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.]

It's almost like an escort quest. "Nope."

Her usefulness is much along those lines as well. Swinging her arms back and forth as she walks quickly at his side, she watches him with wide eyes.

"Can you heal? Is that a thing people can do here?"

"Of course I can!" he said, supremely dignified. "I'm just terrible at it. My focus as a Blood Knight has always been on putting my weapon into my foes, and preventing them from putting their weapons into anyone who isn't me. But I think I can cauterize some wounds long enough to haul someone back to safety. Speaking of which!"

He adjusted his path slightly as he saw a wounded red dragon sprawled on the ground a short distance away, hustling towards it.

"Cauterize?" Doesn't that mean to burn? Nowi quickly scrambles after him.

"Hey, I don't think you can go around burning things just for fun and saying that it was done to help others!"
seesbosscrotch: (no)

"Ha! I have before and I will again, and it did help! But that isn't my plan this time. It's a red dragon thing, or at least that's how I hear it. They heal with fire."

Mar shrugged to indicate he didn't particularly understand how that worked, but hey, magic. "Which isn't what I'm going to do, but I bet a healing spell leaves a dragon's wounds sizzling and he likes it."

"They heal with fire?" If only he can take a moment to understand how ridiculous that concept sounds.

Fortunately, Nowi has quite the imagination and doesn't question it further. If they healed with fire, then they healed with fire. No problem!

"Wait, is that really what you're going to do? I'm not sure if I can follow a person around who intends to sizzle our companions."

"I think you're reading too much into this." Mar shook his head, unable to hide a smile. "Let's try again. I am going to go cast a healing spell on a dragon, thereby stabilizing it enough so that I can drag it to safety. Then I will drag it to safety. Does that work for you?"
