"What's going on...?" Pendragon asked nobody in particular. He jumped at the laugh, drawing his blade and spinning round in a strike. He met only air. A pistol in his left hand, a sword in his right, and not a clue what was going on. "The lake froze..." He said, thinking out loud. "That beast was fire... and it's in the lake too. Freezing the water would slaughter that thing." Pendragon put the peices together, trying to remember every little detail. "So, whatever froze the lake... Could be on our side..."

The trees suddenly blackened, as it the shadows were spreading through them. The inky shadows spread on the ground and into the water, and eventually seemingly covered the skies. The area was pitch black, silent.

Pendragon knelt down low, every sense alert. He considered creating a light, but decided against it. Darkness could be an advantage on his side too. If he needed to fight whatever was out there. "Could be a goth?" Pendragon shrugged, not that anyone could see it. Or maybe something could, who knew? He wasn't speaking to anyone in particular, just breaking the silence with his own voice.

The raven cawed though the words were again in the ancient tongue of the creatures, the words would make no sense to Pendragon but nonetheless the bird tumbled down through the foliage before coming to rest on Pen's shoulder, being careful not to injure him with the glistening obsidian talons which donned his bird feet ever so gracefully clutched the shoulder of the human. The bird's feathers were ruffled and disshevveled horribly so as to increase the seeming size of the bird as he rested there, the feathers brushing gently accross Pendragon's face as the raven looked about to see what exactly was going on.

Pendragon had to be careful not to end up with a mouthful of raven. "What's going on?" He asked his strange companion. "I'm not leaving without my wish." He muttered, everything depended on that wish. If he went home after the battle, it would be all he thought about. Can't leave anything to chance. I have to know...

The raven looked towards Pendragon and shook his head, further puffing up the feathers around his neck though they quickly settled again, "Do what you wish." He cawed though there wasn't much support in the tone. The bird's eyes glinted as he looked around in the shadows about them, a shudder quaking through his body and he pulled himself closer to Pendragon's shoulder, his eyes darting about them. Utter silence wasn't to be found in a forest life itself seemed to hold its breath at this moment which was slightly ironic for an undead creature to listen to but completely besides the point.

((This is the Demon's Final attack, so it can't miss and its incredibly powerful... Just a heads up =] ))
Without warning, the shadows shot out from the trees and skies in the form of dagger-like strands. They whipped out at Pendragon and the raven, creating white-hot slits, cuts, and similar attacks all over the two. The ice shattered, sending glass-like shards flying swiftly at Pendragon and the Raven, soon followed by the demon. The Demon laughed viciously, its power at its peak.

Pendragon whipped out his arm, casting a quick shield. It was quickly battered with white flares, and the attack broke through his defence. Soon Pendragon was the one taking hits. He faced the attack side on, trying to keep most of the hits from anything vital. He put an arm up to guard his head. Though only the Raven could see it, Pendragon's eyes began to glow a more and more intense blue. Until they were sparkling, and painfull to look at. That's when the glass shards appeared, speeding towards the odd duo. Pendragon let out a gasp as thousands of the shards buried themselves inside him. They didn't go deep, Pen's coat got the worst of it. Just deep enough to draw blood. His right shoulder got the worst of it, with one of the bigger shards going straight through and out the otherside.
Slowly, everything began to die down. The wind level dropped, and Pendragon's flowing coat hung close to his body. "Not bad." He said calmly, though every inch of him was screaming with pain. Pain...Love... Why do I fight against the very things that make us human...?
He pointed a finger, with all the authority of the gods he had once been led by. "But no way are you winning party of the year with a little barbeque." Pen yelled, eyes still sparkling.
Because I'm not supposed to be human.... Not supposed to be seen that way. Have to make myself something more. A force to be reckoned with.

The raven had bits of whatever it was embedded in it's body so it just decided to implode and come back, so it did. The bird was now good as new though the long gash on it's chest never seemed to go away no matter what it did. "Any clue what's going on with this thing?" the bird asked as it pulled it's feathered wings tight against his back, he didn't seem to notice the light eminating from Pendragon's gaze as he looked about for any ideas on something they could do since in the course of the fight he hadn't done much to help.

