A brief moment of silence before he adressed Night without turning,"...Shut up or you'll be the only bloody thing laying about here." at the sight of the Wyvern advancing, he himself had his horse begin to circle, all the while watch that flying beast's motions intently, though the sleep in his eyes wasn't really helping all that much, and his stomach was rumbling faintly too...not sleeping since a day before the whole armageddon situation, it was about the same time as the last time he ate, before responding to the other rider's request," It depends on if you will actually answer my question: Are you a Bern soldier?" you could see his left hand slip to the side of his saddle, where the lance was, but the action wasn't intentional: he was just tired.

Renaz was very tired of the staying away. He wanted to go down and ask them who they were, and what they were doing out in the middle of no where, and also, how to get home? Renaz, knowing the risk he was taking, flew downward, not going to land, just wanting to be in ear range of them. He was going to try to talk to the group of people. Hopefully, even talk to the cavalier.

"Well then...judging by your lack of a response..." he was now watching the flying beast and it's rider's downward dive, which was similar to the strike of that one man he had traveled with during the run-in with the Bernese scout troops...Jhonathon I believe his name was...anyways. "...and by your attack run..." his left hand took hold of the lance, raising it up and at the ready,"En Garde-" his horse reared in anticipation, whereas it's exhausted rider simply fell off and too the ground...and down a hill...why, if it wasn't for the fact the ground was covered with grass, all that rolling would have hurt ALOT more.

Renaz watched, in mere horror, as the man fell from his mount, and started rolling down the hill. Now, suddenly, he figured out something. The man was not dizzy, or acting to get his defenses down. This man, was in all, the exact definition for the word, "exhausted." Now was the time that he and Angur trained for. With a thrust of the reins, Renaz dived down, swooped toward the hill, jumped of the wyvern, then landed (on his feet) just a little bit ahead of the rolling, sleeping man. He was slipping back wards a bit from the inertia, however, would stop after a few seconds. At this time, he had completely forgotten about the mercenaries, who were only just a few feet away.I know this doesn't look good for me, but I can't just let him... roll around. I'm probably going to get killed. Renaz didn't have his lance, yet Angur was making the circle to go back to him. Renaz then said, to the people near by. "Sorry for making such a commotion, just didn't want this man to get hurt."

Night shrugged at Rayl's comment, and merely kept silent. A triumphant smirk formed on his face when his employer fell off his horse and rolled down a hill. With a sigh, he started after the cavalier, only to be beaten to the chase by the wyvern rider. "Eh, don't worry." he replied to the apology. "His own fault, really." The mercenary walked towards Rayl and looked down at him. "Who's on the bloody ground now, boss?" he asked with a good natured grin.

"Meh, no worry, I've been known to push myself to my own limits, fasting and staying awake, for days, and sometimes weeks...going for a month...it's part of self improvment, as the Olde Code clearly states..."Rayl was simply just staring up towards the sky and clouds, rather glad the rain was all but cleared up, before, with a strange amount of adrenaline, rushed to his feet, and swung his leg, mainly to topple Night to the ground, all the while continuing,"Well...guess your not a soldier of Bern...I am Sir Rayl, of Caliea, this is Night, a mercenary I hired from one side of a battle to another, that girl back there is Aleth, also a mercenary, but I didn't hire her really...and that mage back there, you can't really see her, probably asleep still, is Jackie...anyways, I think it's about time she got up..." he ran a hand over his face, before continuing," Hey Night, once your done down there, do me a favor and wake that mage up, I am going to speak with this Knight, shut up Night, for abit."
(OoC: heh, I have a feeling Rayl and Night are going to have a strange friendship of knocking the other over, drinking, making jokes about who's on the bloody ground, and then there is the whole 'night' and 'knight' jokes...)

Renaz glanced at the mercenary named Night, not actually saying a word to him, just listening to him smirking at his employer. When Rayl got done with his introduction to Renaz, he waited until the two actually stopped talking. When Rayl told Night to wake up, "that mage" was when Renaz actually started talking. Well, Rayl, it's nice to meet you, my name is Renaz. I actually do come from Bern... except for the fact that I've been lost for a few..." He mumbled the last part just out of embarressment. It was nothing to brag about, wondering the land for two years straight! "I just haven't been able to reach Bern. Is that a bad thing that I'm from Bern...?" Renaz was a bit worried that this man might have a bad past with his home country, and might strike out at him.

