With a nod of thanks, Hilde pulls herself onto Ezekiel. "Keep an eye on Arnett in case she looks like she's slipping off, okay?"
Hilde turned to glance towards Arnett. "Unfortunately, we are most likely going to take you back towards Mival... unless you know of a civilization nearby to heal you up."

Arnett shook her head. "Mival is the closest place here. However.... I do know of a place in the city you can take me for help. A place that oversized bitch won't ever think of looking. As for getting me back in... knowing how things work in the city, I doubt she's claimed I'm dead yet."

A cold, mechanical hand patted Arnett's shoulder. "Don't worry, Arnold. If the tall person comes for you, I'll deal with her."

"It's Arnett." Arnett grumbled....

Hilde sighed. "Sorry, Arnett, that's just how Nata is," the knight replied to the crippled woman. "You'll get used to it."
She shot the woman a quick glance, shuddering briefly at her eyeless face, before continuing. "So... he-em... how close are we to Mival from here? Do you remember at all?"

"I... I don't know," Arnett said. "I was blinded in the city... um, what landmarks do you see around here?"

"Big pillar of smoke. You leave a furnace on?" Nata asked snidely.

"That... that would be Mival itself." Arnett coughed. "The city... it was attacked by creatures last night, and we managed to drive them off, but not without lives lost and a lot of damage. If the smoke cloud is that thick... You must be no more than ten miles from the city."

"Wait wait wait, an attack?" Hilde nearly shouted. "By who? And why?"

"I blame the tall lady!"

"Maybe it is her fault... but I don't know if it is." Arnett grumbled. "But what attacked Mival were demons. They came through a portal, and it took all hands to keep them contained. I managed to bring down their leader, this big winged thing twenty feet tall, with my scythe to its neck, and when it dropped, the portal closed and the army turned to dust. As for why they attacked... Someone wanted to see Mival burn."

"D-demons? Like... fire and brimstone demons?" Hilde stammered out. "I thought that was just a myth to keep people from being bad!"

The pale face of Illusion lifted, revealing Nata's pink face. "The hell's a demon?"

Yup, hellfire and brimstone demons," Arnett answered. Her head shifted to Nata. "Beings from thenafterlife who desire pain and misery from the living. There were hordes from a portal, and their leader was huge and powerful, but i managed to stop them... but the jackass who summoned them remains at large. In this world, expect anything to possibly exist."

"This world really is going mad..." Hilde murmured, before turning to Nata. "That must be why there was smoke rising up!" She turned back to Arnett, spurring Ezekiel to speed up his trot to a gallop. "Do you know if there's any information on who summoned them?"

Nata increased her gait, keeping pace with Ezekiel. "The hell's an afterlife?"

"Life after death, what happens to your mind after you pass on. As for the demons.... No suspects were found before i ended up like this, but if i had to haphazard a guess, it wouls be Mrs. tall, bloodthirsty and asshole."

"Well, we'll find out when we get to Mival," Hilde replied. She scanned the horizon to see how close they were to the city. It didn't look like it would take more than a day to get there if they kept moving quickly... the problem was, could they keep moving at this pace?

"What do you mean, 'after you pass on?'" Nata asked incredulously. She tapped her forehead with an armored finger. "Your mind is up here. It dies with everything else. You know, like you might. Soon."
The surface runner glanced at the knight errant. "Between babying your sheep and her, we might not make it in time. Want me to run her ahead?"

Hilde rolled her eyes at Nata's comment before glancing towards her, trotting to a stop. "Sure, I can take care of myself, but I don't think Arnett will be living much longer if left to the elements."
