Aria was pretty sure she didn't like being called ninja lady or duckling. But it wasn't the first time someone had called her ninja lady, had any of them actually ever met a ninja? Yeah she wasn't one, Takeo had been a real life ninja, mask and all. Aria shook her head at the memory. It was the start to a very good night that had a very bad ending. The thought made the darkness creep in. And the hungry from the creatures was getting stronger, Aria didn't hide it, didn't fight it. She let it in. The danger of doing so did not escape her.
"If they bite or scratch you they will infect you!"
Which may or may not be true, but Aria had to send the warning, she didn't want to have to explain to their family why they were dead.
One of the men emanated fear, Aria pulled him closer to her, what the hell had they come down to the tunnels for. Two out of the three were godlings, the fearful one said he needed to be embarrassed, what? But Aria obliged him as the first wave of creatures hit. She grabbed his hand with her left and dug deep inside him, and found embarrassing emotions, she didn't care the memories that would flood his mind but she grabbed them and fed them back to him. For whatever reason it had better be worth it. And he slipped from her senses. For crying out loud!"
Her comment didn't draw any attention but she let the last godlings had go. She took mental note of the phenomenon, she'd deal with it later. A creature came at them, the man with the whip missed on and Aria's sword pierced it's body before it lunged at her face. Aria prayed that the blood wasn't going to get in any open wounds, that would be one hell of a way to die too. She sighed. It was the last real thought of the battle, everything else was instinct.
Aria moved around the three godlings, keeping things that got close away from them. She wasn't going to wade into the middle of the creatures no matter how tempting it may seem. The fight was chaotic. Everything happened so fast. The ceiling shook from time to time. A crash so loud it rattled her teeth. But still the things came. "This isn't going to work. We need to stop them from coming any closer to the surface."
If they couldn't kill them all, they had to stop them from reaching the surface, closing this tunnel permanently was the best idea at the moment, but she wasn't the one with the power to do that.
