You put away tour shield and nod to your companions. "Good work my friends. Let us take our rightful trophies and tend to our wounds."
Mystia quickly flies over to the unconscious guardsman. "With pleasure friends. A fine battle despite their cowardice."
"Guessing you want me to fish up that one that ran from me," Wriggle says calmly. "I'll be getting to that then."
"Wriggle, you should not be so careless with your wounds," Daiyousei scolds. "Wait but a moment, and I shall heal you."
A wave of green wind flows from Daiyousei's hands over Wriggle. She smiles and bows to the other fairy. "Thank you kindly, lady. Glad I am that you keep track of our health." She begins to head towards the pond where her swarm is flying.
Daiyousei then turns to you. "And the same goes for you my knight. If you must throw yourself to the for, have care for your body." Once again she breathes over her hands, and a pleasant wind enfolds you. You smile as the pain of your wounds fade away.
"Thank you my Lady. But you should not worry overmuch." You carefully untie the hair ribbon she gave you and return it to her. "I kept the most important parts safe." She flushes and shakes her head at that, but she does not comment as she ties her hair up once again.
"A fine raid this was!" Mystia says happily as she brings over the knights horse. The war charger is unhappy, but it's obviously not as fractious as some of his breed. "A steed, four swords, a lance, two lanterns, and all five crossbows, with sixty bolts. And the knights armor of course should you wish to take it."
"I think I shall," you reply. "He should be forced to re-earn his status for his misdeeds." You create a knife and begin cutting off his plate armor. You think the padding beneath is more trouble then it's worth though.
There's a harsh crunch from behind you and you turn to see Rumia squatting over the one she killed. She gives you a look. "What. He was dead already. And some of us need to feed, unlike fairies."
"Mayhaps you should be more discreet friend," you reply.
Rumia licks her lips, then nods. "A fair request. I shall have but a little until you are done with these scum."
"Entrails might be nice, should you not want all of your rightful kill," Mystia calls off, as Rumia drags the body a little further away.
Wriggle soon arrives with the one who fled, around the same time that his friend began to wake. The fight seems to be gone from them. "Honest Sir Knight, we don't have anything against you. We was just following orders, sir. Please spare us."
You look down upon them with scorn. Simple men, simply moved it seems. "I shall consider it, but your weapons are now mine by right." They shiver and look towards the ground.
The knight stirs and you once again place your sword to his chest. Without his armor in the way you can dig in a little. "So Sir Richard, do you yield?"
The knight looks around in shock, then anger as he sees two of his companions sitting meekly under guard. "You filthy swine. I'll have vengeance for this."
"How can a man be so brave in foolishness and such a coward in a fight," mutters Mystia. "We have your life now as well."
"You wouldn't dare," the knight sneers. "I know your type 'Sir' Cirno. You would never kill a man in custody. Which means you're going to let me go eventually. At which point I can head back to the village and tell them all of the cheating fairy knight who ambushed me and my men."
You are stunned by the mans arrogance. "You seek to threaten me? Here and now?"
"I do! Give me back what is mine and I shall forget your name."
You laugh at the mans sorry bargaining, and the rest of your group joins in. "You are a jest in poor taste. I think we need to make you more entertaining."
Now how to punish this fool? And what to do with the cowering men behind you?
