Ijemaru looked over his shoulder to see a demon, who was very likely planning to attack him, be shot through the skull by what looked like an enchanted arrow. The light-haired human looked to the dwarf, whom was obviously responsible, and offered a slight smile. "Thanks for the hand," he said.<br/><br/>The human thought for a moment. Getting caught was definitely<span style="font-style: italic">not</span>in his plans. "Oh Black," he called, "when you get a moment, let's take this outside."<br/><br/>---------------<br/><br/>Black was fighting hard. He'd taken several demons so far while using only minimal amounts of magic. He didn't harbor strong emotions for his own kind, but killing them like this still felt wrong. But he could do nothing to resist the damned human's orders. The harder he tried to resist, the more the mark on his hand burned, and his body would not even slow.<br/><br/>The demon cursed under his breath when he heard another command being given. To his surprise though, his body didn't immediately move to go outside. Was the seal weakening? Perhaps it was only temporary? No, that hope was immediately shot down when he thought about the wording.<span style="font-style: italic">So that's how it is huh?</span><br/><br/>"Seriously," Black said, voicing this to the paladin, still fighting relatively close to him, "anytime. Feel free to kill that white-haired human back there."<br/><br/>---------------<br/><br/>Ijemaru casually stood up and walked closer to the fray, and in turn, the doors. A demon saw him and came at him with an axe. He recoiled, a dagger in his throat, and promptly dropped his own blade on top of himself.<br/><br/>Ijemaru laughed at the sight and retrieved his dagger, as well as the other he'd thrown earlier. He turned toward the area of the battle where his demon familiar was and smiled sadistically, his eyes wild with excitement. "I'll be waiting outside for you. Oh, and Black," he called, standing in the doorway. His eyes narrowed slightly, "Don't ever ask or order someone to kill me again." He laughed, walking outside.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">Damn!</span>The demon thought.<span style="font-style: italic">He has ears like a bat.</span>Speaking of sharp hearing, Black was going to have a serious headache after the clammer of this battle.
