"Oh... Uhm.. Shit. I'm too good at killing. " He gave a nervous laugh at her, and flicked his visor up, looking at an ash pile that had once been an Innkeeper. He expected to receive a thwap from Akina. They could always continue following the path until they reached the next settlement. Reo felt stupid, but eh, it happens. He shrugged and motioned for her to follow, as he began walking down the path. "Oops."

" your so stupid but I dont blame you any man would have made that mistake", she said in a half growl. She didnt bother Thwacking him yet but she would be sure to get him later. She followed behind him walking through the inn keeper as she went. " You should have stolen one of there beds we could have strapped it to your back or something", she snickered.

"Yes, it's because I'm a man I messed up." Pfft, sexist. He kept walking, sheathing Agito onto his back. It wasn't exactly sheathed, but there was a loop fixed to the back of the armor to accommodate holding the blade. He said to her, while walking. "Yes, I'd love to lug your bed around everywhere. "
The day was mostly uneventful, until they were on a more narrow portion of the path. The trees pressed in close. Though, in the middle of the peaceful walk, a number of spells were fired from the trees, from the front, side, and behind. Reo acted swiftly, turning and grabbing Akina, shielding her. He could take the hits far better than her.
Reo released her after the barrage lifted some, and he took the Agito from his back, apparently unphased from the assault. The mages in the woods could be seen, surrounding them on both sides. They had magically covered their own scent, to escape detection. Reo stepped towards where the mages were hiding, as he used his free hand to flick his visor down.
He let out a low growl, before he rushed forward, swinging the Agito wildly, knocking the trees to the ground, and destroying the mages cover. A good amount died from the combination of falling trees and Agito. Reo was taking care of one side of the road, he left the otherside to Akina. He neared some of the last mages, and the one at the back hit him with an especially strong spell. Reo stumbled back two steps, heavy sheets of ice covering him from the frost spell.
Moving forward, he dove among the remainders of the mages, hacking at the few that remained. One jumped away, and teleported before Reo could get ahold of him. Reo turned to see if Akina had any toys left.

Suprised by the attacks she soon began to get mad once she was released she sprang at the nearest mage cutting through him with her sword pouncing on the others stabbing at them as fast as she could. She was soon hit by some kind of a fire spell scorching her armor not even hurting her due to the fact it was resistant to it. She pounced on this one grabbing his neck since he was the only one left pushing his nose into his skull with the palm of her hand. " stupid never learn do ya", she sighed standing over the man now.

He moved toward the mage she had on the ground, and he raised the agito. Nothing but a large suit of armor carrying a big mean sword. He was just as intimidating, if not more than Akina. Looked down at the mage, he grunted some, and would sheath the sword again. He'd let Akina take care of him. Taking his helmet off, he turned away, closing his eyes. He didn't show it, but he was actually hurting a lot, mostly from the opening barrage of spells. His armor didn't block magic very much, unless it was. The magic felt like it'd shocked his insides some, bruised him. He tried to focus some, and dismiss the pain. A dragon demon of such a powerful clan did not show pain.

Akina finished off the mage stabbing her sword into his head. Once she was done she looked over at Reo seeing how she had never seen him take his helmet off before. She tilted her head out of confusion. " Ya ok?", she asked

"Duh. I'm always good." He replied strongly, and he said to her. "Get the souls.. then let's go." He shoved the helmet back on his head, but kept the visor up. Walking among the bodies he had destroyed, Agito shined blue, sucking the souls in. He returned to the road, and waited for Akina, before he began walking again. "One got away, so we'll probably have to deal with another attack." Reo swallowed hard, and kept walking. If he found out where these mages were coming from, he was personally going to end them himself.

Akina held her sword near the bodies gathering up there souls. Once she was done she walked with Reo swallowing her pride " Thanks for helping me", she said in almost a whisper. One thing she couldnt stand to do was admit she had to be helped. " Ah well if they attack again we can always just take them out again hm"

"You'll have the chance to make it up to me soon enough, we've got plenty of dangers ahead. " He replied to her. He continued to walk along the path, his chest hurting everytime he took a step, but not enough to make him stop walking. Soon enough, a merchant was walking the other way along the path. Reosoul snatched the man by his collar, and spoke to him, only his eyes being seen. "Where's the nearest town!" It was more of a command than a question.
The merchant winced at being grabbed, and he replied quickly. "Ah.. A few miles down the path, a feudal lord holds command of the city.. Ple-" Reo twisted his neck with a sickending snap, and Agito absorbed the singular soul quickly, before Reo shoved the man off the path, and started walking towards the town the merchant described. "This may be a little harder than the merchant town we took."

