The sounds of soldiers shouting caught Kyra's attention. She had been working in the clinic trying her best to help the wounded and injured she had no time to fight. It wasn't an easy choice for her to make: on one hand she wanted to defend her village from these evil creatures. On the other hand, her skills were needed for treating the wounded. But once she heard that the dragon itself was making an attempt to attack the castle, Kyra knew she couldn't just stay here. If that dragon manages to break through the gates, it's all over for everyone. She needed to stop that dragon before everyone could get a chance to recover. So Kyra went and grabbed her weapons and armor. She donned her simple leather armor, better to block against briers and thorns than blades or arrows. But it was all she had. Fortunately her weapons were a better quality: her father's hunting bow and his shortsword. They may seem simple, but they could kill a deer or a soldier equally well. And today they may even slay a dragon.

Kyra ran straight towards the battlement and along the way she ran into the group of strangers who had arrived to the castle fortress earlier. Kyra saw them speaking to the mayor when she brought water to the guards on duty, but had no time to speak to them. It looked like they were ready to fight as well. Kyra was a bit nervous approaching them; they didn't look anything like the other townsfolk. For starters one was an orc, or maybe a half-orc, which Kyra has never seen before. The halfling had bright blue hair, which was very odd to Kyra. There was another warrior and something seemed... Odd about him. Almost fey like. And then there was the old man, who simply had the air of an aged wizard. Kyra didn't remember if he was part of the group or not, but she did know he was an outsider as well. Certainly a motley crew.

She heard the halfling ask what the plan was and Kyra had one in mind. [b]"This fortress has withstood against the dragon's breath already. If we simply take cover it'll have to try to break through with it's claws and fangs. It's dangerous, but that would be our best time to strike, I think."[/b] Kyra spoke up as she approached the group. She felt like that unlike the rest of the guards here, these people were more willing to go out of their way and face this threat head on, instead of hiding inside these walls for their doom. [b]"My name is Kyra Shepard, a humble priestess of Chauntea. I can't say I know how we can slay this dragon, but if we work together I know we can defeat it."[/b] Kyra gripped her bow tightly to reassure herself.
