``you want to do this thing I suggest we do it now!" screamed Kitan. ``Shut up unless you want to be shut up!" whispered one of the countless doomed souls sent on a doomed mission. The earth rippled and a thousand eyes started to glow. Five hundred heads turned as one, and Kitan gulped as a ring of fire engulfed the first ring of demons. Obviously the work of the mission`s mages. A bizarre clicking noise was emitting from the demons, back and forth, almost like a conversation. All of the sudden it seemed a consensus had been reached. The demons rose and stalked forward with deadly intent in their eyes. Half Kitan`s party also rose, although not with the intention of doing battle. They fled, only to be cut down one by one as the others kneeled, giving life force to the ones doing battle. Shadow forms fell one after one as the ones giving them life had theirs taken. Kitan got up, checking his blades before throwing himself into battle. Katan sighed as she followed him into battle "I`m gonna win this time" he called out, springing towards the closest demon and stabbing it in the heart as if it was standing still. "No fair you got a head start!" she cried, somersaulting onto the back of a demon and breaking its` neck. Kitan tossed a laugh over his shoulder. "Three" "Shit!" katan and Kitan moved through the demons, striking fast and disappearing, only to re-appear next to the next demon. The sight of two flesh and blood creatures taking on the demon gave new hope to the reserve soldiers, who ran after them, engaging the demons in a deadly dance. The tide turned, now it was the demon`s turn to flee the humans, not the other way around. Unfortunately, though, they were only reserve soldiers for a reason. They took stupid chances, leaving holes in their guard, and giving the demons time to strike back. The battle raged back and forth, only one thing remaining the same. The demons were winning. Katan and Kitan were being steadily forced back, giving ground to avoid fatal strikes. "How many?" screamed Katan over the sound of anguished screaming. "52" called Kitan. "70!" responded Katan. That left about 300 unaccounted for thought Katan. There was no way to finish all of them without help from the brotherhood. "Kitan, we need the brotherhood!" Kitan nodded, "watch my back." He said, then he dropped his sword, kneeling.

Brothers of my order

I have need of your aid

Bound together like mortar

Come to me now

Kitan's eyes started to glow as his chant came to an end. "Now the demons have real need to fear!" he said, indicating the forms hurtling from the sky. Katan tossed him his swords, and he threw himself back into the fray. Everywhere the glowing forms were the demons concentrated, going after the glowing blue blurs that were death incarnate. Exultant laughter rang out across the battlefield as one of the sisters took on her other form, becoming only so much blue mist that condensed on top of another demon, ripping its' head clean off. Finally there was only one demon left. Katan leapt forward, plunging her dagger into it's' brain. Silence fell across the battle field as Katan started to glow. The light grew in intensity and suddenly it expanded. With a sound like thunder it washed over the battlefield. The eyes of the others regained their battle glow and they spoke "welcome to the brotherhood, one who blooms late
