Jiro was about to comment back when the little pegasus girl came flailing back towards them panicked and seemingly distressed by something. When she got back to them Jiro looked up towards the girl. [color=f26522]"Whoa there feathers calm the hell down for a second. A wrecked caravan? That ain't something we can ignore. Especially since it's in our path. Alright then. Matty and Samuel can guard our rear. Silk you got our flanks. Feathers you can make sure there's no aerial units nearby. Me, soldier boy, and Zaku got point. Isabelle stays in the center."[/color] Jiro said as Zaku nodded and took his position next to Jiro. Isabelle was worried about the news but she didn't show it instead she put on a firm face and marched back towards the middle of everyone. [color=f26522]"Alright troop advance!"[/color] Jiro said as he started to jog forward at a steady pace. Not enough to exert himself to much but just enough to make faster progress than what they were making. He also wanted to make sure he didn't overlook anything. He was worried about what they'd find when they got there. When the group arrived at the caravan they noticed the place looked ravaged and pilfered. What was more disturbing was there was burn marks everywhere. Clearly some where by magic as the ground was burnt too but some clearly were lit by torches as three of the four wagons was burnt to the ground. There was also blood near the front and back of the caravan. Whatever had attacked the caravan had done so in a well made assault. And there weren't any trees around...How the hell did they get flanked so bad in a place like this. Jiro kicked a fallen helmet out of the way. It was of Ferox make not Plegia or Ylisse. And it had a nasty smash in the middle of it. [color=fff200]"Oh my god..."[/color] Isabelle whispered as she looked around and saw that somewhat dried blood was everywhere. There was even some inside of the wagon parts that had broken off before they got burnt by whoever was here. [color=0072bc]"Nothing we haven't seen before. Grow up."[/color] Zaku said bluntly as he spit on the ground. [color=f26522]"Cold Zaku...really cold. What I want to know is...where is the bodies? And more importantly why is there still equipment laying about?"[/color] Jiro said as he knelt down to examine a blood trail that went off into the grass. He didn't see anything else. No wild animals could've done this...that meant...[color=fff200]"My guess it was wyvern riders or pegasus knights wasn't it Jiro?"[/color] Isabelle said suddenly as Jiro looked back at her and grinned widely and patted her on the shoulder. [color=f26522]"Yeah that's my guess too Isabelle. Fan out. Search the place for survivors I'm going to check the grass. Zaku try to find out what this caravan was about. You're always good with the names of companies."[/color] Jiro said bluntly as Zaku nodded and started to try and look for symbols or other indicators of who these poor souls were. All over the dirty dirt road there were jewels with dried blood on them, armor and weapons ranging from lances to axes and swords, and even a treasure chest that was hacked open and half the gold was taken out leaving it mostly empty. There were no bodies in the caravans towards the back...or what was left of them. The one in the middle was left untouched though and the smell of blood came heavily from it but there was no blood trails towards it just a big splotch of blood near the back of it. Why it was untouched was anyone's guess. The wagons that were burnt to the ground had some left overs and a skeleton of what they once where but the wood was splintered and broken clearly showing signs of combat.
