Feneya's eyes widened in alarm as she caught the scent of human but they moved too quickly for her to get away or warn any of the others. She sprang up to face the human invaders just before a dragon swooped from behind her and used his [i]foua[/i] to create a wall of writhing flames. The wimborne dragonelle awoke immediately and the dragon yelled "Hurry" as crossbow bolts shot through the flames. The dragon and a small dragonelle flew quickly into the sky and Feneya shouted to the wimborne as she started to fly.

"Get everyone out of here! Now! I will hold them off!" Feneya turned and spread her wings to shield the wimborne from the onslaught of arrows. She bared her teeth and stretched to her full height before she let out an outraged roar at the humans who took her Queen. A few of them seemed frightened but the fire was dying and the other dragons needed more time to get away. Feneya used her own [i]foua[/i] to replenish the fire on the grass and used all the energy she could to shout in the mind speak.

[i]Humans are here! Humans are here! Get away! Everyone get away![/i]

In an instant a vision of the Queen appeared in Feneya's mind and she let out another mighty roar before she opened her mouth and created a flame her ancestors of Aramoor would have envied. She managed to set at least two of the humans alight and burned the others before the largest one aimed his crossbow at her exposed shoulder. Feneya didn't see the bolt in time to move so it struck her and went deep. She roared in pain and swiped at the humans with her claws. The humans were aiming at her again so she quickly turned and flew as high and as fast as her wings would carry her, but blood dripped down her side and every beat of her wings caused the bolt in her shoulder to shift and dig deeper. She winced and whined in pain as she looked around for any sign of the wimborne and the drake that had bought her enough time to attack.
