'Matt, we should leave.' Sergey said looking around him. 'You know, like right ****ing now.'

"DAMMIT!!" Matthias shouted, shoving the puny man out of his way (I have about 300 posts on you, sorry). He stormed up to St. Elimine. "This 'woman' is a fraud! I was there when the leader of the Ruinz bandits sacrificed an innocent life to revive an' control this d**n flesh puppet!" by now Matthias was nearly foaming. "I'm not just gonna sit back an' let innocent people get controlled by a puppet. Dammit all, the strings are gonna be cut here an' now!" Matthias drew out his steel bow and took aim at St. Elimine. Gasps went up from the collected masses as the arrow flew, aimed straight for St. Elimine's heart.

The arrow spiraled towards St. Elimine, but never reached its target. As it neared the holy woman, it suddenly vanished. There was no impressive flash of light. There was no obvious barrier. the arrow simply vanished as though it had never existed. "Young man, I feel deeply sorry for you. Perhaps, in the next life, you will be able to repent of your actions," the holy woman once again pointed her staff at the sniper. Light began forming at the end of the staff.

"Matthias!!!" Alexia screamed, her throat going raw with the effort. She lunged forward, but was held back by a hand. "MATTHIAS!!! MOVE!!!" The sniper turned his head to look at the cavalier. Defiance and sadness played across his features, looks she'd seen before, when they'd found her parents' bodies. "MATTHIIIIIIAAASSSS!!" Alexia screamed again.
It was too late.

St. Elimine's powerful magic hit the sniper's body hard. Its power lifted the skilled warrior off his feet, and everyone could see the pain lighting across the young man's features. "The light will purify all that is evil in the world," intoned St. Elimine, her voice sorrowful. With that, she muttered the words of her sacred tome, a final prayer. "Aureola." The beam tore Matthias apart, leaving only his cloak to flutter to the ground.

The scene had played out of control. It seemed to happen so fast, and before he could act, before he could say anything, Lumino had to come to terms with what had happened...
Matthias was dead...he was dead. He was one of the first of the group he met, and now he had been removed from his life, so quickly.
He sat their motionless for a moment, and then before the tears, before the hatred, came terror. Those people they were with, any of them would have been able to infer that they knew Matthias, and came here with him. Alexia's scream had almost guaranteed it. They were in danger, and the last thing he wanted was to be at the mercy of a holy murderer.
He grabbed Alexia's cuff and pulled hard. However she was much stronger then him and was wearing armor. His tug did little except pull her cuff.
"Come on." He whispered franticly. "We have to go, we can't stay here or they could turn on us! I know how you feel, but if we join him we will have accomplished nothing!"

Alexia's body and mind had stopped working. It was deja vu for her. First her parents, then Calis, now... She didn't know what to do.
People had started murmuring and pointing at Alexia, obviously linking her with Matthias. Others were gathering around Sergey, who had been whispering advice to the sniper.
Alexia looked at Lumino, her mind catching up with who the young mage was. She knew she was taking too long to move, but she just couldn't seem to think faster.

Horrorstruck Sergey kneeled by the remains of Matthias. He picked up the cloak and floded it. Ten he started walkin over to the other. nobody hindered him. With hollow voice he said. 'Let's go.'

The group is leaving. The strangers. I must help St. Elimine. But how... I cannot stop them. Even the dead sniper was stronger than me.
"How..." He murmered.
Bingo. I'll join their group and they will lead me exactly to where the others of them are. And then I will betray them all to the great St. Elimine. He could probably kill them all right now. But IF I want to help St. Elimine, it would be wise to find the whole lot of them. Well, I think there are more of them. And I hope so...ยต
Kraft went to the group really quickly. This is the moment he has been waiting for, the start of a journey, the start of his work for St. Elimine.
"Come on, all of you, follow me. Go back inside the green unicorn and go out through the backdoor. There's a well there. Go inside the well and you'll find a ladder. Climb down the ladder and follow the tunnel. No worries it's as dry as my throat down there"
The group was startled and looked at him in a funny way.
"No worries, what I did a few moments ago was just for show. I'm on your side. let's go."
And so it begins...

'I heard you yell.'Sergey said still with the hollow voice. 'Nobody is that good an actour. Out of my face or I will kill you.'

"Sir. Seriously. This is an emergency. Ask Alexia. She saved my life. Without her I would've been dead. I'm repaying my debts. Ask any of them. I've helped them all out. I've given them a place to stay. People please; there is not much time; we should go. NOW."
This man is trouble. I'm in trouble. The people are looking in my direction, the last thing I want is that the people think I'm one of these heretics.
"Listen, sir, I'm risking my life right now to save you guys. There is no time. We should go."
Come on. Pleaaaase. Make him believe that.

marzius cut in. "miley, we need to help them," he whispered to his companion before stepping forth, and placing a hand on lumino. "lumino, is your friend alright?" he whispered, risking a glance at alexia. "we need to begin moving immediately. i am going to buy you some time, head to the capital and mention my name to the guards there. i should be able to catch up with you all, but if something happens..."
the mage stepped away from lumino and go closer to the crowd. "friends, countryman! these people were lead astray by a false man!" he cried, waving his hand to the cloak that sergey held. "they are innocents! please, allow them to accompany me to my lord's house. i am in service to the noble house regley, and wish for them to be brought forth to my master. once they are calm, the situation can be better explained to them!"
he began launching into one of the wordy speeches anyone had ever heard. it spoke about pure indoctrination, heretical knowledge, and the good faith. he never mentioned any names besides the etrurian house, but he came off as someone who knew people.

Alexia got a grip on herself, at least enough to talk. "Sergey, we need all the help we can get. If he tries to betray us later, then you can cut his head off. For now, it's better attached," she stated wearily. She quickly looked at Kraft and Miley. "If you want to go with us, that's your choice. It's going to be a hard fight, and it looks like people aren't going to be happy to see us. I can guarantee that we will run into Brad, eventually. He was heading to Ilia though, Miley, you may want to go on your own." Alexia nodded, and quickly mounted Night Flight. Marzius's lengthy speech would only by them so much time.

'So what's the plan, boss? I don't think the Ertrurians are likely to listen too us now.' Sergey said eyeing Kraft's back suspiciously.
