What comfort she received from her new, tighter clothing was undercut by the weight of cold armor driving her deeper into the snow drifts with every haggard step. This would have been so very easy if she could simply ride on the dragon's back, but they had been told in certain terms to walk and it wasn't like she [i]didn't[/i] need the endurance training. It was testimony in favor of Diana's training that Suparna didn't start groaning till after the first two hundred meters past the spires comforting masonry. Moving relative to one another they kept along a straight path even as their footsteps were swept beneath the driven powder, it seemed by all of Suparna's judgement that were doing fine. Then the sky split the earth, and Suparna was knocked back on her ass to gaze at an ax head larger then the head of the dragon she had ridden in on, held by towering creature of such height and stature it partially concealed by the clouds discharged their frigid deluge upon them. [color=orangered]"R-Right."[/color] She answered Diana's call through chattering teeth and scrambled to her feet to engage the elephant. Immediately she was struck with doubt pressing upon her shoulders, such a titanic creature being beyond her reach- [color=orangered]"Gyah!"[/color] Suparna growled at herself as the cold grasp of despair sought to steal her nerve, and shook herself loose with physical effort. [color=orangered]"I mustn't run away. I mustn't run away. I mustn't run away. I. Must not. Run away!"[/color] With her shield still holstered she drew her conical sword and flung herself upon the pachyderm's right leg, stabbing the windscorn flesh amidst a litany of mantras.
