There was a warning call that had Soh's head snapping around just as Koa cursed. Darkness moved by the gates, and then there was a massive snake appearing from the shadows. It paused, seemingly to consider its course of action, but Koa moved before it could decide, sending a blow towards the overlarge coils and dripping maw. It roared, then lunged -

Two descended now towards the serpent, aiming to distract; a third lunged for the creature's eyes, talons outstretched in an effort to blind it. "We'll keep it distracted!" Soh shouted, already starting to shift. She took to the air as a snowy owl, joining her bird friends in the fray with a fierce, shrieking cry as she aimed for the serpent's tail.

And I'll wave goodbye to the ones below
As I float on by to the great unknown