((Got that right.))
Night laughed as he picked himself up off the ground. "No problem boss, but tell me, how do you speak with me if you want me to shut up and wake the mage?" he asked, still grinning smugly. He then looked at the Wyvern Rider. "Nights the name. Guess you knew that, though. Anyways, be seeing you." With a shrug, he started back for camp...not before aiming a kick at the back of Rayl's knee, however.

OoC: Oh snap, Rayl and Night are going to have a friendship like Crowley and Wylie! NO wonder that sounded so familiar!
Rayl actually caught the kick by using his lance as a guard, though this was not intentional, before he turned to Renaz,"Well sir...it's a long story." and so he sat down upon a fallen log, and then continued,"It was only but a week ago I believe, when myself and more of my comrades and friends, not one of them being the people I travel with now...and then, and I doubt you'll believe me, a dragon appeared and pretty much wiped out the town we were in at a matter of moments. I'm not talking a wyvern, I'm talking a giant fire-breathing dragon from the Old War. Well, after a run in with Bernese troops, we were appearently accused of the chaos, and they sought to arrest us, but we took them out, and well...we were all fugitives...then we met a wyvern rider...he was wielding the weapon of the Holy Knight Barigan, the man who founded the Olde Code which I live by..." now looking down at the ground, the cavalier let out a sigh, before continuing,"...looking back now, I mistook him for a Holy Knight and of higher rank, so I couldn't lie when he asked who the dragon was in our group...not the one who blew up that city, but a young girl...well, now my former friends find me as a backstabber, and I've been running ever since...only just recently met these people, and that mage in our group...well, she was one of the people around during the whole flaming armageddon incident. So yes, I do hate Bern. I almost lost my life there, but more importantly, I lost most of my honor..."

Jackie got up (before Night returned to camp) and walked over to Rayl. "Sir Rayl, I suggest you eat something before speaking to strangers." She looked at the Wyvern Rider and smiled, "I'm Jackie, I overheard that your name is Renaz, perhaps we should talk more later."

Renaz was caught of-guard, with the new person's arrival. He was so suprised, he jumped a little." Ah, woah, well..." This must be the mage he was talking about earlier... Renaz breathed in, then saying, "Well, looks like you know my name, so no actual reason to give a full introduction." He was wondering how many people were actually in the cave. Were they nice and understanding like Night, or just plain mean? Perhaps Renaz would learn soon...

"Wait, I think I hear something... could it be bandits?" Jackie quickly climbed a tree to gain a better view, ten bandits were running straight towards them.

Night blinked when he heard the mage. Turning, he scratched his head. "When did she show up..." he muttered. "Oh well. Saves me the trouble." Grinning, he stabbed his sword into the ground and leaned on it.
At Jackie's comment, he frowned. "More of 'em? They ain't from the band I was with, thats for sure...Ahh well, works work..." Standing straight, he pulled his sword from the ground and rested it on his shoulder. "So...Boss...in the case that these are bandits, maybe you oughta get back." he said. "You ain't in any condition to fight."

"Hmmph, a knight's duty is to protect those around him, there is no way I'm backing off just because some minor difficulties." wearily and trying to act tougher than he was (why he wasn't sure), he readied his spear, before looking back to the wyvern rider, before deciding that he could take his place,"...alright fine you win, but I'll be watching to see if your blade is on par with your wit."
...and thus he aparently became the group's tactician,"Renaz was it? Scout ahead and see what they are armed with, watch for arrows and aim for any spear wielders. Night get ready to fight the axemen. Jackie provide cover incase of archers. Aleth help out Night." with a hand on his side, he kicked at the side of his horse lightly, signaling for it to turn, as he road back a short distance away.
OoC: Guess yall were waiting on me. My bad.

"Okay, I'll be back soon, with a full scale report," Renaz replied to Rayl. At that, he got on Angur, nudged at the wyvern's sides, then sped right off, towards the bandits. Renaz got to the bandits in no time. Even though they were a ways off, he could see that there were ten, just as the mage said. He flew a bit lower, to see which person in the group had what sorts of weapons. He saw at least three bandits wielding axes, four with swords, two with bows, and one last one with a lance. The one with the lance seemed to be a bit different with the other bandits. He actually had armor on. It was light armor, not like the knights of other countries he heard of. At that, he went back to make his report. When he got back, he went to talk to Rayl. When he found him, he said, "Jackie was right, there are ten of them. There are three with axes, four with swords, two with bows, and the last, a lance wielder."
