The gang heads back to Ulric’s forge and home

Outrage resounds from round back- Ulric is not alone

He is taking a stand- his foes making demands

The gang rounds the corner to see the Shifting Sand


“'You’ll get your weapons soon as Larv is in the ground'

So you said, then you slapped my boys around"


“Your boys are idiots- there were witnesses!

If I didn’t step in, how could I feign innocence?"

“So why not kill them all?” “Because I’m not like your lot

Petty crime is not the only thing I’ve got!”


The puzzle yet incomplete, but Ulric’s guilt now confessed

Grub says “What better time than now to make the arrest?”

Kat steps in, requests forfeit- of course they will not abide

These Sands are stronger now and Ulric’s on their side


Despite the splendid skills the girls display when they spar

When they combine forces, a force is what they are

Astrid pushes Kat hard to reach for the highest bar

When they combine forces, a force is what they are


Blasts of gravel pelt the men

Then strong winds blow and throw them prone

Waves of water drench their garb

Weighing them down like heavy stones

Focused fire forces their foes to follow foreknown footing

Kat condemns volt gems lest these guys be reduced to pudding

Grub cheers and jeers from the sidelines

Til a Shifting Sand lackey

Chases him to the lush green

But Kat knows he runs quickly


The Shifting Sand is chased away

Kat hopes they’ll change their ways someday

There’s no denying Ulric is tough

But his best efforts aren’t enough


Grub even bested his foe

By his account a disgrace

“As he chased I bent a branch

Then let it whip his big, dumb face!”
