Iylldrraen was growling and panting as they dashed through the wilds of Winterspring, snow kicking up around them, their breath puffs of condensation. The ground sped under their padded paws, as though it were attempting to aid in their escape from the dragonkin. Every lunge the ground was there to catch him perfectly, every dash allowed a distracting burst of snow to launch up behind them. It was as though this land knew their plan, knew that they were working in its favor, and now the land was doing all it could to help them.<br/><br/>The dragons didn't make their retreat easy, however, flying well over them in vicious pursuit. This was the plan, however; not to lose them, but to guide them to the goblins. Thankfully, the outpost was not far, and they could already make out the perimeter walls. Felled trees had been perfectly placed the night before against one section of wall next to some boulders, which was exactly where Iylldrraen was rushing towards. Most of the dragons would not be agile enough to pursue them, except the whelps, and would desperately seek out the main entrance.<br/><br/>The druid glanced over, making eye contact with Aelena one last time before they were too close to pull back, and soon they were soaring through the air and over the wall, several frost blasts flying dangerously close to them. Thankfully, whelps were not so accurate in attacking moving targets. Landing out of sight on the other side, Iylldrraen took the lead as they quickly darted into a building to detach the magically enchanted stones. A few goblins had the misfortune of being present, which were quickly dealt with.<br/><br/>The gruesome sounds of battle already rang loud outside, and Iylldrraen paused to offer Aelena a toothy smile. They weren't safe just yet though, knowing that the dragons would be entering the building shortly. The two were off again, sticking to the darker corners of the outpost. They knew that the main entrance would not be a viable escape, so they met up where Rivern had instructed them. The roof of a particular building was perfect for two spry tigers to leap from and into several trees.<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
