Caleb didn’t know what to say. He thought Ambrose hated him but here he was admitting that he couldn’t do it without him that for lack of confirmation he needed him and that made Caleb’s eyes widen in surprise but he didn’t say anything else he kept running feeling Ambrose grip tighten. The sound of bone crunching and stomping became defeating and he looked back to see the creature snapping its jaws as if hungry for them. It was catching up and he had to do something or else they’d both be dead. 

Without thinking of the consequences he quickly scooped Ambrose up in mid sprint and his eyes flashed with power as they vanished and reappeared shortly after just on the outside of the temple though the creature was still coming. Caleb placed Ambrose safely on the ledge. There was nowhere for them to go now. If they wanted they could jump but the outcome was certain. Caleb turned to face the oncoming threat.

“Fine,” Caleb said out loud as the surge happened once more and his appearance grew dark and sinister. “GOUL MAH BAHL!”

His voice had changed. It sounded like two different people talking at once. Caleb had moved his hand in a circle and a pentagram appeared.  He thrust his hand forward piercing the pentagram in several places before the pentagram shot forth smashing into the exit creating a seal that began to envelop the temple. The creature slammed into the barrier but received a nasty shock causing it to roar for its meal had been taken. 

Caleb turned to Ambrose and collapsed against this time on both knees as he spit up blood. He was exhausting his mana and it was killing him. He looked up at Ambrose. “You.... you got it?” He asked trying to regain himself.
