A new day

All of the goblins circled until they got restless. Finally they started swooping down on them and slashing at them with their claws. Cuts began to appear on them as they huddled in the center together. Nadiri watched their movements, holding a knife in hand. One of the goblins went to swoop in and she deftly tossed the knife when he was a mere foot away. The knife stabbed the goblin right through the eye. It flipped backwards and then fell to the ground dead.

The other three goblins saw their kin fall and screeched in anger. They all dove down at once. This was the moment Rose and Thistle had been waiting for. When the goblins were a few feet away they began to swing. Possibly jumping the gun by a hair. Their blades sped towards the winged devils. The creatures were not completely stupid. They twisted their bodies in the air beating their wings furiously.
