Elincia's Point of View

Frozen in fear as the Demon crawled over to me, it eventually stood over my legs as it lowered its face down to my own. Even without its grotesque appearance, the shadowy form was intimidating enough. Sharp teeth were almost all I could see. It wasn't until the Demon shifted slightly that I saw swords impaling his side.
"Run!" Kheri shouted as I looked to my left and saw her there.
She looked pale, and the Demon didn't even seem to notice her attack. "Amusing." It replied without strain.
The Demon writhed as the shadows tensed. "How are you still alive!?" It demanded in a strained tone.
"Because you and your kind don't seem to understand, Tor." Arthur's voice said in his same chilling emotionlessness as the Demon tried to free itself.
"My understanding doesn't matter!" The Demon grunted out. "No one survives getting part of their head destroyed!" It exclaimed. "No God or Demon beside me should be able to survive such a wound!" A tendril shot into Arthur's chest once more, but he didn't even flinch this time.
"I'm not a God or a Demon." Arthur responded as his fingers sank further into Tor, which seemed to cause him great pain. "Make sure you keep extremely still." His eye then shifted to me. "Kheri was right. Run." He told us.
My eyes widened, and I activated my magic. Before I teleported us all away, a beam of light touched down on Arthur's shoulder. It seemed to be slowly getting bigger as I ushered the others over to me. While they moved closer, my magic sought out General Dwar in the rubble. I didn't know if he was alive or dead, but it didn't matter.
Arthur lifted Tor slightly before slamming him into the ground as he spoke while the light seemed to intensify. "A being made of shadows..." He thought out loud. "I wonder if you'd be able to survive under the full force of the sun?"
The light began to intensify and expand as I could feel the heat from it. As it started to grow, so did my fear. A horrible burning smell filled the area as I saw smoke start to appear on Arthur. Once the light touched Tor, the Demon began to writhe and did everything it could to escape. Arthur merely kept it in place as a horrible sizzling noise could be heard. We teleported away just as the light intensified.
At the palace, we heard a sickening sound that sounded almost like the release of steam. In the distance, we saw a beam of light shining down. It was blinding after a little longer as it continued to grow. Turning away from it as it became blinding, I could only pray that Arthur knew what he was doing.
