It didn't take long for the situation to quickly escalate into a frenzy between two.  As Irvine readied himself for engagement, he froze on the spot as the person he was standing beside was knocked away like a bug from ones shoulder.  Though he had aimed to try and prevent such events Sekhemi showed little difficulty of evading Irvine's attempts to keep him away from the creature that had attacked first.  It would seem that it wouldn't end in Sekhemi's favour as he too was incapacitated by the larger creature.  Irvine turned toward the creature not volunteering to approach himself but not looking to retreat either.  Then another new face, though they displayed immense power in their first few moments of arrival dispersing the magic affects that most had lamented in an attempt to stop the infighting.

He watched carefully as the creature was slowly subdued, mindful to keep his distance from its powerful tail.  As he was addressed by this new man he was both somewhat confused and by the mans knowledge of his name, and then loosely ashamed though not enough to be remorseful, of his actions.  [color=39b54a]"Demon?  Interesting.."[/color] Irvine had mumbled to himself, yet another creature he had assumed to be noting more than myth.  He swiftly swung the Shadow Hilt down at its side and the weapon had returned to the form of the metal trinket it really was, strapping the hilt back into place.  He observed as this man addressed people one at a time, following his line of sight to put names to people.  As the stairs materialised Irvine began to make his way over, a small glance of confusion towards the lad that had been knocked afar by a tail and now looking no worse for wear.  He somewhat rudely prodded at Keith's back somewhat unconvinced by what he was seeing.[color=39b54a]"That's quite the trick."[/color]  Irvine did not stick around for a response as he moved his right hand to his rucksack strap to hold it together for the journey ahead, staircase to the sky... this could take a while.
