Roleplay

Delyth mirrored his movements, watching carefully. Suddenly, behind the ridgeback, she saw the blue-maned imperial from earlier rear up and stretch out her wings. She let out a deep growl, causing the wild jerking head of the ridgeback to snap around to look at the imperial. Delyth's eyes flicked between the two dragons, trying to judge the situation. When a screeching wildclaw rushed the ridgeback. [i]Was that the same-[/i] [b]"FOR THE GLADEKEEPER. BRUGH!!"[/b] Ragworts used her wings to give herself lift at the last second and latched onto the back of the ridgeback. The larger dragon was caught unawares and screeched as claws dug into flesh. Delyth’s tail twitched in irritation. The little wildclaw wouldn’t last long in melee combat with the bulky ridgeback. She had to engage [i]now[/i]. Silently she cursed her lack of magical talent. Delyth rushed toward the entangled pair. The ridgeback was reaching around with his neck, and she grabbed it with her forelimbs, putting her entire weight into the attack. They were both dragged to the ground, with the wildclaw still clinging on. Delyth brought her wings close to her sides and her head down to protect her neck as the ridgeback began to claw at her. She gripped his neck tighter, trying to block off his air supply. She let out an involuntary growl as he clawed into her face.

Nightdance laughed at loud when the wildclaw charged the ridgeback attacking them. Now both of her allies were piled on their assailant.

She stole a glance at their surroundings. Dragons screaming and running, some growling and fighting back. This could only get worse the longer they stayed at the fairgrounds, they had to take care of this possessed ridgeback and run.

Nightdance ran over to the fight, trying to see what the best angle would be for her to incapacitate - or kill - the ridgeback. He seemed to be a little overwhelmed. Nightdance stood near the ridgeback's head and reached out with her long neck, opening her maw wide. A burst of foggy shadow magic jetted out from her throat at the last second, and then Nightdance and attempted a bite at the ridgeback at the base of his neck - hard.

It wasn't a bite intended to kill - Nightdance simply wasn't the type in this situation - but not one weakened by hesitation, either. The shadowy magic would just slow his reflexes a bit if the ridgeback kept on fighting this vigorously.

[b]"Just keep close, and stay out of trouble!"[/b] she then said before bounding over to the group who had managed to pin down the ridgeback. [i]"...don't kill him."[/i] was what she heard as she got to the group, the mention of death gave Sci chills and shook her head in disagreement [b]"Why don't you question him?"[/b] Rana suddenly interrupted, looking down at the ridgeback with curious eyes.

She felt the wildclaw [i]jump[/i] onto her back, but she didn't have time to wonder [i]what the hell[/i] they were doing. She was concentrating on not having her throat ripped out. At least she was out of the ridgeback's reach. Suddenly she felt magic in the air and looked over to see the imperial shooting at the ridgeback. They followed up by biting the ridgeback's neck. Hard. Maybe a little [i]too[/i] hard. [b]"Wait! May...maybe we should just keep him down. Don't...don't kill him."[/b] Delyth did nothing more than grunt an affirmative as she struggled with the enemy. Despite his injuries, his movements seemed to be becoming even more frantic and violent. He seemed almost rabid. [b]"Why don't you question him?"[/b] Delyth heard near her. [i]Too close.[/i] She looked up to see the skydancer from before and an unfamiliar nocturne. [b]"Get back!"[/b] She hissed. [b]"Amateurs!"[/b] The ridgeback dug deep into the leathers on her neck with a hindclaw and she shrieked. Angrily, she bit deeply into the offending limb, pulling out a chunk of flesh. [b]"Help or GET OUT OF THE WAY!"[/b]

Nightdance briefly looked at the ridgeback coldly before rearing up and holding him down with the palms of her claws. She tried to stay on top of him, using her weight to pin him down, but avoiding the ridgeback's sharp spines were tricky. He was like a wriggly, slippery fish.

"Not to worry, he's still - bluh - alive and kickin'!" she said to the worried wildclaw next to her.

Then she noticed that another dragon had joined the group, a nocturne. "In this state, though, I don't think he'll really - " Nightdance twisted away from one of those sharp spines. " - comply. Not unless we counter that coatl's magic with our own or something!"

Nightdance involuntarily growled as the ridgeback tore into her guardian ally with a vengeance. She
tried her best to hold her end of the dragon so that the guardian could do something.

Pisces could feel the stillness in the air as the deity's voice echoed through the crowd [b]"You four." [/b] Pisces looked around her as those words were said, was this really happening? was the great Earthshaker really placing this burden onto their shoulders? The skydancer looked to Rana who didn't seem fazed by the Earthshaker's decision, as she was not included in the count, and shook her head [b]"Can we really do this?"[/b] she asked the group when the Earthshaker had ended his speech [b]"We're only four dragons, and I've barely come of age!"[/b] her voice cracking with a mix of worry and fear. [/size] [/center]

He was...frozen? She released his neck, and looked up at the Earthshaker. Delyth inclined her neck respectfully. [b] "Earthshaker...are you sure...I mean..." [/b]She looked around at her companions.[b] "Why only four? What are four of us going to do when we are having difficulty with a single dragon?"[/b]

@Ragworts @Yukiira @Solztize @remaai

Nightdance felt her maw turn up in a draconic smile as the oh so mighty lord Earthshaker appeared before them. Not that she didn't respect him... it was just that Nightdance don't bow down to nobody.

He had come to quell the fighting, good. As the Earthshaker himself began to speak to the group, Nightdance became more and more excited. This promised to be a great adventure, one she would tell to her hatchling's hatchling's hatchling's. That is, if they didn't all die and gruesome and bloody death. And if she found a mate who would appreciate a dragon who was as strange as her.

By "siblings", Nightdance assumed that the Earthshaker meant the other deities who lorded over different elements. Even the youngest hatchlings knew the legends about the creation of Sornieth.

"This is going to be awesome!" she said determinedly. "Four dragons, destinies entwined... fated to either save the world or die trying. It's so... storybook! You got it, Earthdad!"

Their opponent must be someone with more power than what met the eye, if the Earthshaker was warning them to be careful.
