Her words rang even more dark in the ears of the knight. It was a deafening sound of horror she thought to bring onto the world. One that he could not stand idly by as it happened.

There chat brought to a stand still from the intruder. Yumi erupted with lightning and flung her axe to swat away the meager magical attack from their enemy. He could see what the power was she could wield now. A truly fearsome woman.

With another burst of lightning she shot forward to intercept the man as he evaded the burst of wind. Her true form was shown to him now, with wings, horns and tail springing to life. Living up to the name of carnage that she brought.

Kaz stood calmly and in the same spot. Seeing her ferocious attack he knew there was no need for him to bring anymore pain upon the man. he was sent flying into the wall behind with not even enough energy to scream in pain. The crossbows still clutched in his hands as blood pulled in his mouth and overtook his tongue.

She jeered the man and with his one remaining arm he rose the crossbow only an inch off the ground as his hand feel limp. His eyes shot, knowing what fate awaited him. He gurgled out , words without discernment. Most likely cursing the witch woman.

Kaz stood by with his hands folded in front of him and held by his waist. The lightning reflected in his eyes. He had no sympathy for the man nor would he attempt to save his life. In fact the mage would have killed him too if it came to it, but Yumi saw fit to indulge in her blood lust.

The bullet shot straight through the man's skull. It left behind a burned and charred hole where his face once was.

"Well, I take it you have satisfied your desire for blood," he looked around the shop and their was surprisingly few things destroyed aside from the long row of chairs and tables.

"There could be more of them around. There are those that would see Nephilim severed from the world too," he handed her the saved piece of cake. "An impressive show. I can see that you live up to all the stories."

"We can stay here and take our chances on others arriving or move somewhere...less conspicuous?" He asked as he suppressed the wind around him and his holy aura.

Kazimir stood back with his arms crossed as the witch marked the walls with the dead man's blood. "Don't like a very subtle approach do you?" He remarked in a calm tone. "Its always blood...always."

She spoke like a woman ready and yearning for a fight. Seeing the blood drip from her hands ti sent his mind back to the blood of his clansman that dripped from his own. It sparked the spirit within him, and roused a desire for combat. He blinked and stilled his soul, as he looked out the window. It was clear to see a flicker of fight in his eyes.

"I suppose if they are here to take the life of a deamon and a nephilim then they are just as much my problem. One better to deal with now than later," a more serious ring in his voice now as he peered at the deadman. He turned away and lifted one of the fallen chairs and then sat in it.

"I have never been one for subtlety. My magic doesn't call for it," and it was true. His magic was almost entirely destructive force and he had finally come to accept that.

Yumi summoned the contract to her and amended it. Only asking for one hour now. She was still not content with just the offering of the land and the souls of his clansman.

"A generous offer," he stood and crossed over to her. "But I can't accept standing aside while that happens...however," he nodded toward the man laying dead on the wall. "They will keep coming. Men to kill other wordly beings. You're strong, no doubt. But I've seen the immense power of Nerva and there may be more like him. I don't doubt your strength or that you are more than capable of surviving but no need to make life harder than it needs to be."

He looked at the contract and then back to Yumi, "Our paths are opposed and let them stay that way if they must. New offer. We agree not to try to kill each other. Regardless of how things go and turn out. Nephilim and Deamon. And make sure these hunters don't end our kind," with everything that was happening recently it was clear that whatever was in the future, meant something big for Earthland and both of their kind.

He stood with his hand outstretched, curious as to what she would think, or if she would just find it amusing. The steps grew louder outside, but what was coming didn't sound like the marching formations of the knights.

He didn't want her hands getting to itchy to bring death but then again that may be just what they needed. "I'd prefer  for us to just sneak away. But the people that are coming don't sound like the usual formation the knights would use," his implication was clear. It was someone worse than some haphazard mages.

Kaz caught the contract as she tossed it to him. She agreed to the terms, albeit probably begrudgingly. She was shorter than him but her strength and domineering presence made it seem like she was taller.

"Likewise. if we stand in each other's way, I won't hold back either," he let his gaze pierce into her own. But he was pleased to know that even though she sought to spread carnage she could appreciate the idea of not completely eradicating each other. At least for the moment. Kaz shook her hand and then wiped the blood on a cloth that was nearby.

The demoness walked towards the doorway without fear. "You know I can't just let you tear through the town," it was said more like an annoyance than a threat. He tucked the contract into his jacket, still waiting to sign it until after this madness had all ended.

Kaz sighed as he heard the Holy Knight's decree from outside. He knew what this meant. Their mere presence would unleash the...before his thought finished, Yumi turned into a full demon, "Wait,"he called out as he reached for her but she was already gone. Throwing herself headfirst into the field of battle.

Kaz stepped towards the door and shielded his eyes from the bright flash of light from the eruption of lightning that filled the area. He only heard her laughter through a field of charred bodies. He opened the door and walked out, not caring about the deaths of the holy knights but worried that this would spill out of control.

it was a horrific sight. More Knights rode in for a second wave. Kaz heard the screams from civilians in their homes and hiding in their places of work. So this is what she was. A deamon he had considered making a deal with.

His eyes flashed white as wrath and anger swelled within him. He walked out onto the battlefield as Yumi no doubt heard the hooves of more riders coming in.

Kaz stepped in the newly arriving holy knights path. "I'll take care of this. You'll only die and make things worse," his voice was cold as wind trailed at his feet.

"We know that Indigo hair and magic. You too are wanted for desecration of a holy site, freeing a prisoner, and assaulting knights," The holy knight announced.  Kaz hoped that Yumi was to caught up to hear that he had freed prisoners in the past. But the knights now stood ready to take him in.

Kaz made a quick circle with his arms and an 8-meter diameter storm of wind engulfed the holy knights and sent then unconscious and crashing to the ground.

The new group had been dispatched of and kaz looked over just as Yumi was about to strike down another knight. In the distance terrified civilians watched the massacre. The axe came down and kaz shot up a gust of wind around them, kicking up debris and blood to obscure them from sight.

"That's enough Yumi," he said as he approached the demon woman. He walked ready for battle if it called for it, until he stood before her. The wind rustling his clothes and hair. He could almost still hear the crying and fear through the howl of the wind. It faded his thirst for battle and the demon sheathed her ax.

Through the wind he knew they were on their way now. The rune knights. If they arrived she would throw herself into battle again. Killing his comrades and terrifying the people. If they fought it would only bring havoc upon them as well. Their magic was both too untamed for a confrontation that wouldn't bring in bystanders. He had only one choice.

The white angelic presence in his eyes subsided along with his urge to fight. He stopped a few steps from her with his hands at his sides and a calm expression but one that held hesitation.

"More will come and you don't plan on stopping do you?" he paused but already felt like he knew her answer. "You came for a peaceful day here. And if I recall there was something else you wanted."

He took of the scarf that he wore and extended it to her, "Stop this. Conceal yourself so we can sneak away...and in exchange. You said it had been two longs years since you've had the company of another. Carnal flesh I believe you said. Spare this town any more bloodshed this day...and you shall have me this night, unless I can dissuade you some other way. Perhaps a find a place for you to have the peaceful day you desired? Or is battle all you seek now."

Even if he believed he could stop her in another way, the toll on the lives around was too great a risk. The scarf blew gentle in the breeze for her to take, and he waited to see if she returned to the woman or stayed the demon.
