The world seemed to throb in sync with The half-demon's head as he slowly awoke form his slumber. He could faintly feel someone gripping his shoulders, and a rough voice speaking in a language he couldn't understand. His consciousness faded in and out of reality. Pain gripped Koal every time he would shift. The dragon had dealt him a grievous wound. The wounds on his back seemed to drain a little more of Koal's strength every time his heart pulsed.
His mind drifted, seeking to shield Koal from the pain of his reality. A strong mental barrier enveloped his own, blocking the pain from him. It was still there, yet it wasn't. Like trying to speak to someone underwater. "Are you alright, young one?" The melodic voice of his demonic teacher, Leah, echoed through his mind. "I've...I've been better, to be honest" His voice sounded foreign to him. Deeper. Rougher. " Don't go back the way you came, it is infested with dragons, seeking your blood for killing one of their brethren." Her instructive tone turned more serious. "Don't trust Seraph,Koal, he seeks to deceive you, as he has deceived many others." Her voice began to tremble. "Whatever you do, don't give in to him. He WILL kill you. The Scythe cannot be his." Before Koal could gather his thoughts and question her on what she meant, The half-demon snapped back to reality.
Koal let out a groan as Ren and Nihilus hoisted him up by his arms, each supporting some of his weight as they began to move forward. Almost as if they were running away from something. Nihilus was cursing as he and Ren tried to move faster, but the weight of Koal seemed to be slowing them down. So Koal made a decision. "Leave me. You'll be able to get away if you leave me." Koal removed his arm from both of their shoulders, drawing the demonic blade from it's sheath as he did so. Ren and Nihilus took off without a second thought, dashing through the dark cave system, spinning around stalagmites that seemed to materialize out of nothing.
The demon spawn wrenched his sword out of the stone floor of the cave, letting out a pained grunt as he did so. Lynch took a tentative step forward, his eyes not quite adjusted to the darkness that shrouded the cave. He let out a short scream as he twisted the wrong way, the long incisions on his back flaring to life with a painful vengeance. His legs buckled from beneath him, crumpling like pieces of paper.
Koal's eyes watered as he held back tears of pain and frustration. The seal in his left eye and hand had gone dark. He was on his own. He would die here, in this dark cave, home to the heartless creatures that called this barren wasteland home. His violet iris's lightened to red as Seraph made his presence known. "So that's it, Koal, you give up? Pathetic." Seraph's mocking tone filled his head. "I expected more from you. I expected you to face your fears, not submit to them." Koal got the impression that if Seraph had a body, he would be shaking his head in disappointment.
Hiiiiiisssssssssss
The dragon's yellow, serpentine eyes peered out of the dark, joined by three other sets of eyes. They hissed in harmony, the rise and fall of their breaths creating an almost hypnotizing effect. The topaz eyes seemed to lock on to Koal's entire being. Somewhere in the back of his mind, the young man wondered if this is what a hare felt like before it was captured by a wolf. Bowing his head and trembling, Koal bowed his head, and began to pray to everything to could think of, to get him out of this nightmare. To save him...
