Re: Forest
((Note, this is taking place elsewhere in the forest, far enough away to not readily be visible to either woman, unless they actually have the ability to sense things from a distance.))
Siphon had called in a few favors with things, and not was patrolling. He had chanced upon several advance scouts of the demon hunters, and had descended upon them quickly, and without mercy as they skulked about through the night.
The battle between him and the five scouts didn't take long, they hadn't been aware he was there until he was on top of them, and he easily killed two of them long before they were aware a problem existed.
The other three had drawn weapons and slashed, only serving to further anger him. He killed one by literally cleaving him in half with his claws, while slashing the throat of another and allowing him to bleed out.
The fifth he simply disarmed and power slammed to the ground, allowing the terrified soldier to live as he spoke.
"Your people attacked HUMANS on grounds of learning. I care not if you were hunting demons, or what your purpose was. Your actions directly have placed the very lives you think your protecting from demonic creatures in mortal danger, and yet you continue to press your luck. I give you a message to return to your people. Yes human, this means today your lucky and I shall spare your life, only so you may pass on a message. Your deeds have not gone unnoticed by me. You are to leave the humans here alone, they have nothing to do with whatever hell you think is upon us. I wish to see no innocent lives taken, however your people have left me with little choice but to take matters into my own hands. Therefore, I give to you an ultimatum. Leave the humans at the place of learning alone, and take your holy war elsewhere ... Or face something far much worse than you've ever dreamt of in combat and be slaughtered like the pathetic morons you have made yourselves out to be. Heed my words human, I will not hesitate to kill any and all hunters I see on these grounds again. Your kind are not welcomed here, nor are you needed. That which brought you here has been dealt with, and IF it returns, I will personally deal with it. You are but mere annoyances to me, a mere distraction. Now go, return to your people, tell them of what you have seen, and of the message. Tell them ... they deal with a being not of any world you have ever seen, and are outclassed. Know this, I spare your life tonight, however if we meet again in battle, I will not be so kind next time. Now GO!"
After a stunned moment, the young man got to his feet and ran for his life, leaving his dead comrades, and weapons behind in his haste.
After he had left, Siphon allowed himself to return to human form, a faint grimace on his face.
"And so it must be. They will likely still come, however hopefully by then Julia will have arrived, and they will get a taste of knowledge and common sense. Now ... to clean up this mess."
It took him some time to properly dispose of the bodies, and ensure they would never be found. Once he had done so, he removed a small flask from his clothing, and poured some strange liquid onto himself. Within moments, any trace of blood was removed from his person and clothing, and he quietly replaced the flask, and retreated into the night, vanishing as quickly and silently as he had come, leaving no trace he'd even been there.
