((Nice post, Gold.  Definitely worth waiting for.))<br/><br/>The wind howls around the succubus' giant hand, making it hard for Crystal to hear the commotion below and behind them.  Thankfully at least, the succubus giant form doesn't have quite as constricting a grip at her dragon form, though the huge human hand is still more than strong enough to keep her arms pinned at her sides.  The way she's holding her arms out at her sides, it's quite possible to see the succubus' face form Crystal's position.  There's a look of surface determination just barely covering some shock and a whole lot of fatigue.<br/><br/>Despite how the battle looked from Crystal's perspective, the succubus looks like it was a lot closer to her defeat than would be implied.  It's impossible to tell exactly how far they've gone, but the familiar bits of the territory rushing below them make it clear that they are heading back toward the castle.
