Inadi saw Lesley's necklace and heard just what he didn't want to hear. With all the fighting they did before they did not have a whole lot of ammunition to handle this witch. Plus with his shoulder and leg now bleeding pretty bad and from a lot of points since he wasn't just stabbed in one place made him really nervous. He didn't have the kind of energy needed to do that whole spire trick again and he probably would start feeling the effects of blood loss before he knew it. Even now he was getting a little light headed.

Sadly that didn't seem to stop a splitting headache from making his eyes go wide as he heard a scream that he almost didn't recognize. Turning with Lesley he saw Leila screaming out loud. It was no doubt that it was at the witch but Inadi wasn't sure what all that would accomplish in the end. If screaming at something made it run away, he would have done it to that mushroom monster from all those days ago. Strange how it seemed like that fight was ages ago but it wasn't at the same time. They always said time flied when you had fun. Guess it went by even faster when you were fighting for your life in. Definitely didn't tell you that when you grew up in the house.

After the scream the witch seemed to disappear and that made Inadi all the more worried. This kind of monster wasn't just gonna run off until all of them were dead or worse off. His eyes constantly shifting Inadi couldn't help but notice that his grip on the spear in his hand was getting a little slick. The blood was now all the way down his arm into his hand. Looking at it he noticed a strange shifting in the earth beneath him and suddenly was taken in by roots that shot from the ground. Inadi growled in agitation as he tried to swipe at them with his spear, but they turned out to be a lot tougher than spider webs. Every time he swung the weapon at the wood it would get stuck coming out. Agitation grew and he saw the group trying to save Leila all while being caught up in their own rooted trap. This witch was getting on his last damn nerve.

All the while Leila was sinking, Leon was suddenly pulled up into the air as well. Clearly the witch was trying to divide and conquer now. Ace was chasing after him and Inadi couldn't do anything but feel the strain of his ankles as the wood tightened with every swing he made at the damn roots. Suddenly Leon was thrown into the trees and Inadi felt what he knew would end up happening once the witch showed up. Leon was gone. One of the humans was dead now. Without knowing if it was fury or panic, Inadi began grabbing the roots by hand and tried prying himself loose with his bare hands. With strength and adrenaline renewed, the grip let loose as he began trying to figure out what to do next. Leon was gone and there was nothing they could do about it. 

While he was trying to see the situation and how they could approach it, Haku suddenly became more unlike himself than ever before. He charged the witch only to find a fate similar to that of Leon, only worse in his eyes. Inadi watched as he turned to stone against the witch and it made his heart sink. Now they were down two members of their current group and he was forced to take in the fact that three people he had met here in Nowhere were now gone for good. Inadi dropped to his knee and began looking down at his wound. The blood still poured and it seemed like there were twice as many holes there now then there were before. His blood loss was getting worse and he was watching as now Harper began charging at the witch. Inadi tried to chase after him to stop him but could only watch as the boy he had grown to view as a younger sibling and captain get hit by the witch as well. Lesley looked over him from afar and Inadi could feel his own courage slipping. Things were going south so fast.

Right as he felt his focus slip into nothing. A different voice then any he had heard appeared and he spun to it. A hooded person and another guy showed up seemingly out of nowhere. Inadi held up his spear to them, though it was a meek attempt at defense. The spear shook in his had as he was constantly fixing his grip on the weapon. Though it seemed they were friendly enough as they began announcing the way to kill a witch. Something about eyes, limbs and then the heart. The source of the problem. The guy looked to him as well as Ace and Riley and told them to distract the witch. Normally Inadi would have argued and asked how to go about such a task, but he quickly nodded and limped as best he could to an open space. He looked around and noticed the shifting black mist he remembered from before when he was stabbed. Summoning a slight amount of his magic he took a small ball of lightening in his palm and slammed it to the ground. A shock wave of bolts shot out in a circle and passed through most things. However when the wall of lightening hit the mist it was announced with a yelp. The mist was jerking back and forth now and Inadi smiled. Now was time for a little payback.

With as much adrenaline as he could summon he began chasing after the mist and swung his spear at it. While the blade was phasing through the mist like it wasn't even affecting it, Inadi was sure that it was at least keeping the witch focused on him for the moment. Without turning his head he shouted back at Riley and Ace. “Just watch out in case she tried to split up again or something. We need to find out some way to get that black heart of this thing. Ask the person in the hood,” He shouted as he gave a quick slash that slammed his spear into the ground underneath him. The mist was still moving around and the small lightening bolts had wavered. Yet Inadi knew he was at least doing something, as opposed to what he was doing before. “They clearly know something more than we do.” He told the two girls as he continued chasing after the mist. 

One more slash apparently was all the witch was able to put up with as a sudden push sent Inadi sailing across the area towards the barrier dome that Jasper and Martini were in. Sliding towards Jasper he looked up at her and saw the tears in her eyes. Looking back he knew that Avian was likely dead. Feeling guilt build in his chest he used his spear to pick himself back up. Without looking back at Jasper Inadi began running back to where he last saw the black mist, blood pooling down his leg and arm now. After all he had said to Avian, now he was dead. For no reason other than the fact he was told to look after the humans. He was ordered to look after him. His death was his fault. Four people Inadi knew were dead now. And some sick feeling in his gut made him believe each were somewhat his fault. The mere belief filled him with rage. Rage that went into each limp as he kept the witch focused on his spear tip.
