your hands protect the flames

Who: The Dragonsworn
What: The first arrival of the Dragonsworn goes a bit...awry.
Where: Scattered around the perimeter of Suramar.
When: Dawn on March 21st
Warnings: Please PM the mods if any warnings are needed

It is almost as if you've woken from a daydream when the ground meets your feet. The stench of fire is overpowering, and though dawn is just approaching in the canopies of Kalimdor, bright flashes of green can be seen between the branches of impossibly tall trees. If that doesn't snap you out of your surprise, then the sound of nearby spitting in demonic tongue may persuade you to get a grip and notice your surroundings -- you are not alone. There are others like you, huddled just a bit too close, with a somewhat familiar face keeping you from advancing further. Looking down at your hands may briefly reveal a momentary flash of color, but nothing lasting more than a few seconds.

The mages of each flight take the helm of their charges, and they are quick to notice any movement from their groups despite channeling some sort of spell to keep you protected. Stray fire will bounce off an invisible shield that ripples when anything make contact with it. There seems to be nothing in sight but your new comrades, and your guardian -- at least not on the ground. The sky has flying demons swarming a pack of dragons -- and the dragons are very clearly losing. Look just a bit farther, and you might find more dragons, though these clearly have different colored scales than the ones above your head.

While distracted, you may hear your guardian speak to you. "There may yet be wounded nearby -- if you care to, bring them here, and we will tend to them from the Sanctum." Briefly, they gesture skyward, toward the dragons flying overhead. "Do not bring to us any that are not our own, lest you invite their demise!"

But the mage is focused on casting -- they are in no position to halt your advance, and they know it. They speak with concern -- concern for you, concern for the dire situation at hand. The demonic cackling is drawing near. The forests are rapidly becoming overrun, and there are already a few dragons slain on the forest floor.

"Take care, Dragonsworn -- I am bringing us to safety, but it will take time. To wander far is to invite your ruin, and we cannot afford the loss of your life."

[OOC: You are free to mingle on this post as you choose, despite the flight groups being scattered through the forests around Suramar -- after this log, you will be separated into your sanctums, and your interactions will be watched much more closely. Attempting to enter the city itself will result in a vicious attack from demons that will kill. The Dragon Mages will be tagging sporadically to heroes of their matching flight, and the conclusion of this log will lead Dragonsworn through portals to their Sanctums.]

"I can't really heal, I'm afraid," the Doctor admitted. "I suppose I could perform some sort of rudimentary first aid?" But not Azerothian First Aid, because there's no way he could have ever had the patience to grind bandage-making. He probably would have given up somewhere in the middle of linen or silk.

And even if he'd been able to use his newly-granted powers (the ones he didn't actually know existed yet), they wouldn't have been useful, either; being a mage tended to make you rather useless when it came to healing (but surprisingly handy if you wanted delicious pastries to snack on after a fight).

He knelt down next to a wounded dragon - red, he noted idly - and applied pressure to one of its injuries. "If we can keep the bleeding down, we ought to be able to get it back to a healer in time."

"Oh, well, if that's the best we can do, at least we can apply a shoddy patch job to the wounds faster."

Mar knew nothing about his own Dragonsworn powers, which would be much more effective than what he was about to do, but he did know how to cast a healing spell. The paladin brought his hands together, gathered light around them, then thrust a hand forward as golden radiance descended around the dragon.

It wasn't much of a heal, but it was something.

"And that ought to see it survive till we reach a healer. Next step, reach a healer!"
