Arabelle stands ever so slightly shaking as she takes a highly defensive stance. A bloody wing begins to unfold as someone slowly walks past the army leaving even the remaining flames shaking. Agnes begins to back away. A second wing slowly unfolds. Celina loses her focus as Chiasa yells within her head. A third wing unfolds. Godwine shakes as he observes the person. Slowly a fourth wing unfolds gracefully as the army falls to the floor silently. A voice speaks to Godwine demanding control as a fifth wing spreads. Elias's arm shakes as tightly grips his sword. A sixth wing unfolds this one with a hole all the way through it. Katelyn begins to glance around at her arrows scattered across the floor as she checks her empty quiver hoping there was something left. A seventh wing darker than even night itself unfolds. Tasha's hands shake, unable to focus on anything as she watches each wing spread. As an eighth wing extends, laughter fills the throne room. Fire consumes the demon's arm as he stares down Celina.
"I bet Chiasa is all scared right now isn't she?" As the demon talks, fire encases the flames, and their screams fill the throne room. "And I bet Yon is finally opening his disgusting prideful mouth," a large smirk spreads across the demon's face as he stares Katelyn down. "And that daughter of yours," at those words Katelyn freezes. "Struck a cord did I?" The demon smiles knowing what he is doing to Katelyn. "I heard that the tails have struck a deal."
Silence fills the air as the demon smiles staring Katelyn down. Katelyn falls to her knees, her vision growing blurry, unable to focus on anything until a single image fills her mind. A child with a face similar to Katelyn's own. She runs through a field laughing. The throne room fills with the sound of a snap. Katelyn's blood drips down her arm as the wood of an arrow stabs into her palm. "No. My daughter never died. She is alive under the protection of her father," slowly she opens first fist the broken arrow falling to the ground. "She said she would be there with father waiting for my return home," Katelyn's mind fills with the child's pinky holding onto her own. "Don't you lie to me you demon scum!" without warning the blood dripping down Katelyn's arm lights into flames consuming her elbow to her palm. Elias looks at her his eyes shaking with fear. "My daughter would never stoop so low to make a deal with a demon," Godwine, and Celina both turn to look at Katelyn. "Hervy would never let our daughter die!"
"Oh but that is where you are wrong human," as the demon interrupts Katelyn he steps forward. "Hervy was such a fun one to make a deal with," Katelyn's eyes fill with rage as the flames grow more and more intense, violently spurting in different directions. "Bloodflame magic has always been one of my favorites to fight against, you know," the demon turns, looking towards the entrance to the throne room. "The wyverns and valkyries will be here soon. Allow me to make easy work of you all so I may return in one piece."
In one sudden and brash motion the demon wings spread and sharp plumes go flying outwards before locking onto different targets. Katelyn doesn't even glance at them, simply running forward towards the demon. Godwine watches as Katelyn runs towards the demon as he watches each plume closely.
"She's gonna get herself killed if she charges in like that," Arabelle quickly runs after Katelyn watching as the flames grow. "She's burning her own blood, she isn't going to last!"
"Good," Celina gives a short response as she evades the plumes deflecting some.
"Celina don't be an ass," Tasha watches as each vine she leads to defend her is shredded by the plumes causing one to reach her leaving a deep cut on her arm. "You can be an ass to her for what she said all you want after we survive this."
Elias raises his shield blocking as many plumes as he can before they begin to go around the shield one impales his thigh the his shoulder. As he groans in pain he falls to one knee grabbing his shoulder in pain.
The demon smiles as Katelyn sends flames flying towards him. "Your blood truly burns bright. It really is amazing what you humans can do when you find the trigger," the demon accepts the flames not reacting as they fly into him. "Yes, burn me with your anger."
"Shut the fuck up!" Katelyn shouts as the flame intensifies. She picks up a sword off the floor, cutting her arm and letting the blood drip onto the cold steel.
