Welcome to Gaia! ::

Calcryx's eyes shot wide and lit up with mystical fire the moment he heard that name. The large wooden door he held in his hands slipped out and hit the ground as he ran towards the center of the courtyard, between the manor doors and the gates. Deep inside his mind, a ping shot out that alerterted Saradin to the situation, while he busily wove enchantments around himself. Even as he did that, his form glowed brightly and transmuted into that of a dragon again, small enough to still maneuver within the boundries of the courtyard. Around his white scaled body, an unnatural fire burned and consumed him whole, immolating his body in a massive pyre. The dust and ash of what should have been his body fell away, but the fire remained still dragon shaped and slowed down. In a moment the fire had halted entirely and solidified, taking the appearance that it was frozen in place.

Out in the forest, Sarading bolted in an instant, shadow-walking freely between the barriers of reality and crossing distance at incredible speeds. In less than a minute he'd covered the three miles back to the manor and ran into the yard, taking up his place beside Calcryx, sword drawn. "Where's Idalla?"

"I cant contact her again."
"We'll just do without. She's done enough already."

Calcryx's protections began just as silently as Atreyu's attack. Given the man's understandable penchant for snakes, it was a simple thing to lessen the damage it would do. Even though the poison coursed into Enoch, more than half of it was nullified immidiately, and the rest left to course into the body far slower than it would have.

Then the source of the lethal drug was cut off, blue fire enveloping Enoch whole, beginning to scald away only the small creatures that dug into his flesh and leaving him unharmed as Saradin bolted up to them, Soulforge already bearing down to strike the fiend in his place.

Atreyu roared in anger as he threw Enoch into the air, realising four silver daggers, a materials more posinous to Enoch than Anything else. "How dare you interfere with what you don't understand!" he screamed as he lounged the daggers at Enoch. As the daggers plunged there way into Enoch's Atreyu opened another portal under the dangling body and engulfed him sending into some unknown region of the darkvoid. Atreyu's hand began to glow a fiercesome blue, as from under his feet, rose twenty soldiers, there bodies decaying, there flesh falling from the bone, they were dressed in clothing from all times and eras, they were his servants although inwilling, for who could stop the dead? "Witness the tue power of the snake god." he screamed.

He couldn't wait anymore. Taking on again his blue aura to conceal himself he stepped from out of his hiding place. Crouching again he melted through the roof in a shadow walk and landed, kneeling, on the floor below. Standing up he gave a snort, fluffed his wings, twitched his ears and flicked his tail. "Aurora?" Slink around? Not him.

Aurora's eyes widened as she saw the figure of a man wearing shining armour ((as far as she cares)) land in front of her with Eclipse's voice and scent. Aurora emidiately 'swooned' on the floor.

The son of Nelphean watched the creature appear in front of him, "I guess I could just let you go, but you seem well armed, lets play." He held a staff in his left hand, and another weapon against his body and behind him with his right. He adopted a battle stance.

"Well armed." He laughed and crouched down into his own battle stance, wings slightly flared, ears pinned back and clawed hands held out at the ready. Good thing he had got his balance down. "Play all you like. In the end elf boy, I'm leaving here alive and well." He emitted a growl, though not one as fierce as he would if he were in true form. "Make your move...we'll see who falls first."

Only fire and ice emerged from the wounds on the dragon's body, searing the limbs that dug into him with both flame and frost. Calcryx's teeth bared and snapped down onto Atreyu's arm, tearing sinew and breaking bone even as it reshaped. "We know what he is and what you are monster. But the only god we know is the one who banished your master!" Saradin shouted, the small silver cross glowing brightly visible, even beneath his armor as he charged Atreyu from behind, colliding with the nigh unstopable body with his shield, the cross alight with power as he struck away the being. The moment freed from this ungodly thing's grasp, the dragon swung its wings and took into the air, and prepped another spell. "But Elias's body aside. We can still trap YOU demon." In Calcryx's eyes, you could see the impending spell, and feel the sanctity of their work as the spell worked slowly to tear that beasts soul from Elias' body.
