the moment the scrab hit the floor before the demon's aproach, the invisible beast bounced backward away from an unseen wall that rippled with visible engery for a moment, then vanished. Turned out the scrab was a talismen of egyptian origin that was designed to repell dark spirits and vioelnt intents.
The demon snarled in anger and started to claw away again and again at the transparent wall. Meanwhile the Reaper stopped for a moment to turn around to find the sight surprising. She then turned to the women in her arms and said with confusion, "How in the world did you do that?"

Raven rolled her eyes in irritation, "Oh whatever, I dont have time for this." she then glanced back at the demon the moment she heard the sound of cracks. She had a beating heart it wouldve skipped its rythum because the monster was breaking through. It truelly was a powerful beast.
She cursed under breath and continued to run away until the made it outside. She then set her down against the out wall of the university building and said to her, "I dont know how you did that, but I suggest you get out of here before that thing has you in its teeth. You run, and you never remember any of this, got it?" she said intimidatingly.

Mrs.Blade seemed to mumble something under her breath about not remebering something for a second... " sure..." She said sacastically. Like she could just get up and RUN, with crippled legs that didn`t even let her walk well. She fingerd her amulet for a second and whispered soflty under her breath some words she slighlty remebered.. from somewhere...but couldn`t rember from when.. probably the trip to Africa? she wasn`t sure...

Raven noticed her sarcasm and then remembered the fact that she had crutches before scooping her away. She suddenly felt a tad idiodic and crued from his previous statement. Then she noticed her mumbling and said firmly, "what are you saying now??"

" just a few reassuring words for myself," at least that how she thought them of," they always calm me down.. I think I learned them in Africa..." Mrs .Blade told truthfully. "I should really get back to my class.... I`m sure it`s safe. "She had thousands of trinkets in there after all...who knows whgat they could do.. could they do like the scarab did? maybe... she did have a strange artifact she hadn`t shown anyone... and it fit in well with the legend of Hades`s helmet... yet to her, it had something else strange about it.. but she couldn`t put her finger on it... maybe with more studying.. she could figure it out.. or just give it to the musem like she had been planning to for eons.. . She didn`t know why.. but even since they day she had found the strange helmet in Greece, she felt.. somewhat drawn to it... but thought nothing of it. Least not right now.. other than the Book of Shadows, that helmet was her prize piece over everything she owned.

Raven rolled her eyes, "no, you need to just stay put until I take care of that thing." she ordered firmly.
Suddenly, as if arriving on que, the demon came crashing out of the wall, and appeared into the gloomy light of the foggy evening. Its body was massive, hunched over, and fourlegged. It had the mouth of a fat chinned crocodile and the paws of a lion with claws that gleamed like iron. Its teeth were yellow and jagged, while its eyes were burning red. at the end of its spine was a lashing scorpion tail that dripped acid from its tip. The Demon bellowed out a teeth rattingly roar at Raven, who held its delisious prize.

"not like I can do much else.." very true... Mrs. Blade`s eyes seeemd to sparkle a bit as the roar hit and let her see through the shadows, only for a moment.. the beast remindered her of the Devourer for the Egyptian myths she had been teaching, not so long ago.. but the res tof the beast.. seeemd to fit a strnage kind of Spinx.. Mrs. blade blinked and only saw the shadows again and ponded over what she had just seen... was it real? or was she seeing things? it wouldn`t be the first time... but because of her Mythology expertise.. she ponded,thinknig to herself about the myths about The Devourer of Hearts along with Spinxes since the beast reminded her of a mixture of it. .but since it had been replaced with shadows, she also ponded about myths of Shadow beings and demons.... all these myths seemed to spill quickly nito here head as she pondered and thought ,even seeemd to not move onme bit.. the only thing that was ,were here eyes, as if she was scanning pages. and like always she thought about thier possbility of them being real, Atlantis, the gardens of Bablyon, Osisri`s rebirth, the virgin birth, Iris`s conception of Horus, theTitian wars agianst the Greek Gods, Pan`s Labrynth, the Chalace, thousands of other myths seemed to zoom through her head as she thought while Raven did... whatever Raven did.

Raven knew she had no other choice, she had to stand and fight. She glanced at the teacher for a moment and then glared back at the Demon, ready to charge. with a single swift gesture of her right arm, a great scythe appeared into existance, the blades edge as black as crow feathers, and a single, unblinking eye, glowing yellow, stared at the demon menacingly.

