(Sev concerning your last post... Fort's name is Nathaniel, his younger brother, although he also uses the nickname Fort, is Daniel.)
Fort looked over the horrid body of the were. This really wasn't the work of a Balor Lord...
THUD...
THUD...
THUD...
KRAAAAAAAAAAAARRR!!!! A deafening roar sounded behind Fort, Griggs, and Paul and they turned, slowly. The Balor Lord stood behind them, setting fire to the foliage around it. Its flame whip snaked eerily around its mammoth legs and its flame sword hung menacingly from his hand.
Fort unsheathed Nasher.
"RUN!" He yelled.
Paul threw Clara's body over his shoulder and ran back the way they came. Griggs ran after him shooting backa t the Balor Lord for covering fire. Fort brought up the rear.
Fort heard an incantation and leapt a few feet forward out of instinct. A fireball impacted where he was just standing and the shockwave sent him flying into Griggs. He and Griggs scrambled to their feet and kept running. Fort took out his magnum and let loose a few pointless rounds into the giant demon. It was somewhat slow on feet however, so they thought they had a chance.
"KRAAAAAARAAAAAAAOOORRRR!" The Balor Lord roared again and its flaming wings stretched from its back. The giant wingspan arched over the trees lining the path in the park and set fire to some more foliage. With its huge legs, it leapt high into the air and flapped its wings. There was no skin , no membrane on the wings. it was only bone and fire. It flew purely on demonic magic. This made the group run even faster.
"We're gonna need a bigger boat!" Griggs muttered to Fort while sprinting
"Jaws!" Fort yelled over the sound of the Balor's roars. Griggs chuckled and looked back at the direction he was running. Fort holstered his magnum and grasped Nasher with both hands again.
The Balor Lord swooped over the group and slammed into the ground in front of Paul, who nearly faceplanted into the cement. The Balor let loose another deafening roar and the group skidded to a halt and ran the other way.
The Balor Lord was too close to Paul however. It brought down its huge fire sword. Fort flung himself in the way and defleced the blow, he couldn't block such a strike completely. The blade bit deep into the concrete sidewalk and send shards of it in every direction.
The Balor recovered quickly and flung its whip at Fort while pulling out the sword from the sidewalk. Fort nimbly deflected the whip as embers flew around him. Fort whirled around, dodging the pommel of the Balor Lord's sword and threw a quick slash at the Balor's knee. Nasher cut threw the leg about 3 inches in and deep red blood spilled out.
The wound would heal momentarily however, but it stalled the Balor long enough to allow Fort to sprint away again, leaping over a low strike from thw whip.
Paul was far enough away and had a good enough lead that he had a good chance of survival. Griggs doubled back when he saw Fort dueling the Balor Lord to cover him. Fort, although he had managed to get out of the Balor Lord's immediate grasp, was in more trouble.
The Balor Lord aimed its sword in Fort's direction and began an incatation. He would melt Fort with the fire spell he was casting. Griggs unclipped a grenade from his belt and tossed it at the Balor Lord.
"YOU SHALL NOT PASS!!" Griggs yelled in the process
Fort turned to see the grenade go off in the Balor's face and it reeled from the damage and interupted its casting.
"Lord of the Rings!" Fort yelled to Griggs with a huge smile on his face after nimbly escaping death once again. Fort rejoined Griggs and they sprinted into the main part of the city and darted in and out of alley's, following Paul.
The Balor Lord was on his knees and blood poured from his mouth and into his hand. He would need to wait several moments before this kind of damage healed completely. It blinded him as well, so he roared back at Fort and Griggs as they fled. It took flight and flew in the general direction of its master. He would return.
