(hhaha i prefer 1! though perhaps Al could be less injured than he appeared to be, like maybe he got a cut somewhere but it would heal by itself very soon no matter how serious it looked. But Al pretended to be in a lot of pain so he could enjoy Horus taking care of him. Sounds good?)

Alkaid was worried about Horus who seemed to be so lost in his grieve, unable even to meet eyes with him. "You demon, i would not be offering you anything. If you would not let him go, then there is no options left for me." Without warning, Alkaid released his claws and got to Horus' side as quickly as he could. He attacked the demon from his sides, attempting to protect Horus as best as he could. The demon had been smart enough to notice Alkaid's intention and deliberately directed most attacks to Horus to distract him. The fight went on and the demon had been sly enought attempting to hit Horus again, this time aiming at his stomach. Without the time to react, Alkaid surged forward to shield Horus from the demon's claws and endured the slash, but in return he slained the demon's neck at the same time. The demon howled in extreme pain and collapsed in a huge cloud of dark smoke. Alkaid looked on to make sure hte demon perished before dropping to his knees as well, a deep wound on his abdomen with blood spilling out from his palm pressing tightly in the wound.
