collides with Lycon

N'sumu had already reacted to Vonones' shout. A split second after the lizard ape leaped, midway between the ledge and its quarry, its hurtling form was caught up in a sudden glow of verdant light. Lycon had hoped for the eye-searing emerald fire that had shattered blue-scaled bodies in the loft. Instead, the hurtling lizard-ape seemed to stagger in midair- to lose control of its muscles-but its leap carried it full onto Lycon. Stunned or not, the lizard-ape struck Lycon and knocked him backwards-carrying the hunter from his precarious footing atop the collum. Lycon cushioned its impact the best he could-there was no room to duck, nor time to try. The lizard ape was heavier than he had expected- its flesh must all be of iron-hard muscle- and the force of its fall would have broken half his bones had Lycon not twisted aside, merging with the creature in midair, falling with it into the fountain.
