Ripping at the last dregs of magical energy, Kadlai weaved the threads of magic deftly with his hands, green scales shimmering in the bright moonlight. He then applied heat to the woven magic,creating a fireball at his claw-tips which wavered from the small amount of energy used to create it. He then released it, aiming for one of the soldiers battling a Cansi Demon. The fireball hit, creating a scream from the soldier as he fell to the floor, the unnatural fires burning at his flesh. The Cansi Demon relaxed for a second, and, daggers in paws, turned to fight another soldier. Before it could lift it's arms to block the sword, the demon was decapitated, it's deformed head rolling across the floor.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">I can't stay here, I have to get out!</span><br/><br/>All around him, demons were dying. The human's had been prepared for the attack; when they had attacked at first, a fully rested defence force, of at least twice their number had burst out from the gates of Udin, decimating the front line within a few minutes. They had been doomed from the beginning, but there wasn't any escape. They had to fight on.<br/><br/>However, Kadlai had no intention of fighting on, now that the battle was as good as decided. He had used up the majority of the magical energy he had drained before the battle, and without that, the best he could muster were a few weak curses and perhaps a fireball. If he stayed much longer, he'd die. He wasn't about to die, and there was only one way out.<br/><br/>Beside him, another Vizax demon was conjuring up a large fireball. She was obviously stronger than him with magic, and hadn't needed to tap into the energy she had drained. He could see it flowing through her, feel it pulse and writhe in it's prison. Feel it's warmth. She was so intensely focused on the fireball, she barely knew he was there. She'd never expect and attack.<br/><br/>With trained speed, he struck, unleashing his full powers on her. Kadlai may not have the magical prowess she had, but he had spent many long days toning up his inbuilt ability to drain magic, and formed it into an attack. His mental spike broke through her defences before she knew what was happening, and swiftly he ripped all that magical energy from her. With a hiss, she fell to her knees, the life force keeping her on her feet suddenly gone. Kadlai kept on drawing power from her, until the spark of life in her eyes went out, and she slumped to the ground, dead.<br/><br/>Kadlai moaned with content. He was in heaven, as the warm, magical energy pulsated through his blood, sustaining him. He didn't have time to enjoy it though. Ripping that newly found energy from himself, he began to weave, power emanating from him. The spell was complicated, it took him a good thirty seconds to fully weave the energy necessary. Then, with that in place, he sent a spark of himself into the weave. As it hit, the world spun on it's head. Kadlai saw the battle rip apart in electric light. Fire burned inside him as he hurtled away from the battlefield, travelling at speeds non-weavers couldn't comprehend. He attempted to scream, but nothing came out, the pain was so great. Every nerve in his body screamed for relief. Suddenly, the world came back into focus, the electric light fading as Kadlai saw trees. The pain ripping through him died away, and Kadlai found himself lying in a clearing, the grass moving gently in the breeze around him. He'd done it, he'd left.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">Where am I?</span><br/><br/>Bringing himself to his feet, Kadlai rubbed his head and looked around. Tree's made up a wall around him, making a perfect circle. Where he had landed, a patch of scorched, dead earth sat, the grass burned away by the intense magics. Quickly Kadlai checked himself. His shirt had burned away completly, as had his trousers. The only part of his clothing still intact were his boots, which looked charred, but wearable. A wave of fatigue passed through him, blurring his vision and dropping him to his knees. Rubbing the scales a top his slender, serpentine head, Kadlai wondered what he was going to do. The main thing however, was he was alive!
