Kasala, now a very large blue dragon, struck the the ward with extreme force. The ward didn't break and Gildae was protected from the force of the attack. Almost immediately after the first attack, he was struck by the dragon's fire. His inner flame took over and he escaped unharmed, although his clothes became singed and charred in a few areas. Kasala was still in the dragon, though her mind appeared as if it were trying to fight against the dragon's immense rage. He heard one last plea for help and quickly came up with a plan.<br/><br/>The ward came down as Gildae charged forward toward the raging dragon. He threw his blade into the ground and covered his eyes before a bright flash of light came from the blade's pommel. The light was bright enough that anything that looked at it would be temporarily blinded for a few seconds. A few seconds was all that was needed. Gildae lept onto the dragon's back, the scales scraping off some more of his skin. He yelled a spell that manifested in right hand, a spell that would make the dragon sleep, and he thrust his hand down onto the raging dragon's back.
