Lumino was not a Wyvern Rider, he had no idea on how to fly one, and did all he could simply to hang on.
It should have come as no surprise then when he was knocked off his wyvern.
He didn't remember much of the crash, but he did remember that he had come down by a pool of water, a fact that probably saved his life. Pulling himself off the shore, soaking wet, he looked around. He had not expected things with Alan and Lyndsey to go that way. He was sure Alan would have jumped at the idea to escape. Now he had more enemies. He felt it, time was running out. He had a country against him, and he had one person certainly trying to kill him that was one of the strongest people he knew. Add to it that he had his own job to do, involving the OTHER strongest person he knew, and few other conclusions could be reached.
One way or another, he was going to die soon, and he knew it.
But did that have to be it? What if he just forgot all of them? He could find a nice town in Lycia somewhere, forget about all of this, and just live a carefree life, like he had always wanted to...
A carefree life....now that was an idea... Away from all of them...Kenshin and Alan, who wanted him dead...Katara whose beauty and charm had twisted him. He had almost become a monster, willing to kill in the name of jealousy and possession. Looking up at the twilight sky, Lumino's thoughts pressed hard on him.
What do I do now?

Lumino paced back and forth, no matter how hard he thought, no matter how many times he ran it over in his head, it all came back to this. There was no realistic way out of this. He had to get out of the country, but if he took off on this Wyvern, he'd surely be spotted and shot down again. He couldn't count on being lucky to save him a second time.

Grimbold landed with a bang. Alan smiled, it hadn't taken them long to find him. 'Excuse me, but what did you call me?' Alan said like no time had passed at all between their last meeting.

Lyndsey flew in, landing just behind Alan. She was impressed at the speed the wyvern lord had found the lost boy. then again, the boy didn't exactly hide his trail well... She leaned against her pegasus and waited.

Turning sharply Lumino saw Alan. Atop his fierce Wyvern, and Lyndsey not far behind him.
"You? Hmmm, I should have guessed that you were more crafty then that. I called you like Kenshin, someone willing to do whatever it takes to achieve their goals, and to hell with anyone who would dare get in their way. You don't think you function like that?"
Lumino should fear, he knew that, but now he did not. He would not show fear, he would not be a coward, if this is the last thing he would do, he would stand against him as an equal, not cower as a boy.

'And what would you call yourself, Lumino? But then, you aren't willing to go all the way, are you. You merely look at your obsession when she looks a away. If you had been a man and asked Katara to choose, that I could respect. I told you not to get involved in this several times, don't look to me for blame. You brought this on yourself.'

Lyndsey's eyebrows arched. She didn't really know this Lumino, and barely knew Katara and Kenshin, but this was still interesting. She'd have to see how this went... She simply watched, her face passive.

Lumino clenched his fist. A man with an obsession...he was right. He was a beast obsessed, and this was where it lead him.
"So if this is what love brings me, to the end of a lance in the middle of the plains...my only regret is I couldn't take him with me. But don't underestimate me Alan, I won't go easy on you just because we share the blood of Harmut!"
The ring on his finger glowed red, and Lumino felt it's power consume him. The supreme arcane energy coarsed through his veins. He could do it, he could win.
"Now come Alan! Let us decide which son of Harmut is stronger!" And with that he pulled his Hellfire Tome free from his robe.

Oh, hell, they're going all macho and manly "Love? You could try doing something for love besides causing problems," Lyndsey suggested. She didn't get her weapons ready, however. "Tch, I guess I don't really know." She looked over at Alan. He'd probably kill the boy.... He'd killed before... Should she stop him?

'Go easy on me? Well that's a relief.' Grimbold charged at Lumino but didn't scratch him with his fangs as much as knocked him to the ground. Alan sprang of his Wyvern picked Lumino up and launched his fist into the boys chest, knocking the air out of him. Then he picked him up again. "I can suffer your treachery, Lumino...' Alan hit him in the face again. 'But not your INCOMPETENCE!' Alan drove his sword into Lumino's chest.

Lumino staggered, he was dying, that was definite. The only thing keeping his body from crumbling was that Alan had yet to pull the sword out.
"..won't...die...alone.." He gasped, blood pouring from the sides of his mouth. He felt his power slipping away, but then he saw it, how to make the spell more powerful...
The ring on his finger shattered, becoming a ball of blue light. His Hell Fire Tome burst into flames, becoming a second ball of blue light, and then the little bit of magic power he had left, gave them form and push them forward, right into Alan's chest. The explosion of fire consumed Lumino's body, and the last thing he saw was Alan's face surrounded by the scorching fire.
This was how it ended eh? He was in this fire, but it was so cold...this is where his life took him...where love took him.
No.
It wasn't love that did this to him, it wasn't Katara or Kenshin or even Alan, he did this to himself. He should count his blessings that someone like Alan killed him, at least now he wouldn't hurt anyone again. How could he have been so stupid? Killing Kenshin? Even if he did it, it just would have made her sad...he should have been happy for her, should have been willing to accept her choice...but this, it was the best he could offer her...

"Alan!" the scream ripped out of Lyndsey on its own accord. One moment the mageling, or sageling now, was impaled on the wyvern lord's sword. The next thing Lyndsey knew, the magic user let out a burst of power, and she watched Alan go up in flames.
Her pegasus acted of its own accord, flapping up and away from the fire. Lyndsey lunged forward, desperate to somehow save Alan.

Alan ran to the pool of water (Thank Christ that's here) and nosedived into it, his wyvern right behind him. When he surfaced again he had even more burnwounds then before. (Alan & Mages don't seem to mix well come to think of it) 'I'm good, I think.' Alan then lost conciousness.

Lyndsey flew around for a while, searching the scorched area for Alan. She should at least notice the massive wyvern. At last she saw a figure climbing out of the steaming water. That fool, she thought, though she smiled. He was alive, that's what mattered. She flew down, and scooped the unconscious body onto her pegasus. She looked over at Grimbold. "Follow," she stated. Priya flew, carrying both Lyndsey and Alan. Back to the castle.

Lyndsey landed on the platform of the castle, and quickly unloaded Alan into the waiting arms of a servant. "You can tell Lord Ashton or whomever that Lumino has been taken care of," she ordered a guard. She tossed her reins to a servant and hopped down from her pegasus. "I will escort Sir Alan to the infirmary. You." She pointed at a servant. "You will take us there." The servant did as ordered, and Lyndsey followed, with a couple of other servants carrying Alan on a stretcher. She only hoped it wasn't too late.
