Nagi looked over the motley pair. Let's see, one is a woman that stands about 5'6", clad in only her knickers brandishing a sword the size of a small car, the other a small boy with brown hair around the age of ten that looks like a miniature version of me. He thought. "Um…I think we have some things to discuss, so…if you'll kindly follow me?"
*************************************************************
Lyn's POV: Adeat. Noticing my general lack of clothing, I quickly drew myself behind a tree. Rummaging through my satchel, which was thankfully relatively undamaged I pulled and extra pair of clothes, and quickly dressed.
Stepping out from behind the tree, I followed Nagi back into the campsite. When I got there I took a seat next to Negi. Glancing at the ten year old Asuna I wondered, has she already made a pact with the Demon King?
Shaking myself out of my reverie, I heard Nagi ask Negi If He and I had made a Pactio. I took it upon myself to answer that question with a firm slap across Nagi's face, much to Negi and Asuna's disdain, Nagi on the other hand seemed to be unfazed by the event.
"I'll take that as a no." Nagi continued with an impish grin on his face. Raising a hand to still any other conversation I asked Nagi about who he was and what he was doing here. Before he answered however, he told Asuna to return to her tent.
Turning around to face me he continued " I'm here because I'm trying to free Asuna from some strange curse." He continued his voice turning grim, "When Asuna was around four, she made some sort of deal with the Demon King, supposedly the pact stated that she would be unaffected by magic and that she would no longer suffer misfortune. However, it also meant that on her fourteenth birthday, she would die and her soul would belong to him."
"Just as I thought." I answered. Nagi and Negi stared at me in shock, for a few seconds, and then Nagi stood abruptly and pointed his knotted staff at me. "Explain yourself!" He barked, his eyes narrowed to slits.
"Dnib" I muttered. Ethereal chains shot out of the ground and bound Nagi in place by the wrists and ankles. Walking toward him, I placed my right hand over his forehead and closed my eyes. In the next few seconds, I transferred memories of who I was and what is was and whom I fought against and whom I was allied to into his mind.
"Esaeler" I said and the chains disappeared. Rubbing his wrists, Nagi got up and extended a hand. I grasped it and shook it, accepting his apologies. "Just remember that I'm not your enemy." I told him with a wink.
A scream pierced the air, as we walked back to the table. "Asuna!" Nagi shouted running toward the tents. I quickly followed. Another shriek pierced the air. "Over here!" Negi shouted pointing at a clearing in the woods nearby.
Rushing forward I entered the clearing, and stopped in surprised. Asuna was helplessly struggling to break free from the grasp of a tall armored demon. ADEAT! I roared, summoning the Ensis Expulsum. Charging at the demon I slashed downward hewing him from neck to groin as white flames sparked along Ensis Expulsum's blade.
Negi zoomed forward on his staff and caught Asuna before she hit the ground. "NEGI, TAKE ASUNA SOMEWHERE SAFE!!" I ordered, as two more armored demons Flew over the bluff towards us.
***********************************************************
Guardian Lyn's POV: One whirled toward me with its sword drawn and I felt a tug in my gut as I changed into a more suitable form to fight it. Spreading my newfound wings I flew upward to engage it in midair. Its first strike with its sword clanged off my toughened hide, before I knocked the weapon out of its hands.
Off to my right I heard Nagi engage the other demon in a pitched battle to keep it from reaching Negi and Asuna. I heard Asuna cry out in despair and turned to look over my shoulder. Nagi had apparently thrown himself in front of Both Negi and Asuna and had gotten himself impaled on the demons sword.
I heard him assure Asuna that everything would be all right and that Negi and me would take care of her, before he and the demon disappeared in a flash of light. The remaining demon had taken advantage of my momentary distraction to tackle me from behind, bringing me crashing to the ground. I responded in kind, driving my spiked elbow into the demon's face.
Howling in pain the demon tumbled off me and tried to fly away. Whirling around I flew after it and tossed myself at it. Grabbing the demon by the sides, I plunged my facial tusks into its back. Pulling myself free, I grasped its right wing in between my teeth and tore viciously at it severing it at the point where it met the demon's shoulder blade.
As the demon crashed to the ground with me on top of it I raked my claws against its armor ripping the metal to shreds. Using both hands I then ripped open it chest cavity, and plunged my hand into it. Grasping the demon's heart, I tore it free from the rest of the body and crushed it. With a shudder the demon became still and it eyes glassed over as the life left its body.

Lyn's POV: with a shudder I returned to human form and carried both Negi and Asuna back to camp as they were still to shocked to move.
