"Complicated isn't exactly an answer- but I think-" When he heard the other foot steps coming behind the girl his feathers went to a pure pale steel color different from their usual black. The feather in his hand and the one around her neck were the same steel color now- it was sharp so he was hoping it didn't cut her. When she pointed to him he wasn't too sure it was good but Inez watched this and thought it was threatening when some one else came out there so she herself jumped out of the tree's limbs and Had her sword ready- she was a few steps behind Ralyn but she was sure she was visible and threatening. Listening to the news from the new comer, she looked a bit panicked. "Platoon? We need to go Ralyn...Now. They are getting closer every moment we stand here." He couldn't take him eyes off the place where she had been, but he finally did when Inez touched his shoulders. "We need to go...please." He nodded, grabbing some of his things and she put out the fire. They were going to be riding hard all night.

When things felt a little easier they slow and Reid looked over at Kiva and saw how sad she was. He felt bad for what he had to do but he would rather have her alive and searching again then have her dead and him be alone once again. "We'll find him again but my first concern is you" Reid finally told her and she slowly nodded her head.
Kiva was happy when Reid finally answered her but she was still down about the whole thing. She wasn't even able to get anything from him, not even a confirmation if he was her brother. "You're right" she said lifting her head and putting the sorrows in her heart to the back of her mind. She would deal with the soldiers first and make sure it's safe before she seeks him out again. "You keep an eye on our tail, I'm going to scout ahead to find some place to bunk" he nodded his head and watched her ride off.
She was exhausted from today's events and with the lack of sleep the night before things were starting to get a little fuzzy with her. She was just glad that Reid hadn't tried to keep her there. It would be much faster for one of them to run ahead and she knew that in her state she wouldn't be able to take on anyone.

AS they were just leaving the clearing he started to hear the hooves coming with the soldiers. Smiling at he advanced warning they rode hard off the trail for a short while and when they couldn't hear them any more-meaning they had stopped, get returned to the trail and rode hard. It was about dawn when they stopped in a cove, it was in a deep part of the woods and most wouldn't trust it so they would over look it- but it was a mouth of a cave just past the tree line int eh small cove. Entering there he examined the cave leaving the sleeping Inez out side for the time being. He wanted to make sure it was safe. Looking around and finding it empty, he set up camp then fetched Inez- who passed right back out when she settled down on the ground, next to Ralyn. He smiled and kept her warm as he dozed lightly threw the morning but he was still aware of every noise that came by.

Kiva rode on further and further away looking for anything that was out of the way that they could rest in but she couldn't find anything. As she rode her thoughts wandered back to the guy, her chest hurt a little just thinking about the fact that she could have walked away from all the information that she had been searching for. Beating herself up a little she finally stopped and looked to the sky taking a deep breath. "I will find you again" she promised and then went back to searching.
Reid watched her ride off and was worried. He didn't like being away from her, he was suppose to protect her, what if something happened and he wasn't there? He couldn't live with himself if something happened to her. But he knew he had a job to do so he kept riding on behind her but keeping his pace slow. Reid wondered if the soldiers would catch up to them and if he was finally going to get a battle.

Ralyn sighed, the cave getting dark, he wanted to go for a walk- stretch his wings a bit. He got up careful not to wake Inez, then jumping at he mouth of the cave he pushed off and flew up. He rode the air currents for a few moments then flapped a bit, keeping semi-close to the trees he few a bit back the way they had come, looking to see the progress of the soldiers. He saw a solitary horse still riding but the soldiers were only a few bends behind him at a much faster pace, he was going to get caught in it- he knew this already. He dropped a few trees ahead of the horseman and emerged from the tree line and looked at the man a serious look on his face," You are going to get caught if you don't pick up your pace-they are nearing."

Kiva had finally found a decent place to stay for the evening and it was pretty far off the beaten path so they should be safe. She turned her steed and headed back towards Reid's position. On her slow ride back she wondered how he fared with the soldiers or if he even went up against them. Much to her disapproval he would fight them anyways but she couldn't blame him. Kiva knew it had been a long time since she allowed him to fight. It was just attention that she was trying to avoid and him killing would put a lot more eyes on them.
Reid had finally stop at this point letting the platoon of soldiers catch up to him more. He was starting to itch for the fight that would be coming and he slide his hand down to the sword at his side. He was getting ready for the battle that was headed his way however he wasn't ready for someone to come up next to him. In a flash he had his sword drawn and to the neck of the man who dare speak to him. Reid's eyes focused and realized that it had been the man that Kiva was talking to earlier. He sheathed his sword and turned his horse around to face the direction of the soldiers. "Take one guess as to why I am allowing them to get closer" he responded in a quiet monotone voice. "It is not wise to sneak up on someone who is trained as well as I" he continued giving the man one warning as he did everyone.

