Akira watches as Allura drifts off to sleep heading over to the chair as he does so. Once reaching it he unbuckles the sword sheath and crossbow from his belt resting them up against the wall, there was no need for him to bare their weight this night. He slumps down into the chair stretching his legs out as far as he could without causing himself to slip off the edge . As he waits for the energy to seep out of his body he just gazes at Allura's peaceful state, his eyes becoming heavier with each passing moment. It wasn't long until his resistance to sleep was overcome by the sheer overpower exhaustion which drowned out the adrenaline granted to him in the past few hours due to desperation, and of course, his blood magic. The night would be a peaceful one the demon had been suppressed for some time and was showing no signs of regaining superior strength any time soon. Images play through Akira's mind as though premonitions of things to come, however without the demons will strong enough these images were but a passing memory fading from not only his sight, but also his mind. There would be nothing he would remember this night, just like the dreams of most mortals were forgotten...

... Back at the forest a pair of men walked, their steps almost synchronised as they did. The Shadow Slayers had gathered enough Intel to know that Akira had headed to this very forest in recent history, it was probably the best lead they've had in some time. They come to a stop as one of them raises his hand before bringing it his nose. "That smell..." He sounded disgusted from what had stopped him though his companion remained silent. The one that spoke looks around himself before changing course, the other man following closely, they soon find themselves at small opening, one with a deceivingly sheer drop mere meters from where they entered. A charred corpse lay near the tree's and the pair make their way over to it. The man that had remained silent then spoke "Those burns..."
"Yes." The other responds quickly. "He has definitely been here, recently I'd say." 
"Lance, do you really think..."
"Pursuing him may not be wise at this time Irvine, but we have no choice. This.... This body is a clear indication of that. If we don't stop him... well I wouldn't want to think what might happen." As Lance spoke the charred body began to give of a faint light, it was barely visible and Lance falls back from his knelt position as the body its eyes. "Demon! Kill it now!" Lance shouted in a panic.

Irvine swiftly drove his blade into the bodies chest, though it just seemed to ignore the wound as it stood up before them. Irvine grips the hilt of his weapon with both hands as he tries to control the situations. "Demon?" The bodies voice was raspy and blood curdling, the sort you'd expect from an animated corpse. "My my mere Mortal, how little you know." Lance and Irvine were each astounded by the creatures ability to withstand the poison coated blade. "Though I imagine the fact I'm still standing disproves that claim already." The corpse looks to Irvine "You can remove that now." not request nor order, the blade against Irvine's will slid back from the wound it had just created. "Your cause has been seen as Just and you have been chosen..."
"Chosen for what?!" Lance demanded as he stands back up from the ground.
"Know your place Mortal and do not interrupt me!" The corpse just barely managing to muster it's shout. "You were not chosen for, you were chosen by, and that was the choice of my master."
"Whatever you are, you're clearly not trustworthy." Irvine speaks keeping his weapon raised.
"ah but Mortal's you have been chosen by the divine to carry out its biding, for its mission is one and the same to yours.... more or less."
"The divine?" Lance asks with a chuckle.
"Your blasphemy will not be subject to my masters smite whilst you're helpful Mortal! It seems you know as little as he had said. Then allow me to enlighten you...."

. o O ( Lance and Irvine are side characters who will feature from time to time. I do not have an active character sheet for them though if you wish for me to create one I can )
