Two of the God-Queen's Skyborne Knights had responded to the sound of the cannons firing over Iracot. Mounted on their powerful Wyverns, the two alone, while not much of a threat, would possibly be able to damage the Airships- if nothing else destroying the balloons themselves.
When they had seen the flag of the Magistrates, however, the Knights simply fly into audible range. "Hail, Magistrates," one of them shouts; Cyrus Avalant, one of those more loyal to the Magistrate cadre. "Do you require our assistance," he asks, stifling the roar of his Wyvern as it brings him to a hovering halt off of the
Kennel Dog's starboard side. He wouldn't dare land on a Magistrate's ship without permission.
With him was Martellus, flying a patrol route around the two ships, as if expecting some trouble. After everything that had occurred the previous day, the Skyborne- who had been ordered grounded during the festival for reasons unknown- were out in full force. Dragons and Gryphons would not be able to approach Iracot unseen, now.
