Life and Death I

Surrounded by seas of flames coloring this beautiful night in an oasis of despair. My gaze swept over the battlefield, towards the young men carved into pieces, to the dozen knights battling with all they had to stop the demons, to the waning yalvo falling short as he rested on one knee. His beard and face scorched beyond recognition, but his aura was still strong, still mighty. And yet death awaited him. 

As for Aerin? She was gone. The moment the battle broke out, she had vanished. Was she part of this? No… Yalvo was related to her. That can't be, right? Something either happened to her, or she was waiting to strike. Either way, she isn't here. 

"Have you noticed?" Lily suddenly chimed in. "The demons you killed. None of them registered in your system, did they." 

Startled, a sliver of bloodlust faded from my gaze as I paused midstep. "Your right! How?"
