Welcome to Gaia! ::

Kilian and Amadia were making their way back to Soudul when they were ambushed by another Ayrala dragon. Not being ready for the attack they were both caught off guard and knocked into a nearby rock sticking out of the ground. Kilian went down with an oof as the breath was knocked out of his lungs. For a minute he couldn’t move. The pain radiating through his back and over the scars from that dragon hunt long ago made him grit his teeth. “Are you...alright Amadia?” Kilan managed to get out between trying to take deep breaths. I’ll be fine. She responded through their bond.

The dragon was closing in on them quickly. This time, they were fooling with a full grown Ayrala. Unlike their battle just a little while ago with a youngster. Kilian cursed as he pushed himself up from the ground, using the rock to lean on as he took a few more deep gulps of air into his lungs. It burned. So bad. He really hoped that nothing was broken inside of him. He’d be in big trouble if it was. He was too far away from civilization to get any help.


Kilian pulled his daggers from his back and sucked in a breath as the pain from that movement made him think twice about attacking. He had to do it though. The other option was death and he was definitely not ready for that. Kilian mustered all the strength he had. Stay here, Amadia. Please. He usually didn’t demand for his bonded to stay put. She could take care of herself well enough. However, with them both being injured, he didn’t need a distraction. Every move counted.

He took off at the same time the dragon took off after them. He ducked down at the last minute. His feet touched the ground just long enough to get a good push off. He went up with his daggers extended, slicing through the neck of the dragon and sending it’s head flying off to the side. Dust began settling around them from the dead dragon. Another orb was laying on the ground for Kilian to collect.
