Namir snarled and jerked back, just narrowly missing getting a hoof to the face. His red eyes landed on the stuck winged stallion and he pounced....
"Aydan!" Velika squealed, horrified at what was about to happen. She dove for the skinwalker's flank and yanked on his tail, hoping to distract him

"You know..." Sonja muttered landing on firmer ground beside her stuck in a tight space friend. "For all you go on about me watching out you would do well to take our own advise..." Her eyes searched the immediate area and spied a thick tree branch...several feet away. Of course... she rolled her eyes. "Try to stay alive until we can get you out of there and don't let chopper face hurt Vel, I still need her to give me those flying lessons.." and off she raced to fetch a very large stick.
Still stuck and finding that the more he struggled against the sinking sands the tighter they gripped at him, Aydan resorted to attempting to remain still, a difficult task considering Sonja's snapping at him, not to mention Velkia and the skinwalker. "Watch out for for those teeth!" he called in warning.

"You think?!" Velika squealed, dancing back out of Namir's way, narrowly missing becoming a three legged wind soq. "I was gonna sit still and see how BIG they were!"
"You'll pay for your insolence," Namir snarled, snapping at her again. When it was clear she was out of his reach, he turned back to the sitting duck, so to speak.

"I don't suppose you'd be open to talking about this?" Aydan asked, eying the creature warily.
Sonja was stuck still struggling with the branch. Of course the one stick that would be long enough for them was still attached to the tree! She worked at chewing, twisting, and pulling trying to sever the stubborn membranes that still held.

Namir growled as he quickly advanced...
Only to be brought up short as Velika gripped his tail between her teeth and yanked.
"You little," he called her a name no polite mare should be called as he turned on her.

The next few events happened in rapid succession. First Sonja Finally managed to break the branch loose from the tree. Unfortunately she wasn't expecting it to break quite so soon and was send tumbling backwards...right into Aydan, consequently knocking him out of the deep mud and herself into it. Always with a quick head on her shoulders (and a strong disdain for any muck on her feathers) Sonja managed to roll/tumble out of the mud before it could suck her in quick.
Aydan, on the other hand, found himself suddenly (and quickly) hurdling towards the skinwalker.

Namir wasted in no time in lashing out. He snapped at the male wind soq, catching a good chunk of flesh between his teeth. He snarled, tasting blood...
"Aydan!" Velika squealed again as she scrambled up into the air and tried kicking at Namir's head.

Aydan expected to be filled with immense pain right away but strangely...he found only the disconcerting sensation of the skinwalkers teeth deep in his foreleg. Naturally there was a bit of fear, but the desire to get away from the walker was stronger - so he did the worst thing he could have done, pulled back!
"Leave him alone!" Sonja snapped using her head, er horn, and stabbing at the walker.

Namir snarled as the horn bit into him and he jumped back abruptly to avoid further harm.
Velika, taking advantage of his distance, pushed against Aydan. "Fly!"

Ignoring the sensation of shredded skin, Aydan kicked off the ground and found that his wings still worked fine. "Let's get to higher ground!"
"Ha!" Sonja grinned in triumph and leaped into the air after her companions.

Velika buzzed around him worriedly, trusting Sonja to find them a safe place to land. "We need to get his wound tended to, he's bleeding heavily."

Aydan clenched his jaw and managed, "It's really not so bad..." After all, it could be worse. He could have this excruciating pain in his shoulders radiating with every flap of his wings instead of just in his limp foreleg. Still, the drag of the wind wasn't helping anything.
Sonja was busily scanning the ground looking for a place to regroup but hesitant to land too close to the swamp. Chopper face might have been a little mad when they left and she didn't need him following them...or worse, finding them when they were resting. Nope, better to travel a little further now, if Aydan could manage it. Sonja pushed them on until the swampland gave way to the sturdy trees of the forest. "There!" she said spotting a clearing. "We can land there...maybe find some stuff to patch him up."

Velika eyed the forest and looked ahead. "Those plains should have some herbs that we can use to tend to him. If I described them to you, do you think you could find them, Sonja?"

"You bet!" Sonja said angling down towards the ground. "Let's just make sure the big guy gets down there first...." she added quietly. "He's not looking too good."
Aydan was focusing on the patch of ground, trying to block out the pain and creeping numbness crawling up his leg.

Velika nodded and tilted her wings to fly on Aydan's other side, ready to slow his fall if his wings gave out. She just hoped his wound wasn't infected.
