Elias: "Lorcan! He Passed out!"
Lorcan: "Move! Let me look at him."
Elias grabbed the ring before moving out of Lorcan's way. He stared at the ring closely.
Gabriel: 'This isn't Good.'
Elias: 'What isn't good? Gabriel what are you talking about?'
There was a long silence before Gabriel answered.
Gabriel: 'This is the nose ring of Moloch the demon bull. It's a miracle Kairos is even breathing right now."
Elias: 'Demon Bull? What are you talking about? Gabriel?'
Gabriel: 'He's an Officer in the Abyssal Army. Precisely one of Leviathans officers.'
Elias: 'Officers Plural?'
Back at the Camp
Lyra sat next to Emille. He talked to her about all the games he and all his friends used to play together.
Lyra: "Wow! That one sounds like it was fun!"
Emille: "That was one of my favorites. I wish I could still play them all…."
Emille started frowning and looked down. His legs stopped swinging as well.
Lyra stood up and picked up a stone.
Lyra: "We can! How did you play that one with the rocks again?"
Emille's face lights up as she said that. He stood and started racing around grabbing stones.
Emille: "Okay we can play now! First What you got to do is make a-"
A sharp projectile shot through the air straight into Emille's back. Mid-sentence he coughed up blood. It trickled from his mouth off his chin to the ground.
Lyra: "EMILLE!!!"
Lyra ran over to him and held him. Even slightly trying to pick him up made him scream in pain. Tears rolled down his face from a picture of pain and sadness.
Lyra: "Emille! Speak to me Emille!"
Emille: "I… I just wanted to... play games... again..."
Lyra had tears falling from her onto Emille's chest. The light in his eyes had already started fading.
Lyra: "Emille I'm-"
Another projectile shot forward towards Lyra. Only a few inches from her eye she pulled out her blade and deflected it. She looked up to see three demons. The left one was shorter with purplish skin and jagged teeth. The middle one was taller and red wearing multiple gold ornaments. The last one was covered in blood and had a Bull head with a nose injury.
Bakasura: BAHAHAHA! Did you guys see that!? The way the kid fell!"
Ifrit: "Honestly Bakasura, how can you be so careless to let one of these things grittan live!"
Bakasura: "Oh please don't be so akadan about everything Ifrit! Moloch liked it!"
Moloch was laughing to himself in-between the bleeding. Bakasura began laughing again before Ifrit Punched him into the ground.
Bakasura: "What the hell was that for!"
Ifrit: "You must focus! Look at Moloch, those injuries were from a human without magic! Now look at her, she has something."
Lyra wanted to run in. She pulled out her blade again with Shakey hands. Suddenly Bakasura vanished from sight then instantly appeared in front of Lyra. He pushed her blade down with a finger.
Bakasura: "Nah Ah ah. I wouldn't do that if I were you right now."
Ifrit: "Where are my manners darling! So sorry you had to see us squabbling like that. Let me introduce us. I am Ifrit, the one in front of you is Bakasura. And this fellow next to me is Moloch."
Lyras eyes grew shallower. Her grip became tighter and was pushing against Bakasuras finger.
Tomoe: 'Don't fight them Lyra. You're outmatched and outnumbered. Look for a way out and run.'
Lyra: 'But Tomoe... Emille.'
Tomoe: 'I understand but you'll just end up dying too.'
Lyra started scanning the area for a way out then saw a hole in the camp wall.
Lyra: 'I found a way out. I just have to get this guy off me!'
Tomoe: 'Use it Lyra.'
Lyra shook her head then pulled her blade back from Bakasura.
Bakasura: "Good girl."
She didn't sheath it but, instead pointed it behind her. Her hair started to stand on end. She began breathing in as the Air around them became denser and still.
Lyra: "Thunder Slash!"
She quickly pulled her blade forward slashing Bakasura from Hip to Shoulder. Her blade looked like a flash of lightning striking. As she sheathed it a loud thunderclap could be heard all around them.
Bakasura: "vyabhichar!"
He fell back but his wound didn't flow blood. The blade struck so fast the friction cauterized the wound. She then picked Emille up and ran through the opening. She was stopped by the sigils.
Lyra: "Thunder Slash!"
Without a target the blade just sent a wave of pressurized air toward the sigils making them blow up. She ran through the new path into the ruins of the city. She found a small outcrop she could hide in.
Lyra: 'Now I can hide. Those guys were crazy. I don't know if any of us can't beat them.'
She suddenly fell on the ground.
Lyra: "Dammit! Two must be my limit for a day."
