"Hello, the name's Matis", he said, waving at Aerious, Crowley and his gang.
"That's the thing, actually. We were coming from Ilia, on our way to Santaruz, along with these Pegasus Knights, and a couple of mercenaries. The latter were a 'gift' from Ilia's high counselor, who tried to help us. Apparently, they were simply a group sent to kill us off once we had left Ilian ground. That way, no one could blame the high counselor for the acts of these guys, since they were not in Ilia anymore. Or so I guess." he stopped to catch some breath.
"I fear the high counselor might be one of Hargus' underlings, or at the very least, be allied with him. I have to stop him. We don't want another enemy springing out of nowhere, and pincering us. The thing is, though, we still have to make our way to Santaruz. Zeiss volunteered to do that. I was hoping we would meet someone there, since that's where we had agreed to meet once we had finished our tasks."
"Sergey...dead? I didn't get to know him much really, other than he was allied with Lyndsey to try and take me down. Still, he didn't seem like the weak type. What happened? And...things didn't go that smoothly. Once we reached the Nabata-Lycia border we were attacked by hundreds of bandits. Brad got lost in the fight, and Dray'Gon, after going berserk and burning down almost half the army, was left without energy. He headed back to Arcadia. Then, Lyndsey tried to kill me, as I had expected, but Alan managed to stop her. He took her somewhere with him, and I haven't seen them since."

Aerious's eyes snapped to attention. Dray'Gon? He had heard that name a few times before...but he wasn't sure where. Either way he didn't want to let on too much yet. The other names that were mentioned, Alexia, Brad, Lyndsey, Alan, Matis. Only a handful of people involved so far, but they seemed so confident in their abilites...

He doesn't have wings like dray'Gon, but that's pretty common. If he's hiding it, it may be a while before I will see his Dragon form. But i must make sure he gets in my travelling group. Choosing his words carefully Zeiss spoke. 'Matis, I still think that one of those pegasus knights might in collusion with them. You can't be too sure, Matthias can you spare a few people?'

Crowley waved at the group.
"Howdy." He smiled and showed his horrible teeth.
"Some call me Crowley blackmouth. But you can call me Crow." He smiled once again. He loved shocking people.
"So, who wants to throw some dice?"

'Nice to meet you too, I guess.' Zeiss said unconvincingly, with his eyebrows half raised.

Aerious just sighed. What sort of people did they get involved with? The Zeiss fellow had been eyeing him, and he had pretended he didn't notice. But something about that Shaman bothered him.
"Well, if we need to split up, we need to know exactly what has happened since the last time you two spoke, yes?" Aerious asked, gesturing to Matthias and Matis. "And also, if one group is heading to Santaruz, and one back to Ilia, wouldn't it make sense for the people who were originally in Ilia to go back that way? After all, they know you."

"Yeah, but they're walkin' inta a fight," Matthias smirked. "I've already had some experience fightin' these heroes, it make sense for me to head that way..." He looked around. "And I think you want a piece of that action, don't you Aerious?" he asked the Ostian. "An' I think the kid here should go with the mercs back to Santaruz. Crow can help out too. Hell, if Zeiss tagged along they'd be sure to avoid any trouble." "But that's just me," the scruffy ranger shrugged. "Oh, and uh... Sergey was killed of by a traitor. Some thief named Kraft. Keep an eye out fer him, he'll be trouble at some point."

"I would definatly want to go and find out what is behind these damn ghosts of the past." Aerious said, clenching his fist. "So you think it should be you, Me and Matis going to Ilia, while Zeiss, this kid, and Crowly go to Santaruz?"

"No way! You don't need many people to go to Santaruz, and even if I go, I'm only eleven, nobody would listen to me... Cause that's what you're doing now..."

Matis just looked at Crowley while he introduced himself and his friends, while still listening to the whole conversation.
"Hmm...I call for voting. We won't get anywhere otherwise. I don't know what we'll be up against in Ilia, but we also don't know if Santaruz has been taken either. I think we should evenly divide our forces. Can they fight?" he asked Matthias, motioning to Aerious, Crowley and co. "Until I know that much, I won't give my input. I AM definitely going back to Ilia, though."

Aerious was stuck in a conundrum here...he could fight, but he wasn't going to brag or show off his power, and he was practically worthless with the sword, he just carried it around for show. But he needed to go to Ilia, Roland was already dead, so there were no heroes in Lycia.
"Wait...Roland was killed, so why do you need to go to Santaruz? Shouldn't the first course of action be eliminating the heroes?"

"We need ta strengthen the places that are on our side. Bern's been hammerin' Lycia hard lately, an' we need ta help them while we can. 'sides, that's what the mercs are for," Matthias scratched his stubble. "As for their fightin', Crow's a good merc, he needs some more battle experience though. If he fights with the mercs in Santaruz he should be good. Aerious jus' joined up... so I dunno. He really wants ta kill the heroes though, an' that's sayin' somethin'." He looked over at Ralph. "I'm all for keepin' the kid away from heroes. I've seen a hero gut full grown men, hell, Sergey died fightin' one. Ralph, you get somewhere near one an' you won't live ta get laid."

"You think I don't know that?! I already fought Roland before, I was lucky to dodge his attack before Athos teleported us. I don't want to go back to fight a hero and become famous like you! I want to become stronger! If I go to Santaruz, it would be the same as going to Ilia, only the hero would equal the force of all Bern." Bill looked at Ralph reasoning even though he was a we lad.

"We killed Roland already kid, pay attention," Matthias explained. "Me and this dragon that showed up. Oh, an' Crow threw a rock at him." He crossed his arms. "So it's a choice between safety an' danger. Sorry kiddo, but yer still too young."
