Immediately Noxaura knew something dangerous was lurking below, when the first thing Astarot did was shift from human form to dragon. Though it could very well be from the uncomfortable aspect he had talked about earlier, she knew it wasn't so. As she stood just inside the entrance, she finally recognised the clashing signatures of magic. The atmosphere was so pregnant with power it was hard to descipher where the magic was emanating from in the first place, let alone identify what it belonged to.<br/><br/>So she knew it was too late when she felt the sudden rise in heat behind her. No chance of staying clear especially in such a trapped space. Her hair blinded her at the rush of fire that washed over her from behind in Astarot's haste of breath. This time she watched as her clothes and supplies disintergrated into fine ash, and not like the sturdy material, metals and semi-precious gems they once were.<br/><br/>Having just enough time to sense a retaliation to Astarot's rude announcement, she was glad her dragon still had some sense in him to understand that there was no chance of her dodging what was coming, nor of serviving it.<br/><br/>Allowing him to man handle her she watched, the hulking, scarred beast emerge from her den, like some vile snake searching for its prey.<br/><br/>With the screams grating on her ears and turning her stomach, she thought to Astarot.<i>Confounded dragon what is the meaning of this? You had better have a brilliant reason for attacking another dragon, especially in their own territory, in their own nest. What part of this is in anyway helpful to either of us? If you had not noticed this is far from the fae you were boasting of. Explain. </i><br/><br/>Calmly escaping Astarot's hold she made her way to the top of his crown, looking down to watch this acidic beast crawl forth. Yet she made no move to answer as it was clear this dragon was half blind, which was useful especially if they were to stay out of her target range for the moment, that was as long as they did not make a noise to give away their location.