"Katelyn stop before you get yourself killed!" Godwine shouts at Katelyn as he throws a golden javelin towards the demon. As the javelin impacts the demon it quickly dissipates.
"All of you shut the fuck up!" Flame consumes the steel as her blood begins to burn. With a strong jump she launches herself at the demon as he laughs as the flames take over his vision. With a quick swing Katelyn cuts one of the demon's wings.
He roars as his wing starts to drip dark black blood. "You bastard! You dare to strike a demon just beneath Satan himself!" Without giving him a chance to turn Katelyn is already back in the air flying towards him. The demon flaps his wings once knocking Katelyn and Arabelle away.
Godwine forms another golden javelin in his hand except the tip is dark blue almost purple color. "Stay out of this Yon," Godwine calmly talks to himself as the dark blue is taken over by the golden glow of Godwine's magic.
The demon turns looking at Katelyn who stands staring him down even as her blood burns. "I will slaughter you along with the rest of your allies," he reaches his hand forward pointing at Katelyn and sharp plumes shoot out of his wings flying towards Katelyn. "You are nothing in the face of my wings!"
Katelyn doesn't care simply staring until the plumes almost hit her. With a swift move she quickly dodges before kicking one of the plumes out of the way. The sound of flapping wings is barely audible from outside the castle and the demon's eyes widen. Katelyn continues to burn her blood as she watches the black blood drip from the demon's wing. Slowly she reaches her hand out and smiles. She smiles wider than anyone has ever seen her, it's almost sadistic. The blood begins to spark some. Her smile seems to continue to grow as the demon's black blood begins to burn. Slowly flames darker than any abyss sprout. With a thunk the demon cuts his wing off quickly covering the wound as flesh begins to form. His eyes dash around the room as the sight of his own burning blood mixes with Katelyn's burning blood.
Three valkyries and two wyverns storm into the throne room but all of them stop staring at the scene of flames. "What the hell?" one of the valkyries takes a step back as she sees the smile on Katelyn's face as half her body is consumed in a flame made of her own blood.
"I will never be ok with the magic these humans have created," one of the wyverns tucks his wing in as he walks past Katelyn. He notices that one of the demon's wings is laying on the floor and his eyes widen before he turns, staring at the burning Katelyn. His eyes shake as his mind races with thoughts of how this could have happened.
As the wyvern stares one of the demon's wings cleanly slices through his neck blood flying into the air and pouring from his neck splattering onto Katelyn the walls and the demon. The other wyvern opens his mouth in shock as he readies his weapon. The valkyries all audibly gasp as they take a step back. "To kill a wyvern just like that."
Agnes watches the chaos of flames and feathers as she grabs a notebook and begins writing things down. Elias stands tightly gripping his sword and shield watching as Katelyn dashes at the demon stabbing his abdomen. Celina sighs as she runs towards the demon as the black blood seeps from the stab. The wyvern makes a weak attempt to regain his composure reading his halberd. Godwine forms another javelin chucking it as Celina runs forward. As the demon bleeds once again his blood sparks before the black flames reach his skin.
"I won't die to some pathetic humans and those damn ice mountain heaven spawns!" The demon spreads his wings as plumes begin to shoot out once more even as the pain from the fire from his blood spreads. "No this can not be! I who serve Satan to die to humans!"
As the demon reaches for Katelyn's head mere inches away he suddenly stops moving. Seconds pass and he simply stays still. The flames of the demons burning blood begin to dissipate. Blood stops dripping from his wounds but nothing happens, he continues to stand still, until Katelyn ever so slightly tries to move the demon's hand out of the way. Crack after crack appears across the demon's body before it crumbles into several pieces and with crash after crash the pieces of the demon fall to the floor. As the flames that have consumed Katelyn begin to dissipate the wyvern grabs the corpse of the other wyvern before quickly leaving with the valkyries. Katelyn breaths heavy for a few seconds before passing out and falling to the floor.
