[ The man's confidence wasn't bluster - Kahlil watches the arrow strike the largest creature and eerie quiet of the wood is all at once lit up with sound.
He's already moving as one of the smaller Ceknias charges him, opening a tear and slipping inside. In the grey world it thunders soundless and harmlessly through him, he shrugs off the ill feeling of their atoms briefly sharing the same space. His eyes are fixed on the largest beast, its murderous shrieks still ringing in his ears in the silence of the Gray Space. The forest blurs, only the puppet-like figures of the hunter and his prey hold much form as he moves toward them.
The hunter holds his ground.
The second arrow lets loose at the same moment Kahlil bursts back out into the real world from just behind the Ceknias, appearing as if from out of a tear in reality that immediately closes up behind him. His spear pierces its shoulder with all of his weight behind it, and the sound that escapes its throat is a nightmare-ish fusion of human and beast.
As it falls, he catches sight of a flash of blue over Claude's shoulder - ]
