He flittered to the outside with her, close on her heels. He stopped and listened, nodding to her words. He started walking around the near outside perimeter with her, keeping his eyes open. They had to be careful, or...
His head turned, snapping to look at his far right. He thought he heard something... But then the sound was gone. So he shrugged it off, until he heard it again. He turned his body now, looking towards the forest. Everything seemed to get quiet, very quiet...
A black puddle appeared from the shadow of the nearby bush grove that was at the base of the trees. But it was moving fast, more towards the open. Raziel turned his head towards Ravalyn, but it looked like she couldn't see it, even if she was looking pretty much right at it. He turned his head back to it, then took a step back, as the world flashed in a bright light for a moment, at least to him. He seemed to remember something about this thing...
Something rose from the black puddle... no, it was the black puddle. It grew out, gaining red eyes that pierced through him. The quintpedal (5, i know it isn't a word) creature was staring right at him, and Raziel growled as he lowered himself a little to the ground. His fingers extended long, sharp, strong claws, much like a lycan would. The thing lowered itself as well, before jumping towards him. Raziel rolled to his side, taking a swipe, hearing the cry out from it. He tried to claw at him with a fast swipe to the side, but he was able to jump over it, stabbing the main body with his claws and backing off, leaving a bloodless wound on it.
Meanwhile, Ravalyn would be seeing him fighting with air, it would seem.
