With the beast jumping towards him, in tandem with the kicking that Zelda was doing, Zant released the blonde girl, slashing through the air with his unarmed hand. Link, as though repelled by the gesture, flew backwards, hitting the wall of the chamber hard and slumping to the ground. With a grunt, the wolf twitched, making the effort to try and rise again quickly.

"Foolish Midna... My Midna... as though you ever had any say in the matter..." and then there was a grin. A sickening, stomach-churning grin that revealed his sharp teeth as he wound backwards with his scimitar, laughing madly as he swung the blade down, aiming straight for Zelda's neck.
