Hanami knocked an arrow as soon as the first one left the bow string. She was prepared to fire again, but when Mizuki fell from the Ox with the rat on top of her, she hesitated to shoot. It was just too risky now, but what could she do? The Princess was in trouble!

"Hime-dono!" A look of alarm on her face as she rushed forward, but quickly stopped in her tracks as the Ox turned it's attention toward her. She took several quick steps backwards when the Ox stood up on it's hind legs before slamming down with it's hooves. What came next surprised her even more, evident by the look of confusion and fear as the chunks of ice jetted from the ground and raced for her. The Priestess fired off her arrow for the rat, and stumbled backwards in an attempt to escape the oncoming attack. She'd tripped over her own feet, but managed to leap out of the way. 

There was a medium-sized gash on her arm from where the tip of the ice had punctured her forearm and dragged as she moved out of the way, but it definitely looked worse than it felt. The blood dripped down her arm and out of the kimono sleeve, but she ignored it for the time being. Hanami nocked another arrow, this time infusing it with her spiritual energy, and fired it at the angry Ox.
