Her own people were beginning to irritate Alexia, and she had half a mind to simply put them down then and there. If they couldn't think past the edge of their blade, they were just as dangerous as the spell hurling newcomers. Who was really to decide which side was right anyway?
"What I suggest is incapacitating them!" she yelled. "As I said earlier! Knock them out. Wound them, yes, but instead of dealing mortal blows attempt to weaken them and defeat them that way. If you simply go about killing them how are you any different from them? We are not monsters, not savage killers. We are not murderers. I've seen something like this before, with Matthias. He fought against us, but was purged of the evil influence by a tome of light. We can do the same to these, but not if we kill them."
she turned hard eyes on Katara, whom she was quickly growing to hate. "If you demonize them, you strip them of any humanity, and you might as well commit yourself to evil now. And I swear, if you purposefully kill again I will treat you as the monster you will become."

"Is it just me, or do I never hit anything?" mused Marzius aloud, looking in the direction of his most recently cast spell. "You'd think the most powerful light magic would be more accurate than this. Perhaps I too should consider downgrading my attacks. I think I'll aid Sain."
With that, he lazily raised his hand, palm facing Matis. One quick word, "elfire," and twin balls of flame arched toward the Sacean swordsman.
"After all, it appears as though the dragon is disinterested," he commented, looking skyward and smirking.

The 'dragon', of course, wasn't disinterested in the fight, but instead had gone up to avoid Lumino's Thunder spell. He'd already been injured once, and this guy was definitely of a higher caliber than that wimpy mage in the city. Seeing the Elfire spiraling toward the Sacaen swordsman, he immediately dived within range and let out his own fire, trying to cancel out the spell, and then dove back down to pin Marzius. "I hope you know you're really starting to tick me off," he growled.

OoC: Whose idea is it to use fire to PUT OUT fire? Oh well.
BiC: Contrary to the dragon's intentions, all the fire breath did was strengthen the balls of fire, which now looked more like two meteorites coming his way.
"Damn!" Matis managed to say before jumping out of the way. His coat was caught on fire, which gave him some bad burns on his left arm, just before he could take it off.
"It's not as easy as you try and make it out to be, Alexia!" he shouted at the Paladin. Sure, she had a good point, but if it came down to his life or that of a resurrected puppet, he wouldn't hesitate.
He picked up his lance again and resumed his fight with Sain. How would he knock down a man who was almost twice his size?
OoC: Ken, post once you can. I can't simply ignore Sain and go for someone else. And I can't keep just dodging invisible attacks.

Katara muttered under her breath, "I'm just trying to see tomorrow." However, heeding the paladin's advice, she took out her leather gloves and grabbed her sword by the blade. Trying to take Marzius by surprise while fighting Matis, she swung the hilt of her sword at the mage, aiming for the back of his head.

Odd...
Rayl just rode on through that little battle and save for a few burns from the heat he had been basically left alone...not that he wasn't glad, but still...oh well he did all he really could dropping his sword near that orange haired sacaen, before riding right on back to the boat with a shrug to explain what had happened to the others...but sadly the boat was already out quite a distance away and therefore out of earshot, so he simply shrugged it off and turned back to ride around the battle again to find a way pop out of a place, as apparently they were now going incapacitate them instead of kill them...you know, that one woman was a good rider...and pretty to boot...
...oh god, he was thinking like Crowley now...

Since everyone appeared to be trading fighting partners easily enough, Alexia opted to do the same. She also suspected that she would have the best chance at incapacitating Lumino. After all, being hit by magic several times had allowed her to build up an immunity to most of its effects. Again she wished for her armor though.
For now, she shifted her horse, and shifted to put both hands on her lance. Then she swung it in a manner that would later be recognized as a baseball player's swing. Her hope was to catch Lumino with the heavy haft on the head, rendering the youngster unconscious.

