I. HELPING HAND - within the city
It happened too fast, even for Cedar. The sound of a cannonball, a scream, and a chunk of the building next to her splintered into pieces. Gideon skid to a stop, hooves on cobblestone as he whipped around, knowing instinctively what Cedar would want as he informed her I sense people in there.
Shifting debris was a tricky affair. The structure could collapse at any moment, and while she would weather it fine, those trapped inside would likely not. As if to punctuate this thought, a beam groaned and began to crack apart. Gideon, hooves planted on the porch, raised his head and held it in place with his head and horns.
As another body rushed by on the street, Cedar reached out and snagged their arm. "Help me with this, will you? There's others trapped in there." Releasing them to decide for themselves, she mounted the steps to head into the building just now catching flame.
The docks around her were in organized chaos by the time she reached them, but her position on Gideon's back lent her a good view of the fight in the distance. While some ships cracked, burned, sank, others were still riding high in the surf. Not the best situation, and here she was, sans-boat.
Still, there were other ways to get across the water. The harbor was littered with debris, a pathway straight to the heart of the fight. And Gideon was fast enough, good enough to get across this delicate bridge, straight to the enemy. They just had to keep moving.
"What do you think?" Cedar looked to her compatriot who had come to stand next to her mount. She offered a gauntlet to pull them up behind her. "Want to take the fight to them?"
