Kedo and Azula rush forward engaging the shield brothers with tying their efforts, one sprouts a wound from his back where a card struck. Golden light shone down from the west where a whirling essence cannon fired in too-quick succession, the wounded brigand was driven almost straight down by the black cherry spear of power. Azula's duel partner was knocked clear off his feet and cast prone to the rear of the wagon, and Kedo's dance partner almost made it clear of yet another strike, only allowing the beam to catch his hip to the detriment of himself. A sickening crunch came from the joint as it was crushed between the cart and the black cherry blossom.<br/><br/>As the Sun child rained percussive death upon the shield brothers, a strangled screech arose from the heart of a sprouting hurricane. The horse skittered away from the font of winds, already its side scrubbed bare and showing several harsh cuts. As Canticle's feet alight upon the stability of the wagon, the bolt strikes the beauty with a ferocity and chill of a Whitewall blizzard. A stunning life sapping chill saps strength and will from the beauty leaving alluring snowflake patterns on wind scarred cheeks, arms and legs.<br/><br/>Thornbrush and sapling alike fall beneath the charge of the blood ape as he reorients to the new location of the bounding flame duck. Elemental and demon have fought forever, and now again the beast looks to taste the blood of the Southern courts. The Erymanthoi races to the wagon, destruction and devastation in its eyes.<br/>
