Kazarn screeched to high heavens when he felt Solomon’s teeth and claws at his midsection. He twisted and thrashed, trying to get the tiny demon off of him. He fell to the ground on his back, his body curling up around Solomon so that Kazarn’s mouth could be conveniently close to the gargoyle. Then, Kazarn let out a jet of sand from his mouth, with much more force than the one last exerted. He also tried to claw at Solomon with his tiny bug legs, hoping to get a stab in or two.<br/><br/>Ruby grabbed her middle and looked towards Kazarn, who was busy dealing with the gargoyle. She gritted her teeth. She had honestly expected Kazarn to be better at his job, considering this was the only job they had been assigned. But they couldn’t defend themselves from a few newbies and an angry horse. She flared her nostrils, a few sand particles flying through them.<br/><br/>Joe had recovered considerably, and was now running up towards Ruby with the axe. He swung, hitting Ruby with the blunt end. She made a grunting noise, and then saw Azoth charging at her. She made a small smile, which confused Joe, and then she grabbed Joe’s arm and gave him a sand-propelled kick into Azoth’s line of fire. Joe was laid flat out on the ground, nearly right under Azoth’s hooves. He pulled his jacket up to shield himself from the heat.<br/><br/>Aamu shook her head and looked around, her eyes finally stopping spinning. She bristles when she saw what exactly was going on with Ruby, Azoth, and Joe, and growled, “Azoth, stop!” She knew he wouldn’t be happy about taking orders from her, but at this time it seemed kind of necessary.<br/><br/>With that done, Ruby instead turned towards Kazarn, slowly walking towards the struggling demon. She didn’t acknowledge his struggle or suffering at all. Instead, she beckoned him with a hand and said, “Time to show them what we’re really made of.” She stuck her tongue out, the mark shining a bright red.
