As soon as K'ile hit the ground, he rolled to his feet and bolted away from the pair. His red ears and tail were like plumes of fire as he leapt over shrubbery and darted off with the speed of a rested -- if wounded -- man. To the south, Amal'jaa beastmasters stood with chains and spears in hand, shouting commands their drakes. West of Thal, reptilian archers set metal bolts to massive bows. And from the east came the drakes.
K'aijeen shook the plain branch she carried after the fleeing Tia. "Him!" But her anger only lasted an instant before she noticed all that was going on around her, and she did lower her head as though she could simply duck away from it. When she looked at Thal, she was fearful. "What do we do?"
