It was a delayed effect, Slow enough to leave John and the rest to her devices, Even empowered as they were, song had its limits, Each found themselves entangled, disarmed and held high into the air, John was fondest toy, brought in intimately close for a rendezvous, Andulan caressed him lovingly, ******* in knots as he was, he couldn't resist, As she bit into his unblemished neck. Kevin dropped in, riding ****** adrenaline that gave him measure, Intoxicated by cortisol that nullified his immediate pain, He and Paul shrugged off numerous gashes to the arms, legs and chest, Each was stabbed in a near fatal area near their hearts, But it didn't stop Kevin from cutting him free from Andulan's grasp, Nor did it prevent Paul from pressing his trident up to her throat, To bring her down breathless and weakened.
