Impermissus had almost tripped the same way Terra did, yet fortunately he recovered. Leaning against the tree open palmed he replied.
"I certainly hope so." Was all he said, looking forward, then noticing something shifting in the shadows.
"Look out!" He shouted, as a crescent ark of darkness ran past them and into the group. As it reached the middle of them, whether or not it actually hit anything, a shape formed, and form it two tentacles lashed out, one taking a swing at Hikaru, another at Sapientia.
Unfortunately, Sapientia was hit dead on, before she could even draw her blade the pointed tentacle stabbed into Sapientias left shoulder as it seemed to be draining her of something. She shouted out and drew her blade and made a swing for it. It drew back just in time, which was a rare occurrence with her speed, yet she felt near drained of energy, and tumbled over, grabbing her wounded shoulder.
From the shadow still lingering emerged a demon, which was immediately recognized by Dirge and Impermissus, who rushed to Sapientias side. Dirge drew his blade and stared down the creature as did Memoria.
"Ok, this guy isnt tough at all, just dont let him touch you!" He warned, this was one of the few of Mortems lackies, one of his daemon who serve under him. All together, there are only four or five, this one is the first of them normally sent in.
Cory watched from above and drew his daggers wondering whether or not he could get the jump on it, but a glance from the daemon to him made him hide deeper in the shadows, this thing had the hunters eye, and his stealth would be worthless agianst it.
