MoMo says:
As Frick falls, Ygne freezes and her eyes widen. Her stomach lurches and her heart squeezes into her throat before she lets out a horrified shriek. The thief drops her crossbow upon the ground and rips a dagger from its sheath as she lunges for Frick. Her free hand digs into the neck of Frick's chain shirt, and she jabs her dagger toward the ancestors that assail them. "Stay back!" She screams, "Stay the fuck back!" She pulls him back a few feet, grunting from the effort. It dawns on her, with the griffon ahead and death lagging just at her heels, that she simply cannot drag her friend fast enough.
She pulls Frick in close, tucking an arm underneath his and wrapping it over his chest as she backs up. She grits her teeth as the tears begin to blur her vision. With one final heft she pulls Frick over the edge of the cliffside and, clutching to him for dear life, plummets down toward the rapids.
Holy shit. Inspiration granted.
