Savannah's flames defended me from the wyverns on the right. Ethan's telekinesis, and daggers kept enemies away on the right. My spatial anomaly kept them from attacking my back. The way I was fighting made it appear as if the only way they could attack was to come at me head on. I roared challenge as my last opponent tried to right himself while bleeding as he fell.
The wyverns stayed back. None of them wanted to come at me head on because of what happened to the others. I let the black dot explode. Killing three more wyverns with the resulting distortion before blinking myself away from the middle of the group to the outer edges. The wyverns looked around with alarm as a tore into another one.
Slicing through his wing as I got good purchase with my hands around the muscle. Holding it in place for the split second I needed to bite into the remaining flesh, and bone. Ripping the entire wing off the small wyvern as he screamed. Letting him fall to his death as another wyvern collided with me from the right. This one had completely ignored Savannah's flames to get to me as quickly as possible.
His long talons dug into the flesh of my side. Drawing the first sign of pain from me in the form of a startled cry as the unstable space around me shifted in response to my rage. Distorting the space around my attacker in a way that shredded through his body in multiple places. Nearly ripping his wing, and tail off as blood poured from large slash like wounds all over his body. I wasn't wounded too badly yet.
I was running low on mana, and I knew that I lacked the strength to take out the entire group when I took them on in the first place. I'd lost count of how many I killed in my rush to both survive, and kill as many as possible. I'd taken out about a quarter of the group. That was enough for now. I used my remaining mana to teleport away.
Arriving about the front lines in a split second as I slowly lilted down to the ground. It was obvious that I was wounded. I hadn't managed to escape scot free like I wanted but that didn't bother me too much. My landing was a bit rough, but I'd managed to land in an empty space. The frozen ground didn't give much, but my legs didn't give at all as they tore through the unforgiving ground.
I snarled slightly in irritation as I righted myself quickly. Settling myself with a quick shake of my scales. I inhaled slowly as I gathered myself. Laying down with a huff to let Savannah, and Ethan off my back. My muscular wings trembled slightly as the adrenaline pounded its way through my system.
Sure I could still my body, but that didn't stop my heart from pounding. I used my breathing to calm my heart rate down.
"You need to find some way to inform us when your headed back," Raul shouted as he flagged us down, "I don't want any of my men striking you when you show up."
"How about a huge banner on my chest with the word ally on it?" I snorted.
Raul obviously heard the sarcasm in my voice, and looked at me with a bit of irritation, but he was smart enough not to say anything.
"Unless it's made out of magical steel alloy it'll break the moment he gets into a fight," Savannah patted Raul on the shoulder as she walked by, "I don't think it's worth it when a picture, and some strict orders will be just as effective."
"There aren't any wyverns with six limbs so I should be fairly obvious with minimal observation," I'd leaned my head down his direction.
Cutting the distance between us in half with the simple gesture. Raul didn't realize I'd come close until I spoke so his startled fear was comical. Drawing an amused smile to my face. The toothless grin was enough to scare him even further as he backed off. My muscles trembled as I held back my laughter.
I looked up, and scanned the skyline quickly before allowing my eyes to be drawn back to Raul. He'd managed to compose himself for the most part by the time I looked at him again. I yawned as I curled my tail around me tightly. Between the damage I'd taken, the hours of flight, and the lack of mana I was worn out. It was time for me to sleep.
Ethan doubled back instead of going with Savannah because he sensed how worn out I was, and refused to leave me alone while I was asleep. I was more then a little worn out. I flopped down, and lowered my wings so I could curl my head up in one. My wings were perfect for blocking out the light. My muscles coiled tightly for a second before relaxing completely.
It didn't take long for sleep to take me. I went to my inner world, and choose to ignore Regala while I practiced the exercises I'd been having trouble getting to since I came here. It was hard for me to get to most the stuff I needed to get to when I was as tense as I was. It made me angry. I was taking all that anger out on the wyverns.
That was what was keeping me calm at the moment. The fact that Eric could turn of me at any given time bothered me. The guild wasn't under direct danger yet. If that happened there was a good chance Eric would send me into the battle, and not allow me to return alive. I wasn't here to die for Eric.
He was in for a rude awakening when he tried to force me into a battle I couldn't win. I wasn't going to warn him about it either. He wasn't my responsibility. The guild was his problem. Raul seemed to know that.
