The damage had been done however, the manticore having gotten a spike off. Demi heard a loud thud behind him as the projectile embedded itself into a nearby tree. He took one step, having not felt the graze on his arm yet as he snapped his finger with his free hand causing his dagger to spring to life and fly into his hand. [Color=6666FF]"You asked for it."[/color] he said, his voice shaky and gravely with a roil of emotions. Demetri flung his dagger towards the manticore's tail, focusing on trying to separate it from the beast so that it couldn't attack with it anymore. His dagger flew past, grazing the creature slightly but doing no more than that. As it went past the tail the dagger curved around and flew back into Demis hand. He silently cursed to himself at his attempted and went in for another large arcing throw. This time it hit square in the center of the tail, catching it ablaze with blue flames to burn away at it. However as his arm released the dagger, Demetri felt a sharp pain in his arm. Suddenly he was aware of the blood dripping down his arm. He took one step forward, the world suddenly pulsing. No. His vision seemed to be playing tricks on him as his eyes went in and out of focus from the immense pain now riddling his body. Demetri glanced around, seeing the tree he'd originally been by, slowly walking towards it as blood dripped down his arm and pooled at his sweater's sleeve, dagger in hand. Once he reached the trunk he pressed his back against the tree, placing it between himself and the manticore for a bit of safety hopefully. A hot tear streamed down his cheek as he whimpered to himself. [Color=6666FF]"Zeke…please…help."[/color] [hr][h1][b][i][color=CC00CC][center]Cassian Rudenko[/center][/color][/i][/b][/h1][center][img]https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/392257844256440322/844140037963644949/855e9aabdb4e547cabf9f9441afd50a4.jpg[/img][/center][hr][center][color=CC00CC][b]Location[/b][/color]: Arena [color=CC00CC][b]Skills[/b][/color]: [/center][hr][hr] Cassian kicked at the ground beneath him. Trying to think of what to do next. He walked over towards one of the archery displays, lifting his retainer bow and feeling its weight. It wasn't the kind he was used to using, but he'd left his personal one back at Dionysus Cabin so it would have to do. He notched and arrow, pulling it back to his cheek as he took aim for the center of the target. Cassin took a deep breath, held it, and released it along with the arrow. The shot flew wide, hitting above the target into the hay placed behind them to catch the arrows. He sighed to himself, grabbing another arrow as he readjusted his stance. Another breath, another shot followed by a second rapid fire shot directly behind it. Both arrows whizzed through the air, hitting the target dead center and clustering the pair. He was about to go for another shot when Dean appeared behind him. The arrow fell out of his hand as the string panged with the empty shot. [Color=CC00CC]"Don't you know not to sneak up on people in the range? Well, not like these arrows do any real damage anyways."[/color] Cassian slung the quiver off his back, placing it and the bow against a nearby post. He cocked an eyebrow at what Dean was saying. Chiron wanted to see him? (And others). [Color=CC00CC]"What's it all about? Oh, and how'd the meeting go? Pick a liason already?"[/color] Cassian asked as he began heading back towards The Big House, gesturing for Dean to walk and talk with him.
