Sam's face lit up with hope as he realized what Uriel was asking him and he began channeling flux energy towards his orichalcum earring which was both a wedding and a parting gift. The small artifact glistened with light as the air element infused into it started taking effect and Sam was lifted from the ground as though by magic causing the mass of changelings to shift their attention towards the runaway hunter.
Uriel and the others did the best they could to provoke the creature, but since they were so many different creatures working for the same purpose it had no effect and the cryptid managed to grab onto one of Sam's legs to keep him from warning the rangers.
At that moment everything seemed lost and the hunters were about to give up on that strategy and focus on taking down the cryptid but something small moved at a high speed, way faster than the cryptid could react, and perform a spectacular jump towards the wall.
