Slowing down, Kellus stops as he tries to make sense of what Gaean is sending him.  The nagas have started to move, but not in the direction they were expecting.  When Ara's message comes over the radio, it confirms his suspicions and Kellus reverses direction, heading back toward their location.  Quickly gaining speed, he drops the veil, as all pretense of secrecy is lost at this point.  Passing overhead, the crack-boom of his passage would be unmistakable to Arkain and Jaku.  Landing further back in the forest, he pulls Gaean and Arboria back to him, then sends them directly toward Jaku and Arkain, following quickly behind them.<br/><br/>Emerging from their concealment, the two furies quickly outpace Kellus and close on the nagas rapidly.  Arboria scuttles up into the branches above them, leaping from tree to tree, but Gaean takes a less subtle route.  Rising from the ground, he simply charges toward Jaku, plowing through anything in his way without slowing, including at one point a tree almost a foot around.<br/><br/>Stopping, Kellus unlimbers the massive bow from his back, then grabs an arrow and sets it.  Although he seems to be much past the effective range of the weapon, he draws and fires in one smooth motion, the bow producing a low thrumming from the incredible tension it's under.  Not wasting any motion, he quickly puts two more shots into the air before the first even hits, then continues moving forward.<br/><br/>Far from being out of range, Kellus's intent quickly becomes clear as the first arrow slams into the tree about three inches to the left of Arkain, the massive force behind the shot burying the arrow up to it's fletches into the tree.  The second shot blasts through the branch he's standing on, and the third a second later all but severs it.  It's clear from the damage they caused that if any of them had hit Arkain himself, they could have killed him instantly.
