[font=trebuchet ms]For all its thrashing, Serpent could not save its eyes from the razor-sharp edges tearing into them.
As Mistrim finally released her grip, it let out a low wheeze and tried to lash out- but its literally-blind flailing didn't seem to hit anything. She must have been too far away. Every movement sent flares of agony shooting through its body, until it eventually ceased its writhing just to make the pain stop.
Reaching out along the mental connection, it struggled to locate the Ferryman. If it could just get some confirmation that this mission would succeed...
It could see nothing, but it could taste the scent of death growing closer, feel the Ferryman's renewed confidence. He must have heard its cries. Within the next few minutes, he would be arriving to exact justice. If nothing else, Serpent had done its job. It would not die a failure.
A hacking cough escaped its maw, and it curled in on itself.

Detecting Nemhain's aura, the Ferryman smirked underneath his cover. The way her eyes were cast down towards Megalodon, he suspected she was about to try and strike the reaper- but if he held out for just a few more moments, he could make the jump to the dock. What happened to Megalodon afterwards didn't matter, so long as the mission was a success.
He tensed up, she swooped down- and a loud roar split the air behind him, startling him into jumping off of Megalodon's back earlier than he'd planned to. Slamming roughly against the side of the dock, he hauled himself up onto the wooden planks and started running down the street where Serpent had been yelling from. Feeling a twinge in his tail, he spared a glance over his shoulder for long enough to notice blood dripping from what was apparently thin air.
With a grumble, he let himself become visible again; his intangibility must have stopped working, if Valerian had managed to catch a piece of his tail. Turning his head forward once more, he ignored Serpent's fallen form, and the young vixen beside it- there, he saw the target flying closer.
Warringkingdoms would pay for what she had done.
Releasing a howl of rage, the Ferryman charged directly towards her, lunging and aiming to sink his teeth into her throat. It was too late for playing games. He was going for the kill.

Megalodon had just been following orders, see.
It wasn't entirely sure what was going on up on the surface, but if the Ferryman told it what to do, it would do it. It was a loyal reaper, after all, and not really created for the purpose of questioning orders. Whether or not these Elysites deserved to die, or even whether or not Warringkingdoms deserved to die, didn't really matter.
That said, it most certainly was not here to get ripped up by two different sets of talons and claws while its master ran off.
With a bellow, Megalodon arched its back, snapped its teeth and thrashed its fins- both to try and get free, and to dissuade its attackers from attacking again. If it could just get out of these creatures' grasps-
Feeling the sweet embrace of gravity tugging it down towards the water, out of the fenghuang's grip, it immediately dove into the sea. The salty water stung at its deep wounds, but it couldn't care less about the pain now that it was free. Shaking its head, it swam out into deeper waters, not going any closer to the surface. The way Megalodon figured, the Ferryman was now back on land; he most likely would not be returning to sea alive, so there was nothing else Megalodon could do here. Attacking the sand cat or the dragon hybrid could be helpful, but Megalodon wasn't exactly raring to get itself skewered again by the tag team of the hybrid and the fenghuang.
The others would think Megalodon a traitor, but at least it would remain alive.
