Skippy paused, holding his daggers and ready to spring at any given moment. However, it suddenly sounded oddly quite. Skippy straightened and looked around. The only sounds of a scuffle were now in the kitchen, and he watched the inn keeper stumble as he moved toward the Elf.<br/><br/>Without a second thought, the Squirrel Anithrope ran around the counter, his bushy tail flowing behind him, stained with dry blood, and he ran to aid the waitress who was being attacked there, only to be nearly blinded by her mysterious power. Luckily, the Light was more intent on the demons, so he was left mostly unscathed. When the Light faded and finally winked out, Skippy could see that the girl now had wings. "Cool! So you're a Faerie? You know, I just got back from visiting your homeland, and it's been a real adventure! Why just before I left..." he rambled on, telling the tale of the beautiful cities that had encountered.<br/><br/>~~~~~~~~<br/><br/><span style="color: #40BFFF">The innkeeper nearly had a heart attack when the two demons had cornered him. He gave a shaky thanks to his rescuer as he was shoved in the general direction of an Elf maiden. His fear for his own life was replaced with concern by the young vampire woman who was the closest thing to a daughter that he had ever had went to a blood rage until she slaughtered the last of the demons, aside from those who were in the kitchen.<br/><br/>"Aye, there's a back door," the inn keeper spoke, wringing his apron with his hands. "It's through the kitchen. Amelia can you show you out." He looked around at them all, still very concerned. Then, he turned his attention back to the Elf. "I'll hold them off as best I can, just keep Amelia and especially Willow safe."</span><br/><br/>~~~~~~<br/><br/><span style="color: #00FF00">Lysonna nodded, not entirely sure how to react. It was as if a weight had been placed on her shoulders. The old man had put her in charge of the young women's lives, and she wasn't entirely comfortable. Still, there wasn't much time to argue. So she led the others into the kitchen, following Skippy. She gave Amelia a nod. "If you wish to live, you need to show us the way out now." Her voice had cut Skippy off in mid-sentence, but he didn't seem to mind. The squirrel Anithrope had almost forgotten the task at hand.<br/><br/>Skippy nodded his agreement, and looked at Amelia, his large black eyes seemed curious. "Yes, the sooner the better. Maybe I'll finish telling you what happened another time, but now we must leave here and find a safe haven."<br/><br/>Lysonna laughed mockingly. "A safe haven won't be too easy to come by. All I want is to live to fight another day."<br/><br/>Skippy inclined his head slightly as if in agreement. "You pose a good point Elf maid. At any rate, 'tis certainly not safe here."</span>
