"Yea, I wasn't planing on letting him get that close," Hotaru said as she kept moving forwards. Ovorion did indeed stumble and crash on the rooftops with Larel's barrage, but he shot out another fireball at that instant and it barreled after them and at the last second Hotaru ducked, staring in surprise as the ball crashed in to the building in front of them. She was mostly surprised because Sybil had screeched at her to duck, and now the demon was saying it was because she would be absolutely zero fun if she was a crispy critter. Plus she was still stuck inside her so she had zero intentions of dying. 
"This is seriously getting old," Hotaru muttered before unleashing a clone of her own to face him if he kept coming before heading a few more houses forward, jumping down from the rooftops and rushing towards an old abandoned house, "This way," she called to Larel in case he hadn't followed. She went inside the house and once he was in, closed the door, "He'll assume we've kept running and keep going hopefully. He's not a natural user so he won't be able to sense us the way Mera would," She said as she sat down against the wall and sank to sit, breathing out a sigh, "We just can't get a moment, can we?"
[i]Of course not, that just would be too easy.[/i]
"How many times do I have to say shut up before she'll do it, do you think?" She was talking to Larel, looking at him.
[i]Mmmm, I don't think you'll ever actually be able to say it enough to convince me[/i]

"Are you sure it's this way?" Erin asked as they kept traveling.
"It's not going to be anywhere close by, else humans would have found it a long time ago," Raina pointed out.
"Maybe. But then again, humans don't go looking in places like this for anything because it's not exactly hospitable and there are things that would eat them faster than they could fight back," Mary pointed out as she took a breath, able to keep up easily enough with her older siblings. Though she looked young, she had a few centuries on her and was fit enough to run like this for a couple of days if need be.
But it wasn't needed. True to the directions they'd gotten from Mera, the ruins would be found within a few more minutes of their accelerated pace, having been pushing themselves harder forwards than they had since escaping their father the first time all those years ago. They found the dilapidated stone buildings with vines growing miles high on the walls and moss covering most of the ground, but the shelves were still full of their now rotting books. But those books were only half of the reasons they were there. The older siblings took their places on either end of the long room as Mary sat down in the middle.
None of them had the ability to decipher those books the way they needed to be to find the answers for getting rid of the demons. But Nero would find it within a matter of minutes after deducting which book would have his answers. Mary hoped in a place like this, where there ancestral roots would be strong and their ancestors spirits would be there to aid them, that she'd be able to find him and bring them to them through her to get the answers. She closed her eyes, sitting cross legged in the floors and she began to search.
