Talin ran up to the edge, saying his final prayers. As he reached the edge he leaped into the air, only to be thrown across by a powerful force. He soared across the chasm and landed with a roll that minimized the damage done to his legs. They still hurt like hell, but they weren't broken. He looked up from his position seated on the ground and saw a tall figure wrapped in a grey cloak. It looked like a very tall and thin person, except for the horns growing out of its forehead. And the fact that it was indistinct and fuzzy, it seemed to be formed from a fog that covered all of its features, leaving only a general outline. It turned to him and said in a low, breathy voice
"Why have you come here mortal?" Talin sat up and thought for a second. He decided honesty was the best answer.
"I have come to excorsize an ancient creature from my body." The demon remained motionless, yet gave of an air of consideration.
"I may help you. But such thing will be difficult for you, deadly even."
