Mysha had Ma'ait fly toward the beast, her friend opening her jaws to try and distract it with flames. The creature simply moved its large head to the side, reading up just long enough to swipe a huge paw. The two females would've been smacked out of the air if Ma'ait had been a hair slower. As they circled around, avoiding any projectiles from the humans, the monster opened its jaws, sending flames toward Larkes, Drake and their dragons.
Xandrite didn't really want to go home, but still nodded. "I guess. Come on." She flapped her wings to get up in the air and head home, making sure her brother was following before making the small trip.

Drake and Shard managed to avoid the flames by falling downwards then swooping towards the beast's back, looking for any weak spots. Drake tried spewing black flames at its back while Shard flew the two of them by, just trying anything.
Pyre spread his wings quickly and flapped a few times before taking off and flying after his sister. He wasn't the strongest flier, but he was getting better.

Ma'ait had taken some sort of metallic form before flying toward the creature's back. She had intended to land on it,the metal known to withstand lots of heat, but when she did the metal immediately began melting and bubbling. Mysha could feel the heat, hissing in discomfort before grunting in surprise as Ma'ait moved to throw her off. As she fell, she jammed her spear into the thing's wing so she didn't fall the entire way. As the monster moved, wings moving closer to the ground, she allowed herself to fall the rest of the way, armor helping dull the impact a bit. Scrambling away from the large feet, she backed up as humans started advancing. Ma'ait was trying to pry herself off, by she'd basically turned herself into a figurine glued to a surface. She blinked her drooping eyelids as the monster reached around to grab her, and simply threw her at Shard and Drake like some molten, heated cannonball.
Xandrite flew beside Pyre to make sure he was okay. "We'll be able to do what we want one day." When they were bigger." We can show everyone that we don't need others protecting us!" Her emerald eyes looked over at Pyre mischeviously. "And maybe, when we're big and strong, we will have our own families to protect. Mama always says that you and Scaws will be the best-looking males once you're bigger, and that you'll have your pick of all the females." The idea of being parents was so weird though, and she made a face, sticking her tongue out and scrounging up her snout. "Papa always says that Magna and I can't have mates until he's dead, plus a few days to make sure he's dead." That of course was just the fatherly protecting kicking in though, according to Ma'ait.

Shard watched as his mate flew towards him and he screeched, being hit by the heavy metal dragon before his tired wings could make him fly to safety, and the three of them headed towards the ground.
Pyre nodded and laughed a little. "Yeah, Papa said that Scaws and I are supposed to chase away any males that come near you two when we get older." he said with a laugh. "But I bet that won't happen." He said as he led the way back into the fort.

M'ait hit the ground with a thud, unable to move much. She was suddenly covered by flames, curling into a ball as the beast tried to literally melt her. Mysha was busy trying not to get caught by the humans running around, having already killed a few. She had thrown her spear at the beast though, and it lodged in a joint. No blood though, not deep enough.
Xandrite shook her head. "I dunno. I'm not special or anything. If anything, I'm a freak cause of what's been happening to me!" If she had ears, they'd be drooping. "I'm probably going to end up alone."

Shard snarled as the beast attacked his beloved mate and he deflected the flames with his own, growling loudly. He stood over Ma’ait, giving her time to recover.
While the two dragon’s fought, Drake was also trying to fight, creating fireballs and whacking then with his sword and sending them careening towards the beast. “This isn’t working!” Drake shouted over the noise.

Ma'ait was trying to recover, but her semi-molten form kind of just twitched and flopped a little as she tried to crawl. She could barely see as the beast finally stopped the flames, reaching to go for Mysha's spear lodged in its hip joint, trying to dig into the crack. There was bright orange blood on the spear, but the whole thing was burned away by its touch.
Mysha noticed the blood, looking around. "We need something that's hard to burn or melt." All there was was wood and grass at the moment, and their weapons obviously wouldn't do. She looked around with a distressed expression. "Or maybe just something that can allow us to get a quick stab and we can flee."

Shard hissed at the beast and continued to buy Ma’ait time to recuperate. He heard Mysha’s words and he looked around, warbling softly with nervousness. There was absolutely nothing!
Drake looked around quickly and grunted. “There’s nothing around!” He said. “What about bedrock? This place has only a thin layer of dirt and stuff above the bedrock, we should be able to get some stone if we dig.”

Ma'ait barely heard the conversation through the buzzing in her head, but she started to switch materials. Metal became clear, and you could see her muscles and other organs twitching as she took up the form of diamond hide. She didn't dare try to go near the beast though, because its touch obviously did something to dragons, whether they were scales or metal. She actually started digging, using the hard material to easily turn up the dirt and look for bedrock. As she worked, the large dragon turned toward them again, jaws opening to spew more flames.

