Leval Lamrue
@The One@PharaohAtemThe large, ape humanoid walked over to him and delivered a hard slap against his back. In retrospect, Leval was sure the slap was nothing impressive for the creature almost like a pat on the head. But given Leval's far weaker human body and already exhausted state from his running, the blow sent him sprawling towards the floor, wind entirely knocked out of him. As he fell, he began to see the world in slowed down state, the volume of the area dwindling to nothing as he heard a song playing in his mind. (

He watched a shadow creature begin to envelop the surrounding area with darkness and as a younger boy wearing bandages had his form twisted into that of a demonic being.
'I wonder did I suffer some sort of brain dam-' The thought stopped abruptly as his body finally hit the floor.
His disoriented body gasped trying desperately to refill its lungs with precious oxygen as darkness spread over the field. He looked up and saw that Shela too had fallen over somehow and was looking at him, fear and frustration plain to see in her gaze.
"Things are really bad."
Leval looked around, but the gash on his forehead had started to bleed over eye obscuring his vision somewhat. Even with that impediment it was clear to see that staying here was dangerous as hell.
'She is just a child, I have to get her out of here. But I am almost out of magic myself and she doesn't seem to be walking. This invitation was some kind of trap to get us all to kill each other.' Leval's heart beat fiercely in his chest telling him to run away and preserve his life, but he had no choice. He had to keep the child safe.
"My name is Leval, I'm going to help you. It's going to be okay."As he reached out towards the girl, however as he reached out towards her a boy with green skin grabbed the girl. As he did, trees burst from the ground, weaving together and encircling the pair in a thick sphere of wood. Leval rose and limped towards it feeling the orb.
'Solid. Not an illusion. Someone in their is whimpering.' Leval glanced at the sphere then at the field.
'Can this withstand an assault though?'He moved his mouth close against the tree sphere.
" I am going to hide you both and do everything I can to keep you safe." Leval felt the last of magical reserves leave him as he gave a the sphere a coating of camoflauge, he didn't have enough energy to completely hide the sphere. He then moved away, close enough that he could defend the stationary orb, but far enough that he wouldn't draw fire to its location.
One of his butterflies rested against his back and another by the gash on his forehead. He could feel the low thrum of their magic slowly restoring his wound. A song the sounded across the field helped to alleviate some of his pains as well, combating the dark emotions the dark creatures had caused. He adjusted his grip on his staff, ready in case of attackers.
