Hsu Chao was tired. Even after years of practice the ways of the student were still hard for him. When he was much younger he always wondered how the masters can hit people without seeing them, it looked like a wonder. Yet with every season passed, he learned more from the truth. There is no mystery and no wonder here, it is just acting without thinking. Yet there are real wonders in healing, levitation and in other mysteries learned. But what many young kids see and want to learn isn't a huge mystery, it is something almost everyone can see. Many people want to learn the secrets of blind fighting, and they forget about the real secrets. And ones who try to learn it often think: They would need it when they fight in darkness. They wonder about half elven students, and when they see an elf using similar ways of fighting they try to find similar reasons. Yet most of them forget, that knowing where your opponent and how to fight him is only half of the story. Knowing what is under your feet, and how can you move is just as important, and blind fighting doesn't help there. The reality is far simpler: We learn how to fight without thinking or seeing. It helps when you have to react quickly, it helps if others would distract you, it helps when you can't think about the fight since you have to think about something else.

They all watched, when the mistress spoke,
except for Dramderon the dwarf. He had other thought in his mind, he
knew too well about the height advantage in combat, and knew it all to
well. He knew how he can fight taller oponents, and how they can fight
him, and knew, how he can won the fight. Attacking at two or three
different heigths, instead of one, and attacking at the lower parts of the legs,
where most oponents have no defense, all these tactics were trivial for
him, and besides this, no self respecting dwarf would learn fighting from an
elf. So he just examined his axe, and examined it again. Didn't even
heard, when the mistress called for him.

Sonja was an assassin, finest of her trade,
she knew how to get close enough to her targets. She was a beautifull
girl, loved by most men and women, but she were dangerous. Dangerous,
and charming, a deadly combination. But she was not so deadly, at least not in
all cases. She prefered when she had to capture some fellow women,
liked even more when she had to gather information, but she was even
more happy, when she had to do both of it. But now, she had a third job
as well, teach a lession for her target. A noble girl, who knows much
secrets about politics, a rare female swashbuckler, who won many duels,
and made many enemies, but still, she is vulnerable enough.

They had a goal again. Yet another female target they had. Their all
male guild was a powerful weapon among the drow they all were trained
in the art of killing or ruining priestesses and other important
females. They knew them well, knew where they are almost defenseless,
and what damage can cause the most problem for them, and their
families. A killed priestess doesn’t bring the disgrace of the Spider
Queen, but a ruined priestess does, and they had the right weapons to
ruin any priestess. But their new mission was unusual for them. They
had to hunt down some adventurers on the surface. They had to prepare
carefully because most of their equipment were sensitive to sunlight.
But they gathered a few new weapons.

whole country knew who she is and why she is that though warrior, but
