"We're going to have to fight."
Immediately as I spoke, Selthia and I both went on guard. The unknown creatures circled around us, and strangely I could see a slight outline of their eyes.
Their dimly glowing eyes seemed also… reptilian.
Just then it dawned on me.
"They're lizard men," I said to Selthia. "They are nocturnal, so they won't be restricted by the darkness."
Just then, one of the creatures who was slowly sneaking up on us from behind launched at us. I turned around at the last second and with a single swing of my claws, I decapitated the lizard man mid-air. It's head was sent flying somewhere into the darkness and its body fell lifeless to the ground in front of me.
Selthia was temporarily stunned, but she didn't have time to lament as immediately the other lizard men launched themselves at us. She reacted instantly and fired out precise water slashes with her magic.
