Snippet #2485147

The front window to The EU smashed open, a goblin landing on the outside of the establishment. It quickly recovered, but a noticeable fear was in its eyes. Roth stepped out of the bar, hopping across the window threshold. He had an annoyed expression on his face. It wasn't a surprise someone would try to find the root of the Zero and eliminate it, but it was still something he would of preferred to not have to deal with. The Goblin ran at Roth, throwing its fist as hard as it could at the blonde man. Roth stopped the punch with his right index finger. He pushed back with the same finger, forcing the monster back into a street light. "Look, I get a kid here, so I will let you slide. Leave." The goblin slowly stood up, backing away and eventually running as fast as it could. Roth turned back around to the bar, looking at Lilith through the hole where the window use to be. "At least no damage done here has an effect on the real world. But still, I feel as though I will here from Daisy about this." He sighed as he walked back into the bar, hoping the others would return soon.


The enemies surrounded Rae and Juniper, appearing from all sides. They scattered the rooftops and streets, numbering at least a dozen. They were nothing an Exorcist couldn't handle four or five at a time, but dam near twenty-four were not odds one should ever take alone. Most were trolls and goblins, the lowest echelon of what the Boundary had to offer. However, at the end of the alley stood something far more imposing. It was a Kelpie, a being that rarely crossed the Boundary into this world. They were popular in Celtic Folklore, and prior to the Exorcists taking notice of them had been responsible for many deaths in Northern Europe centuries ago. Their true form was that of a horse-like creature, but this one chose instead to appear before Juniper and Rae in a relatively human-looking form. Her hair was black and very long, almost reaching the ground behind her. It was incredibly fine, like the mane of a horse. Her eyes were absent of pupils, being completely black. She began walking toward Juniper, laughing at the situation her adversary had found herself in. "Well, what do we have here? A lost sheep. I'll make it short. Fellas! Kill the girl, bring the boy to me." The weaker monsters responded loudly, cheering the notion and preparing to attack Juniper. The Kelpie raised her hand and pointed at Juniper, then pointed her thumb down, mocking the girl for she believed the advantage was hers.

A troll on the right side rooftop looked down, trying to find the opportunity to strike without falling pray to the razors Juniper had armed herself with. Finding his spot, he prepared to leap, only to be cut directly in half midair. Lucas landed on the grounded between Juniper and the Kelpie. He pointed his sword directly at Kelpie, the blade turning blade and its signature smoke emitting heavily from it. He was panting heavily, having run as fast as he could on top of cutting down numerous individuals on the way. He slowly backed up to Juniper, standing beside her without taking his eyes off Kelpie. "Quite the situation you have gotten yourself into. I can't explain everything just yet. But the gist of it is we need to get this kid back to The EU." Lucas looked back to Rae, but his sword was still pointed down the alley to Kelpie. "Lot of questions, I'm sure. Give us a minute and we'll take you someplace safe. Juniper, I'll take the ones on the right. Why don't we make a game of it? Whoever kills the most gets the other to pay their bar tab for a week. Deal?" Without waiting for a response, Lucas ran directly at the closest enemy, cutting straight threw them. The other five were caught off guard, but quickly surrounded the man. Lucas grinned maniacally, jumping high into the air. "King of The Mountain." A blue outline surrounded Lucas. He came crashing down onto the monsters, the light splitting in all directions, stabbing straight through the beings in an instant. As he touched ground, the light faded. He sheathed his sword and turned to Juniper. "I got six, how did you do?" The Kelpie stood at the end of the alley, unable to come to terms with what she was seeing.
