Repay me? No, no. I will be fine. She said. She didn't want him feeling like he owed her a thing. She nudged his cheek to let him know it was alright.

His expression soften slightly " If you say so, let's do that then." He wasn't too thrill to request anythting from the unnown dragoness payed or not but he caugh her once already and figure that if it came to the worst he could still do it again and crush her if she became a threat for Zilla.

Zilla giggled. Perfect! Lets find her then figure out her price. After that I will go get the money. she said enthusiastically. The feeling still looked over her that by being around him should would cause him more trouble, but she shook it off.

" Alright but if she try anything ..." He didn't neaded to finish his though, if that dragoness would so mutch as look at Zilla the wrong way being choke to death would be conciderated as nice compare to what he would do this time.

Dont worry, I am sure she wont. She said cheerfully. She began walking off to look for the dragoness.

He growl slightly, not realy convinced of that, but follow her closely not wanting to lose her again.

Impatiently, she scanned the sky, magnifying her senses for a few seconds.

Then she heard it. Heard them.

The booming of wingbeats, several dragons from her estimation. All of them in a hurry. As she focused further she deduced they were all around, centring on Elenor and Cesura's position.

They were being hunted.

"We need to go now," Elenor growled, grabbing Cesura and shoving her off the edge. She jumped off heartbeats later, opening her wings and flying in a position so that she could protect Cesura from assaults from above and from their flanks.

She turned her head to the sky, and caught a glimpse of a dragon wearing blanched metal armour. It was the hunters from before - the ones after Skaaul and his companion. But now they were more prepared than last time - they had chestplates and guards on their shoulders and sides. Not very many weak spots could be seen from afar.

Why were they after her and Cesura now? Was it because she had killed one of them before, and had been seen with Skaaul? Whatever the reason, they were in serious danger. These hunters certainly weren't friendly.

"What is i- gah!" Cesura almost shreaked as she got pushed of the edge but quickly righted herself in the air. Elenor was already above her.

Cesura scanned get surroundings. Sky... More sky... Oh wait- there! armor-clad dragons no doubt looking for them.

"We need a plan," Elenor shouted over the whistling of the wind as they sped downwards. "Do we engage or do we flee? They have greater numbers and several other tactical advantages."

She looked around, searching for a solution to both plans of action. Escape: there was a cavern in the side of one of the mountains, and she could see faint light from the far end of it with her heightened senses. Even if that route was blocked they could at least use that as their battleground - the enclosed space would be a fighting advantage for Elenor, at least.

To fight... well, the seven dragons she could detect so far all had height and they had Elenor and Cesura surrounded. They also had armour, meaning long-ish range attacks with bolts of fire at least were almost useless. Enveloping, flammable gas, however... that was something different. Something that would also be better used in the cavern. In any scenario, that ravine would serve them best.

"Unless you have a better idea, head for the cavern over there - fly low and fast." Already, a couple of their pursuers were shooting down the mountainsides, gaining momentum and getting closer by the second.

"Uh- you take the lead!" Cesura yelled over the wind. One of the attackers was closing in faster than the others. Cesura pulled out of her dive and looked up at the dragon. Closer... Closer... she swept out of the way quickly, grabbing the other dragons wings and putting her hind legs on his back. Cesura yanked on his wings while pushing his back, all the while using her size to keep them aloft. She heard a sickening snap and released her victim, sending him plummeting toward the ground. Cesura then dove again to catch up with Elenor.
