Fall, 1331
The battle over the sky had quickly delved into a chaotic tangle of a half-dozen duels.
“The gryphons seem to have been scattered into small groups by the Black Drakes.” Mera observed.
“Go for the largest group. Hopefully this Yubegsa is among them.” Logan pointed towards a large cluster of figures alternatively dispersing and then collapsing together like a woven ribbon. “That one!”
Mera immediately flew over to encounter a squadron of a dozen gryphons locked in combat with another Black Drake, a copper.
“Yubegsa?” The dragon called out to the fighters.
The gryphons were clawing and tearing at the copper, which was giving as more than it got, firing torrents of flames at the bird-lions, many of whom were exhibiting burn marks and deep wounds. Blood flecks danced it the air like gruesome dust particles. One brown gryphon had managed to embed both its fore and hind claws into the enemy dragon’s chest, trying to bite at the wyrm’s throat, but the Black Drake was trying to do the same, and dealing cruel craw marks onto the gryphon’s back. The brown was the one to respond, without looking away from his opponent’s snapping jaws.
“Here to help your scaly friend, finish us off, demon?” The gryphon evidently known as Yubegsa snapped in Auxian.
“No, I’m here to help you!" Mera replied. "Fetati told me to rally with you after she fell wounded.”
“You’re a friend? Help us kill this dragon!”
“Fine, fine.” Mera dived towards the enemy dragon. Engrossed in combat, the Black Drake did not notice the approach of the new opponent until it was too late. For a split second, the Black Drake paused in shock and anger.
It was enough of an opportunity.
*You spawn of a-* Was all the copper dragon managed before Mera’s hind legs connected, one clawing into the copper’s shoulder and the other into the Black Drake’s head. Then Mera gave a violent kick. With a sickening snap the copper’s neck was broken, and the Black Drake tumbled silently from the sky. The brown gryphon immediately broke his embrace of the dead enemy.
Mera pointed his head towards the next aerial duel in the distance. “Follow me!”
“Traitor to your own kind eh, dragon?” The brown gryphon laughed as he brushed the blood from his back with the swipe of an arm.
“The Black Drakes are the traitors, feathered one! And my name’s Mera! Follow me!” The dragon was already flying off, Logan on his back leaning to avoid the worst of the air currents. Yubegsa squawked at his command and followed suit.
“We’ll follow you, Mera dragon." Yubegsa laughed again as he led a baker's dozen of gryphons behind the bronze dragon.
"You’re a bigger target for your traitors!”
