Luci locks eyes with one of the monsters, gazing deep into its skull cavity. She starts to breathe very quickly, and sinks down to one knee as if in prayer.
"I'm going to take each one of these bastards out, old yeller style," Luci says confidently. "Only thing is, I don't want you guys to have to watch. So its going to look like I'm running away, but I'm NOT, what I'm actually doing is leading them away so I can kill them privately. You see that kinda glow out there?" Luci asks, pointing out behind the pack of beasts. Indeed the distinct neon glow of 1980s Miami seems to flicker in the distance, surrounded by tendrils of darkness slithering steadily closer towards it. Luci does not wait for a response.
"Wait for me there, hold off the Nightmares as long as you can." Luci says as she finishes lacing up her worn sneakers.
The Sage sighs deeply, resigned to the loss of another brave, young idiot. Still, he must offer her a recourse.
"Luci," he begins reasonably. "Perhaps-"
"Nope, already laced up my shoes," she says as she stretches her legs.
A demon studies her carefully.
Luci seems to skip through time for a moment, dashing forward to punch one of the beasts square in its face. The beast seems more offended than hurt, and in a fit of fury leaps for Luci's throat, but she backpedals easily out of reach of its snapping jaws. She dances off to the left, putting daylight between herself and her party members. The beasts start to split their attention, with only a few guarding the Sage and Kazura, and the rest chasing Luci in a wide circle around them. The beasts yip and howl in frustration, until eventually the entire pack is nipping at Luci's heels.
Luci casts one last lingering glance at the pair, and sprints away, the pack of beasts in tow.
