Parum fell to her knees. She still couldn't believe what happened. An [i]adult blue dragon[/i] shows up, starts laying waste to the soldiers here, Orchid tried to climb it, and she heard it's threat. She's been threaten before and she's been rightfully scared, but usually she could take care of herself around bigguns. But [i]hearing[/i] that dragon dismiss them so easily made Parum realize that they never stood a chance. He was just toying with them this entire time. What would have happened to them if he actually took them seriously? Parum didn't know. But something shook inside Parum. An inquisitive, morbid curiosity. [color=7ea7d8]"Why was he here?"[/color] Parum was not a brave person, but neither was she ignorant. There was obviously something more a foot here. If this dragon truly led the horde here then he would have no reason [i]not[/i] to lay waste to everyone and pilfer their treasures, or whatever Greenest had to offer really. Yet he treated this battle with the same air of apathy as a mercenary doing battle. That must mean that the dragon, while no doubt the strongest enemy here, wasn't the one who truly led this horde. So Parum must know: who is the mastermind behind all of this? A familiar scream shook Parum out of her thoughts as Orchid made a painful landing. He made an obvious remark before falling unconscious, and right after that Kyra went to heal him, undoing his injuries but still failing to wake him up. Brannor went to move Orchid out of the way as he spoke to the old man who created a blossom of ice, probably to protect them from the dragon's lightning breath. While Parum appreciated the gesture she wasn't confident that such a thin sheet of protection would have really saved them if the dragon did attack them. Regardless Parum followed Kyra and tried to help whoever was injured, though what she found... There weren't many survivors, if any at all. Most of them were fortunate to have been vaporized immediately. Others weren't so lucky. So many dead and maimed. If Parum wasn't shaken before, she certainly was now. [color=7ea7d8]"Good Oghma... Just what can we do now? Kobolds and brigands are one thing, but to face a dragon..."[/color]
