Despite having already killed the beast, it still had to die. Sandworms were notoriously dangerous for their capacity to slowly die and take things out with them. Namely cocky Miq'ote hunters that got too close. What Sandworm would be complete without a few death throes?
K'yohko was not surprised that K'mih tripped over herself, nor that K'nahli stood in front of her sister to protect. The only thing that really surprised K'yohko, was the fact that K'ile actually managed to hit something with his bow before being knocked aside uselessly. Somehow, K'yohko hadn't expected K'ile to be so foolish as to charge back in demanding the beast take arrows either. Experience told K'yohko that K'ile was going to be crushed beneath the worm's massive weight as it fell, and that punching arrows into his thick hide was much harder than it looked.Â
"Move away from it!" The Nunh called loudly, furrowing his brow ever so slightly in a particularly unusually opaque display of emotion. K'yohko racked his brain. What could he do to stop K'ile from being crushed? Tackle him? Shove him out of the way? But if he was thinking of the bigger picture, he was more valuable to the tribe as it's established Nunh. The loss of a Tia was far more recoverable than to loose the only present Nunh. Still, it wasn't as if he could simply let K'ile be crushed.Â
K'yohko darted forward, moving effortlessly through the sand without kicking up dust clouds behind him. He had walked through this sand all his life. Running through it was only second nature to him. Bringing his bow up once again, he pulled arrows from his quiver and shot them true and straight to the fleshy and less protected hide of the Sandworm's back end. Despite most of the Sandworm's attention going to what was in front of it, if K'yohko could only redirect that attention to another direction he might get the wurm to shift weight and fall without crushing the Tia.Â
One, two, three, and four arrows all pierced through the hide sharply in stinging succession. But the beast was completely focused on the threats in front of it. It flailed forward at K'ile, crying out loudly as the Tia stabbed it with arrows and K'nahli pierced through his head, sending a rain of crimson blood down upon K'ile. The wurm was dying now surely, as great globs of blood began dropping from his many toothed mouth at its front, once again raining down on K'ile. But it's flailing sent the droplets everywhere, including at K'mih and K'nahli.Â
By this time K'yohko had made it through the sands, dodging raining blobs of blood to a position between K'mih, K'nahli, and K'ile. He maintained a position so that he might not be crushed by the wurm should it fall, but in range that he might try to save anyone who could be in danger.
