In his pain and anger he had wanted to see Zeke hurt, to see all of them hurt. But when he saw the look on Zeke's face, it broke him. It was no surprise to Demi that Nancy had attacked him, that was just the type of person he'd grown to expect her to be. If her words couldn't touch him, then her fists would. It wasn't too dissimilar to the bullies back at school, even going as far as to use the same words that they would. Zeke was new to all this, to the base calling and having someone use a part of you you can't help against you like it's meant to hurt. For a moment, Demi hardly fought back, not even going as far to protect himself as he was lost in his own thoughts of familiarity, of a pattern. He'd run his mouth at a bully, and they'd beat him up. He felt the weight of Nancy being lifted off of him, turning to see Alexios was kneeling beside him with some Nectar, nectar that Demi declined to drink. Much like when Arthur had given him a cube of Ambrosia to heal himself and he simply pocketed it instead. He deserved these wounds he thought, more so as he watched the pain tear inside of Zeke. Demi was going to let it go, to simply walk away. But then Nancy hurt Zeke. Everything went out the window there, all he could see was red as he reached for those darker emotions inside of him trying to get a grip on them. Shadows rippled around his feet but bade no commands from him. He glared at Nancy, then saw Zeke once more on the ground and something broke. Shadows swirled around Nancy, entangling her as they began to slam her back and forth like a rag doll before lifting her up off the ground. [Color=6666FF]”Beat on me all you want! But don't you dare harm a single hair on Zeke's head or it'll be THE LAST THING YOU DO!”[/color]
