The morning had started like any other for Effie. Early rising for an early brrakfast, then some studying for her more mundane classes before heading towards the archer's practice area. Effie had always felt confident in her ability with a sword, but her ability with a bow? She felt less then proficient. After practice and before the school day, it was announced that a mock battle was to be held. As per protocol, Effie changed into her light armor, clad herself with her claymore as well as her bow and practice arrows and made her way down to the field.<br/><br/>Along the way she smiled and said hello to a few of the students that she made eye contact with. It was almost comical the height she had on everyone: as far as she knew there wasn't anyone that could match her, at least in their more humanoid form. Effie took her place near the archers today. Being a rogue she was able to be a little more flexible with her placing, so she was somewhere alone between the archers and mages.<br/><br/>It didn't take long for Effie's curiosity to get the best of her and she let her mind wonder a bit. She wondered to herself where the other rogue's had placed themselves. She stayed in her place, but honed her hearing a bit to see if she could locate a few of them, if they were near. Effie didn't hear anyone in the close vicinity of herself, so she gave up and waited for the battle to begin.<br/><br/>In anticipation of the battle, Effie fiddle with her bow before knocking a practice arrow. It remained loose in Effie's bow as she leaned against a tree trunk and pushed a rock back and forth with her heeled boot. Her ears twitched slightly, feeling the mages magic in the air.
