Thread: As the Gods Will It (DudeGuy and Sorrows Solace)

Rios sent both of the summoned spirits towards the face of the creature the metallic blades they wielded were aimed directly into the eyes of the beast. The blades narrowly missed their targets, as the creature moved it's hands in to defend itself. As it heard, the other person would be coming in on it's left, so it quickly defended in that direction. As soon as she saw this, Corvo circled around the creature and hit it on the right, causing it to stumble just as soon as it started to move forward. What followed after this was an amazing display of skill and athletic ability on Sarathya's part. It seemed as if she remembered something in the midst of this battle, as she just. . .well, It was safe to say that Sarathya was much better than even Corvo had been expecting. The enchanted blade that she carried did a number on the demon, causing it to flail about in pain. Corvo's weapon was tucked back into it's sheath and she jumped back a bit, preparing to attack it once more when she noticed that it was moving. . .strangely. Rios called his summoned spirits back to him and took a defensive stance with his staff. This demon was doing something. You. . .all of you. . .you haven't the slightest idea what you've done , the demon said. The language it spoke in wasn't English, rather, the ancient language. Even if Sarathya and Rios didn't understand it, Corvo did. Consider your insignificant lives forfeit. You're heads will be mine. I will present them to my master. You fools who dared to stand in the way of a God , it snarled as it thrashed about. Suddenly, it let out a blood curdling scream, then it turned into a cloud of what appeared to be black mist and disappeared. Dared to stand in the way of a God , Corvo thought. Her eye narrowed as she stoop upright, one hand resting on the hilt of her weapon. At least they were all still alive. She body ached from the heavy blow that she had taken, but she knew from this demons declaration that it was time to pack up and leave. If they remained here, there was a good chance that they villagers would be dragged into the mess as well. What did it say, Rios asked, looking to Sarathya and Corvo for answers. He knew that it was speaking in the old language, and had been abel to pick up on a few words, but he wasn't quite sure that he fully grasped what was said. Basically, you're a marked man. It's wants your head, Corvo said bluntly. But - It doesn't matter. Right now, it's probably for the best that you, both of you, leave this village as well. That thing will come searching for us again. It's best if we don't fight that battle here amongst all of these innocent people, she responded, placing a hand on Rios' shoulder as she walked by. Rios looked down to the ground. What was he supposed to tell his family? Some demon wanted to kill him so he needed to run? So that they weren't hurt? His family needed him. He worked, he made them money, he helped out. . .he did so much. And what about all of his siblings? What would the younger ones do without their favorite big brother? And who would the bigger one's nag at every chance they could? Would it really be okay for him to just go?
