Leith was running out of breath. He chanced a look behind him and saw that the demon was closing the gap and it was nearly upon him. As his attention was on the demon, he tripped over the body of a fallen Djarkel soldier. After he hit the ground, he resigned himself to his fate and braced himself for the demon's attack, but nothing happened. Curious, Leith turned to see what had happened the demon that was chasing him. It had stopped directly in from of him. A voice rang out not that far from where he was, commanding the demons to die. The demon in front of Leith followed the order and started smashing its head on the ground. Leith raised a hand to shield bits of flesh and blood flying from the demon. With a sigh of relief, Leith sat up. The relief was short-lived because as he sat up, his vision started to swim and he got dizzy. For a second, he was confused as to why he was dizzy. Then it hit him. He had been clawed at by two demons. He was amazed that he was lucky enough to get them off of him let alone be able run away. When his vision cleared, Leith looked down at his body. There were several deep gashes on his torso, and from how it felt, several on his face. As he wiped the blood from his eyes, he felt a hand on his shoulder. Leith tried to fight whoever was attached to the hand, but he couldn't move. The owner of the hand kneeled into sight. An Eanian soldier with a concerned look on his face. As soon as Leith stopped trying to fight, he could move. The soldier gave a small smile and spoke. "Now that you're done fighting, can you hold still while I patch you up." Leith managed a nod and the solider started working. Leith felt pain as the wounds started knitting themselves back together. The soldier stopped long before the wounds closed, but he healed enough that Leith wouldn't bleed out. The man then pulled a small vial from a pouch at his side. "This will speed up your body's ability to replenish blood and lessen the effects of blood loss. But be careful. It will take a while before your blood is at a hundred percent." With that, the soldier left to go help another wounded student nearby. Leith drank the contents of the vial. He grimaced at the bitter taste, but the effects were almost immediate. The dizziness had disappeared, but it left a feeling of weakness behind.. Leith stood up and got his bearings. He felt so out of place. It was almost like he wasn't actually in the dining hall where demons were attacking everybody. Like he was dreaming all of this. He shook his head to clear it. It wasn't the time for him to be unfocused. With that in mind, he looked for someone that he could possibly help. He noticed Satori sitting in a chair alone by a pillar of flame. While Leith knew that the Psychomancy teacher could probably handle herself, he couldn't help but think that an extra pair of hands would be useful. Looking around, Leith found a rather [url=http://www.eligame.net/uploads/img/folio/sword_color_02.jpg]vicious looking sword[/url] clutched in a downed demon's hand. Leith picked it up with his right hand, after making sure the demon was dead, and gave it a few small swings. He was liking the fact that the gauntlet negated any of the sword's weight. With a small nod to himself, he made his way towards the pink-haired woman. A few minor demons got in Leith's way, but he easily cut them down with the sword aided by the gauntlet. When he got there, he unsheathed his dagger with his left hand and got into a defensive stance as the demons kept pouring in from the doors and the hole in the wall. The dagger was about 12" long and had a cross guard that went out and slightly up. It was a simple dagger, and he had bought it shortly after he started training with Deven. He looked at Satori over his shoulder. "So what's happening here?" If anyone should should know why the demons were attacking, it would be Satori.
