Holly finally screamed and bolted.
Sophia met the beast head-on.
Joren hit it from behind.
Bianca and Miles arrived a heartbeat later.
Uther's arrow struck true.
Sophia drove her blade into the weak point as the others forced it down.
It collapsed with a final violent thrash. Immediately they were done, they moved to the next ones with the same strategy in place.
Cries of battle echoed.
Then… silence.
Three more massive bodies lay still in the snow.
Seven Tidebreakers total.
Breathing hard, shaking, covered in blood and foul-smelling paste, the team regrouped slowly.
No one spoke.
Finally, Joren let out a breathless laugh. "We… actually did it."
Sophia didn't smile.
"I'm hoping we don't have to face any more of them again," Miles said, breathing heavily.
"Me too," Uther said with a nod.
Sophia turned to them, breathing heavily. She lay on the floor, eyes closed.
"You okay?" Joren asked her.
