i slowly raised my head to see all three sets of eyes boring into me, seemingly burning a hole through my very soul. the tension was palpable, i would have sworn you could cut it with a knife if the situation were.. better for lack a better word. it lasted four seconds, just enough for me to look at the jagged piece of wood and back to the demons, at that moment the tension snapped and the demons lunged as one. i rolled under them only just missing being gored by their talons. as it happened i was not completely unharmed for lead demons claws sliced into my back as it sailed over me. a cold numbness immediately began spreading from the wound, poison i realized, their claws were poisoned.
i rolled to my feet mere metres from the the makeshift spear, but it may as well have been on the other side of the world, for all it mattered. as this thought went through my mind i realized the demons were not attacking, just then a strike of fire shot through the air, missing the demons by mere centimetres, though the demons were not unharmed the fur of the left most demon ignited like a torch, much like the one i had put out when i arrived at the spring of light.
its howl of pain distracted the others long enough for me to run, scoop up the makeshift spear, and glance at where the strike of fire came from, a crimson silhouette flashed by. Rek!
i immediately turned back to the demons, just in time to see the lead demon lunged at me again, in desperation i thrust the spear forwards with all my meager might, to my lasting surprise it easily punched through the chest of the demon like steel, which when i glanced at it when i pulled it out of the now dying demon i was shocked to find out it had been turned into some kind of strange metal, not unlike the scrap of metal the light was coming from.
