A low rumbling filled the cave, closely followed by a deep growl. A set of eyes lit up in the darkness, yet the body behind it seemed to be missing. Perhaps it was made of shadows. Either way, the threat was obvious, and their battle was determined as a mass of shadows, impossibly darker than the darkness around it, gathered by the creature's face. A glint shone in the air, then the mass shot itself at Ithilwen.

" I wasn't here for you this time little brother." Dali said, holding him by the throat. Cecil's dark red eyes fixed on Dali, glowed. He started to lose air the longer Dali held him. "Hm." Dali looked down to Cecil, who seemed as limp as a dead man and walked off. Cecil started coughing a few times before getting on his feet again. Dali turned around, seeing his younger brother was in fact a bit stronger somehow. "I see. But it still isn't enough to kill me... you know that." Dali said standing a few feet away. .... what if the next time I see you ...youre dead?..... (flashback is above) "No, not this time......." Cecil thought as he ran determined back to his brother, raising his hand in the air when Dali vanished. "Don't you dare go after them- " he added to the thought, when Cecil realized what could possibly be happening and turned around to meet the rest of the group. Hopeing........that he wouldn't be too late. More evil then Dali was close, he could feel it.
"Ithilwen! look out!" Shana yelled, attempting to push her out of the way.

"LOOK OUT!!!!" Angelus roared as the shadow monster went for Ithilwen. Angelus leaped into the air to wards the beast and Ithilwen. As he was in mid-air, he shot three accurate air blasts at the beast's eyes, for that was all Angelus could see of the monster.
He landed swiftly and charged the beast with his staff out in front of him.
"Get out of there, Ithilwen!"

"What- no. Why, would Ithilwen be wanted from someone- even from my brother she isn't in the way of anything.... or is she?" Cecil thought, turning from his sprint into the cave. "Where's Cecil when you need him eh?" Shana asked looking dead on from where Angelus shot. "Miss me?" Cecil asked as he jumped into the air and got in front of them. He went into his fighting stance, and as his eyes glowed.... Cecil could see what was trying to attack them. "Where have you been?!" Shana asked Cecil. "No time for that, we got much bigger problems right now Shana."

Angelus got closer and closer to wards the creature. When the eyes of the beat were within ten feet of Angelus, he swung his staff with great speed and accuracy at the invisible body of the beast. The staff made contact with nothing and Angelus flew right through the body of the creature and hit the opposite cave wall.
He fell to the ground, but the fall was not that bad and he was able to stand up pretty quickly.
"Good," Angelus said panting, "You're here Cecil, mind if you help us out a little?"

"We got bigger issues right now." Cecil told them, giving a tightening grip to his fractured wrist. "Dali is after one of us, this time its not me.... and I don't want to find out who." An emotionless laugh echoed through the caves. Cecil looked everywhere around him. His glowing red eyes changed completely in color and in design (as in the eyes looked totally different). "What do you think you can accomplish, foolish younger brother? You can't kill anyone, because you're still weak. Just by gaining a little strength doesn't mean that it can triumph over my power," Dali echoed throughout the cave. Cecil continued to hold his wrist as his rage and hate for his brother raised up within him. Suddenly, a blueish colored flame appeared around Cecil's body. He had never done this before, but he could feel his strength grow. Cecil vowed to never let his friends get hurt; he wasn't about to let them into his family's problem.

"Not him again," Angelus said panting and somewhat annoyed, "you really need to get rid of him." The eyes of the shadow monster began to charge Angelus. Angelus held his ground as the eyes grew closer and closer. He figured that if he was not able to touch the monster than it must not be able to touch him. He invisible body of the beast flung himself into Angelus. Angelus felt it and he was flung against the wall. Angelus began to fall in and out of consciousness. As he was in this state, he heard an echoing voice around the cave. He then peered over to wards Cecil and saw a blue-colored flame begin to spin around Cecil.

Ithilwen performed a double back-hand spring, landing safely at a comfortable distance away from the creature, watching as Angelus rushed in to fight the demon ((Heh...where's Crossblade when you need 'im? ^^ xDDD)). What is this evil? She thought in bewilderment. Whatever it was, it wasn't going anywhere. It was then that her eyes did something they very rarely did. Her pupils narrowed and transformed into two, long slits surrounded by a torrent of cold, icy blue, increasing her vision tenfold. She now took a better look at the demon and saw that its body was not of solid matter, as if it were composed completely of darkness and shadow. Her eyes of ice flashed menacingly, and then.... She unsheathed "The White Death"... Nim'Gerth She held the sword before her in a tight grip, her eyes never leaving the creature as she dropped her voice to mutter an old, elvish incantation...The Calling of Anor'Hir -the Sun Lord. " Tolo hi, beleg Anor'Hir! Alae lîn goth a dago nâ nan erui nâ telin!(Come now, mighty Sun Lord! Behold thy foe and banish it to whence it came" And then, she slammed her sword into the ground as hard as she could, creating a large crack within the earth as it began to split its way towards the creature. From within the crack came a deep rumble that rattled the very ground, and up from the split sprang an enormous amount of bright light - so bright, in fact, that Ithilwen had to shield her sensitive gaze from the great illumination. The light then warped into a figure of what appeared to be a mighty hand as it groped at the creature, seizing its shadow-like body in a powerful grip in attempt to drag it down into the depths of the Earth.

