Taipan's bow string cracked with the sound of erupting thunder of a sudden storm, his bow flexes with the plasticity of a serpent's deadly grace and his arrow is propelled with the savage accuracy of of a hawk's dive, aimed directly at Hamilcar's right shoulder.
All the while, Canis, despite being farther away from his target than the guards, arrived first. His gleaming blade hurdling towards Hamilcar's legs. Their coordination honed after centuries of battling side by side against invaders, was as near to perfect as any mortal could ever dream to come and executed exquisitely to achieve their goal.
Too bad they faced Hamilcar.
Coating his body in his burning blood like aura, he tightly clasped his mighty war axe in his right arm and swiftly swung up with the back of his weapon, meeting his foe's arrow with a thunderous bang that rippled out in a blinding shockwave of red, as Hamilcar's own aura disintegrated Taipan's attack.
