Feeling the pillar begin to give underneath him, Isaac jumps for the ground, tucking into a roll as he lands. "There's no end to this," he realizes as he focuses on Hayley once more. However, just as he begins to move toward her, an intense wave of heat hits him. Turning toward the source, he sees a pillar of dark flame where Nigel used to be...

Just as he was about to clear his head, he felt arms grabbing at him before forcing him to the ground, breaking his concentration. In doing so, just as the sludge launches itself at his face, the bestial side of him manages to take over, resulting in a towering, dark inferno. Soon, a growling figure steps through the flames: Large horns top the creature's head, between which, a mane of black, blue, and purple fire blazes. Covering the wrists of its' muscular arms are what appear to be bracers, upon which tassels of flame are affixed. On each of the creatures' shoulders are what appear to be tattoos of flame and its' face tapers into a long snout, where sharp-looking fangs reside in it's mouth. Suddenly, it lets out a deafening roar before it lowers itself onto all fours, much like a primate of some sort, and charges straight for 'Hayley', ignoring the black sludge surrounding her.
