Jamie's wound healed, leaving no evidence he had been harmed save the blood staining his fur and he leapt into the sky after Ikerth.
Claws clashed, with scales and flesh being ripped out and crimson blood spraying down onto the earth below.
Ikerth's spiked tail snapped forward like a snake, hitting Jamie in the side and knocking him down to the ground where he bashed through a small mountain.
The dragon quickly gathered his magic power, swirling and condensing it in preparation to fire a lava breath.
"?!"
Suddenly, he sensed danger from his side but before he could even cancel his breath or turn his head, massive wolf jaws appeared beside him and clamped down on his neck with force.
"GRRAAOOORR!!!"
The dragon roared in pain as the wolf's razor-sharp teeth pierced his scales and dug holes in his neck. Following up, a torrent of purple flames blasted from the wolf's mouth, burning off even more scales and rending his flesh.
