The dust cleared, revealing three forms lying on the hard-packed earth, the demon had fallen just before killing Teegan and though she lay there, blood pooling around her and staining the ground, she was only unconscious, as was Taena beside her, and their enemy the demon sprawled there next to its victems.
A small cloud of shadow gathered to hover over the antagonists, and Sukrae, lifting himself up from where he had been on the floor of the tunnel; gazed down upon the scene.
"That wasn't supposed to happen," he said worriedly, his voice ringing in the newly created silence.
Silently he drew one of his pitch black swords, the strange runes glowing on the hilt, and sat down on the edge of the six foot drop from the opening where he had watched the battle (and finally taken part in, with his attempt at casting a spell left-handed.)
Sukrae slid down the drop, the same drop that the zombie had so recently jumped from, wounding him.
Landing safely on the floor, he walked over to where the demon had colasped when the spell had gone off, and shoved his sword through its eye and into its brain, killing it.
Black blood gushed from the wound, smoking on the floor. Sukrae watched it bubble and swirl, mesmerized.
Teegan moaned behind him and he turned, leaving the blood to form little streams, and finally soak into the earth.
