" Lord Drake.... I feel great! And the singing."
Garak's voice was full of excitement. It looks like Angel's War Hymn has worked, Garak was beaming with energy, the singing was growing stronger. It wasn't the only thing as well, the wings and the armor were glowing even stronger after only a few seconds as well. I should probably warn him right about now.
" Garak, I know it feels great, but be careful, since I don't know if this ability has a time limit or not."

Seriously? That's all it takes?
/ Thump!/
" Hm!"
" What did you do!?"
/ Clang!/
To my surprise, an Elf was able to slip through the Demons again and he quickly tried to attack me. It's like he instinctively knew that I had cast a spell. Did he track my mana? Either way, he raised his sword and attempted to attack me, I quickly brought up Scarlet to block his sword strike. Our swords were clashing against each other now. I was caught a little off guard since the textbox was still open as he tried to attack me.
/ Slash!/
" Ah!"
/ Thump!/
" Lord Drake!"
Just as I was able to close the textbox, so I could begin to fight without being blinded by a countdown. The moment I had full vision, I saw a look of pain on the Elf's face, that and I hard the sound of a sword cutting through the air. I looked behind him to see Garak had cut him in the back. The Elf had fallen on the floor and was now wiggling about like he was trying to find a position to stop the pain he was feeling.
* Stab!*
I quickly stabbed the Elf in the head to finish him off... There's no sense in trying to take him prisoner. I don't even know where I would begin to do that... Pushing that idea to the back of my mind, I looked at Garak and began to speak to him.
" Garak. Thank you for the help."
" Don't worry about it Lord Drake. But what caused you to be blinded? I know that you're quick enough to counter a Swordsman of that level without much issue?"
" It was a textbox."
" A textbox?"
" Yes... When I asked about the time limit a textbox opened up and showed me that we only have around 25 minutes for the spell to be active."
Garak took in the information that I've just shared with him... After that moment had passed he began to speak to me.
" Do you want me to inform the others?"
" ..."
Garak asked a tough question for me... Do I let the Demons know that they have a time limit? Will that make them timid when fighting? Do they push harder and take more risks? What if the Elves hear about it? There's a lot that could go wrong... And I can't get a 2nd opinion from anyone.... Maybe I shouldn't have even told Garak... Oh well. I need to think about how to achieve the first goal and to do that...
" No, don't tell anyone, keep it to yourself... No... That's not right.... Inform the Group Leaders only."
" Only the Group Leaders? Understood!"