Shard snarled and flung black flames at the beast’s mouth. “Dot even try it!” He snarled, getting ready to counteract the beast’s flames as well.

The beast narrowed its eyes. Instead of fire, the cracks in its armor opened up, molten lava beginning to seep out like some sort of runny sap. Even the humans on its side cleared away to avoid it. Ma'ait started digging faster, dirt flying everywhere. She soon reached what Drake had mentioned, looking down at the bedrock. Instead of digging some up, she instead touched her paws to it, waiting for her power to register the material. She kept glancing toward the beast though, making sure the lava didn't get too close. "Don't let it touch you," she called to Shard. "Just clear out. I'll be fine."

SHard hissed at the thought of abandoning his beloved mate. “Not a chance!” He replied. He took off into the air and tried to blast the lava with wind from his flapping wings, knowing cooled lava hardened to rock.

Ma'ait started changing materials, just as the beast reared up into its hindlegs, swinging its tail to send a glob of lava Shard's way. Ma'ait then looked over as more humans showed up, trying to get at her and Shard's riders. They looked to be handling themselves though. Everyone seemed to falter for a moment as a voice slithered out. Fools. You're making a mistake angering me.

Shard easily dodged to the side, still defending Ma’ait and trying to distract the beast. However at the voice he snarled but continued to defend her, not caring about who was saying what.
Drake continued to fight, sending fire and striking his sword against the enemy as their dragon’s also fought. He turned to face the voice as he clocked one guy with his sword. “Who’s there?!”

Mysha was at this point fighting with a stolen sword, looking over as Drake spoke. "I think it's the dragon," she called, looking toward it as the beast turned toward her. Such a smart human. Too bad you and your people will all burn soon. It then looked as Ma'ait moved, having taken up the form of bedrock and moving toward it. She would try to get close, but was driven back by flames, which spewed forth like strong winds.

“Like hell we will!” Drake snarled, now furious at the beast for threatening his wife. He sent a few fireballs at the beast’s chest.
Shard had moved to be above the beast during its brief lapse in attention on him and he spewed black flames onto the beast’s head, right into its eyes. If black flames and blood created the chains, maybe just black flames could blind the creature, if only temporarily.

The beast grunted as the fire spewed across its eyes. It didn't seem to do anything besides annoy it though. You won't get anywhere with that, fool. That was when Ma'ait dug her claws into the hip joint, trying to wedge her entire paw into it. Orange blood spilled out, and Ma'ait made sure she was touching it. The beast grabbed her again though, a huge paw wrapping around her and squeezing so hard you could hear a crack. You stole someone from me, but no matter. She will return to me soon. Ma'ait didn't try moving. She was more focused on just registering the substance to replicate it. Her stone face was showing signs of distress though.

"That won't happen!" Shard snarled, diving down towards the beast and breathing hotter flames onto it before trying to get his mate loose. "You'll be okay, Ma'ait! Hold on!" He whispered.
"Let go of that dragon!" Drake said, flames bursting up around him and he made slashes in the air, sending blades of black flame at its arms.

The beast hissed at the flames, dropping Ma'ait and swinging at Shard and Drake. Mysha fought her way to her husband, telling him "Shard needs to grab Ma'ait and go. I don't think she can make it back on her own." The two of them would have to find their own way back. As she tried to think, she noticed the crazy guy from earlier show up nearby, snickering happily as he watched the fighting before switching shapes. Into a huge horse. Come! You two can't die today! The dogs said so.

Drake nodded as he met his wife and they fought together. "Shard-!" He didn't have to finish, the male dragon already diving and managing to grab his mate and lifting her into the air and fly away. He then looked over as the crazy guy came and his eyes widened as he literally changed forms. "What the-?" But he didn't question it, running towards the beast, towing his wife along.

Mysha followed after Drake and over to the russet horse. She then turned just as the molten beast tried to slam a huge paw down on them. A shield had formed above the three though, and the monster withdrew its paw with an annoyed screech, its paw smoking slightly. The horse snickered. My only good trick. Once the two were on, he turned and started running, carrying them away as the beast growled. You have made a mistake today. Mysha didn't bother responding, just looking ahead as they all fled to safety.

Drake growled softly as he heard the creature's words to them about their mistake. He too know that it was true, but didn't say so. He held his wife close, rubbing her sides gently.

Mysha looked back at Drake with a soft smile once they were a safe distance away. She just wanted to make sure Ma'ait was okay though. When they reached their home, the horse stopped a ways from the wall. Thie is as far as I go.
