As the sirens went off, Kludd instinctively tensed up, scanning the room and trying to find the source of the sudden danger. He was glad his arm was already around Fillan, it was reassuring to him. [i]Some test this is.. making us fight day one. Couldn't we die?[/i] He thought bitterly as the light dimmed. His heart started to pound in his chest, the dark had always scared him. His magical energy flickered to life after that, his eyes starting to glow red, symbolizing his magic power was in use. First things first, night vision. A simple spell, which he'd studied so hard it didn't take really any effort to cast. The room lit up again, at least in his eyes, just as a roar ripped through the area and some odd slimy substance starts creeping its way into the room. Not wasting any time pondering what it was, he cast a shielding spell around himself and Fillan, creating sort of a bubble of red energy around the two, protecting them from the creatures which were now taking shape. They looked like animals or humans, but oddly twisted and dark. He wished he had a weapon, or had studied attack spells more thoroughly. As the creatures closed in, it seemed like just fighting with his fists may not be an option.
