With a thin, high pitched wail, the female Hase darted blindly through the room. Her zigzag path straight through the grand court's floor miraculously escaped being injured. Jax followed in her wake, tossing knives when he needed, carving a path to the Cotl. Mayhem broke out.<br/><br/>Hissing and shouting, the rumbling of the earth, falling rocks and for Taryn, black dots floating in from of her eyes punctuated this moment while the rest of the world seemed to be in slow motion. Even the laconic Kyote had come alive and began to aggressively follow Jax through the melee. All of this bravado had a common effect and that was to startle the boa constrictor. His grip loosened ever so slightly and she could breathe!<br/><br/>With the oxygen reaching her blood, Taryn's brain cleared and so did her ability to use her Talent.She broke down into rusty water, she noticed she had mud intermingled with it, but glorious water. Adrenaline spiked her system and she rushed with the power of a river to collect into a wall of water, protecting Lily, Jax and Jeb. She couldn't tell where the other scout was but these she could protect. and the earth began to dance.
