Listening to the arguments from both sides supporting the guides made Inadi very agitated. Oh they left their families and all that as well? Difference was that their families were at least in the same world as them for the most part. Inadi didn't know how much time had passed in his world or if his parents had already buried him in their minds as lost. Riley could shoot all the dirty looks at him that she wanted to, it wouldn't do her any good. Lesley began looking guilty and suddenly Jasper came to him and tried to calm him down. Seeing how stressed out she had become and how the guides were now clearly not in any mood to deal with questioning he pulled his spear down and scoffed slightly. 

Looking down at Jasper Inadi gave her a quick nod and turned his attention to Riley. “I'll stop for her, not for them. We all have things we've sacrificed and sure these guys may have helped the others in prior situations before we showed. But here's the thing and its the one lesson I took from my father seriously considering what a goof he actually was,” Inadi said as he watched Lesley walk away from the scene for the moment. He was the one who started the questioning and it seemed that the revelations struck him deeply. Then again it might still be leftover emotion from the whole scare earlier. “When people help you because they are paid to, take away the motivation and see how quickly they turn their attention to other ventures.” He said in a hushed tone as he threw an arm around Jasper to try and calm the girl down a bit.

However it would soon be that Inadi would need some calming as a crash brought his attention to something that was apparently sent in through a very strong airmail package. Too bad they couldn't be bothered with wrapping it up first. The unicorn they had helped earlier was now a broken down corpse and it was clear that whatever did it was not very merciful in how they went about it. “Well that's diff..” Inadi was stopped in his speech by a sudden push that threw him into the wall behind him. Now whatever killed the damned unicorn was after them too. Groaning as he tried to gain his composure again Inadi shook his head and reached for his spear that landed next to him. His vision still blurred he looked up towards where a lot of screaming seemed to be going towards. Someone looked like they were floating in the middle of the room from as far as he could tell. Leon no doubt showing off some magic of his or something. Yet the earrings were missing it seemed. And the garb looked all wrong...

Inadi's vision soon cleared up and he realized that it was Avian with what looked like a claw going right through his chest. Terrifying noises of flesh being torn and armor being rendered useless echoed in his ears as his eyes showed signs of absolute terror. The black mist that seemed to be taking up the room was similar to that of the witch. And that's when he remembered the stupid list. The heart. They didn't get the damn heart! Growling as he picked himself up off the ground the framed man watched the body of Avian be thrown into the field and Brandy cast a protective shield around them to stop the roof from caving in on top of them. And now it seemed like Lesley wanted to get a shot in at the witch by himself. 

Quickly picking himself off of the ground and towards the witch's location only to have her disappear and attack Lesley. It looked like he was choking or something similar to that. Inadi began running over to try and help only to have his momentum halted by a sudden stinging sensation in his leg. And a strange wetness as well. Slowly dropping his eyes down to his leg he saw the strange black smoke surrounding Lesley's neck was now shooting through his leg. Blood soon pouring out as well. Inadi growled in pain as another sting came into his shoulder suddenly. Looking over he saw the same exact thing that was on his leg. “So you can split your spirit into numerous spots huh? Isn't that precious?” Inadi mocked the spirit as the knife-like claws digged further into his skin. He knew he needed to do something to get these things out of him but his spear wouldn't reach them. Plus these things were like mist so it was impossible to actually hit it. 

Inadi looked over to Lesley and saw him use a rainbow attack and saw that it made the thing react. Magic clearly was their best option at this point and luckily for Inadi he had saved a bunch of magic in case of something for this. Thinking about how to do it thought was something tough. Inadi couldn't grab it since the witch could just disappear again. That was when his spear came to mind. Inadi slammed the but end of the spear on the ground and began focusing his mind on summoning a bolt for him to use. A quick cloud showed overhead and a flash of light shot down in front of him. It connected to the spear and shot through his body. Using his weapon as a lightening rod and his his own blood as a conductor he felt the lightening shoot through him. This time however it seemed like it didn't affect him like it did last time with the mushroom monster. Maybe the dragon's magic from before had something to do with it. Maybe his body got used to the magic itself. Whatever it was it helped his cause.

The current shot into the dagger like nails of the witch and a shriek came from behind him. The nails did some shaking in his leg and arm but the pain didn't seem to phase Inadi at all. The nails left him soon after and the bolt disappeared as well. Looking at his necklace he saw that took half of what magic he had left and was now left with a quarter full necklace. Turning around he saw the mist of the witch still twitching back and forth like it was still suffering from the bolt. Inadi smiled as he took his spear, still shining with a few left over bolts from the attack, and quickly sliced at the mist in front of him. Another shriek went out over the field and saw the mist disappear. Inadi's pleasure was shown on his face but he quickly lost his grin as his pain suddenly shot through him. Looking at his leg and shoulder it was clear that this was a deep cut. Shaking it off Inadi looked over to Lesley. “How much more magic you got over there Les? Since I think that this thing can only be hit by magic for the time being.” Inadi said as he grabbed his leg and felt the blood begin to drench his leg. Too bad the dragon wasn't nearby. Definitely needed a good collection of dragon magic to make this pain go away.
