With the defensive formation all but desperate to keep the fight between Caeldon and Xin exactly that, the collateral damage of the spells being woven between them was starting to become a factor as well. Tabitha would turn herself for a moment as she felt a great evil energy behind her. Caeldon had landed what looked to be a fatal blow on Xin, and as he staggered back a massive spike of evil energy would radiate outward from him. What was only able to be described as a torrent of thunder and lightning would ravage everything along the field of battle. A hurricane force wind would shoot forth from the top of the pyramid and lay waste to everything.<br/><br/>Tabitha herself would feel the weightlessness of her own form while being carried through the air from this torrent of power surging away from Xin. At least in the flash, that is where she assumed the origin point was. It was immaterial in hindsight as it laid waste to the battlefield as a whole. With her head still ringing like she was at ground zero of a magical explosion, she could not hear anything. It was almost certainly for the better as the groans and wailing of the injured and weak around here would have almost surely overcome her. There were signs of those who survived, and the battle was almost certain to continue as those who were capable rose back up to their feet.<br/><br/>Still barely able to do more than sit herself upright at this point, Tabitha would notice a robed man walk almost right by her. She knew who that was, it was Xin himself. How did he survive the surely fatal strike that Caeldon delivered to him? She recognized the Sihedron as well floating behind him, but her mind was seemingly being overcome by being so close to the artifact itself. There was a serene calmness that entered her mind soon thereafter, it was if the Sihedron's madness inducing powers were being blocked out by some divine presence. Tabitha would not be sure, but she was certain Iomedae herself was guiding her hand at this point. It was her darkest hour and her faith in her devotion would pay off as Iomedae seemingly herself would pick Tabitha up off the ground.<br/><br/>She knew that Xin would make short work of her so it was apparent that she needed to fulfill her secondary objective of destroying the Sihedron. Caeldon seemed to do some amount of damage to the artifact and now Tabitha had her moment of clarity. Igniting her blade using her Divine Bond, Tabitha would strike at the weakpoint that Caeldon had opened up for her. It was a gamble to say the least that this attack would even work in the first place, however what other alternative was there? Tabitha would either be easily destroyed by Xin or take a shot at damaging the artifact further. This was little more than a point where taking what was given to her as an opening was the only real option. Hopefully it would work as she would potentially even weaken Xin to the point where he could be confronted perhaps?
