Iris patiently awaited the moment in which Ghost descended from the shadows upon the Geomancer, which prompted Lyra to jump at the dog-kin, and as a result leave her master plenty unprotected. A bodyguard could only do so much when her charge was a stationary target who kept getting assaulted from multiple angles.
Iris knew very well that it was the golden time time to strike, thus she ruthlessly threw herself at the endlessly bitching Soren and cut his head off.
Yep, Soren was killed just like that.
Was it unceremonious? A boring end for a talented, strong mage? Did he deserve a more badass battle before he fell?
Yes, very much so.
However, Iris was roided out of her mind right now, making the weak spine of a Wizard easily snap under the overwhelming weight of her strike.
Following her owner's death, Lyra immediately face-planted into the ground.