Akina looked over at the merchant watching as Reo grabbed him. She snickered a little. " harder is funner ", she said walking with Reo. " Besides it will be a good work out for us yeaaaahhhh a real challenge", she said trying to picture what it was going to be like in the back of her head. " then again that might be where those mages were heading."

He chuckled some, and he would continue walking with her. It could be hard, or really easy. It was hard to tell, it depended on how smart the commander of the castle was. He continued walking with Akina, until he reached outside of the castle. Some of the guards saw Reo and Akina, and yelled up to the archers on the ramparts. The gate slowly began to crank closed, and the archers notched their bows.
"Oh. We have a reputation alrea-" Thunk. An arrow slammed into Reo's shoulder, a thick part of his armor. He grabbed the arrow and tossed it away, before he said to Akina. "You ready to get s'more souls?" A couple more arrows flew down, missing both of them by a few yards.

Akina looked over at Reo upon hearing the sound of a arrow hitting. " Hmm Guess there smart ones", she said with a sigh taking a few steps forward so she was right beside the gate and out of the way of any attacks from the arrows. " so whats the plan boss? same as always? ", she asked eyes showing how much she wanted to fight these humans. " I think your mage friends might be in there", she snickered looking up at the gate.

"Yeah, show them how mean us dragons are.. You take care of most of the guys on the ground and-" Shunk! The arrow hit Reo's helmet, and stuck. Some of the archer's cheered, thinking they'd just headshooted one of the dragons dead. Reo reached up and flicked the arrow out of his thick helmet, and the cheer died down into a morbid silence. "- And I'll get the archers. "
Reosoul was overtaken by the bright red light, engulfing him. It grew, until the dragon that Reo now was, burst from it, leaping at the castle wall. It wasn't built to withstand such a blow, and soon caved in on the houses inside the walls. Flailing some, Reo made a large hole in the wall, collapsing it all ontop of troops, and letting the archers fall to their deaths. Turning his head, he shot a fireball along the ramparts, watching it torch the archers who could only jump to their deaths or be incinerated. Climbing over the crumbling wall, he waded through the houses he crushed under his feet.
Reo was making his way towards the keep. It was the main part of the castle, and a main gate at it's base. Just above the gate was a hole, some type of cylinder. Reo thought nothing of it, and continued moving for the keep, fireballing any troops he saw running around. Indeed, there was a lot of movement in the keep, as they prepared for Reosoul's arrival.

Akina snickered at the sight of seeing a arrow sticking out or Reo's helmet. " welp there doomed", she said laughing changing into her dragon form as she pounced into the city watching Reo out of the corner of her eye as she took care of the humans near her sending a rain of fire down on them, before sending a deafening roar shaking the ground only a bit as she went back on her rampage killing the humans.

Reo swung his arms wide, knocking towers and buildings asunder, raining rock and fire down upon the humans that fled. The humans inside must jhave been terrified. Reo reached the keep and dug his claws into the sides of it, about to rip it in half. A human by one of the windows yelled, and Reo heard a pulley release, and gears shifting inside the walls of the keep.
The hole right above the gate in the keep housed a sharpened cylinder that after being spun by the pulleys inside, before being shot out like a bullet. When this happen, it almost struck Reo right in the heart, but having heard the pulleys whirring, he moved to the side, the sharpened cylinder graving along his side, wounding him, but it wasn't fatal.
Roaring in pain and anger, he grabbed ahold of the keep, and forced his weight into it, tumbling the tower down atop the city. Many humans died from the fall, and Reo finished off the rest, inside by firing a torrent of flame into the bottom half that remained. From the other half of the city, the mages that had been attacking them from before were at it again. They fired off a mixture of ice and arcane spells, some at Akina, but the majority were fired at the already wounded Reo.
