[font=trebuchet ms]Serpent's cry was met with no response. Had all of the other reapers been compromised? There had been three others, plus the Ferryman; surely they couldn't all have been neutralized. If no one would hear it and attack Warringkingdoms, then what was the point-
Claws sliced into its tail, yanking it backwards. Dizzy from blood loss, it uttered a low hiss, followed by a significantly higher-pitched hiss as claws dug into its face. Thrashing around, it struggled to wriggle out from under Mistrim, snapping its jaws at anything it could reach. Its odds of survival were minimal at this point, so it ought to cause as much carnage as possible before expiring.

"The target is this way! She has the bird!"
The Ferryman snapped to attention as the words hit his ears, his gaze flickering towards the street where he'd sent Serpent. The fenghuang was out? If that was true, then-
He didn't have long to think it over before the screams echoed in his ears, even louder than he'd projected them originally. The sound of screaming itself didn't bother him, but it drew his attention back towards his attackers- one of whom was perfectly content to stand there, smiling.
Feeling claws sink into his back, the Ferryman growled lowly, but before he could retaliate, he spotted the fenghuang approaching the boat. As the shards of ice blasted towards him, he jumped back- a couple shards managing to pierce deeply into his left foreleg, but the others missing his chest and other foreleg. He didn't have time to strike back before she was gone again, leaving him with the other two.
He couldn't make Megalodon attack the boat without risking his own life, Phoenix wasn't responding to his commands, and Barghest was still as confused as a puppy chasing its own tail. His best chance was to get out of there and locate the target, then destroy her himself.
Becoming intangible and invisible once more to get himself free of Tena's grip, he then directed Megalodon, Swim out from under the boat, take me to the dock. Seeing Megalodon emerge from the water, he descended onto its back and braced himself as it swam towards the dock. So long as he remained invisible, Tena and Valerian would likely be no problem- the fenghuang might still pose an issue, but if Warringkingdoms arrived at the dock soon enough it wouldn't matter.
Gazing at the land's edge, he searched intently for any auras that might denote the fenghuang's position. If he could spot her before she attacked again, he could probably dodge and incur minimal damage to himself- Megalodon might not be so lucky, but it existed solely to serve him. If it died protecting him, that was not a tragedy.
