Taking Isago's first strike on one of the front guards as a cue to begin attacking, Kai rolled over to the right, grabbing the edge of the carriage's roof before he slid right off. He took the guard on the right by surprise, intercepting him and pushing him off of his horse with his feet. The teenager then let go of the edge he was hanging from, landing expertly on the ground. He drew his cutlass immediately after, preparing himself for the imminent sword fight. The guard, who had recovered from the earlier tackle, charged at Kai with his own sword.

Their blades clashed, and although Kai had expected such a level of expertise from a trained guard, the battle was keeping him on his toes. He was concerned about how the two men were doing at the front of the caravan, and thought that it would be best for him to bring the fight nearer to them as he slowly inched his way around the corner. It would be easier to have one another's backs that way. He also wondered about the guard on the left side. Where was he and what was he doing amidst all this chaos?
