Byron watched as two of the bandits came running towards him. Whether it was in fear or in an attempt to kill him he didn't know but he wasn't about to take chances. He ran backwards as he reached his hand into his quiver and pulled out 2 arrows by accident. He decided to use that to his advantage and strung them both. He aimed poorly and fired. One of the arrows landed a few feet in front of one of the bandit, and the other hit him in the leg. The bandit fell in agony and tried to pull the arrow out. The other one however was still chasing him. Byron kept running backwards as he tried to pull out another arrow, but tripped on a root that was sticking out. Byron fell and the bandit was getting closer and closer.
Ooc: Byron cant see Marcus, hence why he hasn't said anything.

OOC: Umm, I roared, so he probably heard me. IC: "Ow, that bandit put a nice little slash on my stomach." Marcus turned to the bandit he had flamed, growling and showing his teeth. Pure fear flashed into the bandit's eyes as he scurried to get up. Marcus charged forward, mouth open and roaring. The bandit held his arm up in defense, making a perfect target for Marcus' teeth. Marcus latched onto the arm, tearing through muscle first, then bone. Marcus pulled back, noticing he had torn the man's arm clean off. However Marcus had no time to celebrate, for the other bandit was climbing up his tail and onto his back.

Byron head a roar. " What was that???" He had no time to think about it right now. The bandit caught up to him and swung his axe at him. Byron rolled and the bandit struck the ground with his axe. Byron turned over and kicked the bandit's leg and he fell over on the ground. The dust in the dirt rose up and Byron squinted as he looked to draw another arrow. He got up and started running, as he strung the bow. By now the bandit had gotten up and started chasing afteer him with the other one slowly trailing behind. Byron aimed and fired. It was a hit, to the stomach. He gasped for air and fell over. He was bleeding but he wasn't dead Byron kept running but fell again. The other bandit was getting closer. Byron tried to get up but in all his panic he fell down again. The bandit threw his axe at Byron and hit him in leg, cutting his leg. Byron yelled in pain. "Ow, d*** it!" Byron tried to sit up against a tree and started drawing an arrow. The bandit pulled out a knife and charged but clumsily tripped over the same branch Byron did. Byron strung the arrow and shot at the bandits head. It was a hit! The bandit curled up and screamed so loud the all the birds in the trees flew away.
Byron closed his eyes and winced. He took off his satchel and got his rag out. He cleaned the cut the best he could and the tied the rag to his leg with twine. Byron put his satchel back on and closed his eyes. He looked up and saw the other bandit stumbling towards him with his axe. Byron reached for his bow, but it was too late. The bandit kicked it away and swung his axe at Byron.

Marcus rolled over and forced his weight on the bandit. He heard several cracks that didn't com from his own back. The other bandit had slowly gotten up, and with his only arm, slashed at Marcus' belly creating another sizable gash. Marcus howled and rolled onto his feet. Frantically looking around, he saw the other bandit charging at him. He bared his teeth, but was to late. The bandit swung and hit his fangs, cracking two and breaking one. Marcus unleashed more fire and the bandit collapsed, twitched a few times, and lay still. "Time to find, Byron." thought Marcus as he limped off towards the forest.

Byron thought quickly, he reached for an arrow and stuck it out in front him, closing his eyes waiting for death. But, it did not come, instead Byron opened his eyes only to find that he had stabbed the bandit in the neck with the arrow. Byron let go, in astonishment and shock. The bandit fell to the ground and died. Byron sat there on the ground motionless. He looked at the scene gathered before him. Byron grabbed his bow and got up. He noticed the bandit had a bad around his waist. He cut the strap holding it in place and looked inside. It contained a map and some rope. Byron took the map and left the rest, he had to find Marcus. Where ever he was. Byron then got up and went looking for Marcus.

Marcus continued down the path, looking for Byron. "I better find him before somebody kills him." He turned the corner and found himself looking at two dead bodies. Standing above the bodies was Byron, with a very shocked look on his face. Marcus immediately released the energy back into the dragonstone and became human again. "Look, Byron, I can explain!"

"Holy...." Byron's words escaped him as he looked at the dragon. It transformed into... Marcus. "How...?" Byron looked at Marcus in confusion. "So your, a... a... mana.. manakete?" Byron clears his throat, "Well that would explain the roar." You look pretty banged up. You okay?" Byron said as he tightened the rag around his leg.

"I'm pretty banged up actually," Marcus replied. Marcus pulled out his vulnerary and spread some of the medicine on his stomach. The wounds quickly closed up and he put the medicine in his robe. "Yes, I'm a manakete. I'm actually a little surprised myself. Most people see a dragon and wan t it dead right away. It's... calming to see somebody react without violence."

"No, I actually think it's a sight to see." Byron swung his satchel off his shoulder and took out a vulnerary. He took off the rag on his leg and spread some medicine on the cut and put it back in the satchel. Byron tied the rag back on his leg and stood up. he handed Marcus the map. "Here, they had this map in one of their bags." Apparently they aren't based in Sacae. It dosen't mention where they are but there is a pretty big brigand military base in Bern. I figure that's were i'm gonna go next if I'm gonna find the person who killed my parents." Byron looked around at the messy battle. "I don't know where your headed but I need to do this so I guess this is it."

"Me? Personally, I've got no where to go. I'm a drifter. I guess I can follow you for a while." Marcus tucked his wings back into his robes. "Well, we should get moving."

Byron looked at the sky. "I don't think we have time today." The sun was just starting to go down. "I think we should travel a little but soon the sun will set and the real brigands will come out and give us a run for our money." "We'll see how far we get and then decide from there." Byron fixed his satchel and made his way out of the forest.

"I agree. We'll go as far as we can, and then make camp for the night. But trust me when I say they're gonna want revenge." Marcus followed Byron out of the forest. Several hours later, they had gone as far as they could. "We should stop here. Sure we're in the middle of the plains, but its dangerous to travel right now."

Byron looks around. "Hmmmm, I don't believe this is the best idea." Byron looks to his left and spots a few tall shrubs and a nice tree. "There." Byron said ad he pointed towards the tree. That should be a good hiding place for the night." Byron walked over and sat down. "See, cozy."

"Ok, whatever you say." Marcus found a nice soft spot in the grass to lie down in and went to sleep.
Marcus awoke with a fright. Luckily for him he decided no to look around, for after a second, he felt the cold sting of steel on his neck. "Don't move a muscle or I'll slit your throat. It was pretty brutal what you did to my men back there. So now I'm gonna make you and your friend pay. With blood."

Byron slept soundly. Whatever was happening to Marcus, was oblivious to him. Byron rolled around in his sleep but noting too serious. Byron did not snore, or he liked to think he didn't. Astin said he did but he was too Ignorant. Byron was dreaming about Astin, the fun times they used to have together before he left for the military. The more he dreams about him the more he misses him.
