Matis went back to the place he was sure he'd find Kenshin at. Their tribe.
After some hours of running in the plains, he got to where it all started.
The corpses of the tribe members were rotten, their clothes were ragged, and it looked like another raid of bandits had passed by, stealing anything valuable left.
He looked around, but Kenshin was nowhere to be seen.

Where can he be ?
He looked at what the bandits had done months ago, still without believing all thatt had happened in such a short time. The thought of his tribe being destroyed, and him fighting the bandits directly never even came across his mind before that day.
He spotted the elder's body. It was intact, and his clothes were still in a good condition.
How come ? His body should be rotten, like the ones of the rest...
Matis got near him, seeing that the Elder had something on his hand. It was a crest with the symbol of a sword with wings on it. It was made of a fine and durable metal, probably hard enough to break a sword if it hit one, but it was about the size of a hand.
I'll take it with me, if only to remember this all...
Now, off to Ostia. I'll ask Sain if he has seen Kenshin or Calis.

Matis picked up the crest, and put it around his neck, using a little cord he had found next to the Elder's body.
He was about to leave to Ostia, but he heard a horse coming his way.
What ? What's someone doing here ?
He looked around, trying to find a place to hide, but there was nowhere. All the tents had been burned down shortly after the bandit attack, and there were no trees nearby, so he waited, sword in hand, ready for anything.

Kenshin and Alble came riding in. Kenshin seen Matis in the center of the town with his sword drawn and hops down. "Good to see my efforts didn't go to waste, how's things going Matis?"

"Kenshin ? How's it going ?"
"Well...not doing as well as I'd like. Jaffer was killed by Hargus, so I took his body, and escaped. I gave him a burial, and trained myself to become stronger. My reflexes are way better than before, and my swordmanship has improved a lot. I managed to save some villages from bandits by myself, and only about an hour ago, I got attacked by a group nearby. Two cavaliers, two archers, and a knight. I managed to defeat them, and ran, just in case more were on their way."
"I came looking for you, to see if we could make a good strategy to take those bandits down for good. First place I came to was here. Thought you'd come sooner or later."
Matis then saw that there was another guy on the horse.
"We haven't been introduced yet. My name is Matis...and yours is ?"

"He's Albel, we got attacked at a village he was staying in. We hard to retreat." Kenshin showed Matis what happoned to his arm. "Yea, one them bandits had a sword slayer and the smart guy overthere grabed me but not my sword. We need to get to a town so I can buy a new one."

"You should be careful around spearman and Sword Slayer users... They can hit us with ease."
"Now...about your sword...From where we stand we can go to Pherae, Santaruz or Ostia, and we would get to any of them in about the same ammount of time."
"So...you decide. If we get attacked on the way, you should rest. I'm sure Albel and I can take down groups of bandits without many problems."
I hope we can...

"Well Sain is in Ostia. Ostia is a big city so it's bound we run into people who will look down on us for becuase of where we are. Do you know anything about that Calis guy?" Kenshin started to look around the village to see the damnage for himself. "Dang they tore it up like there was no tommorrow. Was there anything worth value left?"

"Well...Calis is the lord of Santaruz, from what I recall. Don't you remember that he once came to our tribe when we were little ?"
Upon Kenshin's second question, he showed him the necklace he made with the winged sword crest.
"I found it on the elder's hand. He was holding it tightly, but he's long been dead... I don't know what it is, but I'll hold on to it."

"We head to Santaruz. I'm not that found of large citys. We leave when your ready." Kenshin looks at the hut that used to be his, it was burned to the ground and everything taken from it.

"I'm not fond of big cities either, but we have no choice."
Matis then started moving his legs around, preparing for the run.
"I'm ready. So, if you are, let's go."

"Why don't we just ride on Albel's horse? It would be alot faster and I'm sure he wouldn't mind." Kenshin looked at Albel.
OoC:-.- everytime I go to type Kenshin's name I start to put Guy...

"I don't think a horse can run well with 3 persons on top of it. Anyway, running is good excercise."
OoC: XD.
That's why I prefer to use the same name in every place I go to.
"Now" Matis said, ready to go. "Shall we ?"

"Wait, do you still have your slim sword that we started the journey? I'll just use that until I buy a new sword."

"Yeah, I do have it with me... Take." Matis threw the sword at Kenshin, who catched it with his right hand, unsheathing it in the process.
"How did yours break ?"
