Shot after shot, Asher continued to fire more red hot spearheads at the dragon. The wall slowly started to shrink downwards as more material was lost with each shot. His eyes watch through the peephole, hoping that the overgrown lizard will finally be taken down in some fashion soon. [color=coral]“I can’t keep this up much longer unless I want to leave us open,”[/color] his head turning back towards Astoria, still in the middle of keeping her spell going behind him. But as his attention returns to the front, he spots through the rain and debris a fantastic sight. The dragon, the beast that has been taking hit after hit from their guild and kept fighting, falls over, collapsing to the ground. 

Seconds that seemed like minutes passed as Asher held his breath. The dragon did not move. It was finally defeated. And the ones who did it was their very own guild. Turning his back against the wall, he slowly slumped to the ground, letting out his breath as he could feel the adrenaline now start to fade and exhaustion began to sink in. For a minute, all he could do was sit there, a relieved smile on his face as the thought of victory now took over his thoughts. [color=coral]“We did it… we really did it, huh?”[/color] He speaks softly to the air, quite now except for the falling rain. 

[i][color=coral]Rain… right,[/color][/i] he realizes, his head looking back up to Astoria’s form, still in a trance as she holds onto her spell. [i][color=coral]I guess she hasn’t realized it over now, huh?.[/color][/i] Asher pushes himself up and off the wall, walking over to her standing position. Placing a hand onto her shoulder, he gives her a gentle shake to snap her out of the trance. [color=coral]“Astoria, you can stop now,”[/color] he softly says. [color=coral]“It’s over. The dragon… it is defeated. We have won.”[/color] A smile comes to his face as he reminds himself of that. 

His head turning back once more towards the wall, he then says to her, [color=coral]“We should meet back up with the others and see what everyone’s status is. I know several of them take big blows out there besides Holly, and I’m certain they would appreciate your healing abilities right about now.”[/color] He then takes his hand off her shoulder, turning to leave from behind their barrier. 

As he rounds the corner, he stops for a moment, before adding [color=coral]“Good work, by the way. If you hadn’t started that rain shower, it’s likely the fire would still be causing more damage to the city or hurt more people.”[/color] With that said, he continues out from around the wall, picking up his pace while hopping over and around debris in the street as he heads to meet up with the others.
