[Him]

“Whine, whine, whine, is that all you buggers ever do?”

The Demon chuckled hearing them argue amongst one another. He watched as they all took form. Oh yes he remembered them. Wow they looked pretty ugly with the plague covering their bodies. He yawned, unamused as eight of them charged him. He looked over at the one creating the giant familiar. He rolled his eyes dramatically.

“If you think that hunk of dirt and vine is supposed to scare me then you haven’t learned anything from your deaths. I’ve seen worse in the underworld, the heat itself there is monstrous, how about I show you?”

As quickly as he said that he busted into flames. The flames grew larger and larger; the flames were a bright blue. The flames began to consume the entire temple. Sid would be quite safe in the shield the Demon made for him. He saw to it that it could withstand his flames.

“The flames of the underworld as said to be so hot that they burn the souls that are sent there.”

The demon said in a creepy monster like voice, it seems to reverberate through out the now burning halls. The heat was quite intense you could see it melt the very walls. The Tree combusted instantaneously, falling apart at the seams. The souls who were close to the Demon were totally engulfed by the flames. Soon the whole temple was one fire.

It was here the demon had to think quickly. He knew the mages would be able to sense his magic from afar. Not only that they will see the flames rising from the swamp. Once he knew that the spirits were destroyed he would quickly morph into a griffin and fly the elf out safely.

“Master! Quickly as soon as these spirits are destroyed I need you to guide me to another place. These flames will destroy this swamp. And the Mages are probably alerted. I hope they will believe that we’ve perished in the fire. You better think quickly, because this is all happening in a matter of seconds.”

The Demon shouted in the elf’s mind. This was serious matter and if they were to survive this needed to be done now.
