The sudden pull and overflow of water from the river was enough to catch at least one of the wolves off guard. The feathered one hadn't dodged the wave and looked hindered. The horned one hadn't either, she'd noticed as she turned to check on their pursuits with a quick glance over her shoulder, but seemed less affected than the feathered one. Her hunch had been correct. He had braced, and had launched an attack at them, chasing them in hot pursuit. The flurry of action happened so quickly that she and Shifty had hardly had a chance to place distance between them before she heard the sharp cry of pain from her new companion. She heard the feathered one yell, "Loyalty kicked in now?" after them. She glanced her shoulder, looking to see if Shifty faltered. He had. He'd been struck by one of the three.
Her step shifted just in time to dodge a clump of fire being spat at her by the hyena who cackled and laughed with excitement. As if the fight wasn't intense enough, the hyena's cackling sent extra chills down her spine. Her heart raced and thudded in her ears. What was she doing? Why had she turned back suddenly? She had. As soon as Shifty had called her for help, she had done a complete 180, spinning on her heels with a slide, forgoing attempting to cross the river, and ran back towards their attackers. 'Why are you turning back for a stranger? So what if they capture him? He knows nothing of me that others don't already know. Enya, turn back around, damnit!' Even as she scolded herself, she ran, trying to close the distance between Shifty and the others which, thankfully, wasn't far as they were fleeing together.
She placed herself between Shifty and the others and made an attempt to cast her healing magic with enough energy to allow Shifty to keep on the move. "Run, Shifty. If you make it, tell Caedwyn and Eon what happened here today. Follow the river East and call. Shifty, go!" Her teal gaze turned back to look at the two Verdantis wolves. There was fury within her gaze as she stared at them, challenging them each in turn. Darn that hyena having a tactical mind and forcing her to see only two of the three! Her lips pulled back as she snarled, her saliva dripping with a neon green. Her fur bristled along her body and she took a defensive stance for just a second. "Come on, then. If you're going to capture me, I'm going to make you work for it." With an opportunity spotted, Enya lunged forward towards Gabriel with her fangs barred. She leapt forward, aiming to bite any of his limbs to slow him down.
