Things shifted, changed, altered within a moment – the sunken tides rolling back afresh and anew. The ice melted, his eagle form had been successful in avoiding the latest onslaught, and Kiada’s ball, flung at Jigano, hit the bard, and then rolled out of play.The twinge of success; a hint of pride extended towards the Harpy, a job well executed and accomplished curled and coiled in their connections – then he descended, shifting back to human practicalities again – one threat gone, a bear and summoner still lingering. Deimos presumed Loren would attempt some other assemblage of power and contortions, but he wouldn’t be the only one.
Compelling, he sought out any other local birds, and they came out of bushes and brambles, out of thickets and thorns, around four or so, two for each of the intended targets, hoping they would offer a distraction (hovering, trying to peck) to both Loren and the bear. Thereafter, while Kiada fetched the other ball, he created one more, providing them another opportunity to strike if one or the other missed.
Ready? He inquired, awaiting her sign, her signal, before they could hurl and toss at the same intervals and instances.

Deimos shifts back to human form, and summons some birds to annoy/peck at Loren and the bear. He creates another ball, intending to throw it at Loren, at the same time as Kiada.
