Solstice, Lycan and Kabrakan managed to catch up to the fleeing leader of the Followers of Apophis. They were a few hours away from the original position and it would take at least four hours to catch up to them given the speed that they traveled. The group was able to intercept the Followers of Apophis due to Lycan transforming into his full wolf form.
Sirius had to carry Kabrakan with him which is why he was not able to intercept the enemy. When Solstice and the others were able to stop the fleeing Followers of Apophis, Sirius needed to return back to his master as he cannot be separated this far from him or else the link between them will become unstable.
The only ones remaining to handle the Followers of Apophis were Solstice, Lycan and Kabrakan but they were enough against the five enemies. They were able to pin the Followers of Apophis down, but Solstice noticed that the other side was not attacking them at full power.
