Seeing the biggest threat (Marzius) out of commission, Aeros turned to Lumino, the next big threat. For him, anyway, seeing as the archer and axeman weren't going to do much to him. And of course, the guy had an ice tome. Not much it could do to a Manakete, but they did sting. So why not stop him now?
((Not much, but I should be on tonight.))

Matis heard Katara's warn and quickly noticed Lumino's hand going into his cloak. Definitely not good. But then, he saw something shiny behind the Sage. A lance? He took a good look, and saw Alexia about to knock Lumino out. He had to make that succeed.
Matis kept still. He knew that if he moved, Lumino would probably move as well, as a means of self defense. He had to make him stay in place. If that meant taking a spell full on, he was ready to face his fate. He just hoped Kenshin could kill Hargus. That would end all the suffering, even if only for a while.

"Let's end this here then, shall we?" He said, his hand making the book glow as he seemed to be pulling energy from it.
He formed a small blue ball of light and cast it aside, where it hovered. It was quickly joined by one in front of him and one above him, the three orbs glowing dangerously. Then he called them to him and wove a magic circle in the air. The magics collided and became quite volatile as he prepared to release it.
"Hahahahahahahahahaha!" He laughed, his hand outstretched towards Matis. But before the spell could fly, he was cracked upside the head by Alexia's lance. The force of it sent him flying, hitting the dirt, though the body was tougher then it appeared, his conciousness had not left him yet.
The spell, on the other hand, misfired from Matis and went straight for Aeros high in the sky. The chilling spell threatened to rip through even his mighty scales.
Lumino for his part tried to pull himself off the ground, but that had been quite a devastating blow, and it had left him dazed.

"Good going, Alexia. We need to tie his hands and feet. And fast" he said, while he looked at those remaining. Sain and Albel. Albel was fast, thanks to his horse, and Sain wouldn't be easy to knock out.
Matis moved towards the ex-lord of Ostia. He didn't think he'd be able to tackle the beast in front of him, but he could stall for others to come and bring him down together.

Aeros didn't need the loud sound of the spell or the trembling in the air to know that his target had been the wrong one. The spell was coming fast, and he had a split second to determine which part of him was disposable. Not a fun decision, but he made it. He dived, and then roared in pain as his left wing was shredded-or maybe obliterated was a better word. And blacking out like he did hadn't been part of his plan. But he did, and so he spiraled down to earth, smashing through the roof of one of the larger houses, his ability to fly gone.

(Now thanks to Lumino, I have a reason to post without it being ultimately pointless! Thank you.)
Well, looked like the Little Boy Sage was down and out for it, however this did come at a cost it seemed. Aeros had been struck in one of the wings, before crash landing in a nearby house, wood and glass shattering sent hurling in every direction. A chunk of one of the support beams had struck the cavalier while he focused on watching the battle, sending him off his horse, and into the cold water...
Moments later though, he managed to resurface after grabbing onto the edge of the pier, though his right shoulder was hurt pretty bad... oh well, he had to check on Aeros, who may have been a dragon ( things he had come to hate now), but the manakete was still a comrade of his, so he had to make sure at least the giant beast was still breathing...though he'd leave his horse out of it (incase Aeros was hungry, or fell on it or...something.), as he began climbing through the rubble to get closer.

Katara stared in horror as the ice spell ripped through Aeros. She didn't even know the dragon, yet her heart ached at seeing such destruction dealt to such a mighty and proud being. Then she saw Alexia smash Lumino to the ground. She was about to run at him to pin him down, but decided against it, choosing it was fair to let Alexia finish him off, or do whatever she had planned. So instead, she joined Matis, standing by her lover's cousin, ready to support him. "Tell me what to do and I'll try my best," she told him.

Lunging forward, Alexia jammed the haft of her axe between Lumino legs. The blow clearly wouldn't hurt him, in fact, it would just gouge the dirt. But it would make it fairly hard for him to get his footing, and that had been the point. Alexia then dropped to her knees, letting go of the lance, and reached for Lumino's hands. The idea was to bind him, somehow. For now, she just wanted to prevent him from any instant reaction.
"Sain," barked Alexia, trying to answer Katara's query. While it hadn't been directed at her, Alexia still knew what to do. "Swordmaster to axe, you'll beat him cold. Matis can then use his lance and handle the mounted Sacean. This fight should be ours, as long as we don't get cocky."
Her eyes went to the falling dragon, frowning. Who had that been? Why would a dragon be bothering with this battle between humans? That certainly didn't bode well, and she resolved to check on it once the fight was over.

Katara wondered why she hadn't thought of Alexia's answer before. She turned to face the hulking ex-lord... And prayed that she was fast enough to dodge his attacks. Her mind raced, trying to think of ways to stop him. Still thinking, she jumped towards Sain, aiming the hilt of her sword at his face.

Lumino tried to get up when the axe landed down, making it difficult for him to stand. Which resulted in him falling back down to earth. And then Alexia had his hands in a grip, was she insane?
"You know magic with a direct channel is easier." He said, his hands starting to glow red.
Whatever plan she had, better be a good one.

Sain raised his axe high into the air and charged towards Matis, with his spear drawn. With a roar and a leap he aimed to bring the axe down to cleave his body in twain. The pommel of Katara's sword was knocked away by the barely injured warrior, as he brought the axe down with the weight of a hammer.

OOC: Can't seem to log into Abel's account so this will have to do.
IC: The nomad realized the battle was going badly and decided to put an end to one of the bigger thorns in their side.
"If the blades fall, then victory is assured." He said simply, knocking an arrow and sending it Katara's way.

The captain just looked at the weirdos at the boat.
"Mph. Okay. We have a duty to inspect all ships leaving this harbour. May we suggest you get on our boat? You have a dead man. We would also like to ask some more questions."
He said this in a way that it was very clear they had no choice. The captain then ordered his man to throw some ropes on the smaller ship so that the strangers could climb aboard. He nodded at his first mate. They should get ready. In a way, he still didn't trust these strange men.

Unlike the tip of the lance, it's shaft was made of wood. Seriously, nobody ever thought a lance user would like to have a way to block an attack? Matis rolled to the side to avoid the stronger but somewhat slower lord.
As soon as he stood up he aimed for Sain's side(one of the only parts of his body not covered by armor) and thrust his lance forward. How would he disable someone this big(and undead, to boot)?

"Oh for the love of--," Alexia didn't bother to finish her statement. Instead, she dealt a hefty blow to the back of Lumino's head, hoping to knock the young mage out. By now, she was simply sick of fighting, period, and wanted it all to stop.
Alexia noticed the arrow flying towards Katara, though couldn't do anything about it. Not while she was still subduing Lumino. So she did what she could, extending an arm, yelling, "Katara! Arrow!"
Hopefully that gave the swordmaster enough heads up to do something. If not, well, an arrow usually didn't kill anyone...
