Udara spurred her warhorse, chasing after Josiah and his fleeing guard squad.
One of the guardsmen, an archer, suddenly turned and loosed an arrow. It struck true, bringing down Udara's horse and sending both rider and beast tumbling to the ground.
Udara rolled and vaulted back to her feet with lithe grace, breaking into a run after the squad.
Fen surged past her, icy mana already building in his throat.

The wolf unleashed a crescent of frost, not aimed at any one horse but at the ground beneath their hooves.
The wave struck, freezing the earth. The mounts slid helplessly, toppling over in a crashing mess of hooves and armour—returning the favour on Udara's behalf with chilling interest.
"Go! After him!" Udara shouted to Fen, while she veered towards the guardsmen scrambling up after their tumble.
Bark!
