Chapter 53

==Summery==
Marcus throws a pilum (spear) into the gap in each of the three wind mages' visors as they fly through the smoke, immediately killing them. He realizes he can escape with the two girls now, but decides to stay and fight for vengeance and to reclaim the Spear of Scipio. He didn't care about the spear too much, since without a bestowment ceremony he couldn't use it, but he wanted to get it since his grandfather cared for it, and he couldn't stand to see it in the hands of one of his killers. He ripped off the mages armor, even though doing so damaged it, and placed it on himself. Then to his surprise, Lillian assaulted the left flank with water magic, while Astrid controlled magic beast to attack from the right. Although this forced him to change his plans, and could be considered suicidal on their part, it made him happy, because no one had ever risked their life for him before.
