Welcome to Gaia! ::

It was just Maslin's luck that the trek home from his training session with Kadryn had not been a peaceful one. Body still aching and more than little tired he had found himself not a quiet walk but a damned Ysali staring at him and at Lazuli as if their very presence was offensive. The dragon was a male, Maslin was starting to be able to tell the genders of them apart by now. By the looks of it he was an adult and one who'd been on the wrong side of plenty of fights in the fast.

Maslin would have felt sympathy for the scarred beast if it hadn't immediately lunged at him, clean intending to make him his next meal. He had dodged, just barely, and shouted at Lazuli to run before dodging a claw swipe. The trees of the forest were too thick for the dragon to take flight lest it climbed a tree and launched itself into the air that way, even then small as Ysali were it wouldn't have been able to fly there.

The hybrid mage steadied his breathing as he drew his scepter and then aimed an bright bolt of magic at the dragon. Water would do him no good but fortunately he was not just a Persio dovaa but had access to magics granted to him from his weapon.

The ysali charged at him, clearly thinking the pudgy boy's magic was no big deal. It was dead wrong and the moment the blast of magic hit it's head the creature paused and keeled over.

It took only moments for it's body to fade away leaving behind only a bright green soul that Lazuli scooped up with a playful chirp before racing back towards camp. Maslin could only shake his head and grin. He'd finally figured this dragon hunting this out, he needed to choose locations that favored him more in the future, ones that made his enemies movements predictable and also bad.
