-What! But... but how will I... I agree, but I need Francis to promise me that he won't abandon me again, after all I needed those powers to see if he wasn't hurt.-
Francis, still pale, replied:
-Damn, that's hard, I'm bound to my oath to serve in the brotherhood, I can't do both things...-

Warming her hands against a burning pyre, Elena felt something was amiss, as if she was missing something important. A loud crack pulled her out of her thoughts however and she payed it no further mind.

- I am afraid that things are a bit more complicated.- Drago said.- Many people of noble blood join us to start anew. The people that join the Company leave their old lives behind. And I do mean everything. There is one possibility, but what can you possibly offer us?- He asked Guinerve.- If Halfman doesn't take your powers, we'll eventually have a tail of vicious Samann mage hunters on us. From what I heard, they are ruthless to anyone harboring a warlock or a necromancer. Halfman is really a nice fellow to have, trust me.
- You really put me between a rock and a hard place here- Drago said a bit frustrated.

"She could offer us her support in this land, Dragomir. Good day, Lady Guinevre. My name is John and am also one of Francis' companions." John who just now joined the group bowed to Guinevre and turned back to Dragomir, "don't forget that she is a close kin to the ruler of this land. Her word carries power in this pace, in a way probably more than a writ from the king himself. And her memories carry knowledge about the surrounding, the castle and the people. If we are really staying to see this through, lady Guinevre would be a valuable asset for us. I suggest we let her join up with us at least until we get this place cleaned up. And if it her safety, you're worried about, I don't mind taking personal charge of that."

Francis was pleased: -I think the same as John, and count me too at her behalf, she is out of the castle because of me, and as such I will protect her, nevertheless, you could use some more diplomats, also don't forget she stayed alone for almost 10 years without any help.- he then addressed Guinevre: -And I think you could learn how to handle a sword if it's required, am I correct?- he then continued: -I promise, that should Guinevre join the company I shall never abandon her in the moment of need.-
When Guinevre heard those words she was more than delighted: -And I agree then to lose my powers, if that's what is needed of me-

- Thank you for your counsel John, it is much appreciated.- Dragomir said. The expression on his face changed- This can be arranged. The terms seem acceptable. I suggest we get right on it. Rigit this way please.
After the short walk to camp, Drago led Guinerve to his wagon, to sign in with the Company. The ledger has been signed, and bloody finger print was left on the paper.
- Very good. Now only one thing remains. - He said to her as they exited the wagon. Halfman was already waiting for them. Without much ceremony, he raised his right hand and said:
- Guinerve Callandrie Noire, I deem your rituals complete.- as he finished the sentence, black and silverish energy streams flown out of Guinerve. They seeped into the ground for a few moments, and then it was over. The woman was stripped of her control over the arcane.
- Welcome to the Brotherhood.- Dragomir said to her.- now there's the question of outfitting you. Francis, take her to the armory, I think there should be something for her.
- aye- Magnus added- and if not, I can forge somethin for the lass.
- Yes but for the time being, something from our stock should suffice.- Drago said while accepting the wineskin from Magnus.

-With pleasure milord!- Said Francis.
The knight brought Guinevre to the armory as requested.
-Choose as you wish, there is a wide range of weaponry here...-
-Do I have to go in the flurry of battle?- Asked Guinevre
-Not if you prefer so, you could stay behind the lines to give some ranged support, whatever you choose there is something fitting.-
-So what if I wanted to stay behind the lines, what do you advise?-
-I'm not exactly an expert, but getting a crossbow would be your first decision, and then getting some armor... I think this would be good- Francis handed a scale vest to her -Is the size correct?-
-Yes, you still have a good eye, you know, I didn't think it would have ended like this.-
-You know, the reason I escaped was because everyone felt you were doing something strange, to be honest, we felt like your family were vampires or something of the sort...-
-So magic actually got me more distant from you, I hoped it would have helped you get near me...-
-Indeed, but I should have tried to understand the problem... I hope you'll stay well in the company...-
-I don't think I could stay here without you, will you maintain your promise?-
-I swore an oath to serve the company, and another to protect you, the only way I could not keep the promise would be if I was forced to. Anyway, 'tis not the time and place for such discussions, how do you feel in armor and crossbow?-
-Good thank you, what do I do now?-
-We'll introduce you to Allikha, the swordmaster, he surely would know how to teach you how to use your crossbow effectively, also, go talk to Isabella, she may be grumpy, but she could teach you how to make some bandages and the sort...-
And so the two went to Allikha first, as they needed to schedule her first training.

