Akina hears his roar looking over at at him to make sure he was still standing. When she seen he was she knocked down a house killing a few humans in the process. She growled feeling ice start to form around her body. She went over to Reo standing in front of him trying to keep some of them from Hitting him the most she could.

Reosoul tore at the ice forming on him some, before explosion began happening around him. They were small, but the concussions from them hurt. The soldiers were standing around them, flinging fused bombs up at them. Spraying fire down on them, he grew tired as he continued to get struck with spells, Akina taking most of them, but there was a lot.
At 6 ends of the city, Ballista's were hoisted up and loaded. They were loaded with basically trees that had been cut down, shaved thin, and sharpened. They were like giant arrows. 5 of the Ballistas fired at Akina, who seemed like she was taking the most damage now, and one fired at Reo, since it was closest to him, and between the ballista and Akina.
Reo saw the balistas, and let out a low growl to Akina. "We gotta get out of here..." He grunted some as the ballista fired at him, the large arrow catching him in the arm. Tugging the arrow out, he shined brightly, shrinking down, and quickly let Agito pull in all the souls. After finishing, he forced his wings from his back, and got a running start before he jumped and flew over the walls of the castle, in towards the forest, hoping Akina would just stay in dragon form and follow.
However, the mages were pouring all they had into firing ice and arcane spells at Akina, trying to hit her with enough spells to kill her. The ballistas were reloading, and since she'd likely been hit by a few of them, she'd know she didn't want to get hit again. They did more damage than the mage spells.

Akina growled out in pain when she was hit with the ballistas but she tried not to show it. She swiped her claws at the humans not wanting to stop till they were dead. But still she had to agree with Reo this was getting to be to much. Ice was beginning to cover her wounds causing her more pain then before now. her head dipped down a little watching as Reo Cleared the wall. She did stay in her dragon form knowing the trees from her side running only a few steps before she flew through the air trying to Follow Reo.

Reo continued flying wearily, before they landed back in the forest, near where they had destroyed the Inn. He absorbed his wings into his back as he landed, and he fell to one knee, feeling the blood coming from his side. But, he stood quickly, to attend to Akina. She was likely in much worse shape than him. He spoke to her, still in a dragon's tongue. "Easy, Akina.. you're wounded bad."

Akina landed near Reo wings still spread out as if she was about to take off again but soon folded onto her back. " not any worse than you", she said to him before changing back to her humans form her sword at her side. She hit the ground with a plop wincing as the pain shot through her . " When do we go back?", she asked peeling some ice from one of her wounds.

"When we're healed some." He replied to her, and he looked over her wounds some. Neh.. those bastards were going to pay for that. He expected the castle to give them trouble, but nothing like that. "Next time we'll fly in there already in our true forms.. and not give them a chance to fight back." He would have tried to help her wounds, but he only knew of one way that worked fast.
"I dunno Akina, you took a lot more of those ballistas and spells than I did." The spells didn't just form ice on the skin, they usually hit and made one's insides bruise, rupture and bleed. Pretty painful stuff. Reo sat down against a tree, resting some.

" Sounds like a good plan Then we can really get it done", she said in almost a growl. " they have been the hardest to get so far", she muttered. " But you! you had to go and kill the Inn! bad Reo bad!", she scolded playfully thinking of how nice her bed would be. She sniffled some still laying in the grass closing her eyes some. " maybe they wont take to long to heal I hate waiting like this"

"Bah.. Just shut up and relax. We'll get them..." Reo closed his eyes, and let himself drift into a light sleep. His wounds would heal themselves faster as he slept, and a few hours later, he awoke. Lifting his head some, he grunted, his wounds still hurting some, but they were closed. He looked over at Akina, lifting the visor of his helmet, and seeing if she was awake or not. If she wasn't, he go over and shake her. "Wake up, lazy... time for more souls. "

Akina fell asleep while he was talking like she usually did. most of her wounds were healed but when she would wake up it would feel like hell had ran through her. She felt Reo Shaking her telling her to get up she opened her eyes half way glaring at him before she stood upp brushing herself off. gritting her teeth every time she moved. " Time to go? "

"Yeah.. the castle must be on it's last leg, so let's finish 'em and then move on to the next place." Reo pat her head, and he turned, walking away some. A bright shine enveloped him, and the trees near him gave way as he transformed into his dragon form, his cyan eyes turning to look at Akina. After she'd shifted, he'd fly off towards the castle with her. It wasn't far away, and soon it was within sight. There was a strange shine down in it though, where the castle's keep had once been. "..What the hell..?" Reo flew towards the castle, still, it coming into view more.

Akina nodded shifting into her dragon form and taking off in flight behind Reo. " What is that?", she called out to him once the castel was in sight for her. " you think they are planning something Reo?" she couldn't take her eyes off of it trying to figure out what it was and what they were planning.

"Don't know. What could they possibly do?" It was apparent when they got closer. The mages were in the center of the destroyed Keep, all focused and channeling their energy on the approaching pair of dragons. Suddenly, hundreds of large balls of arcane and ice energy were being fired at them. Reo dove down to avoid them, but to his dismay, not many were actually going after him. The fire was concentrated on the dragon who they figured was the weakest, after having taken injuries in the last battle. Akina would have to dodge the many spells flying at her.
Fine, he'd take down the mages. Reo swooped down at the city, moving quickly as he flew, and he came down at the mages. He felt a few sickening thuds before he'd been able to reach the mages, the waiting ballistas having shot him upon coming down at the mages. Reo dropped down into the castle, hitting a good few of the stone houses, before he came to a sliding halt. The three ballista bolts that had hit him had been enough to knock him out of the air, and from the impact, he was stunned. Growling meakly, he began to tug the bolts out. They hadn't gone too deep, his rib cage having stopped them, but it hurt a good bit.

She growled at the spells coming at her trying her best to doge what she could of the getting hit by the rest. She let out a ear shattering roar when the spells hit her wounds from the day before. She could handle new ones but the spells that hit at her old wounds hurt the most. She began heading toward where the spells came from Flying over the castel walls in almost the same spot she was in yesterday now. She looked over at Reo. trying to keep the pain from getting in her way she sent a fire ball towards the keep.

The mages had expected this. The small spells stopped firing, and then there was a sudden burst from the glowing mass of mages, a ball of energy much larger than Akina's fireball. With Akina zooming in as fast as Reo had, it'd be hard for her to dodge the ball of arcane energy, and if it did hit her, it'd have enough force to stop her in mid air, and blow her down into the ground. The glowing mass of mages halted sending any more spells, seeing if they'd killed Akina or knocked her out. They doubted that anything could survive such a strong magical hit, but they thought at the least, it'd knock her unconcious and leave them with one dragon to deal with.
Reo had already pulled the bolts out, and he slowly began to get up, shooting fireballs at the troops around him, throwing bombs at him. He began moving towards Akina, stepping on buildings as he went.

Akina was hit by the ball of energy before she could even try to get away from it. She hit the ground hard unconscious now. She shifted back into her human form laying among all the other bodies still clinging onto Ravager.
