Black stood next to his master, staring at the human and waiting for an order to attack the goblins. So far none had come, and the human hadn't even pulled out the blades his hands were resting on. Black surveyed the fray. The male elf, Nymeri, was doing well with his bow and taking out many of the little critters. In fact, none of them had even come to where they were standing near the back of the pack yet. The demon turned back to look at his master again.<br/><br/>"So, are you going to order me to attack?"<br/><br/>"No, not just yet," the human muttered, a contemplative look on his face.<br/><br/>"So why did you call me over here?" Black asked, feeling a bit irritated now.<br/><br/>Ijemaru pulled himself so he was standing more upright and removed his hands from his weapons. "Well, despite how things looked when I called you, I don't think we'll need to lift a finger here."<br/><br/>"You think Nymeri can take all of them out alone?" Black asked, as he seemed to be the only one really fighting at the moment.<br/><br/>"Nymeri... that's the elf man?" the boy asked absently. "Yes, I think he could with time. He certainly looked capable when you two were fighting back to back in that tavern. But since you showed up alone... may I ask where your dragon friend is?"<br/><br/>"Kyralae? She just flew off a moment ago. I think she smelled the goblins or something. So, you really just want us to sit back and wait for Nymeri to finish them off?"<br/><br/>"Yes," Ijemaru said, "I want us to wait."<br/><br/>The demon didn't understand the boy's reasoning, but in just a moment Kyralae appeared. It happened in what seemed like an instant. Kyra killed the hobgoblin and suddenly she was their leader. Black glanced back at his master. He seriously doubted he'd predicted this would happen, either way they hadn't needed to fight after all.<br/><br/>"Well that's done," Ijemaru said, loud enough for the others to hear. "On to the capitol then?"
