Kenshin rode as fast as the horse could run, he wanted to be there before it ended. Kenshin didn't want Alan to die and he wanted to help defeat the dragon.

Flying was much, much, MUCH faster then riding a horse. Kenshin had made it a quarter of the way when Alan went out of sight. He wasn't sure how much of a lead Alan had on leaving but it helped, a lot.

Kenshin was passing a village as he noticed the horse slowing down. Turning the horse towards the village he dismounted and tired the horse to a nearby tree. "Rest buddy, you deserve it getting us here this fast." He then patted the horse on the back petting it a bit. Turning he was greeted by one of the villagers. "What tribe are you from young man." An older man had asked him. "I'm from the Wind Tiger tribe sir."
"The Wind Tiger? Rumor has it they died a while back. Bandit routed them all, it was said none survived. What's your name son?" "I am Kenshin, son of the cheiften of the Wind Tiger, Kalaruth. During the attack myself and my cousin Matis were able to make an escape with the aid of a man from Lycia. Did you happen to see a man fly over head going towards Bern recently?" The man thought for a second then responded. "Well I'm glad to hear that you weren't the only one to make it out, but I do feel sorrow for what happened. Why don't you stay a bit you look wore out. Yes a man did fly by an hour or so ago."

Kenshin had spent an hour there, he was invited to eat dinner with the man and his wife. They talked most of the time, just about the what's been going on with the Hanon situation and the reactions of most Sacaens. Finding the horse grazing on the grass in the shade he walked up and pet it. "Time to go buddy." Untying it he climbed up top and got ready to leave, looking at the man and his wife he nodded his head. "Thanks for having me over and letting me rest here."
"Are you SURE it was him?"
"Ye...Yes sir, our sources said he went into Sacae and the one that flown above us had to be him, our wyvrns feared flying towards him."
As Kenshin rode he had ran into a small platoon of solders from Bern. They heard the sounds of his horse running and turnned with weapons drawn. As he brung the horse to a stop he was surrounded. He dismounted from the horse as the leader spoke up.
"What's your name and your reason for being here. Also why did you get off of your horse."
"Why does the name of a simple nomad matter? You guys are armed and weapons drawn towards myself, I may have to defend myself from your attacks."
"Sir that's that scum that slain Archavious. I'll never forget that look he had in his eyes when he did it too."
"Archavious eh? A might fine solder. Wait a second, the king was looking for two people. Alan and the Sacaen that fought in Santaruz, both shows great deal of strength and skill."
Before the man could say anything else he drew his bow and shot at one man in the air, barely grazing his arm. The second the arrow left the bow he drew his Wyrmslayer.

Bern, the last place she had been seen before having made a return to Ilia. Life of a mercenary trying to help out her home city was a busy one, however in the mid-air she noticed a fairly unpleasant sight on the ground below her. A red haired man entirely surrounded by what she assumed to be soldiers of some sort. Allegiance was something that mattered little to her… what she happened to see was one man surrounded and weapons were now drawn.
Twirling her spear she pressed her legs into Ayriss’s side. “We’re helping…” Persephone’s flaw of being unable to deny help of those she saw needing it.
Swooping down the Pegasus Knight locked onto one of the targets, lifting her slim weapon and throwing it directly at one of the men surrounding Kenshin. "Persephone of Ilia, at your assistance..." She said simply before preparing another attack.

"There's no time for introductions, just fight."
"Kill the girl if you have to, our orders were to bring the red headed Sacaen with the scar from Santaruz and Alan alive."
There was the leader and fourteen men, which 7 of them were on foot and the rest were on Wyrvens. Kenshin took off towards the nearest solder. Shifting his weight he dodged the lance that was thrust towards him, swinging his sword the man jumpped back dodging the blade.

“Understood…” Persephone wasn’t thrown by the man’s stern behavior, she had just felt it necessary to at least exchange name if she was to be allying with a particular person. Turning her attention back to them she held the slim spear with a serious expression crossing her face. Wyvern riders of Bern… figures. Spinning her spear she took to the air using to strike out at the Wyvern Rider. What chance was there for victory? Slim… but if a warrior was to go down it was to go down doing something honorable at least.
Take out those already seen injured and reduce number of attacks. I have a few vulnerary on me... should last for a bit.

