Silent Assassination

Leaving this little clearing, they moved only a few feet before turning around to watch. With the remains of the fire still fresh, a trail of smoke wafted up into the sky. 

"Are you sure? If it is the demons, we should go, shouldn't we?" 

Shen Varuna was confused, not knowing what was happening.

"If it is those demons, we have to deal with them first. They're getting close and should've noticed the smoke by now", Ming Yue explained.

Just then, the grass moved as five armed demons emerged from the other side. All of them moved and surrounded the fire, watching the smoke come out. One of them knelt on the ground, studying it before looking to the others. 

"There's still a few embers left. They can't be far, this fire was snuffed only recently, very recently", he said. 

The demons looked to each other, each one with different thoughts.
