Zephy stood next to Tobi on the battlefield, deflecting any debris that came too close to the two as she kept an eye on the dragon. The soldiers were faltering, with any that tried to charge the beast being knocked down the hill roughly. What currently bothered her was the thick ring of cloud that had encircled the bottom of the hill, catching anyone who was unlucky enough to be swept aside by the fire-breathing dragon. The baby dragon had most likely been taken away by the witches, so there was little chance of him being the one who had made the clouds. So who-
Zephy’s eyes widened and she jerked at the prince’s sleeve.
“Tobi, there’s something in the clouds!”
Sure enough, something was indeed roiling inside the clouds that held the soldiers, sending undulations that sent some soldiers flailing a short distance to the ground where they fell with a soft thud, and above in the sky as well.
Victoria was at the rear of the group with the other foot soldiers. She should be in front guarding the prince with her life, but she wasn't as loyal as Avian- who was, coincidentally, the reason why she was where she was right now, because she was waiting for him.
When the nobodies rushed against that blue dragon she followed, only to feel a compelling force push her to the ground. Surely that dragon they were fighting right now wasn't the cause...? In any case, the royal dragoon had no time to wonder; she rejoined the front lines and set about attacking the azure one with her new whip, as the old one seemed to had been lost by a certain healer. Speaking of Jasper, her inventive usage of her healing prowess earned more than a few impressed stares from the nobodies who saw it. 'Too bad she was a human', Victoria thought, 'She could have, perhaps, become a royal dragoon.'
The blue dragon's irritated snarls echoed throughout the mountain, and the skies above were briefly illuminated before an ear deafening roar burst through in response. Above the pandemonium caused by panicking soulders the rush of another pair of wingbeats resounded, and an iridiscent dragon flew out of the thick white clouds and headed straight for the mountain. Its maw was stretched wide open and the glowing orb of energy within crackled ominously before growing in size and intensity; when the dragon was nearing the mountain's side the ball suddenly dissipated, as if the energy which made it was spread all over the entire place, and everyone, be it human or nobody, was suddenly bowled over by an invisible force. And so it circled the area, growling and sending more soldiers off the mountain, most especially the ones which were attempting to hurt the other dragon.
Beneath the hill, a chime like cry echoed through the battlefield as yet another dragon darted out from the clouds, sending soldiers resting on the white fluffiness bouncing around. This dragon was smaller than the others, her body covered with fluffy clouds and feathers that currently radiated a hue of dusky blue and purple. She soared up above the heads of the scrambled soldiers, head turning to and fro as if she was seeking something, letting out another cry and with it a wave of panic and sadness that struck the hearts of those below as well as a powerful billow of clouds that quickly covered the soldiers, reducing the visibility below to almost zero and rendering them stopped in place, in case they ended up tripping over any unseed root or rock or crashing into another comrade in the midst of the confusion.
The feathered dragon joined her iridiscent mate, seeming to convey something frantically as another wave of panic washed over the people standing below as she looked down to the humans who were wielding a number of weapons. Somehow they had managed to wound the blue dragon, and two more were standing on the crest of the hill, one smelling of fire and the other of steel. Another billow of clouds was sent swirling down, this one curling over the top of the hill.
On the hill, Zephy clung to Tobi as the whiteness blew around them, surrounding them in cool vapor as a sense of sadness settled in after the panicked feeling had subsided from the dragon's attack. Or had it been an attack?
"I think those are the parents," Zephy shouted through the clouds covering, voice muffled as her eyes strained to make out the people around them.
"Everyone, be careful!"
