The explanations were quite informative from the young boy, Ecthel. He had been quick and to the point, which the man appreciated. Once concluded man and cat-beast had quickly made their way to the southern portion of the kingdom. They were soon joined once more by Ecthel as they came upon the scene. Altercations had already begun with the other investigators fighting not only Hisana but also the odd man Keith. Kazudain could only suppress a sigh, he had a feeling about the two, the woman more that Keith. He was quick to lay out a plan when the boy asked what they should do. [color=7ea7d8]"Though our opponents are here now, we can always fight them another day under better circumstances. Our target is here now, the longer this goes on the lower our chances are of getting him away."[/color] He gave Maldur a look with a light petting before turning to Ecthel. The boy would see the cat-beast bound off. [color=7ea7d8]"Maldur will create a distraction that'll create an opening, we use that to get Juan now without further delay. Come."[/color] Without further words Kazudain soon sprinted towards the carriage. At the same time Maldur, his form wreathed in blue sparks, channeled its power before letting out a near ear-splitting roar and slammed his paw to the ground. The road soon shook before great spears of ice burst from the ground. Some would shoot straight into the air while the rest tried to stab Hisana and Keith. The spears formed a wall of ice, blocking them from the investigators and more importantly, the carriage housing Juan de la Cruz. Tibrus all the while had noticed the drain on his mana reserves had lessened quite a bit, almost as if the keystone on the other side had stopped. He wondered if there was a malfunction before he saw a hooded man, along with a boy and a large blue tiger enter the scene. He didn't hear the words spoken but he saw the tiger split off as the man and boy sprinted to the carriage. His brows jumped in surprise as the tiger summoned large spears of ice to create a wall between his group of investigators and the man and woman fighting them. He didn't know how long the wall would last but this was an opening they couldn't let slip by. [color=a2d39c]"THIS IS YOUR CHANCE! GET TO HIM NOW!"[/color] His throat might be a bit sore after this but Tibrus felt it would be worth it in the end.
