--- Lily ---
As the man got close enough to disable, a bomb of light went off removing Lily's shadows from play completely. Lily hissed, unable to see because there'd been no sound, no warning. There was just suddenly light. The man had to have triggered it, and clearly someone had planned for their intervention. Hedera wasn't much better, she blinked the light out of her eyes as quickly as possible.
The twang of a bow went off and Hedera stepped to the side, unable to see the attack coming but her hearing was enough that it barely grazed her armour. Lily meanwhile was still stunned, her eyes quite sensitive to light and the feedback from having her shadows thoroughly shredded were keeping her locked in place. Luckily for her that involved clinging to Hedera's shoulder so she wasn't just a sitting duck for the moment.
