@ Mima
wait so she was heading in the direction of the sanctuary to begin with?
I thought she was heading towards the door of the HoT to try to just leave?

Purple being shadows and blue still being light and orange on the second floor being the clock and thus door to the Sanctuary.
@ Book + everyone
Ok concerning Demonarcs:
There was a race of beings known as the "creators" or Arcains who look human
They have two "paths" of sorts that lead to being either a Luminarc or Noxarc
Noxarcs are darkness and thus Chaos. Demonarcs are their true potential unleashed.
Demonarcs retain their Noxarc traits depending on what they become.
Currently I have two forms: Bia and Umbra
Umbras are closer to their original form...although they can no longer be themselves.
Bia are the embodiment of power and thus sacrifice sight for it as well as their normal mentality.
These two are the "superior" Demonarcs that are closer (surprisingly) to their original traits of being able to exist outside of shadows.
Lesser Demonarcs are their spawn and thus are weaker as they do not have the original Noxarc traits, and are thus susceptible to light as they were born in shadow.
The superior Demonarcs were were born from light, hence their resistance to it.
The reason they tend to avoid the light in the Halls of Time or the Sanctuary is because it is the light of the energy that naturally repels them.
Normal sunlight or anything else that isn't that energy doesn't do anything to them, unless it is of their other elemental weaknesses.
So with Mima destroying the exterior and the final interior wall that kept the Demonarcs in the Manor of Eternity, they can now escape as the walls had that energy and that is why they couldn't get out before.
And thus, Superior Demonarcs are now capable of escaping and thus are outside of the Manor currently.
@ Kristia
I'm not too worried about the portals here. You don't have to worry about "having to counter it with exhaustion."
