She looked at The Dragoness "Yes, I am Raven, And who might You Be, Miss?" she asked politely. Peering at Her with a Bit of Interest, but went Back to Sharpening her Glass Like Claws.
"Megan, but call me Maggie. Megan is much to formal for me. Amatis tells me you inspire to be a warrior eh?" She chuckled, as though sharing some private joke with herself.
 
 During his split second of hesitation, Henry regained his wits and cleared his head. He racked his brain to try and remember some of his warrior training, it was so long ago that he could hardly remember doing it, nevermind what the battles moves actually were. However, like riding a bike, some things you just don't forget. He swung his tail out at Silv with all his strength. Though it wasn't covered in spikes like some dragons, or poisonous like Silv's, it was thick and heavy.

"Well, since its such a warm day and the air currents are fairly strong, plus my excellent flying ability, I actually glided most of the way." He said, looking away to hide his grin as he knew that wasn't what she was talking about. He also didn't mention anything about Caronia being at a much higher altitude then Pelendava, meaning that he could simply glide downwards slowly with the right winds just like a ball would roll on a ramp. She couldn't know about that.

Silv's breath whistled out as he took the brunt of the hit with his chest and he barred his teeth as he drew a shallow breath.
Counter! Counter! He had made mistake and it cost him, both physically and mentally. But he was not about to slow, he could not let anger cloud his vision, another mistake like his last and his frail structure wouldn't hold out. He did a partial somersault backwards, regaining his stance and whipping his tail menacingly. He yelled in a foreign tongue, although his tone was enough to convey most of the meaning. With a short burst he lounged infront of Henry, then to the side, making a grab at his face with his claws as he skidded away.



She threw her shoulder into him, "Uhuh. Well, it was dumb. You just can't help but to throw yourself into messes like this can you? You thrive in your own self-made danger, why couldn't you have just stayed put, like a sane dragon? Too hard not to get yourself killed?!" She ranted, frills' flushing dark as she went on, "Gah!"

Henry recoiled as Silv's claws struck his face. His head swing sideways from the blow and he staggered to the side, the combined forces of his tail's continued momentum and the blow to his head nearly knocking him over. He grit his teeth and took a step back, trying to ignoring the sharp pain in his torn wing and now his face, which was dripping hot, salty blood into his mouth and staining his teeth red. He knew he was stronger then Silv as far as brute strength went, but that didn't matter if he wasn't quick enough to land a blow of his own. He pondered for a split second, he could either continue fighting, or he could attempt to get help.

Deciding his chances against beating Silv were slim, he opted to try and get help. Knowing that he was opening himself up for an attack, he raised his head to the sky and shouted: "Charlotte, alert the city!" to the circling dragoness above. Now he could only hope that he had the strength to hold Silv off long enough for re-enforcements to arrive from the city.


Jester's course changed slightly at her shove, but very little. "I just love it when you do that." He purred, flicking her frills with a claw. Then his gaze turned serious, and his eyes lost their amused touch as he finally answered her question honestly. "Because I needed to see you." He said, looking away.

Silv cawed, flashing his cobalt blue tongue. ennie, meenie, minney, moe...
And there again another door had opened, should he take off after her or continue with him? He danced out of reach of Henry, staying away from his tail end.
The old serpent's blood was already growing bitter on his lips, and depending on how fast the little one flew, reinforcements could arrive before he was through. It was tough, but the greater reward rested with Charlotte, and he smiled. "Bleed out, my friend. Save your Pelendava from such weak links as yourself."

With that he spun and whipped into the air after the dragoness, lashing his tail behind him, at Henry, as he lifted off.

She continued forward, eyes switching from him to her feet, "Yeah well, I don't need to see you dead. You could have just waited by the border, I come by there now and then." She lifted her face again and stopped, sitting down and watching him, "I think were far enough for now."

Henry gave a small shout of pain as Silv's tail cracked across his cheek like a whip. He licked his lips and spat out the mouthful of blood what was quickly forming. Without waiting, he tore into the trees, trying to follow Silv from the ground. His wings were damaged enough to prevent him from flying but he could still run, however slow it was. Though he didn't know how fast Silv could fly, he guessed it was probably faster then Charlotte. Wherever they went down, he needed to be.

Charlotte's wings flapped furiously, and her breaths came in ragged gasps as she was not used to flying so fast, so suddenly. She stole a glance behind her and her heart nearly leaped out of her mouth when she seen that he was following. Terror blinded her thoughts and her wingbeats faltered for a moment before she forced herself to keep going. Please... please go away... she willed silently.


Jester stopped alongside of her. "I needed to see you now, before I..." His voice faultered "Before I can't anymore."

He would have laughed had the wind not been whipping his face and burning his large eyes. He heard Henry below, although he faded as he rose.
"Don't make this any harder than it has to be, I'll be quick." He snickered, beating his wings faster. He could probably hit her from here, his venom could fly quite a ways.
To use it or not, perhaps if she slowed a bit.... He didn't want to waste it, and it always soured the kill.

"Wha? What do you mean, what are you doing?" She replied, alarm in her voice, "You did do something, didn't you?"
