Faye’s eyes narrowed dangerously at the remaining demons. She wasn’t sure how long they have been fighting for, but the faint streams of light they had were starting to dwindle and a flickering shadow was starting to curtain the rest of the fight. Faye placed one foot back and brought her hands up in a fighting stance. This time, instead of coming at her one at a time, they were attacking her together. Their pointy ears darting up and down in a meticulous analysis of how they should fight this earthling. Within the span of a second, decidedly, they were leaping towards the taller puppeteer.
Cold, unfeeling, pitiless; the young mage's eyes, at this movement, shifted to the color of a raging ocean reflecting light off a blue magic circle illuminating her steady profile. Not less than half a second later, a lucid stream of shimmering blue blanketed the two demons, pushing them violently away from Faye who, at once, was on the attack. As they got knocked back, Faye jetted forward to grab the both of them over their necks, savagely gripping it tighter and tighter as she brought them violently down upon the cold floor of the wrecked train. They groaned, cried, screeched, and waved their claws haphazardly at Faye.
Her force over their neck only increased when warm blood started trickling down her arm from the claw wounds. Faye quickly bit her bottom lip in a rush to stop a loud hiss from escaping her cherry lips. There was just enough to deal with with all the lesser demons; she didn’t want to attract the attention of one of those huge monsters Snowflake was dealing with. She had already thrown them one inquisitive glance before the fight and had to try so very hard to stop herself from shuddering at their strength and demonic presence.
When the pain proved too difficult to ignore, Faye let go of the half whimpering, half growling demons and thought no further on letting a foot come strongly down on one of their head, hoping to crush it to its last breath. The other one, on noticing her movement, was starting to bring down its teeth over her ankle when she kicked her heel sharply to his side, hitting its chin and throwing it off a few feet away.
From there, it took not so much time for Faye to go after the other alive ones. They were half beaten up but still had enough fight in them to drive Faye into a corner of the large train. She had to battle vigorously without rest for a long time, a long time where Faye kept thanking herself for not being a big enough bum to not train her physical specs up. It had helped her more than her half forgotten magic.
The fight went on for another hour until she was finally facing the very last one of them. There was a rancid smell from all the blood -her own mixed with the disgusting black of the demons’- pooling under the lifeless, monstrous bodies. It ghosted over the entire area, weighing over the sound of panting breath and creaking metal floor. Faye took steps towards the small demon on its last fight, swaying slightly from the sorely aching muscles all over her body. After spending such long hours fighting, the belligerent spirit in her was starting to wane and exhaustion was slowly dawning on her.
A last swing of her arm collecting all her remaining strength connected with the bony nose of the demon and that drew the curtain over her struggle. At the end of it, Faye was sitting in the middle of all the bloody mess looking over to Snowflake as she fought. One of the passengers they hurried out the door had mentioned something about a large special rift somewhere ahead of them. Faye guessed it was where the monsters streamed in from and wanted to take a look at it to see if they can close it. However, observing Snowflake, she couldn’t help but feel ashamed of her own powerlessness. She had rejected training her magic believing she would never get into fights –she loathed them, after all- yet, when a situation asked for her life and many others’, Faye was powerless to help.
