Chapter 15: Emotiveness.
Step! Step!
In an instant, the demogorgons were right before me. My muscles twitched and tensed as I ducked to the left, barely avoiding a pair of claws poised to rip through me.
Mid-roll, I dug the azure dagger into the ground, using it as a force to propel myself towards the demogorgon. Skidding towards the nightmarish creature, I bent my body backward, as a pair of claws flashed past my face, barely missing it by an inch.
I continued with the fluid motion, digging the azure dagger deep into the demogorgon's hide, before sliding past it. Yet, apart from a small, perhaps, slightly harrowing cut, nothing truly damaging occurred.

Each pair of claws ripped through the air in consecutive slashes and cuts, and I could only try to deflect some with the dagger, while few still drew blood.
