Lièrén was reading when he heard the sound of footsteps on the floor of the hallway, he thought Shie had come back again to talk to him about something, but then he listened again and it was much to light to be a human.<br/><br/>"Gods protect me"<br/><br/>He muttered to himself and then painfully got out of bed and grabbed the sword he had gotten from the town and held it tightly in his hand. He stood deadly silent, ignoring the pain in his ribs as they eached, he kept listening out for the footsteps that were still moving, growing louder slowly. Then he heard the low hiss, it was quieter than the previous hisses he had heard when he had encountered demons, but it was unmistakable.<br/><br/>"Come you little beast, come and get me if you dare"<br/><br/>He was muttering to himself, feeling on edge, he was injured and in no state to fight, but he needed to defend himself.<br/><br/>A shadow appeared at the door and he steeled himself, waiting for the attack to come.
