The eye was firmer than Nefere had expected and made a strange cracking sound as her weapon penetrated the large socket, like breaking a thin sheet of crystallised sugar. The assault was answered with another thrash of the Sand Lion's head and Nefere had only just managed to role out of the way in time, the vortex of sand stilled for a moment as the creature reassessed, finding nothing to go for. Nefere wasted not time in springing from the sinkhole and clawed her way to the surface while Eddrick did his best to distract and pin the crazed beast. It wasn't until she was back on the flat bed of sand that she realised her foot had been clipped by one of the strange, hard teeth. The blood caused her pause, assessing her own damage, nothing broken or detached, she felt happy to go on and fixed the same bolt to her weapon while Eddrick pried shell from flesh, exposing the second eye.
Nefere dived onto her side and steadied her aim quickly before pulling the trigger of her crossbow to release the bolt, close enough that she managed to strike the second eye on its outer edge which kept the creature from blinking or moving the glassy orb about to look at them. Unsatisfied with this result, the huntress let herself fall into the hollowed out death pit once more only to slam her heel against the creatures eye, knowing there was little it could do with Eddrick keeping it pinned. Any extra movement would only serve the humans and it seemed the Sand Lion had realised this. Perhaps the poison of her bolt hadn't been able to penetrate the hard shell, but stabbed into the soft filling of the animal's eye left not doubt that if it was to be effective, they would see results soon.
"Pull!" Nefere waved, whatever the desert wandered had up his sleeve, he would not get a better change to end things than he had right now.
