Maria led the group into the house. There they saw a sage reading a Thunder tome.
"Nino, that girl's friends are here," Maria said. The sage looked over at the small group behind Maria and smiled.
"Hello, it's nice to meet you all. Your friend is sleeping upstairs so just sit down and rest," Nino said.
"Thank you very much. I am Zang, he is Zash, and she is Romiah. One of our friends went to go and inform the others the location of Rune so the others will come by shortly and we will leave as soon as possible," Zang said.
"Okay then. Jaffar shall be here soon, but don't worry about him. We adopted Maria when we found her," Nino said with a smile, but then Maria was standing in the shadows quietly saying nothing or was showing no signs of caring.
Jailith, Sorina, and Joel
Jailith and Sorina had stopped walking when they saw a familiar black wyvern flying above them then slowly stopped down onto the ground. Joel just got nearly got landed on by the wyvern, but didn't care at the moment.
"We found Rune at a thief's house. That thief's name was Maria," Sasha informed.
"Maria! MARIA OF ALL PEOPLE!" Joel yelled. Sasha stared at Joel for a while like he was a lunatic who happened to past by. She was waiting for him to leave, except he just stood there starting a stare down when he was finished yelling. Jailith and Sorina watched the two's stare down for a while, but then nothing really happened.
"So then you are going to go and tell the others right? Joel could lead us there," Sorina said with interrupting the stare down. Sasha nodded at Sorina and flew off.
"Stupid thief," Joel muttered as he started to lead the two towards Maria's house.
Maz, Elinsa, Benis, and Selina
After a couple of attempts at other people's house they still couldn't find Rune.
"Where could she have gone?" Elinsa asked, but then the Wyvern Lord had flown down in front of the group.
"Well we have found her already. I'll lead you where she is at, but Selina you will have to get Roland, Shard, and Edward," Sasha said looking at Selina.
"I don't even know where Rune is at, so what makes you so sure I would know?" Selina asked.
"Fine then if you are that stubborn. Go to the other village and wait for me there. I'll have to get the missing three," Sasha said and flew off. The group then went off running out of the village to where Sasha told them to wait at, but it was going to take time.
Edward, Shard, and Roland
"Who knew she could do that," Edward muttered.
"You are her brother, so how come you didn't know what she can and can't do," Roland asked bitterly. Shard just stood quiet not even caring if the two bicker. A gust of wind then was felt, and Shard looked up to see Sasha flying down towards them.
"You two stop your bickering this instant. Rune's location has been found. I'll lead you the way there," Sasha said as she flew off making the three remanding people run after her. Once she had shown them the house she flew off to get the others who were waiting for her at the entrance of the village. When everyone got to the house it seemed to be a bit packed even though the two winged unit were outside with Joel. The assassin was already home sitting in the dark in a different area from where Maria was sitting at. Everyone else was upstairs checking on how Rune was doing, when they found she was awake.
"Ow, my back. What happened?" Rune asked looking at the people around her.
"Maria found you flowing down the river and brought you back here," Nino said. Rune nodded.
"I see. Thanks for that," Rune said as she sat up. Zash smiled.
"So what happened Rune?" Zash asked. Rune rubbed her head for a bit.
"Someone launched some arrows at me, except they missed me by a bit," Rune said.
"Then who attacked you?" Roland asked. Edward gave him a glare.
"Must have been you," Edward muttered.
"Why would I want to attack Rune so recklessly so she could get killed?" Roland yelled.
"A shaman attacked me to keep me distracted and get hit by and arrow on the back," Rune said breaking the argument between the two.
"Fine, but next time I'm going to be going with you," Edward said.
"But I don't need someone to watch me," Rune protested.
"I think you do. I'm pretty sure the others would agree too," Edward said.
"Fine then," Rune said.
"So you are up. Jaffar and I had a little talk downstairs and we decided that I come with you on your journey," Maria said appearing behind Rune from the shadow. From the surprise Rune had manage to fallen off the bed clutching a sword unsheathe. The others jumped from the sudden appearance Maria made.
"Alright, but who are you?" Rune asked as she slowly got up to sheathe her sword.
"Maria is who I am. I'm a thief," Maria said. Rune nodded.
"That's really nice to know," Rune said with a hint of sarcasm. It was nighttime by the time the group was going to head out, but something stopped them. An arrow in the sky flew towards Rune, but Maria grabbed Rune and pulled her out of the way, but pulled Rune into Zash.
"Maria what was that for?" Rune asked instantly, but then Maria covered Rune's mouth.
"Quiet, enemies are outside with bastilles," Maria hissed. She kept looking at the darkness.
"There are men who wield swords, lances, and axes on the north. There are also wyverns knights and pegasus knights that fly the skies on the west with bastilles. There are also mages, shamans, and monks who are here on the east," Maria said. Rune nodded.
"Everyone be careful of where you go. I need someone to distract those who are wielding the bastilles while Sasha and Selina go to kill them. Maz you know how to handle the bastilles correct?" Rune asked. Maz shrugged.
"If they are like oversized bows and arrows then I should be able to use it," Maz said. Rune nodded.
"Edward I want you to take care of the mages, shamans, and monks. You shall take a small group with you towards the east to take care of them. Maz, Zash, Elinsa, and Sorina you go to the west and take over the bastilles to shoot down the flying units. The rest of us will go north to fight in a direct battle. Once you finish getting rid of them come and join us at the north to battle," Rune said. Everyone nodded. Maz, Zash, Elinsa, and Sorina disappeared off into the darkness down on the road to the right. Edward and Jailith disappeared off down on the road to the left. Rune shook her head and looked at Selina.
