Frustrated at missing his chance at the Lord, Alan had his wyvern grab the general and took him out for trip out of the window. The General struggled at first but after he realised that couldn't possibly save him he gave up and threw his Spear away. 'If you wish to live I suggest you talk now!'

Since Sokka and Alexia had managed to take down the general keeping him busy, and Alan was giving the other general the ride of his life, Matthias was free to take pot shots at the lord all day. Smiling, he pulled back and let loose. "Buffoon! You have yet to hit me with your pathetic arrows!" shouted Raziel, effortlessly rolling out of the way of the shots. "You're right, gee, I didn't notice that before," Matthias drawled, shooting once again. Apparently Raziel hadn't noticed that Matthias was herding him right towards the sword wielders. He figured that a distracted lord was no match for Matis, let alone Matis and Katara and Haku.

Always one step ahead, eh Matthias?
Raziel was getting closer and closer to Matis, as he moved around without making a noise, so the lord would not see nor hear him.
He was only half a metre away from him. It was now or never. Matis unsheathed the Mani Katti, which made a sharp sound. Raziel was turning around when the metallic blade went through his stomach. Without taking it out, Matis asked:
"The bandits will fall. They will fall before my blade, and I will kill them one by one, if need be."
"Not...if I can stop it" the lord had thrusted forward with his weapon, but he was pretty tired from dodging arrows, and the sword on his stomach wasn't of much help either. Raziel's Rapier missed Matis only by an inch, though.
Matis then pulled the blade out, and touched Raziel's forehead with his index finger, making him fall to the ground, where a pool of blood formed shortly after.
Only one general was left, since Alan still had the other one hanging from Grimbold's feet. Alexia and Sokka seemed to be able to handle it, though, despite Alexia's wounds. Not wanting to let their friends be damaged more, he hurried to the general, sliding on the ground. Going through the space between the general's legs, Matis grabbed them, throwing the knight to the ground.
"All yours." he said, getting up quickly, and leaving the room to go help Marcus outside.

'Never!' the General yelled again rfusing to answer my quistions. damn, this guy is as tough as nails. 'I see, Well I guess that bring our tour to a conclusion!' I yelled as Grimbold finally could let go of the enormous weight. I flew back inside. 'So what now?' I asked Matthias.

"You just missed Matis," explained the archer, pointing in the direction. "We managed to get Lord What's-'is-name. Oh, the kids are playing with the general over there." He waved his hand over to where Alexia and Sokka dealt with the general. "Hey, I have a wonderfully morbid idea. How's about we remove this guy's head," he kicked lord Raziel, to indicate, "an' you can go toss it in the lap of some of 'is men. That oughta get 'em to double think their actions. Then, I guess we go outside and 'elp with the clean up."

Alexia prodded the general with her spear. "In case you haven't figured it out yet, let me inform you that your lord is dead. If you choose, you may surrender to us, and we shall make certain you survive to be judged fairly for your actions. If not, you might enjoy a flight with Sir Alan. Or perhaps Sokka and Katara can demonstrate their love for someone who helped destroy their home," throughout the spiel, Alexia's voice had a cold, sharp feel to it. The general lifted his arms to lift his helmet. Sputtering, he turned to look at the others: battered warriors not in the mood for nonsense. "Surrender sounds good," he intoned, his deep voice resonating. "Besides, I was only helping because they had my wife and children captive." "Figured it'd be something like that," Alexia responded. She turned to where Matthias and Alan discussed things. "Don't you dare do as that barbarous archer suggests! We fight with honor, not savagery. I'll take his body and it will be returned to his family." Leaving no room for argument, she scooped up the body. "You all should probably go ahead. I shall wait here and escort this warrior down." she nodded at the general.

Sokka sheathed his katana and nodded at the General. "We'll, at least you have a heart enough to kow when to stop. You family will be safe." He said. "Thats done with. Alexia, wait!" He siad as the cavalier started to bring the body of Riazel down. "Thanks for helping my sister out back ther. I owe you big for that. here, let me take that body for you." he said.

Katra stayed in the tower after everyone had left. "Mother..." She whispered, kneeling down and touching the floor. "I couldn't stop them... I want to know the truth. What is happening, why ae the bandits attcking everyone? Please help me mother, I want to stop them." She whispered to the outside sky. A single tear fell onto the bricks, mixing with the blood of the fallen.

After the rest left I stayed behind with Katara. 'You won't get your answers from just sitting there... But if you stick with us, you will, I promise. Now mount up and lemme give you a shortcut to the grounds.' I said nodding to the window.

Since he wasn't riding a horse, contemplating life, or dragging a body, Matthias made it down the stairs shortly after Matis. Looking around, he was pleased to see that Marcus's forces had pretty much taken care of everything already. After all, it wasn't as though it had been a particularly easy battle, everyone had some wound somewhere. Wincing, he flexed his shoulder. "Gonna have ta find a cleric to take a look at that," he murmured. He couldn't help but wonder where'd they go next... Such thoughts were for lords, not for scruffy archer vassals. Shrugging, he helped finish cleaning up the enemy troops.

Though she thought it would be rather awkward for Sokka to carry that weight, Alexia allowed the young warrior to shoulder the burden of the fallen lord. Moving cautiously, and with the help of the general, she headed downstairs. Once there, she noticed that her mentor's troops had done a fairly good job of handling things. She would wait for further instruction from either Matis or Marcus. Besides, she had someone to look after. "Your group looks to be rather wounded," the general spoke up, causing Alexia to start. She looked down at the captive. "We have been fighting for quite a while, and I believe we all have some wounds," she admitted, shifting in her saddle. Once the thrill of battle had worn off, the numerous wounds she had taken began to ache, particularly the shot that had pinned her legs to Fleetfoot. The horse couldn't be in good shape either, after her harrowing tower climb. "Lord Raziel had some clerics held up in a room nearby, to be ready to heal him in case of emergency. I believe that, given the circumstances, they can be convinced to treat your group." "That sounds like a good idea, lead the way," Alexia motioned with her arm, too tired to bother with more. The general nodded, and headed down a hallway, Alexia on his heels.

Sokka followed the general and Alexia, just in case there were anymore enemy troops nearby. "Do you know if Riazel kept any civilians in dongeons or somthing? If so, we should go find them." He asked the general. "I dont really know, it was kind of a blur, sorry." The general replied. "Okay, I was just wondering." Sokka said. The hall they were going through now was just like the others, dimly lit with bodies and blood every few feet.

"Um, okay, I guess-Wah!" Katara screamed as she was pulled onto the wyvern. They headed out the window and soared over the castle grounds. "Wow..." Katara said, looking down. "It's so beautiful... how can you fight from up here? It's so... pure." She mused. They began a sharp decent as Katara screamed from the sudden drop.

'You get used to it. Pure? I'll try to remember that during bad weather.' I said as we landed.

After helping clean up, Matthias headed back into the castle. Noticing a distinct lack of still-fighting bandits, Matthias headed to the throne, and began lounging, waiting for something to happen.
