A powerful sweep of his tail brings it up and out of Scifer's range of attack, then in a flash whips it against him, sending him flying before the blades have time to find purchase on his scales. He looks around quickly for anyone else who was close enough to be a problem, then spreads his wings and prepares to fly off with Jon, Cecil, Alice and No'Coure all in his possession. The taste of energy soon reaches his tongue, close enough to magic for his natural ability to sense it to kick in, and he quickly casts a binding curse on Jon, followed rapidly by another to cap his energy levels at a rather more normal level.
