Well his little ruse seemed to fool the demon at least but did the angel hear him? That was the only question that came to his mind, he did not even care if his own life was in danger.

Lucius relaxed a little bit before jumping back in surprise at the sight of the person who walked in front of him, he had not even heard her approach. It was definitely the angel, those wings were a dead give away and as she pulled back her hood, he walked to her side to get a better look and oh boy was she a looker. What was even more surprising was when she raised her arms and wings out in a gesture of protection, so Lucius fell back behind her but was tall enough to see what was going on. This act did not go unnoticed to Lucius, he was deeply touched at the generosity the angel showed.

As she spoke Lucius simply watched, scanning the area for any other creatures that could disrupt the meeting but none came, at least not yet. He had raised his weapon ever so slightly when the demon had done the same, but quickly let it drop as the General did the same. So Octavia was her name, it was a nice name but Lucius had his thoughts on something else. There had to be another reason why she came here, there was more to this story and he would find out.

Next thing to happen was the elf, that had previously followed Octavia in the forest, finally appeared. Good, now if they could overpower the demon if need be. Something told him that would not be necessary, for as the demon spoke he felt that the creature was being very much sincere, a trait lost among most other demonic entities. 

To answer the demons question Lucius simply said, [color=gold]"Don't know how that happened but water... it frightens me. I can't do it."[/color]

The fairy that arrived next was another good omen to Lucius, now they had more then enough to escort the princess back to the border. Though he held no animosity towards the fairy-kind, he did find them annoying at times but that was besides the point. There was safety in numbers, especially in this dark land and for that Lucius was grateful.
