Axm slid down the Lorina's back to the floor, standing at it's side as he alerted the others and had them come to his coordinates. With a crack of his knuckles, he marked a spot along the wall to where he intended to strike. He should have the wall cracked open by the time the others got there. He struck, the wall shattering several inches around the point of impact. Marble walls were chipped and shards were scattered across the floor, his shades protected his eyes from any sort of debris getting into them. For that, he was grateful his glasses protected his eyes though he couldn't say the same about inhaling the dust that flew off at every point of impact. He breathed that in because he really had no choice, he had to breathe and that was just the quality of air he was supplied with at the moment. Regardless of what it did to him, Axm would break in and he wouldn't stop until he was through with a hole large enough for the Lorina to fit through.
Inside the Room;
A small scraping sound had begun just seconds ago, lasting no more than a minute before fading out. Next, another sound came through the wall. This one was much more forceful, so much so that the walls quaked and shuddered under the impact of whatever was colliding with it. The walls quivered more and more as whatever was attacking the other side was breaking away the stone. Dust fell in from the outside as whatever it was drew closer to breaking through and into the room where Elyk kept his captive. Laurel was quivering in the chair she occupied, afraid and hopeful of what it might be. She hoped desperately that Axm had come for her at last, especially after everything that she'd been through by Elyk's hand.
With one final impact, the wall shattered and dust flew up to hide what was within and outside the room. The dust settled and Axm, his Lorinas and the others who had joined them at last filed into the room. "ELYK!" Axm snarled, fury burning in his gaze and prominent in the way he moved. He moved like a prowling tiger, waiting to pounce upon his prey for the kill. The muscles beneath his clothing rippled, his muscles straining against the now restrictive clothing as his demon form struggled to break free. He held it back for now, waiting until Laurel was in their possession and far from the room they were currently. Axm lunged forward, tackling Elyk to the ground to rumble with him while the locks on Laurel's chains were broken. "Axm!" She cried, fear overcoming her of her friend behind hurt in such a small tactic for distraction.
Sadi tugged at her now free arm, "come on! We have to move!" Laurel was hesitant, standing to watch her friend fight for her and her freedom. "Come on!" Sadi tugged harder, the girl's feet starting to move after the second tug to flee the room. The pair had their orders and they were dead set on carrying them out, there orders were to escape with Laurel while Axm handled his younger brother. The Lorinas fled the room with their riders, all four running back to the safer end of the castle. As the last of them disappeared, Elyk became enraged. "No!" The young demon struggled against his older brother to break free but to no avail, Axm's grip was too tight to be able to wiggle free in this situation.
Once the group was far away from Elyk and Axm, the older demon released his brother after throwing him against the wall. "You won't be able to get by, Elyk." Axm's normally red eyes were black, cold and empty as he looked upon his younger sibling. In truth, Elyk was briefly frightened by the sudden emptiness in that gaze. He'd grown used to the life that filled them, to the light that shined in the eyes of his elder brother but now it was gone and he was, for once, afraid of that. What did Axm have in plan for him now? Now that his childhood friend was out of the way, what would happen?
Axm waited until the foot falls of his pets faded away before moving, sending a snarl in Elyk's direction. He seemed to be frozen, but with what, he couldn't guess at the moment. A torrent of anger was rising within him and his demon form demanded to be set free, he wouldn't deny it the release it desired. He embraced the sudden change, low growls coming from him as his skin reddened with scales forming along his once smooth flesh. Elyk finally realized what was happening, Axm was shifting forms and it was something he rarely allowed to run free. Once the older demon began, it was impossible to make him stop the shift nor the attack that Elyk knew was in store for him.
