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.]

"Transporter?" she starts, turning to Bariyan sharply. "You came from Exsilium, then?"

She takes a deep breath but huffs it out before it can be anything approaching calm. "I didn't."

And that's probably a good thing that she droops, because the small group of demons trekking just beneath them would have been extremely bad to miss. Syllona stifles a stinting squeak by pressing her lips shut and pats quickly at Bariyan's chest -- shoulder, face? Whatever! Up isn't where she's looking just now.
stonefaith: (soooo)

Bariyan nods absent-mindedly in response to Syllona's question, and is about to expand when Syllona's hands pat against Bariyan's face. Bariyan winces and looks down at Syllona in surprise -- then he catches the demons below.

He grabs Syllona by the shoulders to steady her and follows their movements. Unfortunately for them, the little group decides to stop right under their tree -- to where Bariyan had, unthinkingly, left his axe.

Damn! He hadn't expected demons on the ground, not yet! Didn't they have a horde of damn dragons to be fighting overhead?

Bariyan holds his breath and tries to keep both himself and Syllona still. No sound, no movement that might draw their attention away form his weapon and upwards.