Ralyn saw the move coming so he didn't even flinch but his wings were the color of sharp tiny razors, not the black they were usually. With the blade sitting on his neck he smiled at the man, no sign of fear. He finally realized whop he was , his smile widened as he sheathed his sword. He stayed where he was not really caring for horses at the moment, his wings hanging loose by his body. "Well trained indeed, but I am as well- I am assuming your itching for a fight...and I was wondering if I could join you as well? I have a theory to test if that is okay with you." His theory was to hum the tune as he fought to see if it kept the blood lust at bay or even reversed its effects, he was sure that it would make Inez happy with him if he started learning how to control himself in a fight.

Reid looked at him through the corner of his eye bouncing back and forth if he wanted help. Though this was all in fun and if he would start to lose he would just bolt from the fight. He was pretty good about disappearing when he wanted to but a little help never hurt and if they could eliminate all of the soldiers then there would be no one to report back to post. Still he wanted to do this alone and didn't trust the guy very much nor knew who he really was. "If you get in my way I will have no regrets about taking you out as well" was his way of saying he was fine with it. Reid dismounted his hours and then walked to the horses head. He patted the horses neck for a little bit while he whispered in its ear before slapping it on the ass to make it run into the forest. There was no need for his way of transportation to die when he was the one picking the fight. Reid still had one hand on his sword hilt waiting for them to appear.

Ralyn smiled at him when he agreed with a threat about not regretting to kill him."I'm sure...Thanks. I guess I shall leave a few to you as well. I only need one if my theory is correct. If not I shall try not too..." If he didn't have his theory right he was either going to dye or kill the man. He didn't really care either way but it was all for the fight. Watching him send his horse off he smiled, 'At least he cared about his mount.' "So whats your name warrior? " He asked in a polite way that warriors usually did. He hoped Inez would stay asleep threw the fight ans not even notice he was gone. She wasn't asleep however she was close by- having been following him via the sky- he was visible with out the clouds out and about. She was just inside the tree line when she saw the man draw a sword to Ralyn's throat which made him smile, when he began talking about things she got confused. She stood there and waited, she was startled however when a horse came rushing by her threw the tree line. Taking a deep breath she saw the soldiers top the hill ans a few of them were pointing to the two in the road. "Hey! You two state your purpose!" She heard threw the muffled trees by the wind. She peeked out of the tree line and tried her best to watch threw the patches of leaves. Ralyn had in wings out and they were razor sharp- and ready for action as well as his claws where looking vicious and pointy when eh was in battle mode. He was just waiting for he tune to start tin his head when they attacked- he was waiting for it- begging for it. Inez saw how ready he was-she didn't like this- it looked like the blood lust was starting to take over him already- not a good sign. His eyes were getting red as the blood lust began to well up in his chest the pressure for not moving it was starting to get painful but a goods painful. He was itching to move his motions were a bit more jerky like he was a freak but he knew what he wanted now and it was blood.

Reid scoffed at the winged man 'leave some for me' he repeated in his head, like the guy was going to get the kills before him. But he had to admit that the guy had gaul. He took a deep breath just as the first couple of soldiers were coming into view, his moment was coming and his hand was shaking with anticipation. Reid looked to the man one more time at his question, should he reveal his name to this man or should he just shrug him off. His name was something that shouldn't be breathed so easily but the man should understand. If it took Kiva this long to find him then he hid well and probably for a reason. "If we survive this I just might answer that question" though he was more then confident that they would be the ones surviving he just didn't want to answer the question as of now. He wanted to see what this man was made of then he turned away from him taking a couple of steps towards the soldiers. "We are your final judgement!" Reid shouted at the soldier bold enough to speak to him.
Kiva made it back to Reid just in time to see the soldiers coming to him. Her breath caught in her throat when she saw the man that could be her brother next to Reid. To which she was surprised that either of them were still standing. This would be a sight to watch so instead of stopping them she stood there in the distance watching the show that was about to begin.

The soldier's didn't take too kindly to Reid's answer then drew swords and waited for their orders from the captain to come to the front. He was a bold looking man with dark eyes," Are you enemies of the crown?!" Ralyn smiled a sadistic smile," Indeed- some face your death!" He said with such hate with it sounded like he was a malicious killer. "Attack! kill these imbeciles." Yelled the guard's captain. He wanted them dead, since they were opposing him. Ralyn waited till they got about seven feet from him then he attack with his razor wings. he waked 2 of the 12 soldiers. 4 soldiers were rushing Reid but he left him to his own devices. He scratched and hacked at the two men-then going down in two hits, the next one was dead with a large span of razors threw his body. It was a bloody mess but Inez couldn't bring her to tear her eyes from the scene. She watched as their bodies sloshed to the ground and a few still clinging on to their weak lives screeched as they hit the ground.

