[Tacitus]

*The mages think for a mement on the best course of action before finally speaking out.*

Mage 1: We must commend you on your efforts here today, yet it is not enough.

*The dragons burst with darkness and explode with unholy energies, the mages absorbing what life force they has left within them. Each mage stands normally, unaffected by the abnormal gravity, and rushes at Ryu. Darkness fills the arena, even Ryu's superior eyesight cannot pierce the darkness. From the outside the Outpost seems to be folding in upon itself. When it reaches the size of a fist it, all the force mines begin to glow with a red light. Before anyone can act all the mines explode, along with the outpost, leveling the terrain for miles. The only things left standing are Pheonix. May remains Nailed to the Heavens, a broken Ryu sits in a crater with slashes across his entire body, a section of a dragon's tail lies a few feet away, his dragon tail. As for the rest of the group, they were caught in the explosion, and all were injured, but none mortally. Aphra's Sanctuary blocked a great deal of the damage. As the flames and bright light finally has faded away, soot begins to fall from the sky, blanketing the heroes and the entire area for miles. These mages must have been much more than what they seemed...*
