Watched Aelena as she moved off and vanished in and out of sight to move into her position. Despite her shifted form being canidae, she was remarkably adaptive with the nuances of felidae movement. He attributed it to her being an astute learner of the Wintersabers. Then again, Aelena was an astute learner at most everything she studied, the druid's body trembling a bit as his mind drifted to just a few hours prior. Growling away the thoughts, thoughts he promised to recreate later, Iylldrraen noted Aelena's readiness, and the position of their first mark.<br/><br/>This dragon-kin was one of the larger sentries with four hind-legs and two fore-legs. The creature brandished a large staff weapon, and lumbered with hidden agility that both the shaman and druid were quite familiar with. Iylldrraen moved far behind the creature, crawling along the snowy ground to another boulder nearby. His intention was to pounce the creature and tear it's neck open. Once sufficiently hidden behind his prey, Iylldrraen bounded up the boulder and, without losing momentum, launched himself from the edge to crash into the back of the creature, forcing it to topple forward. Even in the fall Iylldrraen's teeth were latched to the dragon-kin's neck, claws hooked firmly to his scaled back and shoulders. He hissed, tasting bitter blood from the creature, but dug deeper, being rewarded with a sudden spray of the vile life fluid.<br/><br/>This wasn't something the druid was proud of; he'd much rather have these powerful dragons as allies, but he knew that was likely to remain an impossibility simply due to their nature. He watched the creature spasm, though it was already dead, pleased that it had not roared upon impact. He ducked low again, in the event that another of the creatures was nearby, and looked around for Aelena. He winced inside, knowing that she had likely seen his attack as well. The thought of his lover, someone he'd poured his love into, watching him take another life, appalled the druid.<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