Reid not waiting for more of an invite charged a group of men headed his way. Taking out a few of then he looked at his war buddy 'interesting' he thought taking a few seconds to watch the guy "thought you only needed one" Reid laughed not really caring what the man wanted to do and got back to his own killing.
Kiva watched and couldn't believe how blood thirsty the two men were. She enjoyed killing those that opposed her but these two seemed just like they were blood hungry and it would be satisfied with Antibes blood. Kiva had to look away for a few minutes while she got her mind back on her goal and that's when she spotted the other girl. Her breath caught in her throat, this girl should not be exposed to this kind of life style. She seemed to sweet and normal for something like this. Kiva left her horse there on the hill and shed her coat once more, this time Kiva extended her wings and glided down to where the girl was. "This is something that should not be watched by one so innocent" she told the girl, just assuming that she was just a watcher.
Reid mowed down many men and when he took a step back noticed that there were only a few left. He decided to let the other man handle the rest cause he was quite satisfied with the battle. Though not coming out of it unscathed, some of the men were pretty good fighters but Reid was better. He looked around knowing that Kiva had to be some where in the area and before he could see her he heard her voice, she was singing and that confused Reid. He knew she sang when she was nervous but the way she was singing sounded almost like she was excited.

With out saying a word he tried to control his movements with no luck. He was in killing mode, the blood lust running hot threw him. He dug into one of the last few men chests and ripped out his heart, it was steaming in his clawed hand the last man was cut down by his wing. The razors cutting him in two. After he was dead and hit the ground they reverted to black but they were soaked with blood- it dripping off his wings and body. Looking down at the heart in his hand he threw it on the ground, turning when he heard the other man breathing. His eyes were still blood shot red as he looked at him, his wings slowly turning back to razor as the blood lust lingered. Inez jumped when she heard another voice behind her, she turned ans looked it was the girl from the market. "I'm not so innocent as you presume...I'm here for him..." She said looking back at Ralyn with a worried look on her face as his wings were changing back to razors as he looked at Reid with a hungry expression. "Ralyn... Sing! You know the song sing it...now!" She practically begged the girl. She didn't want her friend to die or feel remorse for killing her or even getting killed...She didn't want that. Looking between the girl and Ralyn, he turned his head towards them and let out a loud hissing sound like he wasn't happy with the request.

Reid took a deep breath and noticed the man’s movements weren’t so friends towards him like they were earlier, out of reaction he lifted his sword preparing for another battle. Though inside he was hoping that this one would prove to be more challenging than the soldiers, there was no fear in Reid’s eyes only excitement. His own blood lust returning to him as the adrenaline coursed through his veins once more.
Kiva was puzzled at first by the girl and wondered why such an innocent looking girl was with such a malevolent man. But her brain started to process everything once she looked back at the bloodied battle field and noticed that the man she presumed to be her brother was going to go after Reid next though she wasn’t that worried that he would get killed nor the other man she just didn’t want to deal with all the yelling once they came to their senses. Instead of doing as the girl wanted Kiva rushed over to the two men who were about to fight each other and stepped in between them. Reid’s eyes stalked her movements for a minute and he emitted a low growl at her. “Knock it off Reid. This isn’t the place and that’s an order” she told him in a low warning. Kiva then turned to the other man and looked into his face, this one would be harder to get through to but the girl had said something about singing. “What the hell” she said and closed her eyes trying to remember the words and started to sing softly and as she progressed remembering the words now her voice got louder.

The nasty smile slide back across his bloodied face as Reid prepared to fight him. However he smelled Inez and some one else. That wasn't he best- If he could smell her-she was close. He stopped walking when a girl- the one he had met earlier, she was yelling at the other man he was wanting to kill. He could see the own man's blood lust and he was dying to see what he had. How well he could kill. As he watched her turn to him and close her eyes he spread his wings out as they completely turned to a dulled silver he smiled at her a bloodied sharp toothed smile. He was going to attack her but he stopped- His body felt like he was being drained of the mad frenzy that was running rampant in his head. It was calming his eyes were becoming clearer, His wings were reverting to the soft black feathers, his claws retracting. He felt calm now. He stood there now, Looking at the girl who was singing, he opened his mouth to speak but failed so he hummed lightly.He hummed with her, but turned to look for Inez, who had stepped threw the tree line. She approached Ralyn, wrapping her arms around him in a hug that meant she was worried. "I'm sorry- I lost it again." She shook her head," It's fine- Your alive, they are alive, Its alright." She looked at the other girl and nodded to her," Thanks for listening."
