Upon seeing a large bird charge at you after shooting out compressed air and knocking you a few buildings away, most people would run away.
But let's be honest, Sir Kaiden (Stormblade!) is most definitely not most people.
Upon seeing the bird charge at him once more, rather than move, or run, or even yell at it to stop like most people would, Sir Kaiden (Stormblade!) instead decided he wanted to ride it.
Most people would say that it was the brain damage from the impact, but those people don't actually know Sir Kaiden (Stormblade!). Either way, upon seeing the bird charge at him, he stepped aside and put the poor thing in a headlock. While it attempted to squirm its way out of the "Hero's" grip, Sir Kaiden placed himself upon the bird, successfully mounting him.
Still under orders to destroy the armor, Kekarie half-heartedly attempted to remove Stormblade(!) from it's back, smashing in to things and generally causing more destruction to the town than the enchanted armor wearing pretty boy.
<font color="#363636">Back in her home, The Witch finally decided it was time to intervene. Dressed in a white robe and golden sandals rather than her usual wear, The Witch appeared in her usual alley.
And "coincidentally," that was when Kekarie and his unwelcome rider just so happened to come across that alley.
As Kekarie attempted to smash Sir Kaiden (Stormblade!) into yet another wall, The Witch leaped out from the alley and yelled for them both to "Halt."
Of course, Kekarie complied.</font>
Sir Kaiden Stormblade(!) would have been somewhat confused at why his new steed suddenly stopped and he would have wondered where this woman came from if it wasn't for the many times that he had hit his head and also the fact that the woman was smoking hot. Upon a "thorough observation" he quickly made a subtle pose and began to "question" her in his most heroic voice.
"Hello Milady, allow me to introduce myself. I," He momentarily paused for effect. "Am Sir Kaiden Stormblade!" He paused once more, waiting for his bard, before remembering that he was dead, at which point he continued. "So, Milady, may I ask who you are?"
<font color="#363636">Upon hearing the 'hero's' words The Witch pretended to swoon. "Oh, I know of you, are you truly the famous Sir Kaiden Stormblade(!)?" She paused for a moment and then gasped, "You truly are! I can barely believe that I am meeting such a great hero." She draped herself upon Sir Kaiden's armor, rubbing it with a glowing hand, and then whispering to Kekarie telling him to "try again in a little bit~"
The Witch turned her attention back to her newest toy, "I am Marisia Bellosa, I am a simple beast tamer, from a far off land, I heard that there was a powerful dragon about and I came over to attempt to see if there was anything I could do. The bird belongs to me, he's attracted to powerful people, he seems to have taken a liking to you."
"Ha ha! Well of course it would be. And yes, that explains things very well. Seeing that we have similar goals, I suppose that we should team up and combine our efforts." The more that Stormblade(!) spoke, the more apparent and obvious he made his smug ego show...</font>
And the more that he did, the closer the Witch knew that controlling Stomrblade(!) into doing whatever she wanted would be an increasingly simple matter. "Work with THE Sir Kaiden Stormblade! I would be honored. But... first, would you mind stepping off of my bird, he needs to fly off for a bit, I can sense it."
"Well you are the expert here." Still keeping his pose and smile and almot critical mass smugness, Sir Kaiden Stormblade removed himself from Kekarie, allowing it to run off in search of the second most powerful magical object in the village.
===
By the time that Berlin finally caught up to ridiculously fast bird and the idiot who had the nerve to call himself a hero, he was pretty out of breath. As he cooled himself with a tiny electronic fan, he made a mental note never to run that long again.
Or at least, that is what he would have done if he didn't look up to the Hero only to see the craziest woman he'd ever had the displeasure of laying his eyes on. Oh fuck no.
Still focused on wooing over Sir Kaiden Stormblade(!), The Witch was just blindsided when Berlin threw a giant fucking boulder at her.
In theory, it made sense, magic users are inherently weak to large physical projectiles, this would have hopefully got the message out clear if she survived.
However, when she had made Kekarie's magic sensing amulet immune to Stormblade's(!) armor, she had also taken a bit of it's power for herself.
When The Witch stood up in perfect health, Sir Kaiden opened his mouth, about to ask how such a thing could be possible, when suddenly, he was hit with the force of not one, but two silencing spells as both The Wizard and The Witch flicked him backward into a house.
"Oh my god." As The Witch walked toward Berlin, she changed out of her tamer outfit and continued her spiel, "I didn't know someone could go on about himself for so fucking long. Oh wait... I knew you." She spat out.
"Oh because you are so selfless Ms. ChildEater." Berlin followed suit, retorting and beginning to walk and face off against The Witch.
"Well, he was gay, what was I supposed to do? He had betrayed his duty to the gene pool, although now that I think about maybe some chromosomes weren't as good as the other half."
"There were other options than eating him! We could have locked him in a dungeon with a suitable woman or just fix him! Oh, and you say that my genes aren't good enough? I am not the one who’s covered head to toe in cosmetic magic!"
As the two magic users began to circle around the somewhat forced open space and then began to bitch at each other for increasingly questionable reasons, Kekarie was making his way to whatever magical thing the stupid necklace was pointing at.
The bird slowly and reluctantly made its way into the wide open door to Berlin's home. It fought each and every step it made into the wizards house and up his stairs. However, despite all of its reluctance, Kekarie made it to the magical incense that the stupid witch wanted destroyed. Looking at the small ebony container, Kekarie didn't want to destroy it. It wanted to disobey The Witch.
But eventually, it gave in.
Kekarie destroyed the spell.
Without any other orders tying it down, Kekarie's next move was to ransack Berlin's house for anything that could help it.
===
Back with the other unhappy couple, Deathwool was trying to shoot at a moving target while also trying to get a handle of his new body and Nathan was trying to find somewhere to suitably reload Berlin's stupid weapon. However, as Nathan dodged a blast and jumped into some poor peasants house (or rather once was a house as most of the village was trashed by now) and as Deathwing turned back to his normal bloodthirsty self, the skies turned even blacker, yet they had an unnatural glow to them, illuminating the town greater than the moon had. While neither would admit it, they both felt bad about whatever would be coming, which was just enough for Nathan to slip past Deathwing's line of sight.
===
When Kekarie destroyed the spell, both Berlin and The Witch opened their eyes extremely wide, the first in shock, and the second in glee. The Witch's grin suddenly became larger and sharper than normal. Berlin stepped back as The Witch began to grow and subsequently step forward. Steam erupted from her ears. Slowly, each part of her body grew larger and larger. At the same time, her skin turned darker and darker. Her nails sharpened into long claws and her back began to arch. Her robe melded into her skin as she grew scales from each part of her body and as she grew a tail. Her magically made beautiful face grew a snout and her eyes turned red. Slowly, The Witch became a Dragon.
Blowing out smoke from her snout and covering the skies, the Dragon made her best approximation of a smile before opening her mouth and sending a large flame into the air.
It was of course now, that Sir Kaiden Stormblade(!) awoke, still silenced, but none the less terrified at the large and menacing Dragon that had appeared during his slumber. At that moment, he (though none could hear him), and every other human being who wasn't smart enough to flee the village had only one word to say.
"Shit."
