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.]

"Does that mean you're equipped to fight these crazy fiends?"

It must and that's why she's come here. When Nowi heard what was asked of her, she pictured shambling corpses and wild hounds. Nothing like what she's actually seen with her eyes.

"That's incredible!"

"Maybe." Her bells had worked well enough, the times she'd used them, anyway. The lack of the Charter still worries her quite a bit, but she's hoping questions will be answered when they're somewhere safe.

Nowi's difficult to be afraid of, as open and oddly admiring as she is, so she braves a question: "Do you know where this... is?"

"Nope." As open as she can be, it shows she knows very little.

"They said they were gonna tell us, but then all the action started. I don't think they anticipated this and as a result, everything is kind of a mess!"

If they were going to welcome them as heroes, Nowi imagined parades and festivals. Not fel fire and demons nipping at her toes.

"Then... then we should stop the mess," Lirael suggests, though it sounds more like a question than a definitive statement. "The mage with the ears is trying to make a portal...." She's supposed to be protecting her, and keeping people away from the edge of the shield, but she's not very good at the latter part.
