Arrow pelted the best, digging through flesh and fur to injure the raging billy. But a single beast was easy to best, the problem seemed to be the other billies turning about and flaring their nostrils, snorting and stamping their feet to the ground. K'iara's eyes focused in on them. If they sought one, they would have to fight more, and there inlaid the challenge. There had to be a way to frighten them off. To block the heard from their target.
And there was. Fire!
K'iara's eyes darted frantically through the chaos. A few of the heard had already come forward, charging at the huntresses and forcing them to halt their arrows and dodge. The loud crunching noise of horns ramming into a body caught K'iara's ears first. Who was the fool to get hit? It would be none but K'nahli. Her eyes narrowed, both of concern and irritation at the mewling cub, laying like a target on the floor. But what would have been her death, was avoided by a stray arrow. K'iara's eyes followed the arrow back to its source, the ever timid Tahja crouching atop of the hill. And it seemed the beast had followed the arrow back to its source as well as it turned and snorted to her.
With a rough irritated grunt, K'iara pushed forward with all of her speed and might. Her feet barely touched the ground as she ran with the speed of the wind's grace. With a snarling roar, she approached the beast from behind, grasping her axe and tackling into the billy, using her momentum to heave her axe into the billy's neck. The axe bit fast and hard into the tough hide, breaking through all its defenses to cripple it. K'iara yanked at her axe hard, pulling it free of the beast and kicking a leg out to push the crying billy over. It served no threat to the rest of them being so crippled. Her eyes turned back over to K'nahli, where the pink-haired K'mih now was trying to hold her.
Once more, K'iara darted across the scene of the fight to the girls. The Head Huntress grasped at K'mih's shoulder as soon as she was close enough and pointed out towards the line of beasts now looking towards them.
"Fire! You must set the brush on fire!" K'iara demanded. Her voice was almost painful to hear in the way it cracked and wheezed with effort to be so loud. "Do it now before we are overwhelmed!"
