Aelynn followed behind Aisha, noiselessly keeping up with her. Aisha made the decision to go after the demon, for whatever reason. He saw no reason to be on guard, but he was looking around the forest, very faintly detecting a demonic presence in the area, as it grew stronger. She seemed to know where she was going, and so he felt little need to speak up.
He found his way through the foliage with little issue, nearly all of it being torn apart by Aisha, or being easy enough to navigate for the arcane entity. The demonic presence once-again grew stronger, and Aelynn knew it was nearby. He wondered whether the killing of such a powerful creature was necessary, and whether it had lived its own life. He had come to understand some of the basic morals of mortals through the time he spent with them, but even barbarians and greedy, power-hungry figures that he had heard rumors of seemed to pale in comparison to the atrocious things demons could do.
In that regard, if demons truly did such detestable acts with no good cause, was it really a negative thing for them to be killed if they decided to fall out of line?
Aelynn's thoughts, however, were interrupted when the dogs transformed. He eyed their true forms, hulking beasts that were a far cry from the idle dog or two villagers had kept. The ability to sense different magics flared as the tents burst into flames. Then, shortly after, one of the unholy creatures pounced at Aisha.
Aelynn didn't panic, but he was unsure of what to do within the moment; if nothing else, the dog seemed to have the advantage. However, sitting idly by and letting Aisha become wounded (or worse) when she hadn't even attempted to accomplish her goal seemed rather unscrupulous. Which is why, already being close to her, he rushed in front of her, stopping the advance of the creature in its path as it collided with him.
