It was difficult to call Luana's actions futile, as she had discovered something else about the dragons claws. You didn't even have to be cut by them. Just allowing them to touch something, be it plant or person, was enough to cause it to wither and die. That made this overgrown lizard quite a bit harder to deal with. It wasn't even just its claws, even the ice on its head [i]decayed[/i] and sloughed away like dead skin. Or was it just melting? That made more sense, but it was really hard to tell. It leapt away with its superior speed and prepared to attack the closest target.

That would be Luana, of course.

She had tried to maneuver around their target, but it had escaped and now had her in its sights. It was faster than her, bigger than her, stronger than her, and any defense she could mount against it with her magic would wither and die in seconds. The thought of reinforcing her spells with a good freezing from Ethelred's attacks did cross her mind, but if could decay ice, what was stopping it from decaying petrified wood? Even Endless Eclipse was useless in this situation. That thing's claws would hue her living handle almost instantly.

With all of Luana's options exhausted, the only thing left to do was run for the castle and hope the others could cover her escape. Come to think of it, Lif said something about testing weaponry on a mountainside. Maybe they'd be fine testing something out on this dragon. She's have to seek them out, which shouldn't have been hard given what her spear was capable of.
