Not to you it isn't,not while I'm here,no fucking way.
*Zero wastes absolutely no time wrapping the angel in a tight hug,trying to get his arms around her instead of hurting himself*
I've got you,hey,I've got you. Breathe,can you breathe for me,please? Just hold onto me,try not to listen,I know it's awful-
*She squeezes him tightly,to the point where her nails are digging into his skin a bit*
I said they wouldn't touch you and I goddamn well meant it,so help me gods if they come near you-
*Her voice is trembling with barely contained rage,but she's trying to be gentle with him*
It's-it's terrible. I know. But the others will help that past version of you. They'll protect him. And I...I am going to protect you.
=================================================
[Asra can't see the Demon at all right now, seems they're down in the central lava pit...The group can't see anything out of the ordinary, except how.....these piglins....have strange chain-like tattoos.....Or are those brands...?]
[The piglin brute goes down within a few strikes of their own golden blade, oinking in pain before bleeding out into nothingness, save for a few scraps of leather. Now that the immediate danger is out of the way, the whole group bursts straight into the bastion. To either side of them are netherrack braziers lined with gilded blackstone. A few magma cubes come bouncing their way, but they're easily taken out with a single WHACK of Hypno's axe, leaving behind magma cream. Time quickly picks them up as more piglins round the corner- two with crossbows and three with axes and swords, including another brute.]
Gah, there's so many-!
Shush, we'll be fine!
[They all sport the same brands, their eyes distinctly....off-color, more of a dark red that usual....The Demons must be possessing these hellpigs in the hopes of throwing the group off their trail...Time freezes the arrows heading their way as Hypno sweeps several of them off their feet, Illusion throwing a potion of sorts at them which confuses the brute to attack a wall instead, before delivering a killing blow. Blue is fighting off one of the sword-wielding piglins with all his strength, but his stone sword isn't very strong. Time helps him, stunlocking it for a moment.]
