The woman looks up to Charles and raises a finger for him to wait while the group sitting in front of her speaks. She listens to Vox and leans back to her chair, thinking.
"I am not sure if you are the bravest or the dumbest creatures I've ever met. " she raises a hand to cut any replies " And I meant it as a compliment. Very well, the Masters aren't in the premises right now, and I am sure that they certanly would like to hear about this. What's your friend's name again? "
When they give it to her she nods.
"Oh, the new contestant from Eberron. Yes, yes, I see. I'll put for fears at ease. Charles " she says turning to the newcomer "would you be a dear and show them to the fighters quarters? Once there help them to locate their friend, would you? thank you darling. " she turns again towards the party " In the time beign I will arrange some rooms for you as if you were another one of our guest, but unitl the Masters decide what to do with you I would ask that you don't disturb the fighters in their training. You can enjoy the facilities but please, do not break their concentration and definetly no sparring with any of them. "
Charles hears in his head her voice again, with the exact directions towards the wing that hosts the quarters of the dozen or so more fighters that, like him, had decided to join this bizarre place. He also has seen this Marzira they speak of. She arrived yesterday and he has met her briefly and seen her passing through.
"got it" he glances over to the group of people "follow me" he sais as he starts to turn around and make his way to one of the corridors. He takes a quick look back at Vox "I hear that you need to find someone called Marzira... I can help with that if you would like, I saw her the other day when she first arrived" Charles exclaims to Vox and the group.
Charles nods and startes to make his way to the groupes quarters, you notice that Charles is quite sweaty and is wearing a rather torn up and well lets just say, well used clothing. He has rather dark grey hair and you notice that there is a strange red strand in it , you can tell that he is Elvin cause of his ears but you see that one of his ears looks to be cut. Charles turnes around "So.. is that all you came here for, the girl?" he askes as he startes walking again. When he turned around you saw that he had crimson red eyes and has a pail grey skin tone. "If im to be completely honest i dont think se will want to go this place is pretty great"Charles exlames.
As they walk Leto looks up to Hulud and says "Go have fun and explore. If I need you you'll know. Don't get into too much trouble." the last line with a bit of a smirk. At that the imp disappears chuckling to himself. He then says to Charles "What's so great about it here? Have you been here a while?"
As you cross the different halls and hallways towards your destination you see that the walls are covered with tapestries and the floors with comfortable carpets. Furniture is elegant and in some places decoration is a bit extravagant, but in the most part is elegant.
You cross paths wit a couple of servants a pair of halflings that greet you and keep on their bussines.
Once you reach the correct wing of the mansion you can go towards the second or third floor, wich is where the rooms are, or you can go towards the training chambers.
"Well if I'm going to be completely honest this place is like a spa, other then the training we are treated well and well we are staying in a mansion" Charles looks bac and gives a slight chuckle.
After finding some rooms for the party, they are guided by Charles to the training area.
At the end of a hallway they exit trough a door to the exterior. The weird sky reminding them that they were in some alien place.
Still they find themselves in some kind of atrium with the open, center space, fill of arena and four couples fighting each other. There they find, finally, Marzira, dodging the attacks of a human warrior who attacks her with a longsword. They both seems focused and they noticed that she is not using her legs to attack him, as they know she knew to do with great efectiveness.
"You dance so well," Caiden's Aundarian accent leeching through his labored breathing. His blade flowed between strokes and his feet raced across the ground, only to turn on his heels and begin to brace against the counter-strike. The action force his red-golden hair to brush past his face as if caught by a rushing wind. Caiden arched his back, both hands raising his long sword, attempting to gracefully transition from wind-cuts-through-grass to posta-di-falcone as a high guard waiting for her to come at him. There was an air of arrogance to the stance, and his haughty attitude left nothing to the imagination when he near playfully taunted his opponent. "Come at me, pup-pet."
The young half elf smiles, and says "Pup-pet?" she launches a series of punches so fast that Caiden has a hard time deflecting them all. Two of them hit him, one in the chest, the other one, a direct to the jaw, makes him shakes his head. She smiles and says. " We agreed on not using my legs and you don't use your magic on this fight, but don't get over your head..."
"Ahh ow" Taking a step backward trying to get out of her reach, Caiden reaches for his jaw with on hand. "My lady, I have offended you." He apologizes. "I think I may have been caught up in the dance." He glances at the onlooking group of strangers walking in their direction. "It seems we should end this for now..." Breathlessly, now looking into her half-elven eyes. As he shifts his gaze back to the spectators, he takes another step back. Caiden flourishes his sword and attempts to fluidly sheathe it. "...We have guests." He gives a curt nod of respect and then draws in closer roughly two paces away and tries to speak quietly to his sparring partner. "If there is anything I can do to make amends, I would be most happy to oblige... within reason." Partially a flirt, partially a contrition - completely sincere.
"Welll then I think that that is the girl you are looking for?, Well that's the one who is named Marzira" Charles sais but looks over to the two and is astonished by the sheer strength of the girl he thinks to self "I need to know more about the girl she is very intriguing not to mention beautiful." He looks over to the two "Hey I'm so sorry to intrude but these people were looking for you Marzira, And after that fight, I would like to ask if I could train with you" Charles sais with a smile.
"No worries sword boy" says the monk to Caiden "just don't call me lady again..." she winks at him.
She turns towards her friends and walks towards them.
"Yes, thank you " says to Charles obviously recognizing the party " What? hmm yes, sure " she replies to his request of training but still looking to Merzin and the others. Charles isn't really sure if she really heard him.
"Guys! What are you doing here? Merzin! " she looks really surprised and happy to see you all " How did you get in here? "
"I am sorry. I left a note at the mill, didn't they get it to you?. You know, they told me that I could learn a lot of things here. Not only about fighting styles, but also about other planes and times... And I just had to take the chance... sorry to have worried you guys. But" she seems concerned " they told me that only fighters came here to participate on the conquest. How did you get in here?"
"Well - so long as you came here of your own accord..." Vox says, trailing off, now for the first time, really looking around the mansion, grounds and individuals around her.
Under her breath, she mutters very quietly, "Seems like plenty of wealth here..."
... coming out of her own thoughts, she responds to Marzira, "The imp allowed us through - he gave us a once over and decided we would be allowed through."
"Well then it seems like you all are catching up so I don't want to intrude so I think it would be best if I step away, that is if you would like?" Charles sais to the group while giving a glance over to Marzia.
"Do you really think that anyone could make me do something I don't want to?" asks Marzira raising an eyebrow to his friends. Before they could reply she laughs " You should know me better but I really appreciate the concern. And the risk you have taken coming here. Have you talk with them? are you going to participate at the competition? "
She then turns towards Charles
" Excuse me?. You are... Charles right? I've seen you around. Perhaps we could go to the dinner room and take something to eat. Would you come along Caiden?" she offers, half turning back to the man she was sparring with.
"Guys this is Caiden, another contendant for the upcoming competition." she starts to introduce him.

"How did you find yourself here?"
