Setting the meat down she takes the vial of blood pouring it onto the ground. Turning she nods before running back toward Whipser and the boulder. Moving behind the boulder she carefully climbs up onto it from behind. Testing her balance she figure she could get at least two shots out, before she slipped.
By that time she knew she would be able to move and go in for the kill. Pulling an arrow out she readys herself and waits. Her breathing slowing as she watches for any sign of the hound as well as a dragon.

It took about an hour just as the sun was starting to set, for the hound's deep challenging bay could be heard over the open plain. Soon not more than ten minutes after it, came the vision of the hound in the distance, sprinting towards them hard and fast.
The Dragon was right on it's tail, and it was a biggun, a large black shadow above the hound.
As the hound past them it dove into the underbrush opposite them making a lot of noise.
The dragon landed, surveying the scene with it's bright glowing eyes, it's scales were a deep crimson, it's claws long and black, it's horns wicked and curved.
It was larger than Whisper's estimate, easily the size of a small house.
It sniffed the meat, nosing it before grunting and looking up.
"I can smell you... Dead one."
Whisper swore under her breath.

Morgana frowns trying to hold back the curse she wanted to say. She didn't expect the dragon to speak, nor sense Whisper for that matter. Remaining calm she press herself closer to the boulder watching the dragon. He was indeed alot bigger then she thought. Frowning she was second guessing her plan as she glances towards the area Whipser was at.
She knew she had to figure out something, she didn't want this dragon to go after Whipser. Glancing back towards the dragon she takes a deep breath, if it came down to it, she would just let herself do what she does best.
Place herself in the line of fire.

Whisper grumbled and moved out of the brush raising her hands to the dragon to show she was unarmed. "Hello Great One, I have come bearing a gift to you, an offering if you will," She motioned to the meat.
"Heh, a paltry offering a best Death's Child, your kind do not often seek us out, I can sense the lost ones within you, your blood is tainted by it, why did you seek me out?" The Dragon seemed wholly unimpressed.
"As I said Great One, I came to give you an offering, nothing more," Whisper lowered her head, bowing as in supplication to an angry god. "Will you accept it?"
"I shall, but only because you seem to be sincere.." The dragon dipped it's head and took the whole package in one gulp, shaking it's head as it swallowed.
"Thank you O' Great One," Whisper bowed. "Such warm reception to my offering pleases me... Like an Arrow that flies true..."

Morgana hled her breath until she heard the word arrow. Taking a kneeling stance she aims the arrow towards one eye for a moment. Closing her eyes she shakes her head, she couldn't turn back now. She was going to fight, even if she ended up getting hurt in the process. Opening her eyes she smiles before letting the arrow escape from her hand hearing it fly through the air, towards it mark.

The arrow was true embedding deep into the dragon's eye. It roared tossing it's head back and belching flame as it began to swear in curse in a harsh tongue.
"TREACHERY! BETRAYAL! DECEIT! DEATH TO ALL!" It bellowed into the swiftly oncoming night, it's tail thrashing, catching Whisper hard in the chest, and slamming her hard into the boulder.
It turned it's head towards the boulder, it's single eye glowing a deep crimsion red of anger, the other bleeding uncontrollably. "ALL THAT WOULD DARE HARM ME SHALL BE AS ASH!"
It leveled its gaze upon Morgana, and let lose a large tongue of flame.

Morgana gasp trying to move towards Whipser before she caught the flames leaving the dragons mouth. Jumping from the boulder she lands only to rll across the ground. Coughing she looks up looking around for the bow that she let fly when she hit the ground.
Looking back towards the dragon she turns spotting the bow a few feet in front of her. Moving to her knees she runs towards the bow grabbing for it, Turning towards the dragon she smiles "Hey buddy you have poor aim. You really should work on that."
Standing there she tosses the bow aside pulling out the sword instead. Sure she didn't knwo how to use it properly, but she did know how to throw, and she figure it would do far more damage.
Holding it out in front of her she looks at the Dragon watching for its next move.

The dragon growled and turned, slamming it's tail down at her. "Had you not taken my eye whelpling, I would have fried you on the spot," Lowering it's head it growled, sweeping it's tail after her again, bleaching out yet another tongue of flame.
It's eyes were narrowed, the blood still pouring steadily from the ruined eye, the arrow slowing sliding out due to the flow.

Morgana moves jumping awat from the first swipe of the tail "I seriously doubt that dragon." dodging the fire, it was the tail that got her in the back. Smackign the ground she gasps feelign the air leave her lungs. Coughing she rolls onto her back trying to focus her eyes, she was scared now as without her sight, she wouldn't be able to tell where the dragon was.
Glancing up she looks towards the darken figure in front of her. She was trying to force her eyes to focus again and fast.

"Hah!" The dragon crowed with triumph, bringing it's claw down atop Morgana before flipping her over quickly and then pinning her again lowering his head down to glare at her his snout barely above her face, his gore spattered eye finally dropping the arrow.
"It will be a pleasure to devour you slowly... bit... by bit... but first..."
Raising a claw it brought it towards her face.
"An eye, for an eye..."

Feeling the claws dig into her back Morgana bites back the scream before she glares as best as she can up at the dragon. Feeling its breath on her she cringes biting back the growl. She had to think fast is she wanted to get away from him.
Looking up at him directly she pressed her hands against the ground, she was hoping it was the dirt the creature had just set on fire. Her fingers dug looking for the heat.

Morgana would feel a massive amount of heat surge into her body, just as the dragon placed it's claw at the tip of her forehead. This caused a sudden sparking fire to shoot up it's claw, which caused it to dig into her forehead a little drawing blood before it pulled away, giving her a quick slash against her face, barely missing her eye. The cut was not deep but it was garunteed to bleed quite a bit. Swearing the dragon danced back.
"What sorcery is this!" Hissing it moved it's head quickly to strike.
The the Hellhound broke from the bushes, jumping and attacking the tail of the dragon, tearing into it with abandon, howling like mad.

Screaming from the pain Morgana wipe the blood from her face before she move out of the way of the attack. Standing she spits the blood out of her mouth before she holds her hands out. Flames were dancing over her hand as she laughs "Its called an elemental, your don't mess with one of fire and ice." watching as the hellhound attack she races forward grabbing up the sword.
Without a second thought, she lifts it over her head throwing it towards the Dragon's ribcage.

Normally the blade would deflect off the hardened scales of the ribcage, but Morgana's fire filled attack heated the blade so hot that it slid through the tough scales into the special ridge along the ribs, sliding to the hilt, piercing several vital organs, the blood flowing in buckets.
The Hound instantly halted it's attack swiftly moving out of the way, grabbing Morgana on the way by, bringing her to Whisper, who lay leaning against the boulder breathing very slowly.
The Dragon fell with an earth shattering crunch, taking a few slow shallow breaths.
"As I stare into the abyss... it stares back... So... many... stars..."
And so it died.

Morgana breathes in slowly looking at the dragon before she falls to her knees. The pain that she forgotten about was now taking over. Breathing hard she place her hands out in front of her to keep from hitting the dirt "I kill it...." coughings she winces as she lifts her hands to place on her sige. Pulling back she shakes her hands as she sees her hand covered in blood.
Laughing she smiles "Never thought I would see the day my own blood would cake my hand." looking up at Whipser she tries to stand up only causes herself to fall flat onto the ground.
