Servus has gotten his fool self mixed in with the Jehannan troops and was now marching with them, completely surrounded. Why did she actually expect anything from him? [color=9e0b0f]"Your human really is an idiot."[/color] She told Amboli. Fortunately, it seems her choice of waiting was the correct one. The person she could sense the Fire Emblem from was just on the other side of the wall and coming this way. The Manakete didn't even try not to feel smug about that. The question now was were they friend or foe? The answer seemed obvious. The Cavalier and Wyvern Rider wore the colors of Grado, and bore arms and armor in similar style. They appeared to be fleeing while Jehenna's forces were attempting to stop them. Surely that spoke to their credibility? Still, Kara wasn't sure if she was ready to trust them or not. Trust or no, they were about to be overrun with foes and Kara knew Jehanna was after the stone and for that reason she needed to keep it away from them at all costs. Nothing good ever came when humans lusted after the Sacred Stone. History had taught that much. With an extra flap of her wings, Kara propelled herself above the wall. But she paused, drifted back down, and looked down at Amboli. [color=9e0b0f]"Go find your errant human, little cousin. Things might be going to hell soon."[/color] She told the wyvern, before half flying half vaulting over the wall around Grado's castle town. [color=9e0b0f]"You there! Cleric!"[/color] She called with a loud and commanding voice, as she glided down next to Titana. [color=9e0b0f]"You have the Fire Emblem in your possession yes? Don't bother answering, I can sense it's power."[/color] She continued on running over any response. [color=9e0b0f]"I am a Manakete. You may call me Kara."[/color] She declared. [color=9e0b0f]"And I have a vested interest in keeping that Stone out of the wrong hands."[/color] She narrowed her eyes. [color=9e0b0f]"Including yours, if they happen to be such. But here we common enemy. So for now, consider me an ally."[/color] She paused and added as an afterthought. [color=9e0b0f]"Oh, I came here with a thief who is...somewhere and an idiot wyvern rider who has left behind his wyvern on some hair-brained plan and is now mixed in somewhere with the enemy. …you may kill him if you wish.[/color] She turned to study the rest of the sorry-looking band. A cavalier, another wyvern rider (wonderful), and a little further back, a Mage, probably a Shaman, judging by his choice of get-up. Standing next to the cleric were the knight and lancer who were originally here. Her tail flicked. She raised an eyebrow. [color=9e0b0f]"Is this all of you?"[/color] She asked, sounding disappointed.
