Throughout their showdown with the shadow dragon, Fellwing had refused to budge, or look away, or tremble. How could she, when Stargaze so bravely held the creature's eyeless gaze? No, she wouldn't shrink way from danger and abandon her, not this time. She would gaze back into the abyss in front of them, and she would learn its secrets. She was of house Kebros, and they did not shy away from Darkness.

Then, as quickly as their standoff had begun, it ended. At Stargaze's bravery and resolve, the shadow dragon growled its displeasure, taking wing and fleeing to the skies. It lingered there, a dark, stormy cloud in an otherwise clear sky, threatening thunder, then disappeared beyond the treeline.

It was over. 

It was over at last, and without further casualties. She couldn't believe it - wouldn't believe it, until she could no longer hear the beat of the shadow dragon's wings. The whole forest seemed to sigh in relief in tandem with her; a gentle breeze that chased away what shadows still lingered. To think that the answer to defeating the creature wasn't magic, but... friendship? Fellwing still wasn't entirely sure what had happened, but she knew if she'd gone at this alone, she would've not made it through. Facing it alone was what it [i]wanted[/i], and to think she almost played straight into its claws...

[color=#595555]"Stargaze, you-- you're amazing!" [/color]the Seer's voice came to her gradually, starting from a whisper, then teetering on a shout. She rose to her back legs, wings beating as she beamed at her friend, proud. [color=#595555]"Wait until Echo hears of this!"[/color]

Echo would hear of it, Fellwing would made sure of it, but for now they still had work to do. Luckily, it didn't take them long to find the first of the captives - and Skobeloff, safe and sound, with friends in tow. Fellwing chuckled at him. [color=#595555]"I'm sure you've more chances for more showdowns soon enough."[/color]

She said it with a smile and an upbeat tone, an attempt to cheer up a friend, intoxicated by the flippant atmosphere as she was. But no sooner had the words left her mouth, than the memory of the shadow dragon returned. So as Skobeloff bounced off to find another captive, the Seer turned her gaze to the skies, feeling a shiver run through her scales as she thought back on their encounter - and the fact that the shadow dragon hadn't been vanquished, it had simply left.

[i]For now.[/i]

[hider=ooc]Fellwing studied the shadow dragon, and with an [url=https://www.roleplayerguild.com/rolls/25390]11[/url], asks: "Who are you holding a grudge against?" (trying to figure out what its agenda is, sort of) and "What could I learn from you?"[/hider]
