She came around the corner only to have a sharp sound stop her just in time. Turning her enormous weapon, the blade covered her entire left side from shoulder to thigh. Nothing hit though as the bullet that had been fired missed it's target completely, whatever that was to begin with. Relaxing her body, she soon heard Dravon addressing the group of soldiers that they had lost moments ago. Lowering the weapon, she peered out at them from around the corner where they were huddled.
It wasn't long before the conversation was interrupted by the sounds of something large and rather dangerous slamming into a locked door just beyond the soldiers. Keyra tensed again. The Val could almost feel the darkness that was the enemy spreading from underneath the doors small crack. Her gaze flicked over to Dravon, the golden color nearly blocked out by her pupils.
Dravon called for a gun which was handed over to him by one of the soldiers. Then he turned, ordering them down the stairs again just as the bolts and handle of the metal door flew off. Keyra did shift her weapon this time, small clangs echoing off her blade as the screws and bolts hit the large weapon. The only one that didn't immediately turn to go to the stairs was the ash fiend, whom Keyra glowered at then. Did he honestly intend to stand there and take on whatever planned to come though those doors?
"Elruin, let's go," she called, hovering near the stairwell where Enuren had already gone down with Dravon. She jerked her head towards the stairwell as she beckoned for him. The door, as she already knew, did not last much longer, and soon flew apart. The same creature like monstrosities ambled forth from it's dark depths, aiming towards the remaining soldiers and her and the ash fiend. Grinding her teeth, she opened her wings to their fullest lightening her weight.
They were going to have to fight back to the stairwell, there was no helping it. Too close to be able to leave, and Elruin was too far from her to attempt waiting for. The Val pumped her wings twice, then lunged forward. Her blade came up, turned sideways so that the razor edge was facing outwards to her left. Plunging the weapon deep in the being's chest, she ripped it out via the creatures ribs. Tearing through the muscle and bone there, she cleaved it nearly in two, with the exception of not going through the other side.
Whirling around, she attempted the same feat with the next one, only to have to backpedal as the strange horror swung its irregularly large arm at her. They were sluggish and their bodies deformed in such ways as to hinder their movements, but that didn't make them any less dangerous. Quickly back stepping, Keyra slashed her weapon upwards, cutting off the deformed hand at the end of the elongated arm. The same dark liquid that had assaulted her earlier sprayed forth, but this time she was prepared for it. Using her weapon as a shield she blocked the majority of the blood.
"Head for the stairs," she urged the taller man.
