Volket is here! XD
(OOC: want to join? check the OOC Thread!)

It had been two long months, they had just recently lost their Begnion pursuers. Who knows how long it would be until they found them again, Volket had been under a good deal of stress lately. with all the attacks his small unit of fifty men, women, and children had suffered a great amount of casualties. Of the fifty who started this journey only thirty-two were left. It would of been far worse if they hadn't of been in the forest when the Begnion's wyverns attacked. Now he had something far worse then smelly lizards attacking him, the people were speaking mutiny. Not that Volket truly cared. most of the townsfolk had been captured and a few killed. It was silent right now, but the attacks made Volket ready, even his own people were subject to investigation. the he heard it...the cry of wyverns above them.

"SHOOT! everyone take cover!" yelled Volket as a wyvern swooped down and nearly took his head off. Volket readied his lance. This had become mostly a game, he wasn't gonna lose either. all he knew was that if they ran into the holy guard they were in trouble. the wyverns they had couldn't fit well in these woods, but a pegasuses could. Volket took a wild swing and knocked the knight off his lizard, he didn't waist time he jumped on the man and killed him with a lung to the neck...blood spilled over onto the ground. He looked up at the others "Run more will be coming soon!" as he finished that line a wyvern flew down and snatched him up into the sky. He had been caught again, but then axe sliced the wyverns head off, he started to fall with the man but was caught by Darrel.

"Hey thanks" said Volket, "What it be a problem for us if you went and got yourself killed. They quickly landed and started running with the rest, it looked like they would get away but then... they ran into a opening, it seemed a caravan was moving by. Even though they were running Volket yelled out to them, "You better get out of here!" as a wyvern swooped down and was quickly dispatched by Edith.

((OoC:: I edited your curse word out. :/ The rules here will be enforced. ))
(OOC: Whoops sorry slipped my mind XD thanks for fixing it for me.)

Soren's small brigade of soldiers were now traveling through enemy territory. Everyone was on edge. Soren was the only one not swerving their head to keep survey of the land. Soren held an ElWind tome in his left hand, just encase something were to show up. The others were, like said before, on edge, and looked in every direction for enemies.

A loud scream came from the woods to the east. Soren ordered a stop,"Halt! Battle positions!" Soren opened his tome ready for anything to come. Titania, mounted on her white bronco horse, moved in front of every one, her Hand Axe at the ready. Rhys held his Mend Staff and stood behind the transformed Maurim. Tormod had a Meteor Tome open and stood in the convoy.

"You better get out of here!" Came an unkown voice. Every one in the small party of mercenaries looked his direction. What seemed to be a small army was heading for them. "Go to them!" Soren barked his order out at everyone,"Tormod! Hit that wyvren up there!" Soren pointed heavenwards towards a lizard descending down to fight.

Tormod read the incantation aloud and spun around pointing towards the flying lizard. The sky grew red and a ball of molten rock formed from nothing in the air. Growing bigger, bigger, even bigger. Finally, falling onto the man and dragon-like creature, pulling them into the ground, cindering their bodies. Tormod smiled at his handiwork, and continued to peck of the air bone units.

Meanwhile, Soren and company had made the distance between the on-coming 'army' and themselves scarce. "Get behind us if you can't fight. If you can get ready. We make our stand here. They won't get past us. Crimea's army is on their border." Soren said the the soldiers passing by including Volket.

Volket had a bad taste in his mouth...He couldn't leave those people back to fight, not against these odds. He called over Edith who was already mounting her wyvern for when they caught back up. " I want you to take everyone and get out of here!" Volket said to her,"What?! you can't be thinking about staying!" she yelled back at him. "Thats a order" Volket responded ending her arguments, "Darrel!" Volket called out, he had already mounted his wyvern "yes sir?" he said. "Cover my back." Darrel gave a grin and said "just like old time huh?" Volket started laughing "Don't speak as if we are old just yet!". They spun around and ran back into the battle, Volkets first action was to stab one of the fallen wyvern knights in the gut. "These kids don't even finish off their enemy..." Volket was both impressed and annoyed by this act of mercy right now...He called out to Darrel "I'll will return in a second!" he said. "Well hurry up!" responded Darrel. He hadn't had yet to use the armor he had made back in Begnion, he put it on it was surprisingly light for it's size, it's ebony black color made him stand out against the icy white snow.

When he came running back he saw a wyvern circling a small mage holding a elwind, he knew what was about to happen and ran as fast as he could move...He jumped and tackled the mage just as the wyvern attempted to land on him. "Lucky I'm around to save you" Volket said... He didn't give the wyvern knight a chance to get back into the air he threw his Javelin with all his might right into his neck, upon impact it nearly ripped the mans head off. The snow was red with blood, the wyvern's were retreating...Volket spat and yelled out at them "COWARDS! WHERES YOUR BEGNION PRIDE NOW!" he quickly turned around and glaring around trying to figure out who the leader was, he didn't like people taking risks when he told them to run....

The young taction of the party was fuming about how he could've handled the Wyvern Knight by himself. "I could've handled that!" He yelled walking towards the Lancer. "I was just about to finish him off!"

The other mercenaries were fiddling about, getting organized again while Rhys healed the injured soldiers and civilians who were still living. Titania, who was originally second in-command of the brigade, was organizing the people left and saw that there was only two casualties of civilians. That means thirty where left.

