The desolation tugged at Alexia's heart. To think that bandits had managed to destroy more lives... Maybe I will stay here... To protect these people in a different way... She wondered what she should do. Kenshin would probably want to be left alone to mourn... She turned to Katara. She might comfort Kenshin... Which left Alexia high and dry. She dismounted from Night Flight and looked around, trying to find someplace to wait.

Katara looked over at Kenshin and frowned. "Kenshin... I'm sorry..." she said. She embraced him, the asked, "would you like to be alone for a bit?" She figured he would. She had just learned that her father didn't make to Santaruz, and all she wanted to do was lay in a corner and cry. But there was no time for that, at least not then.

Matis wanted to smack Matthias in the head, but calmed down.
"Let's try to get a look, then" he said, and started to run. He was getting closer and closer. Only a minute separated him from the now visible remains of the tribe. Yes. The remains were still there, somehow. But there was something else.
I know that red outfit
"Kenshin!" he shouted, as he kept on running towards the other group.

If anything Kenshin wanted to kick that headstone over. He held onto the one he loved because it was the right thing to do, since she had lost her father recently.
He heard something in the distance "-SHIN" Looking around he saw somebody running towards them. "Is that Matis and his group?"

Aerious saw Matis take off like a shot, he followed him as the other group came into view. He saw, at first, a man who was the color of blood, red hair, red clothes, dark brown (or red, it was hard to tell from this distance.) eyes. Next to him was a very attractive women with dark hair, probably his wife from the way he was so close to her. He spied two people mounted on hourses further out, but he couldn't see them clearly because of the distance.

Matthias had heard the shout and followed close behind Aerious.
"The one in red's Kenny, next ta him is Katara. One of those mounted is probably m'old friend, Alexia," Matthias explained as he walked. Figured he might as well give Aerious the heads up.

"I think it is!" Katara said, squinting her eyes. She waved to the travelers. But something struck her. One of them looked like a man she knew was dead. "Is that Ranger... Matthias?"

Aerious walked up with Matthias, he felt no need to rush, not like he even knew these people anyway. He assumed there would be some long tear filled reunion as these humans were known to do, he really didn't feel like being involved in it, so he stood his ground roughly 40 feet from the group.

"Kenshin!" Matis said, stopping before his cousin and Katara, panting.
"How has it been? Fill me in" he demanded, as he sat on the ground, by a monument.
This is...Kalaruth? Uncle?. A tear ran down his face, as he closed his eyes. He wondered who had made all of this, and was grateful. It meant that they were not alone. At least a tribe in Sacae would help, if they asked.

"Let's see.... First after we split up Katara, Ryan, and myself were attacked by this woman who claimed to be Roland's lackey, she escaped but barely. After that we were in a town and it was attacked by bandits, that happened after I fought Sasuke. From there we went to Katara's home where we met Bern. I tried to stear them away before they attacked but that woman was with them and cought me.
"They used a berserk staff on me so for a while all I remember is mindless killing, Alan ended up killing her. We also me this dragon kid while we were there and he tried to attack Katara and Lumino so I had to stop him. The next day Bern sent their whole force at us, I had ordered Sokka to get the villagers far from there while me and a few held them off. I realized that it was a battle worth not fighting so I got out of there with Katara. Shortly after we exited the mountins we crossed paths with Hanon. I wasn't able to fight her, I couldn't bring myself to do it so I fought the man who tought me how to fight, he was on her side at first then shortly after I joined them he changed sides trying to get me to deflect. So basicly everybody else fought her but me. Also that one girl that was captured awhile ago and joined us at Ostia took an arrow for Alan and passed on." Kenshin 'forgot' to tell Matis he had a few near death battles.
"So how's your group been doing? Also do you have any news on Bern?"

Yet another Manakete? Wonder how many have been out there for centuries...
"The girl that was cap-wait. Lyndsey? Lyndsey died? Being hit by an arrow in Alan's place?"
Matis remained silent for a moment, before continuing.
"If you guys killed Hanon, that's the fourth hero that's down. I don't know which of these happened first, but Matthias, Aerious" he said, signaling to the young man standing far from the group, "and Crowley, some guy Matt met, killed Roland in Ostia, and we met in Sacae, after Zeiss, Ralph and I had got some reinforcements, which should be helping in Santaruz now. Then, a group of mercenaries sent by the high counselor of Ilia to help us tried to kill us. We defeated them, and decided to go back to Ilia to bring down the man behind all that" he stopped for a second, and caught some breath.
"Matthias then said something that offended Ralph, and he set off running, with Zeiss following him, to make sure he was safe. Crowley was sent with the Pegasi Knight we got from Ilia to Santaruz, while Matthias, Aerious and I went back to Ilia to kill the high counselor. Once there, we freed a woman, probably leader of the Pegasi Knight, and killed the high counselor. But then, something happened. Barigan appeared. It was hard, but we brought him down. Back in Arphen, we found Alan, who told us you were coming here, so here we are."
"Oh, and before all that, all I know is that Matthias and his group had killed St. Elimine"
He had omitted quite a few details, like Aerious being a manakete. If Aerious wanted to tell the rest, he would do so himself, and when he thought it was right. He also hadn't mentioned the fact that Brad was missing, that Dray'Gon had to go back to Arcadia for some unresolved business, and that Lyndsey had tried to kill him and was stopped by Alan, who then left the group. They'd probably know about this last thing, though, as Alan knew Kenshin was coming to the tribe remains.

Aerious nodded when his name was mentioned, but took no other actions and said no other words as he listened to the stories. His grip on his sword tightened when he heard Kenshin talking about killing a dragon-kid. There were so few of them left and he was just killing them left and right? He realized that he was acting like this and let his face slide back into it's expressionless form quickly.
He said nothing.

Katara listened to Matis's word with a well-trained ear. "So... There's only three left, including Athos, who isn't a zombie, and Hargus. Oh, and Bern... This is just beginning, isn't it...?" she said.

Matthias grinned cockily. "Hell, I've already taken care o' three o' them. They ain't no problem! I'd worry more 'bout Bern than anything else." He'd heard about Lyndsey's death, and was mentally kicking himself. Maybe if he'd gone a different direction...

Alexia felt like smacking the cocky ranger upside the head. Still, it was good to see him again, even if he was as crude as ever.
"Yes, and we've managed to lose a person each time we go against them..." she pointed out. "That's three more of us that the survivors will have to bury."
