Book-worm had just barely noticed something as Maragaret had focused on the children. It was some manner of beast stalking about in the shadows as well. They did not want to really take the chances and sent a ball of pale light in its general direction, across from them striking the thing with radiant light and revealing it. 

The beast took the appearance similar to that of a man barely covered in scraps of clothing that appeared to be gathered in patches of various victims. Yet it was somewhat taller and its skin was the hue of stone. Their long slender fingers were claws drenched in dry blood. This particular monster was hit by the ball of light but still leapt toward Maragaret to sink its claws into her. Its abdomen having a large scorch mark as it leapt toward her. 

One of these creatures had leapt out of the shadows heading straight for the dragon knight with a flaming sword. Its teeth were incredible sharp an accurate as aimed to bite down into the knight's shoulder, able to pierce metals but much greater at the painful wrenching flesh from the body as if the combination of their teeth was like two swords being driven down into were it hit or would hit.

There were multiple other beasts like the one before were hidden in the darkness, and carefully clinging to the walls of the remaining city as they crept closer toward the group. Their carefulness and stealth of keeping close to the walls and behind objects would likely obscure them from being seen at all, there was six of the beasts. The sixth was beyond hidden, it seemed as if the entirety of their presence was erased as they got closer.

Arieus might be able to notice that something else unholy approaching way from a small distance was approaching as well. It was not quite invisible, though it seemed the very fabric of this darkness wrapped around it like a cloak making it hard to see or discern as anything sort of invisibility during the night to regular eyes, and those who could see through supernatural means would likely only notice the surface resembling a large dark orb rapidly heading their way. There was no way of telling what was in this moving orb of darkness.

A platoon of dozens of undead was headed straight toward the destroyed town. A loud battle cry could be heard from the other side of its  city limits, as a two headed giant as big as Vagmir was approaching in the night. All of which disappear into nothingness a moment later, entirely into the shadows. The orb darkness disappearing as well, along with the manner of beasts that had attacked. One of them dragged Book-worm into the darkness, never to be seen again.
