Keith winces as she crashes into the tree. He's gonna pray she didn't come in direct contact with any infected bark or sap, though his attention doesn't linger on her for long. The shade rears up, dragging its injured hind leg. The stab wound Sylvia gave it is enough to slow the shade down so that Keith's able to react, despite his split focus.
But not quite as fast as he needed to. He jabs the sword up, aiming for the bear's throat. The blade connects, but while the injury might be a fatal one, it doesn't kill instantly like he needed it to. The shade takes a heavy swipe at Keith, knocking him clean off his feet before teetering unsteadily with a sword impaled through its neck.
There's an audible snap, followed by a pained shout as Keith bashes his arm agaimst a tree branch before hitting the ground. ]
