[@The One] [@Ojo chan 42] 

The angelic illusion only distracted the bone covered demon for a few moments before the demon turned away entirely, lashing out with his tail and slamming into Keith. [color=aba000]"No!"[/color] He attempted to shout, but found his voice too weak for words. His grand illusion had failed to stop the creature from resuming its rampage, and Leval had no further energy left to cast even the smallest of spells to help. [color=aba000][i]'I am useless here, so damnably weak.'[/i][/color] Leval grit his teeth and bore it looking up towards the sky. His only hope now was that his first casting, his true plan to stop rampage, would work. He heard the thud of body land next to him and turned. The royal prince lay lifeless next to him, a bone shard blasted straight through his chest. Leval looked horrified for a moment before the wound on the prince's body suddenly closed and healed as though it had never been there in the first place. As he watched, fascinated, he felt a wild surge of energy shoot through his own body. He looked down at himself, still on the ground, in awe before realizing, with a flash of insight, what had occurred. He looked back up at the sky a grin on his face. There in the sky's above was a man zooming down towards the demon, working to suppress it with his own power. [color=aba000][i]'It worked! He saw my message! We are safe.'[/i][/color]

Leval watched, still in fascination, as the figure reduced what had once been a towering demonic creature back down to the size of the boy, apparently named Rika, before bandaging the child's glowing red eye. Then the headmaster began to speak to every single participant of the event before coming to Leval. He payed special attention to the lecture give to the prince, Sekhemi, eyeing him warily. [b]"Leval, don't over exhaust yourself. Know your limits, it could be very dangerous leaving yourself defenseless like that. Although I am glad you helped Shela, and I am also glad you stepped in to stop Sekhemi. That is a brave thing you did there. Leval, can you be so kind and look after Shela for me please."[/b] Leval felt somewhat mixed at the comment, proud to have been called brave but stung somewhat by the mild admonishment. Still, the headmaster had a point and he had to respect that.

[color=aba000][i]'But if I don't push myself to my limits, how am I ever supposed to get stronger?'[/i][/color] He rose up to his feet, no longer needing to lean upon his staff in order to stand. Ash and Cinder, his two butterfly companions, fluttered out from underneath his cloak where they had apparently hiding. Ash fluttered around the top of his head, while Cinder landed atop the gash he had sustained during the his rescue of Shela. Slowly, the would began to close upon his face, his skin knitting itself back together. [color=aba000]"Thanks guys."[/color] He reached up with his hand and ran a light finger over Cinder's wings just the way he liked.

[color=f7976a]"How are you feeling Leval?"[/color] Ceres had approached him casting an angry glance back at Sekhemi.

[color=aba000]"Pretty great actually, I feel as though I slept for a straight 10 hours. That was some damn impressive magic the headmaster used."[/color] He smiled at her, ignoring the Prince staring daggers at them.

[color=f7976a]"Maybe we should stick together, fabulous he is probably going to target you."[/color]

[color=aba000][i]'Was she implying that he needed her protection?"[/i][/color] He looked over at the still, obviously enraged Sekhemi. [color=aba000][i]'She is probably absolutely correct.'[/i][/color] He smiled at her and nodded. [color=aba000]"I'd be glad of the company."[/color] He looked over to Shela. [color=aba000]One moment, if you would."[/color]

He walked over to the small girl, briefly wondering what she could do. His wound now healed, both his butterflies were fluttering around his head. He crouched down to meet her at eye level. [color=aba000]"Hi there, in all the excitement I didn't get a chance to introduce myself. My name is Leval. And you must be Shela..."[/color] He looked down at the stuffed beaver she held in her arms. [color=aba000]"And what is your friend's name there?"[/color] He waited for her answer before getting to the point. [color=aba000]"The Headmaster has asked me to accompany you up the stairs- is that alright with you?"[/color] He raised an open palm to her invitingly, careful to move slowly, it was possible she was suffering some sort of shock from the events.
