Valaren took a step towards the two ladies and Ezra gave the ethereal chains a tug in his mind. "Stop!" He commanded.
Valaren froze, straining to keep going. Rage joined bloodlust and filled the dragon who took slow steps forward.
"Shit!" Ezra cursed. "Fucking stop." He gritted his teeth as he kept tugging on the control chains.
He could feel the control he had over the dragon slipping. He had loosened the chains during the fight and now, he was paying the price.
"Ezra?" Gen asked. "What's going on?"
"L-losing control." He answered through gritted teeth as the ethereal chains slowly tightened against the dragon.
Valaren gave a low growl as it kept stepping forward slowly.
"Use your Aura!" Gen scrambled back, dragging Olivia with her.
"I don't have enough vitality!" After all the fighting and regenerating, his vitality was completely spent.
"Use your reserve blood!" Gen screamed.
