As they approached the castle the unmistakeable sounds of war reached them. 'Darn it, they started without us!' Alan muttered. Then they got a clear view. The sky ws clouded with floks of wyvern riders and a small number of pegasus riders, at the ground the battle was much more even but the Bern army had bought balista's which the Santuraz soldiers couldn't match.

Ballitas? And look at all those flyers... What the hell have I gotten myself into? Lyndsey tightly gripped her lance, and surveyed the area, looking for a likely target. She saw a pegasus rider get clipped by a lucky shot from an archer. Switch to Javelin, and throw. Yes! The spear pierced the rider, and Lyndsey watched as she tumbled out of the sky.
Unfortunately, Lyndsey's attacked alerted the Bernese troops to her and Alan's position. Several broke off and headed towards them.

OoC: some of the pegasus riders are on our side.
BiC: The wyvern rider flew straight for them, but were taken by suprise when they saw that Alan charged right. 'I don't have time for this!' Alan set his lance right in front of him and ran straight through the flyers, kiiling two by the time he came out on the other side. Not stopping to look back, he continued his course toward the gate where the ground battle was raging.

You've got to be kidding me, Lyndsey thought as she maneuvered around the battlefield. Alan might be able to run through several wyvern riders, but Lyndsey'd run into one and fall. Really far. She darted underneath one, throwing a javelin up at its underside. She ducked the creature's tail, and kicked her pegasus, getting the mount to follow Alan.

Alan soared past Alan soared past the line where the most causlities fell, releaving the Santuraz Soldiers for an instant. Then he landed and engaged a fellow Wyvern Lord. His opponent was proficient qith both the sword and the lance and Alan knew that he would be occupied for some time.

Lyndsey followed Alan, quickly figuring out his strategy. She flew over the troops, searching for the inevitable mage line that armies always had. She found them, nestled in the back next to a few archers. Risking arrows, she dove down, and scooped up a mage. She bore him high, then let him fall, enjoying the sound he made as he landed on others.
A wyvern rider confronted her in the air, nicking her pegasus with a well aimed spear thrust. Lyndsey dove under him, throwing a javelin up onto his belly. As she flew out from under him, another rider bore down on her, his wyvern clawing at her armor. Cursing, she threw another Javelin, this one connecting with the rider, who tumbled from his saddle.
I kill one and four more pop up, she thought as she nearly ran into another rider. They were protecting their mage line, and that was never good...

The enemy Wyvern Lord had been deafeated. Alan briefly wondered at the manner he had accomplished this, he was sure that his neck was exposed at the final clash yet his opponent sought to cut through his Wyvern's wing. The more ambitious aim gave Alan the quicker strike... But Alan forced the matter out of his head as he saw that Lyndsey was under attack. With a sudden fury he raced at the enemy.

Alan's charge distracted the riders enough that Lyndsey was able to escape their direct vicinity. She maneuvered so that Alan and she pincered the riders. Smiling, she gripped her slim lance tightly, and charged the closest rider.
She managed to take him by surprise, and her impact jarred the rider out of his seat. The impact did jar Lyndsey a bit, and she had to grip tightly on her pegasus to stop from falling off. The three remaining riders tried to split their attention between the crazy pegasus rider and the deadly wyvern lord.

(OoC: I'm going to cut this party short, before Kenshin messes Arston up too bad.)
Lyndsey's mercenary friends had arrived and suddenly the Bern soldier found themselves at a disadvantage. Alan killed two more of their air cavalry and was turning his attention too the foot soldiers who knew that they had to retreat.

The influx of reinforcements allowed Lyndsey free range of the units she'd wanted to kill the whole time. Smiling, she charged into the mage line, skewering a monk on her slim lance. While down there, she scooped up another mage, ignoring several fire balls that scorched her and her mount, and rose into the air. She aimed carefully, and let the mage fall on top of a shaman.
The mage line knew they couldn't hold out against Lyndsey, and things grew worse as the pegasus unit of the mercenary band arrived.

Juchack reached Alan who had stopped to catch a breath. 'We came as fast as we could, we was fearin' we were going to be late after all.' he said glumly. 'Me and Lyndsey are probably needed else where. I'll leave this place in your hands, Juchack.' Alan flew to the castle where he met Lord Yeo, who was like Alan covered in blood having led the defense from the front. 'Alan, we won the battle. Come let's head out and crush them!' 'I'm sorry, but I can't stay. I enlisted the help of a few mercs. i don't know if I can trust them. Leave the remaining fight to them, we might need your help some other time, old friend.' Alan flew up and waited for Lyndsey to join him before setting out to see what had become of the others.

Confused and exhausted, Lyndsey flew up to join her captor. "We're not... going to the village, are we?" she asked, looking in that direction. At least she'd taken the time to get a cleric to fully heal her and her pegasus, but that didn't make her any less exhausted.

'I'd feel pretty bd if I was already taking my beauty seep while the village is burning, so yes. We're going, and let's be quick about it.' Alan flew off again.

Lyndsey kicked her newest mount into motion, following Alan. The man has a death wish. I should be flying the opposite direction she thought, but she continued behind the wyvern lord anyway.