Allikha was someone Elena respecte a lot and considered a good friend. Mostly for their occasional sparring, something she always looked forward too. It's also what they were doing right then. The corpses were nothing but ash by now so they both had some time to themselves, which meant they had a go at each other. What she liked most about sparring with him, however was that they had agreed to use their main weaponry, meaning she wasn't limited to wooden swords and as such could use her full skillset against him. She never did get the hang of swords.
Parrying, turning, stabbing, hitting, even some kicking and punching, it was almost like a dance. A sweaty, dangerous dance with a quite a few onlookers. there was no better way of relaxing as far as Elena was concerned.

Several other members were practicing alongside Elena and Allikha. they were using sparring blades, and kept distance from the woman and the orc arms-master. Upon noticing the arrival of Francis and Guinerve, Allikha called for a cease, to go and talk to them.
- So what do we have here?- He asked.
Meanwhile, the old man returned with Vyshan, the supposed would be guide to the hideout in the swamp.
- So you're the guide?- Drago asked.
- Yes m'lord. The name's Vyshan. I've been hunting and fishing in these parts for years. I know the marshes well.
- Even the hidden paths?
- Yes ser.
- Very good- Drago blew out a smoke cloud.- Zet! I heard you wish to volunteer for this little trip. get a few lads, and go with Vyshan. Ask for Paul, son of Mark if you encounter those hiding men.

Francis introduced Guinevre to Allikha: -Well, master Allikha, this maiden goes by the name of Guinevre, and she is a recent hire of our company, she wants to use a crossbow and a dagger, so we decided to schedule a first training for her, as she needs to learn how to use both weapons...-
Guinevre took a small bow and said -Pleased to meet you, master Allikha.-

"So what's your relation to Francis? You don't seem like the usual women he surrounds himself with" Elena asked Guinevere. "If you need any help with training, I'll gladly help you. Elena" she continued and brought forward her hand in greeting. Something about this woman felt off, in an exciting way.

Francis took his hand and quickly gestured at Elena to be silent about that, while Guinevre wasn't sure of what she was talking about.
-Oh, pleased to meet you too Elena, I'm Francis' fiancee.- She smiled as she said that.
-Oh bother...- muttered Francis between his lips.

Elena had never smirked like she did then and there. "Francis is such a dear you know so I hope you won't mess with him too much and do let me know if you need anything, anything at all" she said with overdone politeness. "I am certain we will become great friends. Well, with that out of the way I guess I'll leave you to Allikha. Don't hurt yourself"

((god bleeping damn it! the stupid soft on my phone or whatever just wrecked my reply I was composing. blasted no action defined errors *nerdrage*))
- Oh, is that what it is- Allikha said by barely controling his laughter.
- Allright. I can teach you how to wield these properly, but there is one thing. when in training, You'll follow my instructions to the letter. I don't wish to hear any whining, complaining or crying. the same was said to everyone else in here. Now, since we've got that out of the way, let's not waste anymore time and begin.
The orc ordered some archery targets to be erected.
- Now the operation of a crosbow is fairly simple. ours is even more. the crossbows we use have integrated goat's foot levers, for faster and easier reloading. this weapon is easier to master than a bow. the easiest way to fire the weapon is from this position- The orc showed Guinerve the basic position for fire the crossbow.
- Shooting is simple. you aim where you wish to fire, and squeeze the trigger.- He demonstrated by firing the weapon.
- To reload, you pull the lever backwards to yourself.- He placed the bolt on the crossbow and pulled the lever, reloading the weapons.
- Now you've got the basics to control your weapon. give it a copule of shots at the target there.

-Let's see...-
The first shot was terrible, the dart went on the ground, Guinevre didn't understand yet how to counterbalance the recoil.
After some shots she managed to hit the target, but still her accuracy wasn't exactly prestigious.
-That's what I meant before...- Said Francis with an apologetic look on his face: -But I still think she can become good with it, give her some days and...-
((If you could please continue from here, training scenes aren't exactly my best...))

- No worries. The improvement will come with time. just need to keep practising. Stand firmly on the ground. direct your weight to it.- He said To Guinerve. this time the bold git a bit left to the bullseye.
- Good. try it again.- Another bolt landed near the bullseye.
- Improvement on such short notice. I like that.- The arms master said.
- Keep practicing with it.- Allikha said.- Once you think you have enough, we'll cover the fencing basics.

After an hour or so Guinevre decided it was time to understand how to use a dagger effectively so she said: -I think I may be done here, I wouldn't want to waste your time, so I think we may pass to fencing-
