Mary
*As Makimi would look through the coastline, she would see a massive black shape curled up in the sand. Behind it the remains of ships and the crew could be seen scattered within the dark waters.*
Stefanie
*Makimi paused for a moment. This thing, whatever it was, didn't look anything like the creatures she had fought before. She needed to test this.*

*Her sword, which was holy, would burn the flesh of any demon that som much as touched it. She took the hilt of the weapon and very carefully pressed it against the massive shape.*
Peggy
*The black shape roared in pain as it's tail unfurled and attempted to tail swipe her.*
Stefanie
*Thinking fast, she jumped over the swinging tail and assumed a fighting stance, gripping onto her sword tight*
Peggy
*The shape unfurled itself as giant black wings came into view as the figure turned around. It was a giant black dragon as its crimson eyes stared at Makimi*
Stefanie
`"Reveal your true form, you wretched imposter! Your draconic disguise can no longer fool me!"`
Peggy
*The dragon glared at her in fury.* 
"So instead of declaring war like civilized people they instead send a weak assassin to fight me?" *He flapped his giant black wings backward to push Makimi back with the wind force behind them.*
Stefanie
*Makimi flew backwards like a feather in the wind before taking a hard tumble onto the ground.* 

`"Ugh... This could be harder than I thought it would be..."`
Peggy
"You foolish little girl. I am Lord Vylius, and you have made the mistake of provoking my ire. I will be sure to send your masters my regards by delivering your ashes myself."
*The black dragon then let out a torrent of black fire at Makimi.*
Stefanie
*With cat-like reflexes, she rolled out of the way, getting back onto her feet only seconds later.* 

`"Perhaps you mistake me for another human. I have no masters, nobody ordered me to come."`
Peggy
"Then why are you here? I suggest you speak quickly while you still draw breath." *The black dragon would open his third eye sat above his normal set that would gleam brilliantly.*
Stefanie
`"Enough talk."`

*With her sword in both hands, she leapt towards the demon, her blade pointed directly at the middle eye.*
Peggy
*The dragon grinned as he stopped her in mid air with his telekinesis.* 
"This is the best they have?"
*He tossed her to the side and breathed another torrent of black fire.*
Stefanie
*Makimi tried to roll away again, but she wasn't fast enough, and her clothes had caught fire, so she jumped into the water to put herself out.*
Peggy
*Vylius would cackle at Makimi's suffering as he slowly approached her.*
"Did you really think you could win against me by poking me with that infernal stick? Prepare to perish." 

*Vylius would raise his one of his talons and cast a spell.* "Black Lightning." *Black Lightning flew from Vylius's talon heading straight for the water near Makimi. If she's still in the water by the time the lightning hits it will spread through the water electrocuting her.*
Stefanie
*At the last second, Makimi emerged from the water, once again just barely dodging death. She slumped up against a nearby rock, panting and out of breath.*

`"I... Am not... Dead yet."`
Peggy
"You're a resilient human I'll give you that. Allow me to correct that."
*Vylius would implant his claws into the ground.* "Dark Eruption." 

*Makimi would feel a tremor beneath her as black fire would soon erupt underneath her, setting her aflame.*
Marie
*The Ghost would then appear behind Makimi as he attempted to pick her up from behind the rock and start sprinting in the opposite direction from the dragon.*
Stefanie
*Makimi, covered in burns and trying not to cry from the pain, allowed herself to be dragged away, though she wasn't yet aware that it was the Ghost trying to save her yet again.*
Peggy
*Vylius would watch the strange masked man carry the assassin away. Though the difference between the two of them was strange. He would snicker and began shooting black fireballs out of his mouth toward the pair.*
Marie
*Black fireballs would explode around them as the Ghost sprinted as fast he could with Makimi in hand.*

"What the fuck did you do?! That's not a demon that's a fucking dragon!"

*The Ghost was panting and screamed when black fireballs erupted around them.*
Stefanie
*Makimi, who was only half-conscious at this point, groaned out her answer.*

`"The dragon IS a demon... My holy sword burned his tail flesh..."`
Peggy
*Vylius would not pursue, it would seem the human did actually come on her own accord for whatever reason. He would go back to the shoreline where he originally was and curl himself up again.*
Marie
"This is NOT the demon I was speaking of you fool! It's NEAR Dimeria not all the way out here!

*The fireballs stopped and the Ghost dared to look back as he saw the dragon walking back toward the shore.*

"We're lucky that thing doesn't think we are worth it's time. Else it would have probably taken flight."
Stefanie
*It was at this point that Makimi realized who was holding her, and she tried to yank herself free. Unfortunately, just moving was too painful, and she sank into his arms*

`"You... Why are you here?"`
Marie
"Why do you think? Just relax, it's not following us." 
*The Ghost's sprinting soon turned into a slow walk as he breathed heavily.*
Stefanie
*Even though every cell in Makimi's body was in agonizing pain, she couldn't help but smirk.*

`"Thanks, Ghostie."`
