Aamu bunched up behind the rest of the group. She caught sight of the giant centipede demon, and let out an audible sigh of discontent. Her human hands clenched together and she cracked her knuckles in preparation for the battle ahead.<br/><br/>"Wait," said Joe, confused. "Why fight? Maybe we can talk it through? The chick doesn't seem that unapproachable," he said with a half-smile, which was met with Aamu's unwavering, yellow stare. Joe's shoulders hunched in disappointment and he clutched the axe that he had pilfered off of the armor with more desperation than before.<br/><br/>The chick to which Joe was referring to looked at her opponents and turned to Kazarn quizzically. "Really?" she asked, slamming her fisticuffs together. Sand dribbled from her fingers. The centipede shrugged. She sighed.<br/><br/>"Since you couldn't take the horse last time, take the blond and the tiny thing. I'll deal with the others," Ruby decided. Kazarn regarded her for a moment, and then without too much hesitation, broke into breakneck scuttle towards Solomon and Salem.<br/><br/>The centipede reared up on its back legs, and lunged towards the two with its mouth agape, rows of teeth white between the grains of sand pouring from its mouth.<br/><br/>The sudden movement caused Joe and Aamu to shuffle to the side in synchronization, more towards Azoth.<br/><br/>Ruby tightened her fists, sand pouring from her palms. She moved her arms and swept up the sand beneath her, and glided up towards Azoth and the two others. In preparation of the blast of flame from the hellhorse, Ruby shot a large wall of sand towards them, honestly wondering if that would be enough to end the fight.
