Yousei looked back as everyone else had, and was nearly frozen in shock at the sight of the 10 foot-tall golem coming to a hault just behind them. She immediately dismounted her Nienna and reached for her chainblade, but quickly stopped herself. That won't do anything... she thought, as she strained her mind for an alternative means of attacking.
As Karasu prepared to attack the beast, she noticed something dart toward it from behind. The rock golem raised its fists and Karasu immediately dug her claws into the ground. He brought them down with unimaginable force, creating tremors and causing large fissures to open up in the ground. Karasu was unaffected, but Yousei, on the other hand, had lost her footing. The Niennas screeched, as the ground shook around them. The golem seemed to be smiling, as Miles's weapon ricocheted off of him.

Mirsande walked silently and quickly through the village, the darkness covering her. Her heart was pounding as she went around the side of a house nearby and vaulted herself in an open window, her body shaking. As her feet hit the ground, she knew that she was in the wrong place. She heard the slow, deep breathing of sleeping children surrounding her, and from behind the closed doors the soft voices of adults attending to their nightly doings. Her nerves immediately turned into fear, and she turned to jump out of the window again, and in doing so tripped on an unseen toy on the floor and crashed to the ground. The resulting crash woke the children immediately, and Mirasande got to her feet quickly and clumsily and scrambled through the window. Not, however, before the childrens' parents came running into the room and a tall, thick man shouted at her. She hit the ground running, and sprinted through the village towards Luthien, who was waiting at the end of the village. She sent a quick thought to her, telling her what had happened, and Luthien began to run as soon a Mirasande came in sight. Mirasande was running with every last bit of her elvish strength and speed, Luthien in front of her and a growing crowd of villagers behind.

As the others held their ground against the creature, Hile continued his charge. As he accelerated, he became nothing more than a blur across the sand, his feet just barely skimming the surface because of his speed. Before it had registered in his mind that his blade would most likely have no effect, he was within striking distance. He jumped into the air, bringing his sword down as if he meant to cleave the beast in half.
The golem, having heard him approach, reacted quickly. It turned, reaching one of its massive hands up to catch the blade. With a loud Crack! the hand exploded, leaving nothing but a stump of a forearm. Stunned by the vibrations that had been sent up through his sword, Hile was unable to defend himself as the golem swung at him with its handless arm, sending him flying backwards.

Yousei immediately accepted Miles's hand and climbed onto his Nienna. The ground soon caved beneath Golem's foot, as Yousei's Nienna dug beneath it. Infuriated, the Golem thrashed and spikes began to protrude from every part of its body. After a moment, the Golem released the spikes, which then shot in every direction. ~Camthalion..?~ Karasu perked up, at the sound of his voice, ~We're coming! Just hold on!~ Karasu was just about to follow Yousei and Miles, when she noticed the stranger lying in the beast's line of fire. She quickly leapt toward him and stood inbetween him and the giant, spreading her wings to further shield him from the attack. She winced as her wings were pierced in several places, as well as her back and neck. Fortunately, her scales were thick, which kept the spears from sinking too deeply.. As soon as the Golem had ceased to attack, Karasu collected a bit of the newcomer's tunic in her mouth and carried him swiftly down the pathway.