"Oh hell," cursed Marzius. The dragon would take an interest just as Marzius shifted targets. He couldn't help but wonder what happened to the several high-powered light spells he'd sent that way. Probably missed, like all his others had.
He did watch as his elfire grew and he smiled as it burned Matis. He'd then raised his hand to finish the Sacean...
when he got hit on the back of the head. hard.
"Ouch!" he spat, stumbling forward and dropping his book. Both hands went to the back of his head, rubbing at the sudden sore spot. That had certainly hurt a good deal, but was a far cry from the lethal blow he'd been expecting. Turning, he looked at Lumino's Sacean, who had apparently just hit him. "Oh you've got to be kidding. You're actually listening to that self-righteous paladin? Please, if you're not going to commit, why bother attacking?'
With that, he brought out the light tome, smiled, and fired off his spell.

Hearing the girl on the horse speak as if she cared about them angered Sain more. Slowly swinging his axe he gave Matis more then enough time to prepair to block it, and as soon as he did his off hand drove towards his chest grabbing him. With a turn of his body he threw Matis at Alexia with great force. "You are showing care for us now? YOU ARE SHOWING CARE FOR US NOW! WHAT ABOUT WHEN WE DIED. NONE OF YOU KNEW I WAS DEAD TILL TODAY. IGNORING THE ONES YOU CALL FRIENDS ARE THE TRUE MONSTERS."
Sain walked over to Lumino and raised him by the shirt. "Forget about that girl you've been fighting. The one on the horse acts as if we were their closest friends yet was nowhere to be found when we met our end." He threw Lumino to the ground after speaking to him with anger. "My family died for them for nothing. They only care about us after they let us die, they all will pay at the same time by all of us."

Albel knew that the older mage would meet his end if he kept missing and fighting a dragon. Raising his bow he took a shot at the dragon. Hearing Sain yelling at the paladin then have some words with Lumino he turned his head. "Leave the meaningless words with each other till after they're all dead. Let them fight against each other as well as us, don't be reduced to normal Lycians and Bernese."

Lumino hit the ground, thankfully sparing him from Alexia's attack.
"Agreed, no more words, unless those words are their screams!"
He then outstretched his hand towards Alexia and let the frozen winds come forth once again. Now his face was stone with no emotion. Like a sense of duty.

Matis managed to break the fall just in time to not hit Alexia, using the Steel Lance as a brake by plunging it into the ground. He then saw the young wizard move his hand towards Alexia. At such close distance, if Alexia were hit, she probably wouldn't be able to resist it. Not without her armor, at least.
Being close enough thanks to Sain's throw, Matis made the run towards Lumino and jumped at full speed towards the mage, aiming to tackle him. If this worked, the spell could maybe be stopped just in time. If not, he'd be VERY susceptible to almost any kind of attack from either sage or great lord.

The lesser light spell hit Katara hard. She wasn't used to dealing with magic, it rarely hit her. She reeled back, breaking her fall with both arms to avoid shattering her wrists. She had to stop this man. Like gears in a fine tuned machine, Katara's mind began to formulate a plan. She charged at Marzius and full speed and threw herself at him, one arm at her waist and the other balled into a fist aiming for the mage's face. As soon as she made contact, she pulled out the drawstring on her skirt, grabbed the mage's hands, and bound them together.

Well, it seems as though Alexia was attracting all the attention. Which would be a good thing, were she actually wearing her armor. As it stood, she'd have to rely on her natural stamina, which was incredibly high, to stay upright.
"I cared each time someone died," she spat at Sain, eyes narrowing. "I don't even know who you are, to speak to me in such a fashion. I never met you, and still I don't want to kill you. Try your insults on someone else, knave."
She could only brace herself as Lumino's attack ripped over her. The shards tore at her flesh, damaging the leather armor as well. Pain echoed throughout Alexia, but she quashed the urge for now.
She jerked her lance around, flailing with the shaft to Lumino. He still posed the greatest threat of the group, and had done the most damage. She did manage to work around Matis, and wouldn't hit him without outside influence.

Lumino was indeed tackled by Matis, which saved him from the thrust of Alexia's lance. But now he was pinned under a raving nomad, who was currently armed and he couldn't do magic easily from the position he was in. Well, maybe there was a way to it.
"Ooof!" He grunted as he hit the hard stone. "Let's...see if you are as lucky as Alan was..." He said, his Fire tome starting to glow red.
"I'll trade you, a life for a life." He said with a grin, nothing like the magic bomb trick again.
