They ran through the thick forest, trying to reach the portal in time. Behind them they heard the agonizing screams of everyone they loved as they were murdered. Celeste stumbled over a dead root, and Darrius hurried to help her up as her hand flew to the amulet around her neck. They were close to the portal, she could feel the amulet pulsating. The sound of their enemy approaching quickly came to their ears. He looked down at the woman he loved and saw the fear in her now sapphire eyes. His heart broke at the thought of her being captured by the disgusting beasts that hunted them.

"The priestess, she's escaping!!"

She felt the pull of the portal as it came into view, but they were the only two left that were capable of seeing it. . They were just a few steps from the portal as the demons approached them. He threw the woman he loved behind him as he drew his sword.

"Get out of here now! Save yourself!"

She stared at him as he fought the demons, but his powers were dwindling fast/ She knew there were too many for him to fight alone, but she also knew she had to survive. She could use her powers, but since there was no moon, they were limited.

"Get through the portal!"

She winced at the concern and anger in his voice, but she didn't budge from her spot. He turned to her and waved his hand fiercly. The power from his body shot at her, sending her flying through the air, straight into the portal. Just as hte portal began to close, she saw one of the demons rip his soul from his body. She would have screamed, had the shock not been too great for her.
