Dante's eyebrow quirked, one eye squinting as he mentally fought off the whispers.  The air felt ominous and he was concerned about what would happen next.  When Talia went past him and closer to the light, the level of concern rose.  The whispers grew, feeling like they were all around them, so much so that Dante looked around around with suspicion.  Then Talia lifted a hand to the light.

[color=lightgreen]"Talia, wait!"[/color] he called urgently.

But she'd already done it.  The light practically exploded, prompting Dante to burst forward, diving in front of Talia and into a fighting stance.  He wasn't sure what use fists would be against this thing, but he wasn't willing to let his friend be hurt without going down testing the prospect first.  Right after Dante's rapid reactions, Gunthar jumped in front of [i]him[/i], ready to protect both of them.  The presence of the big ogre gave Dante confidence and he gritted his teeth, sidestepping to get a better view, his hands up ready to fight.

The gale of energy was intense, the whispers loud and getting louder still.  Dante didn't falter, his knuckles white on his fists.  But his eyes were almost closed from the blinding light.  His muscles were tense, coiled like springs, ready to explode him into action, the moment he saw a threat.  But what he finally saw was not a threat.  It was another demon.  A female - a satir like his friend.  He wanted to lower his guard but for the glowing weapons in the unidentified demon's hands.   Her eyes locked onto Talia behind them and the glow left her axes as she stepped forward.

[color=lightgreen]"Stay back!"[/color] Dante commanded, ready to strike her.

[color=8A2BE2]“Kali!  Good, you’re safe.  We need… to… get… …”[/color]

Dante was left as speechless as Gunthar, unable to react quick enough when the stranger lost consciousness and fell to the ground - he only managed a step.  What the hell was going on?  It seemed Talia was just as flabbergasted as him, Dante turning about to look at her shocked face when she finally spoke.  Gunthar went over and hauled the stranger into his arms and brought her over.

[color=a0410d]"Take care."[/color]

Dante suddenly burst into a chuckle.  [color=lightgreen]"Lilith, Gunther, don't you just have the most interesting job,"[/color] he joked, running a hand through his hair. [color=lightgreen]"This an everyday thing for you, big guy?[/color]  Then Dante said to Talia.  [color=lightgreen]"I think she thought she knew you.  What do you make of that?"[/color]