Pendragon's eyes turned white, matching with his eyes. His thrust out finger, turned into a fist. A white flame began to outline his body, burning away most of the glass shards. Leaving white after-images in the air Pendragon plucked his sword from the ground where it had fallen. "Let's go." His voice echoed oddly. Celestial began to glow too, and leave the same after images as Pendragon swung a few complex practise strikes. Then he burst into action, speeding straight towards the creature. He got about half way before the white flames gave away to black ones, with red edges. The same thing happened to his eyes. No! This isn't supposed to happen! But he was too far gone, a crazed look took his face. This Pendragon was going to rip eveything to hell and worst of all, the real Pendragon didn't give a damn. Everything still seemed like a dream.

The bird lost grip on Pendragon's shoulder and took to flight, "Soldier! What are you doing?" he cawed loudly as he feebly attempted to keep up, his black wings beating heavily as his head looked up to the demon above, "Soldier! Respond!" he commanded, a displeased expression on his face as he followed. The raven wasn't good at fighting or doing much of anything by himself and was much better paired with a necromancer or someone who was accustomed to the aid of a bird. He had no such person right now and he was all alone, and with no clue what was going on.

The Demon pulled its four swords from the pond and slashed two of them heavily at Pendragon. It seemed in a slight daze though, after comming out of the ice, and its attack was unbalanced as well as not accurate. It nontheless was powerful, and it still had two swords ready to defend.

((Aerial: No hands cartwheel. Butterfly: Sort of a jump and barrel roll.))
Images of the raven burned into Pendragon's head, in the form of white flashes. It was too late, he was too far gone. He began to perform a series of complex acrobatics, building up momentum. Aerial's, butterflies, sumersaults, hand springs. All burning red afterimages into the air. As he came towards the first blade, Pendragon butterflied high over the attack, landing on his feet to see a second attack heading straight for him. Pendragon spun around, now racing towards the creature backwards. He flicked his blade out, and with an amazing feat of strength Pendragon somehow knocked his foes much huger blade out the way.
[glow=red,2,300]"Time to turn out the lights."[/glow] Pendragon called in his strange new voice. He spun back to face the beast, and drew his katana in his left hand. The dagger began to rise into the air on it's own, Pen was calling upon it's enchantment. He leaped up high into the air, up to his foe's head. Then he began to fall, but stopped in mid air at the beast's center. That's when Pendragon decided to unleash all hell. A huge array of complex attacks. He swung Celestial, uppercut Mystere, the dagger struck forward in a stab. He kicked, he spun, he danced. Attacking with the pommel of the sword almost as much as the blade. Swing, after swing. Pendragon wasn't sure how long he spent battering the beast with blows. He finished off by sumersalting backwards quite a difference.
The second his feet touched the ground, Pendragon sheathed a sword and shot out an arm. His palm was facing the beast. [glow=red,2,300]"Zyphr"[/glow] He said calmly. From his palm shot out a black laser, small but powerful. It headed for the spot straight inbetween his foes eyes.

The Demon had prepared for an attack, but did not expect an attack of that magnitude. It was quickly knocked back, bashed, and slashed up, leaving it near death on the shore of the Crystal Lake. It held its sole remaining sword in one arm, then stabbed it into the ground. It slowly pulled itself up, its dark red eyes watching as Pendragon prepared the laser attack. As soon as the boy shot the attack, the Demon threw its sword into the water of the lake.
A magnificent fairy rose from the water, the fairy of the Crystal Lake. She vanished, then appeared in front of the Demon. She spread her arms apart and created a clear shield, which absorbed the attack of the boy. She then flew back to the water and sunk back in, out of sight.
The Demon snarled and leapt at Pendragon, its battered body still able to fight. Though it held no weapons, its vicious claws still were ready to slice n' dice.

Pendragon's eyes darted inbetween the beast and the lake. True, he could just throw something in and wish the monster gone. However, Pendragon only had one thing left on him he was willing to lose. Money. And he needed it all for what he wanted. Plus Pendragon was having a pretty good time.
[glow=red,2,300]"Only one thing for it."[/glow] He called, sounding more sober now. He sheathed both swords, but left the dagger floating. Pen drew a pistol, snapped off the barrel and then plucked Weaver from mid-air. He slipped the handle of the dagger into the firearm. [glow=red,2,300]"Seconds on the clock, but that's enough to score."[/glow]
Pen slipped a hand around to his back, touching scars he didn't remember getting. They seemed to wriggle with energy. Wings... The thought rebounded round his head, as it did whenever he touched the scars. He shook his head, clearing his thoughts. A second later he was a blur of motion, heading towards the creature once more.
