All six creatures charged at them and one bounced off the shield he'd made. It gave him a moment to get a feel for what they were facing. Strangley, the rest of the things seemed to watching carefully. It was unsettling to see intelligence in such inhuman distorted faces.
That was cut short, though, when Xena charged at the wall. He tried to yell at her to stop and the words died in his throat as the wall just....melted. The threads of air just dissolved.
He didn't have time to think, though, as two of the creatures rushed at him. His gun fired twice and one of them went went down, the side of its head gone. He fired at the second moment to late at it on grazed the side of its shoulder. It howled but then was one him, this time like some sort of large dog. Its jaws clamped on his arm, thankfully only getting a mouthful of coat.
He wove air and fire and the thing howled and jumped back. More fire and the thing fell to the ground, the air reeking of smoke and burned hair and rotting meat.
He saw Xena with her blade whirring and she took out one of the creatures. It seemed odd that so many of them had targeted her first. She killed one and then things seemed to slow as the remaining three held back warily.
He struck at the one closest to her, fire erupting from its every pore. The remaining two jumped back.
