Ives tries everything he can. He dives as deep as he can into his magic. He dives so deep he's nearly thrown from the beast as his grip slacks and it struggles. Even in his mastery of his magic, even with his horn gouged into the creature enough that his magic mixed with it's blood, there's nothing he can reach. And how he reaches, desperate for anything to grasp onto that might be Nehan. All he really finds is despair and exhaustion... but maybe Nehan could forgive him for thinking he found the man hiding in such emotions.
He sobs, briefly, as he wrenches his horn away from the Beast. Ives shakes his head out, tries to gather his consciousness into the moment at hand. His grip tightens up, one hand torn up and weak.
The worst part is accepting it, but Ives can do the worst sort of things when so needed. Better to stamp out the hope, because it is foolish and it will not help Nehan now.]
He's- He's gone. He's not in there- Anymore- he's consumed- [Ives grinds his teeth before giving the final order, but the command is as much to himself than the other two men. They need to set Nehan free, it's the only way there's a chance for him to return]

The beast must die, strike it down now-
