PAREESA
Pareesa gaped as the sky canoe coughed like a sick animal, and then it leaned towards one side like a stumbling drunkard. The sky canoe wobbled. She felt like a dog that had chased a ram, and then all of a sudden the ram turned around and decided to charge.
"Take cover!" she shouted, just as the enormous arm attached to the underside shot its lightning straight towards the square. The warriors scattered, avoiding both the big shot that leveled what little was left of the Chief's burned-out house, and also the smaller shots of the lizard-demons leaping over the shattered barricade.
She lowered her firestick, amazed she'd even gotten the thing to shoot, and saw Mikhail detach himself from the opposite side of the sky canoe.
