[ It’s strange how the twist of events of a simple evening walk could change much of everything. In an instant, that was Luceti’s way of things, changing things in an instant. And Helios never even saw it coming. There were still parts of that night and parts of his soul that he never truly understood. But there were always ways of finding out. They say hands on experience is one of the best ways of learning. And this is a lesson he and several others won't soon forget. ]

[Saleh sees the fire coming, but doesn't quite recover from the spell quick enough to avoid it. At the very least, he does manage to pull the tome back, cradling it tightly in his arms, turning his body away. This only results in the fire burning him in his already injured arm. The burn on top of the flesh wound prompts a loud scream of agony from the sage as he collapses to his knees.]

[He snaps his head back in Isaac's direction. He can't let Isaac win, not this time. Not when both Saleh and Julia's lives were at stake. His stands and casts his Divine spell once more. Except this time, the ball of light rises vertically in front of Saleh, and then drops towards Isaac from above.]

[Hearing the hiss of singing skin and the accompanying cry of pain, Isaac’s pulse quickens briskly and his nerves tingle with a feral satisfaction. A bit of tit for tat and but a sweet taste of what would come. But the beam of light from Saleh’s tome arcs through the air and catches him in a delayed attempt to dive out of range. Both Dracula’s black magic and Apep influence react violently to the energy lancing through him, the pain different from that of an electric jolt. Every fibre of his being squirms in torment, and for a brief moment, it’s the most he can do just to shake and gasp and curse breathlessly while on his hands and knees, his eyes wide and staring blankly into empty space.

The dragon’s quick to act in his master's stead. Its landing had been clumsy at best, and in its state, there is no chance of it taking flight until it has recovered outside this battle. Still, the creature is not without its uses. Smoke coils from its nostrils as it musters the will to spew fire yet again - but this time, in steady stream that sweeps from side to side in an effort to burn Saleh and Julia in turn.]

[Apparently, the creature was still able to fight, despite its condition. As much as it pained Saleh to attack an injured creature, he found himself with no choice but to do so, at least to keep Julia from being burned. He moved out of range of the creature's flame and quickly cast his Divine spell again, targeting the creature now.]

[The beam strikes Crimson squarely and with a force that effectively intercepts its attack, causing it to reel on its feet, wings trembling. It throws back its head in a roar, tenaciously clinging to life still. But lacking the energy to be capable of performing significant magical abilities, it is far more than a liability than an asset, an easy target even if it were to bound at Saleh and to clamp its jaws around him or bludgeon his legs with a swing of its heavy tail.

On on his feet and undeterred, Isaac dismisses the creature for a well-deserved rest, fighting to shake off his daze long enough to bring his thoughts to sharp focus. Another devil will summoned in its stead, this one more agile and ferocious... and familiar, no doubt.]

[ That had most certainly been a close one, and Julia had seen enough. There was no helping it now; while she was physically no match for her brother, not by a long shot, and Saleh... she was not willing to risk his life, either.

She didn't want to have to do this, but... ]

...Saleh, his weakness is ice. If you know any ice spells... use them. They will, at the very least, slow him down.

[ She looks guilty... and she fixes Isaac with an apologetic look. 'Forgive me, brother...' ]

[Saleh turns his head slightly towards Julia, not wanting to draw too much attention to her.]

Ice...?

[Fortunately, he has acquired an ice spell some time ago, and he brings it out, somewhat reluctantly. Fimbulvetr, the most powerful of the anima-based spells, save for the sacred Excalibur. He casts the spell, thrusting out a palm towards Isaac. A twister of blistering cold wind and snow forms in between the fighters and moves towards the Devil Forgemaster.]

[Isaac’s expression twists into a rictus of fury as he overhears them while standing in their midst. Jerking his head to the side, his narrow-eyed gaze suddenly locks onto Julia, sharp and threatening as a knife – and he angles his trident blade-down, resting a foot behind one of the side-blades before sliding towards her on his spear, dead-set on slicing her in two.

It’s the chilling blast slams against his body, knocking him off course and nearly clean off his feet. Staggering, he recovers his footing in time to be caught again by the blustering winds unleashed. Clenching his teeth, the Forgemaster ducks his head with his arms crossed in front of him in rudimentary defense, his fiery red hair wildly blown about.

There’s little more than he can do for the moment but to rely on Abel, its arrival marked by a glimmer of light in the air and the dramatic unfurling of its feathered wings.]

Kill! [He hisses, the verbal command unneeded. Primed to strike, the devil plunges into a portal that opens in the ground, a line of sputtering flames trailing it as it seeks Saleh from below. And as it draws near, it readies itself to spawn a powerful explosion beneath his feet.]

[ She's fortunate that Saleh knows that spell, because had he not, she would have... well. She wouldn't be in one piece anymore, that was for sure.

Using the opportunity, Julia pushes herself back to her feet quickly glancing from Isaac and over to Abel; unfortunately, however, it's too late before Julia can act. Isaac's already given the command, much to her horror. ]

Saleh, please be careful!

[ Looking back over at Isaac, her hands ball into fists again. She feels a little more than useless at this point, and this is a feeling she most certainly detests. They can slow Isaac down all they want, but in the grand scheme of things, it isn't FIXING anything or making him normal. ]
