Toku/Flynn/Aspel/Merri vs Willem
The beast tore through the city with the ease of a child knocking over building blocks. In under an hour, peace had turned into chaos. Toku felt like he was presiding over a war council. Evacuation efforts were underway, and mages currently inside the Tower had teamed up to defend their home from the enemy carving a path toward them. He saw fires burning in the beast's wake, and the screaming grew louder and closer, accompanying the beast's advance.
He did not catch sight of the hume walking some distance in front of the behemoth until the danger was almost upon them. Where the citizens ran away from the Tower, panicked and seeking safety, this man's walk seemed almost leisurely, the image of calm in the face of the destruction around him. Toku thought of Merrion's words, about guardians such as the one that had granted the cure. This was a twisted reflection of Hippolyta's power: sickness in the air instead of health, darkness instead of light.
Toku wove a Haste spell around himself. He seemed to be the only one to have noticed the hume, and so it fell to him to deal with the threat until help came. There was no time to waste.
