Kumoe created the opening.
The curious head slammed sideways into the bone-armed Beastslayer, forcing Alexandra out of their exchange. Pack Rhythm renewed as she sprinted for the bridge.
The claw-legged Beastslayer jumped toward the bell support.
Alexandra met her in the air.
Their weapons collided hard enough to turn both fighters. Alexandra had two swords, while the Beastslayer fought with hardened claws built into her altered limbs.
The Beastslayer landed on the bridge rail. Alexandra landed inside the route-keeper's platform.
"Stay behind me."
The Sairren looked at her swords and then at Kumoe below.
"I have my own weapon."
Alexandra glanced back and saw a spear already resting in the route-keeper's hands.
"Good."
The Beastslayer jumped again.
This time the route-keeper thrust first. The attack did not hit, but it forced the Beastslayer to alter her landing.
Alexandra took the new opening and drove one sword across her thigh armor.
