Lucia's Point of View
Helmsforth Temple
Cassidy shoved past him in alarm as his eyes fell to the floor once more in understanding. "I'm sorry, Lady Lucia, but there is nothing more we can do. He'll pass in a matter of minutes." He sighed and gestured down the hall. "If you'd like to say your goodbyes, now is the time. I'll inform General Alwin and General Kheri before checking in on the Priestesses."
He walked off as my eyes slowly moved to the door. My body moved while my mind was still processing what the doctor said. Arthur was going to die. The door to Arthur's room opened and there he was. Laying on a table with Cassidy staring at him with wide eyes.
Red spots decorated the sheet that covered most of his body. His remaining arm was laid on top for some manner of inspection, but the dripping of blood onto the floor was eerie. It was from the remains of his right arm. There was a pan on the floor collecting the blood as it ran down the table and dripped onto the floor.
Before I knew it, I was looking down at him as well in disbelief. His lips were turning blue against overly pale face. Reaching out almost instinctually, my fingertips caressed his skin in disbelief, and I felt how cold Arthur felt. It was a far cry from all the warm moments we had shared. After all, Arthur was always so full of life, and powerful, even when he was complaining. To see him like this...
"Arthur?" Typhon's voice cut in from behind us.
Turning, I saw the young boy along with Alwin and Kheri. No doubt they had heard the news. Pulling my hand back, I turned away from them and looked back at the floor while Cassidy just kept her gaze on Arthur's chest. It was barely rising or falling. A subtle breath could be heard if it were silent, but it was just as easy to miss.
????'s Point of View
The Island
His multiple eyes shifted to me. "You've been running here and there like the rabbit you are." He replied in his guttural tone. "You want to spend some time with me, you know where to find me."
My bow shifted once again back into its sword form as I glared hard at the Demon. "You're here now."
"And you're all by your lonesome like always. Do you really believe yourself capable enough to face all of us? I'm sure you remember our last bout." He replied with a smirk. "Or do you need to run off again?"
"I had my reasons for running that you could never hope to comprehend." My eyes darted to the two brothers. "However, I am outnumbered, and you are Thana's favorite for a reason. I would never consider facing all five of you by myself."
Credo saw my look and he slightly shifted before moving to my side with some space between us. "But if she doesn't need to fight all five of us, I think we're more than a fair match for your little band."
Pestilence chuckled darkly. "So far away from your precious Queen. So far away from her blanket of safety."
Tor's smirk fell as he showed a teethy frown. "I need no safety from the likes of you." His tone was sharp, but he floated closer to his allies. "However, as I said, I am under orders." Turning to Sulva and Flare, he issued them orders. "Burn everything."
His body quickly twisted into black mist as Flare and Sulva began to summon their magic. I readied to stop whatever spell or attack they might try to use, but my eyes widened when I saw the very sky begin to alight. Fire burned and crawled across the sky in every direction. As if an orb was expanding from the two Demons, with no signs of stopping, I gritted my teeth before flying away.
Credo and Pestilence had the same idea. This was an attack meant to destroy anyone, and anything, in the entire area. No doubt their entire magic supply would be depleted from this, but it would prevent us from getting close to them. They were as good as gone with Tor there, which irked me to no end. However, we needed to get away from the expanding sphere of flames that was evaporating the ocean below us.
While it was annoying, it wasn't too dangerous for us to outrun. Soon, the orb vanished and with it, Flare, Sulva, and Tor had all disappeared. No doubt they had returned to The Crimson Wasteland. Credo, Pestilence and I all came to a stop over the ocean. The brothers weren't much of a concern of mine. Our paths had crossed before and they had escaped my wrath, but they seemed different from other Demons.
My full attention quickly turned to them without the other Demons present and they faced me in response. "I think it's time we had a chat. Just the three of us." I said with a hard glare at the two Demons.
They were slippery, but I was confident I could prevent them escaping for a time. "Perhaps this is a chance to move forward and put our past encounters behind us...." Credo said softly as he rested a hand on Pestilence's shoulder.
We both agreed to this, and yet, none of us made the first move. Neither of them reverted from their transformed state and I kept my sword at the ready. After all, if there's one thing I learned in all my years on Crevalis, it's that you can't trust any Demons, but that doesn't mean you can't use them.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
