Kyoto paid no attention to the little conversation between the witch and the paladin. It was unimportant at the moment. All he did was keep as attentive as he could preparing himself for anything that could happen. They were safe for the time being and he did not know how long that would last. All it would take is for the demons from above to find their way down here. Hopefully that globe of darkness the young woman dropped would help some. He did pick on the little name trading though. Ishmael was the paladin and Hotaru was the young woman. Ishmael sounded familiar too him but he couldn't place it at all. Perhaps he heard people speak of him from other cities or something.

 Alduin the soul eater landed upon the ceiling of one of the houses and breathed his fire upon the ground burning soldiers who were retreating or just simply falling back. Suddenly a arrow shot at him and bounced off one of the thousand spikes that made up the scales on his body. He looked to the owner of that arrow and found him upon the wall with the twisty turny things. Gears he thought they were called. Him and five other knights had trained their bows on him. He had to smirk and laugh." You pathetic fools are better off fighting the demons not me..." He said mockingly. He then shouted tearing the soul from one of them. The body fell to the ground and the other knights looked to their comrad. [i] "You alright?"[/i] One asked. Suddenly their friend rose back up from the stone floor like a lifeless corpse. The once be knight looked to the people he once called friends and drew his sword. His eyes gone, replaced by purple orbs. Alduin enjoyed watching them fight among themselves. Friends fighting friends,... the helpless fools.
