Those who were unfortunate or simply too slow to avoid Adrian’s flames were soon consumed into a sea of fire. Throughout it all, Marianne continued dancing to the sounds of battle and conflict, the fire itself seeming to have avoided the black dressed girl. And when the waves did almost reach her, they recoiled at the last moment, as if being repelled by some unseen force.

Noticing the robot and the demon now fighting now fighting amongst themselves, the Fauns soon turned their sights onto them now. The biggest threat right now seemed to be the demonic creature, and so that was their intended target. Taking the madman’s glee of destruction as his sign of distraction, two fired off arrows in rapid succession. Both wooden projectiles landed in the demon’s arm. It was not enough to actually break the flesh, but the poison that coated each tip had now been transferred into Adrian’s body.

Their mission done, they soon backed off. Meanwhile, Faira was doing quite well for someone who was overly concerned about their fates. As she went about actually repelling the Faun threat, the masked menaces soon backed away from the battle scene, melting back into the walls of which they came. 

Soon, all of them had fled and retreated. Apparently they were not out for blood, merely to startle and stun their prey. As they did so, one Faun was carrying with it the unconscious form of Dactrin, as several arrows now stuck out of him much like a pin-cushion. They dragged him away to some unknown fate.

As the battle soon came to a close, Marianne giggled as she looked around at the captured group’s expressions.

“Well? Wasn’t that fun? At least its all over, right?”

A sudden roar soon shook the ballroom, as the sound of thunderous footsteps suddenly became much closer than they all realized.

“Opps! Never mind. Guess this is where you start running. Or fighting. Poor Dactrin though. I suppose he’ll never find what he was looking for after all,” Marianne said ominously”