The girl had engaged one of the soldiers, it didn't look too well for her. Kenshin couldn't provide support her since he was too fighting at the moment. Dropping the blade into the ground he drew his Wo Dao nearly sliceing the man's arm off.
OoC:You know you don't have to wait for me.

Persephone’s stared at the seven wyvern riders, being surrounded wasn’t her intention but the fact was there were simply more of them then her. Such riders were said to be stronger then any of Ilia’s Pegasus Knight, which may have been true but they still had weaknesses. Unfortunately Persephone wasn’t the one to deliver such crippling blows. She had managed to at last manage finally strike again, causing one of the riders to drop down… Still there were six of them, only one her.
From behind she felt a spear suddenly scrape across her side. Her eyes widening as she moved to shield the wound…
It was too late. As Kenshin may have foreseen she was overwhelmed in the air. The second rider turned its attention to her, moving to avenge the single injured comrade. Persephone took a spear from the back that had ripped right through her armor and into her stomach.
“…Sorry..." Was all she could muster before slumping forward, losing balance and her body dropping to the ground. The Pegasus knight had been killed.

He had been outnumbered since the get go, now that girl had fallen in combat he was alone. Even though they were still outnumbered he atleast had somebody to engage the fliers as he could fight the ones on the ground then provide cover by firing arrows at them. Without help or a miracle he was going to lose. He remembered them talking before he took a shot at one of them. They said something about capturing Alan and himself alive. Jumping back so he wouldn't be in range to be impaled by the lance he spoke.
"If you want me to go peacefully then agree to this." He looked at the leader as he nodded to his men to lower their weapons for a minute. "Duel me, one on one. If I win you guys never saw me, that girl dove upon you guys as you were resting and died because of it. If I lose I'll with you without a fight." The leader had landed and got off of Wyvren drawing a sword. "Know what that sounds like a great idea, to make it fair I'll fight you on the ground. Lose all of your other weapons then I'll agree."
Kenshin had put his Wo Dao away and started to get all of his other gear off and walked towards his Wyrm Slayer and put it all together. Only thing he was holding onto was the Wo Dao, he even took his travel pack off which held his rations, elixers, map, and compass. All the others had created a circle around the two so Kenshin couldn't try to make an escape.

The man had slammed the end of his lance into the ground making it stand up on it's own then drew his blade. Kenshin lowered himself getting ready to move in and make an attack. "He's on the ground in all that armor, he's not going to be nearly as fast as I am. One advantage there, I know I'm skilled but I'm not sure about him but he is one in power so he has to be. On the other hand he fights up top a wyvren so I'm not sure if he's as good on foot. It's now or never, the only thing I've got to lose is my freedom."
Kenshin had charged towards him, a quarter of the way there he drifted to his right trying to circle around him. The man done something he didn't expect, pulled his lance from the ground and threw it at Kenshin, dropping to the ground and sliding towards him was the only way to avoid all attacks. Before Kenshin knew it he was near by swinging the sword downward at him. Rolling backwards barely avoiding the attack, the second his feet were flat on the ground he sprung towards him swinging his sword. The man had blocked the attack with the armor on his forearm.

Spinning around him Kenshin blocked a strike. The man used one hand and pushed downwards towards Kenshin who could barely keep it away from him using both hands. He had slugged Kenshin in the left check knocking him backwards causing his eye to swell up, before he could move too far the man grabbed Kenshin by the shirt "YARRRRRRRHHH" he screamed, turning around and throwing him. Landing with a thud and a few rolls Kenshin mumbled something as he started to get up. "Boy the price of freedom is a steep on." Looking up he saw him charging towards him getting ready for a kick.
Putting one palm on the dull end of the blade and holding tight he used his sword to block the attack and nearly cut to the bone on the man's leg. Using that to his advantage he backed up. The man feel to one knee and could only wait for Kenshin to attack. Kenshin and started a full sprint towards him as the man stuck his sword in front of him in hopes of Kenshin impaling himself. As he got to where the sword was it was as if he had dissipated, only his image fading as it hit the blade. A flash from Kenshin's sword striking the back of his armor it was sliced in half and barely scratching him.(That's Kenshin's new melee crit) His depth perception had been off causing him to miss the killing blow.
"Hohoho this is a first, being bested in a duel you have my congrats." The second Kenshin's blade was put away he was surrounded with spears pointed at him. "But one thing I forgot to tell you, I'm not a man of my word." Kenshin had been captured by this group of Bern soldiers and there was nobody to help him.
