Matthias nodded in response to Kenshin's query, but surprisingly said nothing. He walked over to Cefia, standing nonchalantly by her and observing the Sacean sword fight.
"They're crazy, y'know," he pointed out, motioning towards the two swordsmen. "You won't catch me fighting unless I absolutely have to. Why waste the energy?"
He shrugged. Then he glanced down at Cefia's hands.
"Ouch, that's gotta smart! You should try wrapping that in something..."

"If I wrap it will eventually happen again." "Its not like this sort of thing happens because I'm crazy, its just I'm not strong," Cefia replied depressingly. It was true if she just had more strength to use her axe it would help in situations. Praying doesn't really help in situations either. As for what the guy said about fighting, it was apparent that its sometimes true.
"Do you think I'm better of staying with my family in Etruria instead of becoming a pirate?"

Yaen flinched. Kenshin's words stung, and hit dead on the heart. Why did he have to go there? Then, the red-head sacean charged him, and Yaen was afraid. He wasn't exactly a great swordsman himself, and this other Sacean looked to be much faster and much stronger.
Yaen held up his stick to block the blow, and winced as he felt Kenshin's collide with his. That hurt! The myrmidon skidded back a little, and nearly fell, but managed to stay on his feet. He then ran towards Kenshin, and it almost seemed comical how he nearly stumbled so much. Still, he managed to get there, and wasn't too slow. As soon as he was in reach, he actually just lunged into the older sacean, jabbing his sword forward.

Matthias watched the sparring for a while, Cefia's words rolling through his mind.
"I think....' he winced as Kenshin's blade hit Yaen's, "I think you should do whatever the hell you want to do. It's your life ta life, after all."
He yawned, stretching. Eventually both his hands wound up laced behind his head and he continued to watch the Saceans train, making mental notes for later. Maybe next time he used his sword he wouldn't cut himself...

A lunge, all he needed to do was side step so he did. "Bad idea, your open for" Kenshin swung his stick down at Yean's lower back "THIS"

Myra had been flying a while before finding people she deemed strong enough. When she did, she seemed to have hit the jackpot. Not only were there two insanely battleready people, but they both had bows, and better yet weak companions. One of the strong people looked slightly similar to the villagers she had encountered, in terms of mannerism, slight accent and build. She deemed this man Sacean, and from what she heard while in that now destroyed city, they had an extremely strong sense of honor. Myra stayed in the air, observing all the humans. Especially the Sacean with hair the same color as her's.

Yaen winced as he felt Kenshin's stuck pound him on the back. The poor Sacean boy fell to the ground in a face plant and groaned from the pain. He was right...The red-head was much, much stronger than he was...And he had the red mark on his back to prove it. After a moment, Yaen rolled over and swung out his foot to trip the older swordsman, before scrambling to his feet, holding his sword out in a defensive position.

Cefia was really bored at the moment and slowly began to look around her surroundings to see if anything was wrong. Apparently there wasn't anything off to her upon the ground she checked. Then just as she turned to check the skies for any Pegasus or those Wyvern Riders, but all she ended up was something more surprising. It looked like a girl with wings flying! She must have been going crazy, there was no doubt that she was crazy after all.
"Umm is it just me, most likely just me, but theres something in the air....."

Oh crap. Myra noticed one of the weaklings spot her. She was hoping for more observing time before she was seen. She sighed and landed, still staring at the group.

Kenshin had been watching the girl land and forgot about yaen and was tripped. Letting go of the stick he used both hands to catch himself, standing one hand went to his sword. "Who are you?"

Matthias also tensed. Not so much because a cute little girl had just shown up, but more because a cute little girl had just flown in. By herself. Without the normal pegasus that usually accompanied cute, flying girls.
He held both hands up, and walked towards the girl.
"My unfriendly companion has a point, who are you? An' what the hell are you doin' out here?" he asked, glancing over at Kenshin. Hopefully the asocial Sacean didn't go crazy and start hacking people or challenging them to contests of strength.

"I'm... My name is Myra. As you probably realised, I'm a dragon. I'm being chased down, hunted for no reason but my race. The person hunting me has a legendary lance, and I need someone to protect or hide me. I have nothing to pay." With that last remark, she wasn't expecting much. It was time to test how honorable humans can be.

"Why should we protect you? Why should we trust you? You're the forth dragon i've ran into and two of them attacked my friends and I killed one. He looked like he was around your age too." Letting his hand drift from the hilt to his side "I'll deal with who ever is chasing you if they show. I'm not doing this because I want to play the hero, I'm doing this only because this is what my love would do." Looking at the others that was with him "You can help me or not, my mind is made up."

Yaen was rather busy staring at the girl with disbelief. A dragon? A DRAGON!?! Those things were still LIVING!?! Holy...Sword... The klutzy myrmidon emitted a haltering sound, signifying he was working up the courage to speak. "P-people n-ot blamed fo-or oth-th-ther peopl-le." he squeaked out. "I-if man from an-n-no-nother tribe st-steal o-or kill from your tr-tribe, c-can y-y-y-you bla-ame whole tri-ibe?" he asked. In other words, 'I'm a whimpy swordsman who can't stand up half the time and have a speech impediment, but sure I'll do it.'

So she wasn't going crazy! Cefia was rather disturbed that a dragon asked them to help, but it was a whole lot better then being crazy. However it still bothered her that dragons were still alive. Weren't they supposed to be all be evil or mean? Well the girl that showed up didn't seem like anything what she had heard. Myra as she calls herself seem pretty normal to her, but that was just the cover at least.
"I guess I'll go along and help, through I don't really trust anything," Cefia replied calmly.
