His world was that of lies and deception. It wasn't ever really said that one wasn't to betray or deceive their own people, but sometimes... well, sometimes there were those who needed to be told. L'garth was a large creature, and in the past had been viewed as a trustworthy and honorable demon... Which was vexing in the way most demons saw such things. Many disliked that he was so prone to give his word, which is why, when it came to it, he did the wrong thing now and again, just to do them when no one was looking.

He stood on the riverbank, his eyes transfixed on the creature before him before he sank into the water, soundlessly approaching. He disguised himself as the swirling depths as he rose, slowly coiling and his body unfurling from the water. he made his face solidify from the coiling shadows that usually made up his body between planes; The shifting nothingness committed nothing to anything, never took a solid form or set shape, it simply swayed and changed, darkening a spot for only a moment. For the first time since he'd entered the aria, L'garth turned to his physical body and stood before the escaped creature.

"Last chance," he said, his voice dripping with honeyed words. "If you come with me, I'll keep you safe. If you don't, I can't help you," he told her. The shape he took was the handsome male he'd become in the underworld, though not as ostentatious as the others, he was still a medium-sized man with respectable human features. He had no need to inspire terror in men, with skulls and animal like features. He relished in the chance to defy other creatures. It was what made him happy, these days. The face he now wore was the face he'd been so honest and trusted with. If he'd been human, he supposed he'd have wept with guilt over it. Instead, he held out of his hand. "Come."

She didn't mean to cause such a fuss. It was just so rare that she saw other creatures unlike herself. She had never been aloud to play with humans, so the little fae had taken to playing her tricks and games with other beings. Mostly it was her own friends, but today she had come across a hoard of demons. Obviously plotting something. She was a fae, it was merely in her nature to go stir up a little trouble, just a game.

Rayne had no idea that her game would cause their plan, which now seemed a lot more important than she had originally thought, to fail.

The demons were furious. They chased the small water fae through the woods, one had caught hold of her wing, crumpling it, making it unusable. Now she was about as worthless as a human, almost. So she recalled her wings, the shimmering appendages shrinking back in to her small frame.

She slumped back against a tree branch trying to catch her breath. Her tiny dress was already in tatters and her shoulder ached from her crumpled wing. Pointed ears twitched as she watched the water before her shift and shimmer before solidifying into a solid form. A rather handsome human looking man. Her face flushed, she wasn't used to a man staring at her. But this wasn't merely a man, she knew who he was. He was part of the group she had just tried to play with.

"You c-can keep me safe?" She stuttered timidly, staring up at him from behind the silvery locks hanging over her eyes. She felt so small before him. Fae were naturally petite, slender, but this man was more imposing than she figured he would be. Biting on her lip, her bright blue eyes slowly moved from his down to the had he held out to her.

Rayne was lost beyond all belief, she had ran and ran, not knowing where she was. And now she couldn't even fly to try and get home. She was lost with a swarm of demons after her. This man was her only salvation.

Slowly she reached a shaking hand out and placed it in his.
