Sagittarius was in plain view. Kilis smirked, watching him fight against Kilis' troops. "Moron." He mumbled as he pulled his musket around. He took aim and smiled.

The shot rung out. Kilis had held back shooting him before because he never shot prisoners. Now the warrior was on an open field, and all was fair.

Kassandra dropped her sword as sparks shot from it and it was jerked from her arm. Sagittarius turned at the sound of metal hitting metal mere inches from his head.

They both stared in awe at the sword, now bent from the sheer impact. Another millisecond and she would have moved her sword and Sagittarius would be gone.

Their thoguhts were interrupted as a soldier lunged at Kassandra. She dodged the attack, and slashed the attacker with the knife in her boot. His face was now split and he was screaming. She stabbed the knife up, through the bottom of his mouth, and out the side and began prying his jaw open. As she did so, he dropped his sword. "I'll take this, thanks." She said over his screams.

She felt the jaw give way, breaking away. Soon the entire jaw fell to the ground, and another strike of the knife through the temple sent the man limp. She swung the sword around to parry another attack without missing a beat.

As she fought, the thought of how she had saved Sagittarius' life echoed in her head.

Sagittarius looked at Kassandra not knowing what to say, just paused there staring at her. Then he turned towards Kilis out on the field, and pulled out the pistol he had stolen from him when Kilis had struck him across the face. He winked at Kilis on the field then fired the gun towards him, though it had been a while since he had used it so it did not fire straight for his head, but his shoulder instead.

Sagittarius did not wait to see if it even struck him as he turned his attention back to the soldiers advancing. He pulled his sword and put it up to block an oncoming slash from a soldier, then spun around to his back and dug his sword through the soldier's less protected back and the point stuck out through the other side. Then he spun around again taking off both the soldier's legs, and then one final spin and he came around to take off the head as well.

"Thanks," he said to Kassandra then grabbed the sword arm of another attacking soldier and flipped him over on his back. Then he quickly dug his sword into his sternum for a quicker death then the last soldier he had taken out.

-River-

As River was fighting, he saw Christolf engage in many war technics that seemed to echo an evil aura, one that had begun to surround him because of his anger and brutal killing towards the soldiers. It's one thing to kill them, this is a war after all, but it is another thing to brutally kill them for no reason. He thought, feeling incredibly frustrated with the young man. There is no need to stoop to their level and act like a barbaric beast. His thought continued and edge of anger arising within him, but it wasn't like River didn't know how to control himself. Over the years, he possesed a great amount of control and wasn't going to let that juvinille beast get the better of him. He only killed the soldiers if he had to, and did it in the swiftest way possible so that the soldier wouldn't suffer so much. He felt remorse, that he had to do such things, but sometimes one must do what they must to protect their country from mahem and violence. As he fought, he suddenly saw a woman, that he was sure he'd seen amongst Treka and the rest of them, almost get killed by the enemy. He ran over to help her but was beaten by unmistakingly an elf. He breathed a sigh of relief that she was saved just in the nic of time.

He continued fighting, every so often briefly glancing over and making sure that someone wasn't hurt. If that be the case, he would immediently abandon his fighting and heal them, out of the way of the fighting of course. He glanced over in Christolf's direction. Tis a pitty that someone so handsome and unmistakingly filled with inner good would be filled with so much hatred. He thought rather mournfully. He saw that Chrisolf was taking on too many men at once, and wouldn't dare to ask for help, his spirit filled with pride and hatred. He quickly ran over to help him anyway, even though he knew Christolf would stubbernly ward off any help he may give. Before he got there, however, the unevitable happend. A man over-took Christolf and his roosteriness and the man's sword sliced through his upper left arm. He heard Christolf scream in pain, the agony, as he knew, quite great. He ran over to help him, his sword weighing heavily in his hand.

The enemy sliced through Christolf's leg as Christolf yelled out still desparetly trying to ward off all the enemies himself. Younglings..always trying to do more than what they could handle.. He thought moodily, trying to remember back when HE was Christolf's age. He wondered why he cared at all for this man. He was arrogant and brutally masacuring these men. He wondered why he didn't just leave him for the dead. You see that it is just a mask..he is actually brutally heart-wounded. His consious told him defiantly. River sighed in reluctance and knew what he must do. He swung his sword violently and sliced the men in two at the waste. After he was done, he shuddered. He then grabbed Christolf and picked him up and carried him off to a place to fix him. He found a small grove-like area, and set him down gently. "Hey! I was fine..ouch..on my, OUCH own!" Christolf snapped. "Yeah, sure.." River responded airly as he started on his work.

Christolf tried to get up several times but River pulled him down each time. "Look you fool, you either let me fix you or die. It's as simple as that." River spat at him. Christolf stared at him defiently but eventually let him get back to work. After a while, Christolf spoke up again. "Why DIDN'T you leave me to die, anyone else would have." He said. River looked at him in shock and wonderment. "Well..uh..I don't let people just die, no matter how brutle and insane they are to the enemy.." he responded eyeing the man in contempt. Christolf stared down, remarkibly enough, it seemed as a flicker of remorse went across his face. Not for long though, his mask soon clouded his face again. "Those bastards would kill me just as bad and brutally if it were the other way around. Nobody cares about me, so why the f**k should I care about anyone?" Christolf retorted, his tone getting violent. "Shh. Do you want to be caught unguarded by an enemy? Keep your voice down. " He whispered harshly at him. The guy looked at him hurt, then stony, unreadible. River winced and softened his tone. "Just because they were heartless doesn't mean YOU need to be..." he said. "And im sure someone cares about you.." He added, his own face turning a bit pink, though he didn't know why. Hiding his face for a moment, he told Christolf, "Anyway, you're all done..rest here now a bit lad. I'll keep watch, while you heal."

Christolf lost quite a bit of blood within that time and seemed to have excausted himself playing hero so didn't argue. River watched as the man drifted asleep, and while watching him, he also watched the others fight, hoping that he wouldn't have to make anymore rescue attempts anytime soon...
