"And does it matter?" Aerious finally spoke up. "How many more will die if they are allowed to roam free? I think it might be fair to say that all of us, at this point in time, acknowledge how dangerous this is. The fact that we might be the next person who dies, I don't think anyone here is denying that they are willing to fall for the victory. Or am I wrong?"
He didn't even lift his eyes. He said it all as he looked down at the ground. He wondered how they would react.

Katara looked at the new guy. "I think you are right. How would we have gotten this far if we didn't know, and not care, that we could all die. We're doing this for the good of Elibe, not for us," Katara said.

"Exactly" he said, nodding.
"So, what's the course of action now?" he asked, mainly to Kenshin, but hoping anyone would answer. Matis had noticed the coffin besides Kenshin. "Who's in there?" he asked.
OoC: Love how basically no one reacted to Matthias dying, coming back, and appearing out of nowhere, save of course for Katara, who mentioned something, and Alexia, who knows of his "resurrection".

OoC:When you seen one of the strongest heros resurrected in front of your eyes, I don't think seeing the man who was next to you when it happen after he was killed would make you react like a mircle happened.
BiC: Kenshin sighed. "We were hopeing you guys had any new information befor we decided what was the best action to take. It's between marching to Bern and fighting them head on or takeing the same route I did before with a small group towards Hargus himself and hope we go under the radar of Bern." Kenshin pointed to the coffin with his head. "Like I said we crossed paths with Hanon, I couldn't just leave her body to rot in the middle of nowhere. I also thought what if this is the real Hanon, wouldn't it make sense to bury her where her people was? Atleast our people."

At the mention of Hanon Aerious shot up. His blade was drawn, his mouth open as if he was going to say something. He caught himself though, and closed his mouth and eyes, letting out a large sigh.
"..Excuse me for a bit." He muttered and walked off to another area of the village.
"Buried like a hero? Those murderers?! Don't make me laugh..."

I guess I should talk with him on the trip to wherever it is we are going... Matis had noticed that, every time one of the "heroes" is named, Aerious reacted like that. First Athos, now Hanon.
"Actually, we had no notice of Bern, whatsoever. Other than the fact that the High Counselor of Ilia might have been under Hargus' control. Can't say for sure, though"
"Either way, I insist that we should hunt down whatever hero is left before we move on to Bern. Hargus will most likely have Hartmut as his personal bodyguard. That leaves Durbans in the west islands, and Brammimond, who is said to have lost his mind in most legends."

"So... a barbarian an' someone who's bat-crap crazy... fun," Matthias muttered. He didn't think he'd be able to handle a boat ride, so that really only left the crazy bugger for Matthias. the whole "burying the hero" thing didn't really sit well with Matthias either. Wasn't this the enemy we were talking about? They certainly wouldn't take the time to bury this group if any of them fell...

Alexia smacked Matthias on the back of the head. He deserved it, and she was probably the only one there who could get away with it. "We should split into two groups after burying Hanon, then," she suggested. "It would be suicide to go into Bern with any less than our full force, but I don't think we'll have to worry about the Western Isles..." She paused to think for a few moments. "Does anyone actually know where Brammimond is?"
OoC: And isn't he, you know, alive?

OoC: Yes, but no one knows, just like with Athos. Remember that bit?
BiC: "Our best bet would be asking Athos, as it was never mentioned where Brammimond went after the Scouring"
Matis then remained silent. This was the chance to show Arcadia to Aerious, and to get some more answers from Athos. He had been waiting for this opportunity. Still, the idea of traveling all the way back to Nabata didn't please him. Or anyone else in the group, for that matter.

"The West Isles? I've never been there. I'll go with the group heading out here, if that's acceptable," Katara said. She supported Kenshin in everything he did, but she still did not like the idea of honoring the zombie Hannon.

Matthias shook his head. "Puttin' me on a boat's a good way ta get a lot of vomit to clean up..." he explained. "I've got enough problems ridin' something..."
He smiled.
"So it looks like I get to play hunt tha crazy bastard."

"I'll go to the Western Isles." Dirk gave no reason and looked like he would give none no matter how hard you asked. (OoC: Translation, I feel like going to the Isles.)

Alan had caught sight of the graves. I guess this is the place.

Aerious let his eyes wander to the sky. He spotted a form there. Was that a dragon? No, far to small, it must have been a wyvern. As it drew closer he saw who was in it's saddle. That man they had run into in Ilia. Matthias and Matis seemed to be 'friends' of his, but he wasn't quite certain.

Kenshin didn't know how to swim and he didn't want to take the risk of falling overboard and sinking like a rock. "I think I'm with loudmouth over there, but one thing. If what you all say is true and crazy guy is still alive, wouldn't he be just like Athos and not be under Hargus' influence?" Seeing Alan makeing his way there he tried to think of something he could do while they go off to slay another one of them heros.
"Is there anyway we can hinder Bern useless to Hargus, like does anybody know of something that's really really important to them where they'll do anything to get it back?"
