Welcome to Gaia! ::

Astrid raised a brow when she noticed Clyde's sickly reaction and watched as Daichi unleash shadows in an attempt to bind the monster. Her eyes grew wide once she saw some of the acid burn through the darkness. Flying in front of them, she fired some arrows into the small snakes. "Please Clyde, Daichi, listen to me." Turning around she faced them both, "I saw a dried lake bed behind the creature about a few yards away. If we can get it to go back there, we might be able to seal it there."

The creature screeched and lurched around in the shadow grip. As it moved, small acid snakes slithered through tiny holes. It wanted out and was doing everything to break the shadows.

Clyde

Clyde walked aside of Astrid and his arm seemed to burn and turn to a pale black. It hurt him but he didn't let it show. "I can seal it but we need to move it to the lake. It wont last long seeing as this creatures mass is.." He cut himself short and rose his arms. A blanket of pure back shadow moved over the head of the creature seeping out of the holes in Daichi's shadows. "Childs play.." Clyde said under his breath. Clyde used the blanket to cover the creature and it coiled around like a vacuum sucking in a sheet. When the beast was completely covered it turned into a bubble. A giant sphere floated slightly above the ground Clydes eye started to turn black. "Move now !" He said trying his hardest to move forward, but he needed more shadows and he already used too much power traveling. Clyde only had a cminute until he passed out. They had to move now.

Astrid flew up and went on ahead toward the lake bed. Looking back at the shadow ball holding the creature, she noticed some acid seeping out of the shadows. Firing a loose arrow at the freed snakes, they noticed her and gave chase.
Once at the lake bed, she fired arrows at the snakes and killed them. Taking pause to look into her bag, she found another vial of holy water. Knowing she couldn't use this with the demons, Astrid carefully flew toward the center of the lake bed and emptied the tiny bottle. Quickly flying up, she went toward the tree line and fired at more loose snakes.

The monster screeched and churned within the bubble. Pushing against the shadows, small serpents escaped and gave chase to the angel firing arrows. Wrath fueled his movements, thus becoming more erratic. It wanted out.

The monster spilled out of the bubble with a screech. While sending snakes towards Astrid, he noticed Clyde's body. Lurching around, he aimed for his form.

Astrid fired arrows at the snakes and dove down toward Clyde. Firing once again at the dark spot on the back of the monster, she managed to gain his attention. Hovering near Clyde, she knocked down a branch to hide his fallen body. Firing another arrow at the creature, she succeeded in getting his attention. Flying over toward the lake, she kept his attention with more arrows.
Yet, as she flew, the monster fired some acid at her. The acid caught her wing. Wincing as she felt the liquid rip through her feathers, she fell from the sky and landed near the holy water puddle. Hitting the ground hard, she was knocked unconscious.

Wincing as she rose from the ground, she jolted in pain. Looking down at her wing, Astrid found her one wing burnt from acid. Looking around, she found the monster was gone, but she could not see where Daichi and Clyde were.

Knowing that two devils were here was not good, especially when she was wounded again. Wincing as she rose to her feet, she pulled out another vial of Holy water and released it into the air. She turned into a ball of light and quickly fled the area.

Clyde

Clyde stood up an hour later and hit himself in the chest. A small tint of light broke through as a hand reached out. He pushed it back inside and his chest closed. "Cant even get any help from anyone?". He started walking away from the area. "Now I can get down to business.." He said tracking daichi's tracks. [exit]
