[Lord Windos]

As the demonic dog fell to his last blow, Venus swoops down upon it, stabbing it violently to keep the dog conscious yet still too weak to retaliate. Firmly planting his Tirch Spear into the black earth, he gently laid down the still slumbering Shiva, blessedly still sound asleep despite the chaos of the battle, on the ground. Apsis and Raphael moved to guard the both of them, not going to let any more abominations dare try to harm them, glaring defiantly into the blackness.

Then, with agonizing slowness, Ventus hunched downed over to pained dog, and smiled at them, his eyes boring into the mutts own pair with sincere Certainty. "Still so bold, even when you are laid before me like so. I'll certainly correct that false sense of superiority before I'm done with you. So relax, for this will be the last time you will do so in your miserable life."  Done with intimidating the Houndour, he gripped one of its legs, before starting his grisly act with an audible *Snap!*

{After said act of brutality...}

Standing up from the thoroughly tortured demon dog corpses, Ventus wiped his bloody hands on it body, before turning around and picking up Shiva once more. He looked upon her peaceful expression, before softly brushing some stray hairs back into place. "Shiva...rest well, my friend. I will see us out of this hellish landscape. I promise you this. May Reshirim guide me to safety," he quietly whisper, feeling his protective feelings flaring more strongly than ever before (VIT going up by 1 for 20 XP!)!

With nothing barring his path any longer, he continued towards to large glowing red light, picking up his Red and Blue Torch Staffs as he continued onwards. Only way left is forward...

Order: Continue onward on my prior path towards the large red glow, until he reaches it, Nathan stops it, or something else does. The battle is over... but is the war only beginning?
