Marten swore. He recognized the spell Ju-Hades had used, and while he could break it easily enough it would take more time than he had. He weighed the options. If they were able to get past the giant and whatever that thing was, they would be able to hide with the dragons. Alternatively, if he could kill that man and Seg could hold the others off, he could break the spell and they could escape outside. He chose the former. Raising his hands, he muttered a short incantation. A bright flash of white light burst from them, leaving a shimmering barrier of his own between Ju-Hades and the group. "I would't suggest you come this way either. My spell is a bit different. It won't kill you, but it will bind you very tightly if you touch it. Enjoy your ringside view of the carnage." He turned to face the others. "As for you, I'd suggest you find a way out of here that doesn't involve heading through the caves very fast, because thats the only way you're getting out of here aside from in a shallow grave." He raised his sword, facing the man with the scythe first. "Now's your chance to prove yourself to your kin, Seg. Good luck." With a yell, he hurled himself at Kraid slashing wildly.

Sand and dust flew in all directions as a large carcass landed but a few inches from Karasu. Immediately, her eyes widened and she got to her feet, partly out of respect, but mostly out of abhorrence...
She stared at the lifeless face of her brethren, her pupils slowly retracting to mere specks encompassed by a steely hue. Slowly, her jaw fell and a number of jagged fangs were unveiled. She hissed violently, claws extending to pierce the sand as deeply as they could, before propelling Karasu forward in a wieldy surge toward the cave entrance.
Yousei watched in awe as Sagor emerged from the abyssmal tunnel. For a moment, she wondered if he was merely a daunting fabrication. An illusion brought on by dehydration. But as he heaved a carcass through the mouth of the cave, she knew that he was real... Kraid was there, as well. And someone new; he was dressed in holy attire, but with an expression exuding only evil intentions... She watched the draconic corpse as it landed just inches away from Karasu. Her heart sank.. In that instant, her guardian's expression changed from the dignified complacence which it usually held, to a look of utter horror which knew no shame.
Unfortunately, the Elf had no time to feel sympathy for her dear friend, as she soon heard Marten telling her to return to Eden to fetch Miles. She looked back toward the cave entrance and the sight of her guardian shocked her: she was heading straight for the cave at an alarming speed. She started forth with a new mission in mind: to bring Karasu to her senses. But before Yousei could take another step, a blackness had enveloped the outside world, and there they stand in darkness...
Karasu beat her wings against the strange vortex as it appeared, so as not to collide with the obsidian wall. She hovered there for a moment and heaved a frustrated grunt before unleashing an emphatic bellow and allowing herself to drift back down to the warm desert sands. She shut her wild eyes tightly and dug her claws into the earth once more...
Yousei watched Marten in awe as he talked to the hellions with such confidence. He was obviously not afraid to openly express his disrespect for them. As he unleashed a blinding attack on Sagor, Yousei immediately shielded her eyes for fear of welder's burn, lowering her arms only once she was certain that the spell had been cast and the light was gone. She then instinctively reached for her blade at her waist; out of all of the demons that she'd faced in the past, darkness was the thing which she feared most...
(Holy crap.. That was a lot to respond to. Lol)

Marten smiled as he heard Seg's tyrade. He had no doubt that Seg's training in human combat, combined with his draconic magics, would prove his strength to the dragons. Whether this would be enough to impress Karasu or another female was another matter, though. He had a feeling that defeating Ju-Hades, while impressive, would not measure up to the honor of killing the half-giant who had already proved to be more than a match for this brood of dragons.
He turned his thoughts back to Sagor as he closed the few remaining meters between them. He cast in his mind back to a book on Giants he had read. 'Giants: resembling large humans, they are much more deadly than their increased size would appear. Though they are up to four times larger than a normal humanoid, their strength is not proportional to their increased size. Giants have been known to lift up to eight times their own weight, though they can only carry about a third that ammount for any distance. The average giant has a voracious appetite and will eat almost anything, though they prefer fresh meat when available.' He stopped there. This creature was half-giant by the looks of him, so most of the remainder on how to fight them was useless (aside from the fact that most of it was on how to run from a giant, since the author assumed nobody in their right mind would assail a giant without at least a regiment of specially trained soldiers). He reached into the magic stream once again, this time selecting a much darker thread and weaving it into his words. "DROP YOUR GUARD!" he yelled at the half giant, throwing the word of command full force at him while he brought the sword up full force toward his groin. With any luck, the spell would confuse him enough that Marten could strike and then move out of range before he could retaliate, though his own magic attunement would no doubt provide some protection for his mind.
