On the outskirts of the Ostian fortress town, the army of Bern gathered. They had learned of Ostia's weakness, and were determined to seize her.
On the walls, the soldiers of Ostia had assembled. Tension filled the air, suffocating even the most battle-hardened veteran with its heavy weight. A newly appointed steward was responsible for repelling the invasion, and why he and his companions were quite strong, even they might not be enough.
The battle would be a long one.

Alexia had picked up speed as she charged towards Ostia yet again.
"Sokka, I'm going to get you as close as possible, then I must join Sir Marcus," she yelled over her shoulder. "Try not to die, alright?"

Jamie ran inside to Matthias. "Sir! May I join the soldiers in defending the castle? I have just finished my training in Etruria."

Brad slid off Dray'Gon he wasn't that high off the ground anyway and his long robe worked as a sort of Parachute, thank god he wasn't wearing his wool one, Brad floated down and went to speak to their leader. "I'm a Brad and I've come here with Alexia, Sokka and Dray'Gon to enlist my services" Brad introduced himself to the leader.

"The enemy is just ahead, so be on your gaurd and follow me" Lord Marcus said trudging foward. Ryan followed behind him with the rest of the crew when he saw a shaman floating down from atop a dragon. "Now I've seen everything" Ryan muttered to himself.

Dray'Gon had managed to reach Ostia before th actual battling started. He felt Brad sliding off his back and so he flew lower to the ground so that if he fell, it would not harm him as bad. After Brad had slipped completely off, Dray'Gon flew up again, and surveyed the area, trying to get as much tactical information as he could. He'd have to be careful of Wyvern/Pegasus Riders, Archers, and Spellcasters as they'd be the only ones with a chance to hit him while flying. They would also be Dray'gon's first target.
Dray'Gon examined his dragonstone, and noticed the charge on it was halfway used up. "Looks like I'll have to make every strike count, and take out as many of them as I can." he said to himself. He had to be careful not to use up all the charges, or he would find it hard to make an escape. He also had to act fast, as seeing how big he is, the Bern forces would likely come after him to try and take him down fast. Dray'Gon just hoped that his fearsome presence might be a help, however.

Kenshin walked up next to Matthias. "Looks like the time has come. Try to make sure you take out any wyvrn who comes at me. Are you ready for this?" Kenshin put his hand on his blade's hilt.

I put Grimbold with the other wyverns. 'Be ready to break out as soon as I call for you, okay?' the wyvern growled uncomfortably and I left him. I looked around, most soldiers had already left camp to assault the castle. There was still a great many number of soldier here but nearly all were guarding the outer perimeter. 'And I'm already here, perfect.' I headed for the biggest tent, the one used by the commanders too coordinate the attack.

"Gah," Matthias hacked, then began giving orders. "Healer-girl, go back an' help the other healers. We're damn glad to have yer help. Brad, was it? Get some other mages and move ta support the cavaliers and knights. They'll sure as hell, need the support. Kenshin, could you and Katara move in behind the cavaliers? I'll lead the archers and we'll hit them from the walls. We're tryin' ta defend the place, got it? Don't do anything stupid, but remember, you're stronger than most o' these troops."
Matthias headed out, seeking out the archers. As the only sniper, he'd be needed up there.

Alexia pulled up at the gates of Ostia, where the Ostian cavaliers had gathered. Over the crowd, she could make out the orange armored figure of her old leader, Marcus. He was talking to another young man, who also looked familiar. The crowd seemed to part as she trotted Fleetfoot to her mentor. "I'm here, Sir Marcus, and it looks like I've arrived just in time," she said, smiling. "Indeed, I shall be leading the charge. You and this young man will flank me, is that understood?" Alexia nodded. She let Sokka down, he'd want to find his sister.

Brad looked around for some other mages for like 2 seconds and then went to the cavaliers, he found some old man that must have been the leader. "Hello, I'm supposed to support you cavaliers by order of the archer dude who leading all of you. "Ahh yes Matthias, just try to keep up with out horses" The old man said. I nodded and turned around and saw one person I really didn't want to see right now, what was he doing here? He should have been back in Ryerde not here. I looked into his eyes, stupid move he recognised me instantly, he was about to announce who I was but before he could I jumped up on his horse and put my hand over his mouth stopping him from saying anything. "Just move the horse over there" I said, he did as I asked "Hey what are you two doing?" the leader asked "He's gonna let me dink on his horse and we're discussing it?" I said spitting any words out of my mouth. "All right then" The old man trotted off.

Katara tied back her hair and nodded to Matthias. "I'm in," she said. She checked her blade and Vulenary. She was ready for battle.

OoC: Because this is my alt can I just make my main character speak in here, it will be a lot easier. Also I'm gonna do stuff in the 1st person now.
BiC: Ryan looked down at the shaman that had come to join their crew, it was lord Jason. Before I could say a word he had taken me aside. "What was that about Lord Jason?" I asked "Ok, you don't know me, my name isn't Jason and I have never been to Lycia before" Jason said to me "Lord Jason I know it's you" I said to him "I'm not Jason anymore, my name is Brad and I am a shaman from Etruria and a scholar, not a noble got it?" Jason said "Fine, but we aren't done here, just answer me one question" "Only if you'll answer mine" "Fine, I go first. Why did you leave, your father is sick, he will die soon don't you want to see him one last time?" "I do, I didn't leave because I hated you all, I left so I could know what it was like to be poor and so I could know what it was like to be a person" "What are you on about my lord your are a person" "No, I was the Marquess' son, nothing more, now I am someone" "..." "Now, why did you come look for me?" "Because you are my friend and my lord" I replied "Ryan" "I will keep your secret, now's not the time to catch up we must fight! but after this war we return to Ryerde" "No, I will not return to Ryerde" "Lord Jason" I scolded "We'll continue this another time" Jason said as he hopped off my horse and walked away, he had his nose buried into a book.

Sokka talked to one of the soldiers. "There's two Saceans that are going behind the cavaliers. They looked like friends of Lord Matthias," he told Sokka One was a girl, she looked like quite a catch if I do say so myself," he added. "Uh, ya. Thanks for that." Sokka said, running to the cavaliers.
Then, he saw her. His sister. They met and hugged, tears of reunion falling from both their eyes.
