It had gone well, the Dhani would gain victory by the end of this day, the Myrians were many, but they weren't endless... or so Lyss thought, the cacophony of roars was enough to make her pause, one or two tiger roars, she wouldn't be worried, but a horde of them? That clearly represented real threat, Lyss hissed angrily in annoyance, her instincts warned her, "Ssstand your ground!! More enemiesss!" She commanded her warriors, the Dhani changed their tactic as they went on the defensive.
She was right, more Myrians arrived, reinforcing their never-ending ranks, the Dhani were clearly outnumbered as one warrior had to face at least four to five Myrians, not to mention the tigers and their riders. Her ranks was beginning to thin out, more Dhani fell to Myrian blade faster than before. Lyss was enraged, if the Myrians keep bolstering their numbers, she would just have to cut them down faster, her chakrams followed her command, slicing through bronze skin and flesh without mercy, deep in concentration, she didn't realize the arrows specifically targeted at her, thankfully her guards protected her through their shields.
The sounds of battle from behind her did broke her out of the self-induced trance, her chakrams froze in mid-air, as the priestess turned her body, what met her slitted eyes startled her, from within the temple, Siku's sacred temple, were shadows of unknown beings, Myrians? Impossible, how could they enter without her knowing? She had no time to ponder as arrows, quite different than usual, sailed to her, Lyss wasn't ready to intercept them, she raised her hands in instinct but... "NO! Kusani!!" One of her elite guards, completely devoted to her cause named 'Kusani', lunged to shield her, his scales were punctured by the arrows. The Priestess' eyes widened as a slight pang of fear entered her, the arrows were ghastly-looking, covered with barbs, perfectly designed to pierce through hard Dhani scales. No... no! Impossible! This is impossible! Her devotion to Siku caused insurmountable amount of zealous rage quickly rising within her, she commanded one of her elite guards to take command, then bringing about two of them to follow her, she would clear the temple of pests! How dare these monkeys sullied Siku's domain. She called back her chakrams, cutting through Myrian flesh as they returned.
The priestess slithered quickly to the temple, res flowing out from her palms as they covered her two guards' shield, then began gathering earth, reinforcing their shields with tough stone, those should keep the barbed arrows at bay, as for herself, she kept her chakrams floating in front of her in a vertical position, ready to cut through arrows directed at her.
