     It wasn't funny, but deciding against going to Hyznia turned out to be incredibly fortunate for the Divers, and very unfortunate for the CMAS. Having any sort of social standing above Divers, who cherished freedom, took more than just organizational skills and charisma.

     It took power, that vagabonds and wanderers could respect. That pillar was several meters thick. These CMAS magi were not. Even without using a flaming pillar for ammunition, cutting through several groups of foes at a time was a breeze; the hard part was not injuring the Divers in his wake. It was why he told them to converge towards the center. As the Divers forced themselves away, he only became deadlier, taking down dozens upon dozens of them. Eight hundred CMAS, especially mixed with the officers who were more used to leading and strategy than true combat, was a tough fight, but it wasn't impossible for Alvios to handle; just tedious, especially with having to worry about catching other Divers with the Ki waves from his blade. The lack of Luke was also making this far more difficult, as now he had to make the decision between helping the Divers fighting in the center, and defending the southeastern pillar.

     He let loose a heavy sigh of frustration, and carved his way through towards the central square. His mind wandered as he made his presence further known, the CMAS who were trying to organize themselves against Par's formation lost their own in fear and chaos, the Head Diver showing that he didn't need a massive pillar to make a massive impact against their numbers.

     [color=darkviolet][i]If this place falls, we can always rebuild; it's more important to protect the Divers now. Who knows... maybe I'll be able to pick out the traitor once this fight is over. Good thing I waited on Tinon's little errand; without Luke or myself here, this place would already be history. Tinon's timing couldn't have been worse... just like the timing of this...[/i][/color] Alvios' mind hesitated, but he shook it off. This fight was getting to him. He had no right to suspect Tinon of anything...right?