"Everyone... get out of here...... NOW!" Cecil shouted in urgency. He looked at Angelus. "Angelus! are you ok?" he asked hoping he could get out himself. Cecil didn't know what kind of powers lied inside him at that point. He didn't want someone to be hurt on his behalf. "But Cecil -" Shana yelled back. "Don't worry about me Shana... stop being so stupid and go!" Cecil replied back, looking at the three of them. Dali appeared behind Shana and took her by the hair. "Pathetic. Cecil, how do you put up with this brat?" Dali asked uncaringly.

Weary from the amount of strength that her attack had drained from her, Ithilwen's head turned to Cecil and the others, although her mind was a bit of a blur at the moment. It took a second for her to finally come to, and she immediately spotted Angelus. She rushed over by his side and knelt beside him. "Will you be alright?"
But suddenly, she was on her feet in a whir of silver as she sensed another presence. This one was foreign and did not belong to anyone in the company....it reeked of evil and malice.
The avariel's slitted eyes now turned upon Shana as someone appeared behind her, grabbing the girl unexpectedly by the hair. A low growl came from within the back of her throat as she stepped forward to confront the stranger, folding her arms defiantly. In a calm, yet stern, voice, she commanded, "Release her." The statement was harsh and dripping with ice- something not to be taken lightly.

Dali ignored it, throwing Shana to the ground. "Let go of her Dammit. She's not in this Dali-" Cecil yelled. "Like the elf could do any damage to me," he said. Cecil made a fist, giving off even more power. He could move, no matter how much he wanted to. Cecil became more angry at the situation he had gotten Shana into. Dali threw Shana to the ground, then kicking her body to the cave wall. Tears ran from Shan's eyes as she gave up all hopes of getting out of this fight.... alive.

"I will be fine," Angelus said softly. He was able to stand up, but his vision was still blurry. He saw two figures in the distance. One of them was Shana and there was another figure behind here that was unfamiliar to Angelus.
He heard Ithilwen speak next to him, but he did not recognize her voice. It was deep and unnoticeable. Then, Angelus' vision came back to him and he recognized the person behind Shana. It was Dali. Angelus was able to recognize him from class. Angelus held his staff in an attack position. "Will you ever leave us alone Dali?" Angelus asked menacingly.

Cecil ran towards Dali with his all, forgetting power, forgetting his own life, forgetting his teachers... The only thing he could think about was his friends getting killed one by one..... the only thing he could hear was his heartbeat. "Leave them ALONE!!!!!!!" Cecil yelled, now jumping in the air, higher than Dali's body. Dali vanished and reappeared behind Cecil. Flashes of the past went into Cecil. Dali kicked Cecil in his shoulder from the air onto the cold ground. On his body... there was a wound across his back. "Foolish....... younger brother...... you're just as bad as our parents." Dali said, walking towards Ithilwen.

Back in the school... but still relevant to this...
"Zet!" Kerret gasped, banging the door open to the drow's office, half doubled over and out of breath. Zet put aside some papers and raised an eyebrow at Kerret, his eyes covered by that blindfold as always. "My new student, Ithilwen, she went into the Underwater Grotto!" "A lot of students go there, Kerret. Calm down," Zet explained patiently. "You don't understand! An underwater squirrel just told me a big fight in going on in there, and the students are not doing well at all," he said earnestly, his blue eyes begging for help. "An underwater squirrel told you this?" Zet asked, his tone speaking volumes. Kerret nodded. "And you want me to come with you and help them out?" he asked again. Kerret nodded. Zet shook his head, wondering exactly why he was doing this, but he grabbed his cloak nevertheless and followed Kerret, who was already running towards the caves.

When the avariel saw Dali approaching her, she held her ground defiantly, her slitted gaze of ice burning holes into his figure ((not literally, of course ^^; Heh heh...)). Then in a flash- so fast, it could not be perceived by the human eye- she swung Nim'Gerth around in front of her, the blade pointed straight at the oncoming enemy. "Come any closer," she growled threateningly between clenched teeth, " And I will assign to you a fate worse than death"..... ...And she meant it... No one hurt her friends and got away with it.... no one. Not even the Devil himself could do harm to those close to her and get away with it unscathed. Ithilwen's words were seething with venom. "Trust me...I can do more damage to you than thought humanly possible." All her lost energy due to the summoning of the Sun Lord had flown back to her in the form of rage and pure hatred as her eyes flashed in stark mockery- daring Dali to come any closer.
