Merio gasped as Kelvin's lance was knocked out of his hand, and then Merio realized that it was going a bit high in the air. He grabbed the lance and threw his sword down. "Brother! Use this!" Merio then took the lance and stabbed the mercenary. It went through his arm, and the mercenary replied with a strike toward the head. The cavalier blocks it with his arm, and is hit by the bandit next to him.
What will Sir Rayl say to us when he sees us like this?

Kelvin caught the sword, giving it a little twirl. The axeman who had tackled him was now getting up and turned toward him. The axeman leaped and Kelvin easily dodged his novice tactic, slashing across the back as he passed by. The battle was becoming tiring and Kelvin's vision began to blur slightly. The axeman who had been kicked slowly got up, still moaning in pain. Kelvin stabbed him in the stomach, but his proximity to the bandit. The bandit used his last moment to show Kelvin what it felt like to be kicked in the crotch. Kelvin fell to the ground, hoping Merio wasn't looking.

Merio aims his lance, and drives it straight into the mercenary's chest. The man falls, but the bandit isn't giving up. This is too much, a lance can't do much against a brigand... He looks down to see if his brother was alright, just in time to see the brigand kick Kelvin in the place where it matters the most. "God damn it, brother!"
Merio, seeing his brother in pain like that, snaps. He jumps down the hole, crashes at the bottom, and stabs the bandit in the shoulder. The bandit above shouts in anger, his enemy just got away, right under his nose! The other bandit, however, loses focus on Kelvin and starts fighting Merio. I'm not going to last long if I keep getting hit...

Saffra had continued to trudge down the road at a slowed pace, but not nearly as slow as the pace Rayl and his men were taking miles behind. For awhile now, nothing had caught her interest, until she laid eyes upon a house. The building as deceptively larger than she thought it may have been. it wasn't uncommon, Saffra had seen them all the way down the road for some time now, but this was a little further off the given path, so she had almost not seen it.
Quickly, she stopped in place as she heard people, like with other families, they were in their houses or barns at this time of day, but this was...different...there were cries of outrage and pain, with the sound of metal ringing. In her ears, it sounded like the village in Eturia, where she had used her birthright to destroy lives.
Saffra hesitated for a moment, thinking she should not get involved, but the people may need help from break in burglars. Without a moment's more hesitation, Saffra sped off in a gallop, her powerfully muscled legs pumping until she came up aside the rather quaint looking building, and gave a loud growl that would certainly be heard from outside, like a predator.
With powerful claws, she grasped at the roof of the building, and tore the wooden framework easily off, and looked at all the little creatures that were inside, living and dead. Saffra gave a fierce snarl and allowed smoke to stem up from her nostrils eying the obviously wicked men. These men were cowards, fighting in such number against two men.
Saffra then reached inside, and swatted at the men closest to both Merio and Kelvin, tossing them outside of the building a few feet, whether they survived the toss or not, well, that wasn't the matter. The rest, she gave a terror-gripping, not to mention an almost deafening roar to the rest, hoping that would send the rest packing.

Merio tried to stab the bandit, but the slower lance was easily deflected by the bandit's axe. After the shot was deflected, the bandit aimed right for his head. Suddenly, the roof above them was torn, and a giant dragon was visible. The bandit tries to run, but the dragon tossed him out of the house as if the bandit was last night's sandwich that had been left out in the sun.
Merio is terrified, and Kelvin... oh boy... The cavalier helps his brother up, and looks at the dragon. "W-why did you n-nnot attack us-s?"

As her complexion cleared up, she no longer looked ferocious, intimidating? Sure, she was a dragon oh great height and strength of course. with a powerful flap of her wings, she effectively hopped up, and as she went over the building's roofless area, she transformed back into her pleasant self, fluttering down on her bluish, almost purple wings, and settled infront of the two hurt men. She gave them a once over thoughtfully and smiled brightly, with a little hint of danger. She didn't know who they were yet, afterall.
"It really is unsightly when men have to prove their strength in numbers, especially in surprise advantage like that, that's for sure."
She caught Merio's eyes with a glance of her own yellow once, and then began producing a vulnerary.
"Come, boy, lets get you and your friend fixed up, I'll take you back to Sir Rayl to see what he will do with you and your companion.."

Merio jumped a little after hearing Rayl's name. "Aha! You're with Sir Rayl, and a manakete, too. Um... Kelvin! Kelvin!" He kicks Kelvin on the arm, but he doesn't stir. "I guess it was too much for him, he's knocked out. Anyways, I'm Merio and he's my brother, Kelvin. We've assigned to Rayl's division. We decided to stay here until the rain passed, but there were bandits here, and... Thanks for helping us."
Merio dragged Kelvin outside, and then set him on the back of his horse. Merio took both horses by their reins and turned to Saffra. "Where is Rayl right now?"

To this, Saffra gave a sort of half-hearted shrug. She didn't really know how far back Rayl was, but she peeked out the door after giving Merio one of her vulneraries. her hair was already matted from the rain, so it would be of little consequence. Looking up and down the road, she gave a point of her finger, not like he would be able to see it.
"He's a few miles down the road, I was ahead scouting for a place they could camp. A few hundred meters before coming to this house was a good place, I belief, not a lot of underbrush, but enough spaced trees to settle down at and put up tents and the like."
She looked back at Merio with a cold, almost impatient stare. For someone so wounded, he didn't seem like he wanted to save his own life, and Saffra wasn't keen on having someone bleed out after she saved them.
"Fix yourself up, and your brother, You two will ride back with me to meet Sir Rayl."

Merio nodded, and began applying the medicine on his wounds, and then began treating his unconcious brother. He then turned to Saffra. "Alright. It looks like we'll be fine. However, it's best to get these wounds treated properly. Let's go."

Kelvin woke up to pain, lots of it. He sat up a little bit and noticed his brother applying a vulnerary to his wounds. Then he noticed the woman standing there. She looked somewhat young and had wings sprouting from her back. "Wow, a manakete. They really do exist," Kelvin thought to himself. "So who's this," he said aloud.

As Kelvin woke up, Saffra gave him a little bit of a smile, and placed her hands on her hips. She gave a brief shake of her head, getting the wetness a little bit out of the strands that clung to her face.
"Ah, you're awake, good, I didn't want to have to carry you."
Saffra gave a flat look towards Merio and Kelvin as she motioned them outside when they were done fixing their wounds. if they followed, she pointed down the roadway she had come from, and then began moving towards the spot about 500 or 600 meters away.
"Come now children, let us begin on our way. Sir Rayl will be there in around...15 minutes or so, perhaps more, by now, lets not make him wait."
[Continuing onto Rayl's Thread when you have both replied.]

Merio looks at Kelvin. "This is Saffra. She works with Sir Rayl. We'll head out there, but I doubt we'll reach them. We'll probably get stuck in mud, or something. Well, looking at your riding, I wonder if it's better to leave you unconcious."
Merio lets go of Kelvin's horse reins, and starts walking toward Rayl.
