Elias ventured through the ashy ruins of the city. He called out for Lyra and Emille to no avail. After about half an hour of no answers he finally hears someone.
Lyra: "Elias!? Elias over here!"
Lyra crawled out of a small hole underneath some rubble. Elias gave a big smile and ran over to her. He gave a quick hug before following her into the hole.
Elias: "Are you alright? What are you doing out here?"
He received no answer before looking over and seeing Emille. He was breathing ever so faintly and could barely move. He had a large wound in his abdomen that continuously bled. Lyra was getting ready to say something until she saw the anger begin to contort Elias's face.
Elias: "What happened to him Lyra?"
Lyras faced saddened as she looked down toward the ground.
Lyra: "I failed to protect him Elias… I'm so sorry..."
Tears started to well in her eyes. Emille then grabbed her pant leg and looked up at her. Emille gave a weak but warm smile.
Emille: "Thank... thank you... for wanting to play with... me..."
Emille coughed up blood as the light in his eyes faded. Blood trickled down his face as Lyra began crying. Elias placed his hand on her shoulder.
Elias: "Who... Lyra who! Who did this to the kid!"
Lyra: "There were three of them, demons. A tall red one, a short spikey one, and one with a Bull head."
His eyes widened as the information came out of her mouth. Lyra wiped her eyes before then closing Emille's.
Elias: "…Lyra, we got to go."
After paying their respects they headed back to the Farmhouse. After walking through the tree line, they saw the barn and farmhouse had already began smoldering. Lyra ran to the others shouting.
Lyra: "WHAT HAPPENED HERE! KAIROS! IS HE OKAY?!"
Aria: "We were attacked by a really powerful demon. He called himself Moloch, Kairos protected me from him."
Lyras eyes began to widen as she looked down at Kairos. He was completely bandaged up with blood soaking through.
Lorcan: "I patched him up best I could with my magic and some basic sutures. All we can do is hope he recovers."
Lyra face saddened a bit.
Lyra: "We shouldn't have left, at least not all of us."
Lorcan: "The damned idiot should've just run instead of risking his life fighting a demon like that."
Lorcan's Soul Binder: 'Now Now Lorcan, you'd better not be so confident. If it was you, you'd just as easily lose.'
Lorcan: 'Tch. Shut it prick!'
Elias waved Lorcan over to the side to talk.
Lorcan: "What's up?"
Elias: "The kid Emille is dead."
Lorcan's face saddened at the news.
Lorcan: "Damn... How?"
Elias: "Lyra said there were three demons there. One of them was Moloch."
Lorcan: "Shit this is really bad. Knowing Moloch existed was already bad enough, but now there are three of them that are this strong. Dammit!"
Gabriel: 'Elias, I wish to speak to you right now.'
Elias excused himself from the others and began walking over to the tree line.
Elias: 'Hey what's wrong Gabriel?'
Gabriel: 'I'm worried about your party. You all aren't nearly strong enough to fight the Demon Generals. You all will be killed so please I ask you that you don't fight.'
Elias: 'I can't do that Gabriel. They killed Emille and nearly killed Kairos and Aria. I have to make them pay!'
Gabriel sighed before speaking again.
Gabriel: 'I had a feeling you'd say that. I don't think I can convince you so instead I'll make sure you're strong enough to stand a chance. You need a way to get strong fast and I know how.'
A couple hours later the group set up a small campsite a few miles from the Farmhouse. Elias stood in front of Lorcan and Lyra while Aria sat off to the side.
Lyra: "This better be good Elias."
Lorcan: "Yeah, whatever it I'd better have been more important than helping set up camp!"
Elias smirked before speaking again.
Elias: "Actually, I'm about to make you two strong enough to defeat the Demon Generals!"
