[Darin closed his eyes as well. He grit his teeth and waited for the flash of pain. And while it did come, the pain wasn't as visceral as he thought it would be.]
[The blade struck true and pierced what was likely the heart of the monster. It also suck a few inches deep into Darin's own chest, stopping just at the ribs. He bites back a roar of pain...not that it would have been heard over the roar of the transforming beast he'd just been forced out of embracing.]
[The wild thrashing of the siren causes the wound on Darin's chest to open further, both his and the beast's blood pouring into and chumming the water beneath Allura.]
[Blood in the water...well, that gives him an idea.]
[He grits his teeth and starts to channel his magic. Instead of using the blood from his open wound, he focuses on the blood in the pool. Slowly, tendrils of water and blood rise and begin to snake about the creature. The water churns violently and the ends of the blood water tendrils become razor sharp. In an instant, they spiral in and constrict, impaling the siren from a dozen different angles.]
[The corpse is released and Darin dives to narrowly escape the creature's falling body.]
[Allura is likely baffled by what just transpired. She likely didn't know about Darin'd blood magic and now his body is nowhere to be found.]
[That is until he surfaces near the edge off the pool, where the water is still relatively blue.]
Gods above that's draining...
[He places a hand to his chest and starts to heal the wound slowly, having exhausted most of his energy on that little display...]