Darrel's veiw
______________________________________

Darrel was trying to calm Volket down even if it didn't seem to be working, "Come on Volket, it's not like they didn't help us!" pleaded Darrel, he was answered with a resounding yell form the small mage "I* was just about to finish him off" he yelled. Darrel backed up this was one of the worst times to be yelling about kills on the battle field, *Volket had a bad temper and from the looks of it he just set him over the deep end* he thought as he backed away not sure how Volket would react. He reacted by yelling back " NEXT TIME I TELL YOU TO GET OUT OF HERE DO IT!" Volket was good and mad now...

Volket's veiw
______________________________________________________

He wasn't going to wait around for these idiots to do whatever they had to do, after all his group wasn't a real military. Casualties were anyone who didn't come back, by whatever means, if they were lost dead deserted or captured. they were casualties to them. He started to walk away then heard the voice of the scrawny mage again. He was good and mad now he already yelled at him about the wyvern knight he killed...

Soren wasn't all that mad, just trying to get his point across. "If we didn't show up when we did, you would have been killed...and you know it." The sage said directly to him sternly, "Why do you think I'm the leader of this group? Set out by General Ike of Crimea's Griel mercenaries?"

Darrel's veiw
__________________________________________________________

Darrel went flying back, the kid just got himself in the worst spot possible. Volket did not accept when people are as he quotes "Heros". Amazingly Volket hadn't exploded yet, he just sighed. "Kid you better head back to Crimea...It's not safe around in Begnion, double so if your a Christian." he said. Darrel wouldn't argue, after all Volket was right. He already could see the anger in the young mages face, without thinking Darrel said "Hey wait! What do you mean we were gonna die?! That was a small group, that small thing was just to make us weaken our strength!" yet again Volket had been right, if they had cept running the wyvern's would of left anyway. Volket was now in a fury, and Darrel could see it he backed away as he could smell one of Volket's fights brewing. "Darrel...lend me your axe." Volket said suddenly.

Volket's veiw
___________________________________________________________

"Well!? Lend me your axe!" Volket repeated. Darrel looked as if he was had seen a ghost. "What are you trying to do kill the kid?!" Darrel protested, Volket rolled his eyes and looked around the battle field till he found a corpse that had a iron axe that was in good shape he picked it up and walked back to the leader. "Kid tell you what well settle this like real men." Said Volket pointing the stolen axe at the kid. "Volket!!!" Yelled Darrel in protest, "I'm using a axe so i won't kill him...If i used my lance he would be dead understand?" Volket said justifying his actions before taking his stance.

Soren raised an eyebrow, trying to settle this through words, "What I mean by you would've died is this; The Beginon Central Army isn't far from this location," Soren pointed in the same direction Volket and his band of civilians were running," The Wyverns would've ran you into them, resulting in your death." Soren then saw him not listening, but besides rambling on about an axe, and settling this like men.

Titania saw the man approach Soren in a manner to fight, she wasn't about to have this, neither was Mia, who had seen it also. Titania charged forward, getting in between Volket and Soren. While, Mia jumped through the air, landing behind Volket, sword to throat. Tormod seeing the action directed Maurim over there with Rhys.

Maurim starred the Wyvern Knight in the eye, "Move, and your head is mine..." Came the roar in the form of words, with a coat of aggression, and murderous anticipation. Tormod followed behind, ElFire Tome open, sparks of fire circling him, "And don't think you can fly away either. His eyes blazed with a fiery fury, the same attention to kill edging his voice.

Titania spoke up, "What are you doing, soldier? Speak of Beginon pride, huh? How foolish and immature." An Armorslaying Axe slung onto her shoulder guard, her grip not loosening in the slightest.

Volket began laughing, Darrel just let his wyvern slapped the little mages tome out of his hand and put his axe to his neck. "Idiot...you mite of had the intent to kill but you blew your shot by moving into my wyvern's reach." Darrel said trying to defuse the situation before it became another Begnion keep. Lucky Volket wasn't in the mood for anymore bloody combat today. Volket suddenly slammed the back of his lance into Mia's gut and then walked away as she dropped her weapon. "I recommended you get out of here...after all the Begnion army will be here soon." Volket said, he had calmed down again. "Look i don't want you to get killed but if you stay here you will..." Volket was poorly keeping a key point from the group, and he knew they could hear it in his voice, "Darrel we're leaving! We already stayed too long." yelled Volket. "Yes Sir" responded Darrel, before Darrel left to chase after Volket who was already running over the Begnion corpses, "I'm sorry if we had known you were so weak we would of left more troops here to help." he said with a apologetic bow. Darrel felt he had defused the situation when all he did was make it worse.

(OOC: just so you know Darrel is a Wyvern Lord XD (2nd tier wyvern) and Lances hurt if you get hit in the stomach with them O.o)

He caught up with Volket as he threw his broken lance aside, "What happened to it?" asked Darrel. "That girl was a lot stronger then I thought she was, broke my lance just to make her let go of me."

Soren looked as the scene before him played out. He blinked as his comrades took position, but were quickly dis-membered by the two Beginon soldiers. Soren was now very angry. A silent wind gushed around him, visible, but completely inaudible. The small tactional Sage's eyes glowed a vivid green color, and he read the incantation aloud. A giant, gushing, whirling tornado formed down, blockading the Lancer and Wyvern Lord passage. Everywhere they went, the tornado followed, but never went for them.