"Go with Edward and Jailith. I'm pretty sure they will need more help than that," Rune said. Selina nodded as she flew off in the sky following the two. Rune looked to see that Zang, Romiah, Maria, Roland, Benis, Shard, Sasha, and Joel were the only ones that didn't go to the east or west.
"Roland and Sasha I want you to go down south to check if anyone is behind us. The rest of you all go north and be careful to not get hit by a bastille's arrow," Rune said. Everyone nodded and did what they were told.
Over on the West
Maz had just taken over the bastille and shot a wyvern right in the eye with it. Elinsa had just managed to parry a Falco Knight's sword, but she felt the weight pushing down on her, until they got shot by an arrow. Zash had managed to jump on the wyvern's back and cut the rider off the wyvern with his swords, except then the wyvern went berserk tying to shake him off. Sorina was busy healing those who got injured.
Over on the East
Edward and Jailith had gotten rid of a majority of the spell casters, but then Selina came flying in with her steel lance. Some of the monks and mages were able to step-side the attack, but then they were blown away by Selina's pegasus.
"I never knew spell casters could fly," Selina grinned as another mage was sent off in the air by Selina's lance. Jailith shook his head as he used his Thunder tomb. Edward let out a low growl from his throat as he got surrounded by Shamans.
"You Shamans think you can all take me out?" Edward asked in a laughing tone. Instantly six Flux spells was casted on him, but they all missed their target, because he moved away from it. He then casted a large ball of flames down on the Shamans having them surrounded by the fire and slowly was burning them down. Edward then disappeared off into the shadows to find more enemies if there was any left.
Over on the South
Roland and Sasha were searching the area. Sasha was checking the skies while Roland was checking the ground. Sasha noticed something and saw that Roland might noticed it if he looks down the road, but instead he kept running down straight, not bother checking. The figure then started to follow Roland silently behind him, but then Sasha ended up sending a lance right threw the person's stomach. Roland turned around to see the man and Sasha flying down to retrieve her bloody javelin.
"Idiot, watch it next time," Sasha said then took off back in the skies.
Over on the North
Zang was doing a fairly nice job on running through the enemies and slicing them down one by one. Zang didn't care if the men he sliced down were dead or alive, but if they were still living, they would only have an inch of their life left, and would surely be killed in this battle. Romiah had just thrust her sword at a fighter in the guts seeing the blood spill out from the wound as she pulled out her sword. Romiah then turned and slit a fighter's neck by accident, but then it did a good job on killing the fighter. The blood slowly went down her sword filling the dents and scratches with blood. Benis had just parried a myrmidon's sword, but then the myrmidon started to spin again and tried to land a hit at Benis, but ended up having a lance go through his left arm. Benis then pulled his lance out of the myrmidon's arm and got it right in the myrmidon's chest.
"When do you think the others will get here?" Benis asked Rune who had just managed to step-side an attack, but then still got a long cut going down her left arm.
"It depends on how well they are doing," Rune panted as she blocked another attack, but then Maria came slitting the men's throat with her dagger. Maria then jumped over a wall before Rune could say something. Maria then heard someone's body hit the ground and looked to see it was Edward's body on the ground. The man who killed Edward was concealed in a black cloak. Maria stared at the face which was concealed in the dark, when she saw who it was. Maria just stood quietly in the darkness until she saw an Elfire was cast and was coming down on her, except she managed to dark to the side still concealed in the darkness. More Elfire magic was sent at her only letting her run around to evade them all, but when she saw an opening she jumped. The dagger was brought closer and closer to the man's neck, but then he teleported away and Maria sliced nothing but the air.
"Curses," Maria muttered before she went off killing more people around her so easily.
After the battle
"Where is Edward?" Rune asked looking around noticing her brother missing.
"He left," Maria said coldly.
"He left to where?" Rune asked. Maria rolled her eyes.
"Let's just get going and leave without him. He went ahead of us to somewhere else," Maria said as she went to leave the now bloody and destructive village.
"Rune should she be coming with us?" Elinsa asked. Rune nodded.
"She could help us even if she gives us that attitude," Rune said with a smile. Elinsa shook her head.
A week later…
The entire group was on the boat heading to Drakle Isle. Rune looked to see Elinsa missing. Rune shook her head while Zash went up to her.
"Elinsa is still sick isn't she?" Zash asked. Rune nodded.
"She just doesn't like boats that is all," Rune said then left. When she went down she found Elinsa and Roland had just finished arguing over something. Roland left to go up onto the docks while Elinsa went into her room. Rune frowned as she went and knocked on the door.
"Elinsa?" Rune asked.
"Come in Rune," Elinsa said in a cheery voice. Rune went in the room and closed the door, but found Elinsa sitting on her bed trying not to rock around with the boat. Rune laughed.
"Elinsa it will be alright. It's better if you go outside so you don't feel the rocking of the boat so much," Rune suggested. Elinsa shrugged.
"I don't feel like it Rune," Elinsa said. Rune then grabbed Elinsa's hand and pulled her out of the room.
"Elinsa you are going to be going up there regardless if you like it or not!" Rune said as she slowly dragged Elinsa out.
