The guards got into practice swiftly, but none of them seemed to stand out at first, the martial training showed a difference in ability among some, but nothing spectacular. However, when it came to an archery training, one of the evil fellows showed a remarkable skill in shooting. The 'knights' had done well in melee, but obviously had held back from standing out too much. Yet this shot caught everyone's attention in archery round.<br/><br/>At the longest range, the guy shot not once, or twice , but a total of all five training arrows at absolute dead center of the target, every single time.<br/><br/>As he lowered the bow, there was a dreading silence around him, the trainers too looking at him a bit warily as one of the sergeants growled and spoke near Gabriel.<br/><br/>"The young man's name is Dain, and he is not in records of having spent time in the dungeons but on arrival his goods included thieves tools and some questionable little things. Suffice to say, there's been folks watching after him but he's out-graced even the elf among the troops in terms of dexterity."<br/><br/>Lastly the round for mounted combat began, and the fact there were knights was obvious for anyone who knew what to watch out for. The way they rode even different horses, the way they time after time struck down their foe flawlessly, against untrained louts and casual guards these guys were the real deal, and the people groaning on their backs in the mud after passes could sign that.
