The drake, obviously not even noticing Valon's valiant attempt at shock and awe kept on thrashing about, throwing both of its heads around as they breathed fire. Valon wondered for a minute if it would be possibe for the fiend to slay itself with this badly constructed technique. "Alright. I'll give him something to look at, and you flank him from the..." He said and turned to where he thought he'd see phoenix, but she was nowhere in sight. Instead the young woman whose scream had drawn the three heroes to the river in the first place. Shestared back at Valon with eyes that told thousands of stories of bravery and courage, and that she wouldn't be capable of any of them. [i]"Damn it, and Seth is nowhere to be found.... as usual."[/i] He thought and threw his arm out, pointing it toward the river. "Get to the other side, you'll be safe there, I'll handle this!" He said and tried to sound as heroic as he could while at the same time being scared right out of his pants. The girl made a run for the icy bridge, it was better than nothing after all, while Valon pulled up his pants and tightened his belt. He'd barely had the time to do this before he had to throw himself to the side in oder to avoid a nasty case of Burn-to-death-itis. A squeal behind him confirmed that the fire had hit the icy bridge. [i]"Damn it. I'm no match for a dragon, not even a youngling. Not alone."[/i] Something had to be done, but magic normally didn't affect drakes anyway. He looked back to see what had happened to the bridge and the girl.
