is mighty keep, square-ish and with tall towers, lookout spire seemingly piercing the heavens. Made of the black and grey stone, the fort itself looks rather foreboding, standing out in the background of lush forest and crystalline lake that surrounds the island on which the fort was built.

Torres himself escorted the mercenary group through the wide corridors and twisting staircases. With each passed corridor and floor, the Fortress was growing quieter and quieter, indicating that they were passing from common areas to the bedrooms and halls used by the Kesselrings themselves. The valiant knight didn't stop until they were standing at the end of a corridor, and through windows it could be easily seen that they were at the highest floor in the whole fortress.

"Wait here a moment." Captain Torres spoke, knocking at the door. A brief, distant 'Enter!' could be heard, and the stocky, short man slipped inside the room. Seconds passed into minutes, before he emerged from the room, and wordlessly invited the mercenaries inside, bowing slightly toward the youths.

As the group entered, Gregor and Charlotte included, the small door was closed behind them.

In front of them, there was a sturdy-looking desk made from dark wood, the desk was perfectly placed between two rows of bookshelves filled with ancient tomes and dusty scrolls. A woman in her early thirties was sitting behind the desk, her hair dark like a night, and her nails, glittering with red paint, were looking as if they were claws. She looked at the youths with content, before letting out a hum.

"All I see are kids with toys for weapons, with one of my squires as an extra for some reason. Where is the renowned mercenary, Sarius? Is he afraid to meet with me in person?" She asked, tapping the desk with her right hand's fingers.

"Oh, that's the forest girl we have been hearing about lately? Miss, we have been trying to catch you for a week, but you always run away from us. Even Lady Prixima wants to meet you, mostly because you have tresspassed the Grave Glade on several occassions, but that's the lesser of the reasons." Torres nodded at his cavaliers and then began to line themselves with the mercenaries.

"My men will give you a ride to the Kesselring Fortress. All eight of you, get on the horses!"

"Just another duty to perform today, really. Besides, if I see correctly, those were affiliated with that witch Arinne. Less men she has, the more peaceful life in the region is-"

Torres looks to the west and squints his eyes a bit.

"Look who we got there! Isn't that Gregor, one of the Forest Guards? Don't tell me you got separated again, Gregor! Captain Marpa will get you expelled if that happens again, and even your father won't convince her! Even if you're such fine lad."

Congratulations V:

You survived through Prologue.

Now, we can LVL UP! You scored 168 EXP in the pool, so that nets all you a single lvl up. After I fix Sirus' sheet and check other for any misinformation, that's it.

Who wants to get his stats rolled first? :3
