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 might fall and squish you under my Manakete butt if I do that.

[ She doesn't appear to have much of a butt in her current state, especially with how much she wriggles uncomfortable on the branch she's perched on. ]

*just shrugs, and turns to go. obviously this is no longer his problem, after all!*

Hey!

[ Incoming branch or three. She's got surprisingly good arm and even more surprising, a strong arm when it comes to throwing things. ]
lightningbearer: (grimace)

*well, the shouting he would have ignored, but being pelted with branches.... he'll turn and at least give you a one-eyed glare for that--just what is your problem, anyway? :|*

[ She craves attention and usually big burly guys like him are the softies. ]

Don't give me that look.
lightningbearer: (durrr)

*well, he can be, somewhat, but in the middle of a pitched battle with someone he's just met isn't really the time*

Stop hesitating and just let yourself down.

*though as he says that, he'll take another brief look at the branch she's on--is it low enough that she'd come out with nothing worse than some bruises were it to snap under her?*

[ Just a few bruises. She must not be in much harm since she didn't take any damage climbing up there and is still swinging her legs in idle thought. ]

I'm too scared!

If it was that easy, I would've just done it.

*yeeeeaaah you know what, he's just going to do this the "get it over with fast" way. Which means a sharp-eyed observer might notice the twitch of his right hand and brief moment of hesitation, but if you blinked you probably missed it. Instead he raises his left hand, focuses in concentration for a few moments.... and then a small bolt of lightning leaps to strike the base of the branch Nowi's sitting one. Thank goodness for pinpoint accuracy, right?*

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek!!!

[ Nowi, out of instinct, attempts to transform into her Manakete form so that she may fly, but instead?

SPLAT!

That's... a giant bear landing face down in the ground with their big bear butt sticking right up in the air. ]


Grooooowlies...

*...well that was.... unexpected. But he's at least heard of werewolves, so if the girl's fine then as far as he's concerned there's nothing more to be done here. Though he'll go make sure there's nothing dangerous lurking in the immediate vicinity, provided she doesn't try to stop him again, that is...*

[ She won't, she's just a pile of bear butt right now. ]

Owies.... ow... growlies... they all sound not cute. [ Flee while you still can! ]
