Shinju did indeed slam into Tranduil, his own mouth seeking the other's flesh even as Tranduil sought his own. His clawed hands searched for a purchase on the other kyn, to lock onto and keep hold of him.
In the process, the spear that Mararan had released lodged itself in his left upper shoulder. He hissed through his nose - a high grating noise that was akin to nails across a chalkboard in its eeriness. Blood dribbled down the pearl's hide, new mixing with the old, drying splatters on his hindquarters. He didn't have long to last with the blood he was losing.
Shinju made another, perhaps more desperate, move a few seconds after impact, flipping the long sinewy tail under and up in an arc almost in a mimic of a whip in its attempt to smack Tranduil and perhaps even Mararan if he wasn't stopped.
Paige was left staring in worry into the sky, waiting for a moment wherein Shinju and Tranduil for relatively still. She thought she saw her opportunity at impact of the two giant dragons, and released her hollow-shafted arrow towards Tranduil's upper body.

It was bad timing, for Tranduil to wriggle the way he had when Shinju let out his tail. Mara, who had been soundly smacked, 'umphed' and slid slowly..then quickly..off the back of her kyn. Barely realizing what had just happened, she fell quietly downward. Then she saw the ground coming nearer...and no one underneath to catch her. She yelped loudly, and Tranduil got a great sense of fear embedded into his head.
Doing the only thing she could think of, Mara wrapped herself into a ball...and held tight, too scared to even scream. Her stomach churned and lurched..
Dui roared in anger when Mara slipped off his back, stunned. Ripping his claws at Shinju, he tried desperately to get away and get his rider. But Shinju was keeping him busy. What could he do?! He spared a moment of his time to take a deep breath, and blew it hard towards where his rider was falling. It wasn't exactly much of a spell, being rushed and all, but if it managed to get underneath her in time, it would slow Mara's fall. At least a bit...

"Mararan!" Paige yelled in fera, helpless to do anything but watch her friend plummet to the ground. Her friend, and one of the only ones besides her dragon to be that. The only other human she'd met so far on this island.
The pearl kyn roared as the other Japanese raked his claws through his scales. With a twitching of his muscles, Shinju tried to shove the other away from him. His own claws were retracted, his action shoving Tranduil towards the ground if the other kyn let him go; telling him to save his bonded.
Shinju, once free of Dui, plummeted towards the ground. Blood trailed across the sky and splattered onto the snow as the large kyn twisted and turned, unable to regain his magical flight. He roared again, hissing and thrashing in his mid-air fall.
Paige was frozen in place, head tilted up towards Shinju, the muddled and frantic thoughts and emotions of her kyn paralyzing her even as his massive form headed straight towards her. The sun overhead was blocked by Shinju as he hurtled at his own pair bonded.
Paige's kyn prince gave a final, rapid twist of his body, a sharp crack resounding across the blood-soiled snow. He hit the ground, having moved just enough so that he came down around Paige instead of on top of her. A rumble issued from deep inside his chest, mouth partially agape.
Shinju's head rested on the ground, his slashed and broken body sprawled out behind him. His scales were dull even in the harsh sunlight.
Shaken, but mostly unharmed, Paige got up after moving Shinju's hand off of her. Her own hand rested on the knuckle of her first kyn, and she looked across the snow towards where Mararan should be.

Tranduil lurched downward, free from Shinju. He roared as he sped as he had never sped before, not caring if he smashed into the ground. He just had to get there. The gust of wind he had sent after his rider had fallen managed to get underneath her, but only slowed her down a little. The spell had been too sloppy. But it seemed to have been enough. Dui was mere inches from the ground when Mara fell onto his curled and twisted body...
The landing wasn't soft...but it wasn't the hard, cold ground. Mara's brain was rattled, and her world grew dark. She struggled to keep from fainting, but doubted she would win. A few of her kyns scales and spines scraped at her skin, but she was too out of it to notice. She coughed and felt something thickly and wet hit her cheek. Dammit...
Tranduil let himself fall the couple inches to the ground, sighing heavily. He wrapped his tail around Mara and lifted her now limp body up against his chest, protecting her from the cold as best he could. Dui started to pant, and closed his eyes, getting rid of the dizziness and confusion he felt from Mara's unconcious form. Slowly opening his eyes again, Dui slowly and gently raised his head, then his front legs...then a back one...and stood as best he could. He turned and stared at Paige, bowing his head towards his rider's human friend, in respect and even apology.

Paige stared on at Tranduil. Even if she could get over her own fear and continue to fight, there was nothing she could do against a full grown kyn. So she settled to simply falling to her butt, back to Shinju's bloodied hand. She stared, almost blankly, at the other bonded pair in front of her.
Shinju's eyes slipped closed, his breathing shallow and hitched. It would take a long time for him to recover, for Paige to recover. The fight was surely lost.
