and the only solution was to stand and fight
The morning sun slipped behind the hollowed forest of trees, approaching the afternoon as news flickered back and forth amidst hunters and trackers. Were it any other time, Deimos might have permitted them all to take care of it on their own, but something restless bordered along the fringes of his pulse, and he was there amidst his fellow Halovians, seeking out the void luxere wreaking havoc through the latest paths and hunting grounds.
A certain apprehension centered behind his ribs at the notion – because for all the dark incantations flowing through his frame, and therefore causing general avoidance of any luxere - he still enjoyed the creatures. They’d represented life during many a LongNight, and he’d assisted in luring them to offer them respite and repose within the eternal darkness.
But these ones – with all the void and spite stored within – couldn’t remain.
A chorus of noises maneuvered through each of them, as trackers split apart amidst the folds and trunks of trees, waiting for the sound of cloven hooves moving through the snow. Deimos, for his part, remained in the line of sight of many; leaning against one gnarled piece of timber, Zuriel tucked by his side, and Belial flying overhead, keeping watch.
