Sssshhhhh!
Thud!
An arrow suddenly appeared out of nowhere, piercing through the hooded figure's hand, the very hand that was gripping the sword poised to slash Lyirr's neck.
"Wrrroooo!" Liora roared with a ferocious intensity, stomping the ground with such force that it shook as she snatched Lyirrs away in a matter of seconds.
BOOM!!
Another hooded figure, who was about to stab Aether, was unexpectedly punched, and sent flying alongside the first hooded figure Aether had been grappling with.
Aether and the hooded figure landed hard on the ground, tumbling from the sheer force of the blow.
Liora, cradling the unconscious Lyirr in her strong arms, glanced downward, her eyes widening slightly when she saw... Maelona. The woman stood there, steady and poised, clutching a wooden bow with an arrow still nocked.
"Arrrhh..." The first hooded figure groaned loudly.
