Meirin was quick to catch up to Lyn, so there was no risk of her escaping and becoming lost. Therefore, Ssarak turned his focus back to helping end the battle. The pale guard was already dead, or close to death, and the blood-soaked necromantic entity that was Lyn's toy gave a strong hint as to why. Darius had the other guard completely at his mercy, but from his shouting, he seemed suicidally defiant in the face of death, which was especially strange, considering the situation. Regardless, the largest threat was still the robed man. At first, he seemed to be fighting Alaira, but just as he was about to take off to flank him, he noticed something that stood out in the water, something that was the same color as the man's robe. 

It did not take long for Ssarak to make a guess as to what was happening, as he knew well the capabilities of psychomancers. The robed man had either created a doppelganger to distract them for his escape, or had chosen the especially bold strategy of making a doppelganger escape to trick them into chasing. Normally, Ssarak would have just let the man run away, but even if Alaira was fighting a doppelganger, it could still be a threat to her in particular. Psychomancers' magic could still be cast through doppelgangers, and he was not sure how much more Alaira could take. This entire fight was her fault, but as much as she deserved to be punished, Ssarak did not wish her to perish. Alaira might not be able to see the escaping psychomancer from her perspective, so he needed to chase down and, at the very least, distract the psychomancer. Unfortunately, Ssarak could not exactly swim in his armor, so he needed help. 

[i]"Darius, in the water! The psychomancer is escaping. He is still a threat to Alaira."[/i] Ssarak said telepathically, knowing that the Human could end his fight at any moment. Provided Darius was capable of swimming, he could get to the robed man; Ssarak just needed to slow him down. Getting a running start, Ssarak took off and flew just over the water after the psychomancer. Since he did not know how much effort it would take to break the man's wards, Ssarak focused on bolstering his own wards while giving chase. He was quick to catch up, then swoop down right over the robed man, swinging his hammer beneath him. He did not intend to kill, but it might be necessary to protect Alaira. As well, he readied himself to quickly pull up, if needed.
