Ryutsu emerged above the peak of a large rocky hill in the Western Cliff Peak foothills. It was late afternoon and he'd come far. He scanned the horizon behind him. he had traveled a long, long from Thun.
"I really need to buy an airship" he exclaimed.
He let out a huge yawn and looked for a nice big tree to rest under. He was too tired to carry on for now. Just as a distant pine tree caught his eye, he spied a small figure already perched below it. He gave a look of slight confusion.
"How many other lone travelers could there really be around these parts?"
He decided to inspect further and jogged on toward the tree.

Joshua is making his way on a courier job, his first mission which took him to Yuba town, so he's watching a crudely drawn map as he runs quickly past the mountains. Suddenly, the small figure Ryutsu had seen and 2 other men from across the road ambushed Joshua, while he was distracted, knocking him to the ground.

Ryutsu spotted the distress and pulled up his arm, forming a sharp spine of packed earth, hurling it toward one of the ambushers from fifty yards away.

Triilix was out camping at this point, and was rudely awoken at this early hour by loud shouting outside his tent.
he lifted the flap and looked out upon the scene: 3 burly men were trying to manhandle a young man to the floor. they had the signia of the winged judge...
as he stands there looking, a bolt of hardened rock fies past him hitting one of the men in the head, forcing unconciousness immediately.
<now its my turn!!!> Trillix thought
summoning his power, he sent several sparks of electric flying towards the other men fighting below...

Ryutsu gasped at the sight and screeched to a halt. Another of the men was incapacitated immediately by the sparks and was sent spiraling into the air. Before he could spot exactly who had let the electricity loose, the final antagonist began to pelt toward him in a bid to escape, not noticing that Ryutsu lay just over the small ridge. He drew out his gleaming dagger and yanked the running man toward him, pushing the blade toward his throat.
"Don't move a muscle" he whispered into his ear.

Triilix glanced up the slope to see a tall, cloaked figure holding a knife to the neck of the third brute. he turns and looks down to where the other man is standing clutching a parcle to his chest.
"Hi im Trillix, whats your name?"...

Joshua, who'd been assessing the situation when all hell broke lose, quickly shakes his head and gets up. upon hearing Thrillix's question he thinks, "These 2 seem powerful, and they've probably just made me some enemies, I can use them", and replies "My name is Joshua, thanks for this", and bows.

"STAY BACK!" Ryustu yelled as Joshua approached him.
"These are he winged judges cronies, they're mine."
The other two adventurers looked on in confusion. Ryutsu pulled up the hostages sleeve to reveal a lage, winged tattoo with a blade running up the middle.
"He's mine"

Joshua stops running...
"Not that I don't love your crazy possessiveness, cause I do. But I suggest that these people of yours don't become a problem of mines, again!" He yells.
Then proceeds to start at another running pace back along the track.

Ryutsu growled, casually slitting the hostages throat and clenching a fist to form a sharp spine of rock pulled from the ground, he shoved out his arm toward Joshua and sent the spike spiralling toward him at breakneck pace.

Joshua becomes a blur, ducking the spike and then charging at Ryutsu at full speed tackling him at waist height.

As Joshua closed in on him, Ryutsu swiftly shot his arm up, pushing up a cloud of blinding dust. He tuned on his heel and pelted off in the opposite direction, into the small wooded area beside the path.

Joshua closes his eyes and continues charging, as soon as the air seems fresh again he opens them and continues pursuit.(pretty sure I should be able to catch up with you.)