Mrs. Blade looked over slighlt and saw the scythe. with that, she looked back down and thought quickly about other myths.. Shinigamis, Hunters, Snatchers, angels and so much more. But then she thought about what in the hell was going on.. exactly wha twas gonig on.. could her wish be comming true? or was she just becoming delusional? but the sythe.. it had looked so real.. she wasn`t sure about any of this right now... to calm her troubled mind, she thught of her favorite Myth, the Book of the Dead, which she owned two papyrus scrolls of out of the thousands and had given one to the British musem, Aideumten`s, or Ayum for short, Scroll, which had became famous quickly because of how long it was and how fresh the painting on the papyrus scroll looked.

The demon charged, and so did Raven, and as the two collided, the beast tried to swipe her head off, but she was able to easily evaded and in midmotion, she swng her scythe just below the monster's shoulder and cut clean through, as blood suddenly gushed out of the monster's large wound. But even though it lost a leg, it was still able to fight without little hinderence.

Mrs Blade looked up as she remebered some spells from the papyrus scrolls of the book of the Dead she had collected and whispered one, meant for the devourer and looked over to the demon just to see if her theory was right... and it would cement myths were actually real things.. or at least, some of them... oh my.. the excitment was overbearing!

Raven could suddenly feel a familiar force, one like her own, but more violent, more raw with energy. Suddenly she could feel the ground beneath her feet start to rumble, but the quacking started to shift and focus more on the Demon, before the monster could react, it already found himself in the massive jagged teeth of a shadowy mass. It was made of pure black shadows, shapless and constantly shifting until it suddenly chomped its nashing jaws together, crushing the demon instantly. As its shattered bones and torn flesh was slowly swallowed down. The figure suddenly vanished as soon as it came.
When all that remained was silence, Raven stood beside herself and muttered out, "How did a black hound get here...?"

Mrs. Blade blinked in surprise.. she didn`t think that would happen.. nor knew what the hel lshe jsut did.. but her theory. .shw wans`t sure if it ws right.. or worng.. but now she knew it had a better chance of being right for sure.. and she couldn`t beleive it... nor did she not want to beleive it.
holy mother of Ra.. " a better question is ..exactly what the hell just happened... and exactly what the hell you are." Mrs Blade mumbled aloud as she thought and couldn` tcome to any realistic reason. But loved that she couldn`t.

Raven looked back at the teacher, somehow suespecting that she was rsponsible, "How bout you tell me, what you just did! Were you the one that summoned that Black hound?" she interrogated her, she wasnt sure why she was wasting her time with this women, but then again, no humans has ever been this involved with a demonic conflict and actually live.

" i just used an old spell form the book of the dead I own.. didn`t think it was going to do anything.. but it begs to make me think about my theory.. just might be true.." Mrs. blade told truthfully. " so now it`s your turn to answer my questions truthfully."

"You honestly think Im gonna tell a mortal like you what happened?" she asked rhetorically, "youve already seen enough, any more and that brainiac head of yours is gonna crack from insanity! Right now, I need to get this soul back to purgatory before I..." she suddenly stopped herself when she noticed a term the teacher had used and looked at her suspisciously and said, in a calmer tone, "Did you just say you were familiar with the Book of the Dead? the scriptures of Anubis and Osirus...?"

Mrs blade was quietly surprised as to what the woamn had just said 'purgatory'.... hm... how strange.. she had never heard of such a thing.. in any scriptures.. or myths of any sort... and the fact she called her 'mortal'.. interesting.. maybe he rtheory was right! but she`d keep iot to herself.. "well of course I am, with my job I kinda have to... but as you said, I`m just a mortal and you need to go back to this purgatory to bring back your soul you`ve collected. So why don`t you do that?' Mrs.Blade retorted, she was quite the listener.. pciking up on things the woman had said," I need to get back to my class anyways. So if you don`t mind, I`m going to call my boss to help me up and get me new crutchews go I can get back to teaching and doing my job." Mrs Blade was just about to open a stianlesssteel case at her hip, locked to the start of her skirt to do so.

(purgatory is an actual myth, by the roman catholic church.)
The reaper's memories started to resurface, sweeping over her like a tidal wave. The crutches, the teacher's attidude, the obsessive interest and compitants in mythology...She stopped the teacher from opening her case and asked one last question, "Whats your name...?"
