Draiss ignored the mother, staring into the uncomprehending eyes of the wyrmling, and the Thing that lurked in the recesses of the child's mind and body. He got to three, and then made a tossing moment with his right hand, and backed up. "Hey, I am even feeling a bit sporting today, so<strong>I</strong>will even wait until you are fully clear before striking, if you get out now."<br/><br/>He was six steps back now, but still counting down, and snorted in disgust as he counted to zero. He formed the balefire blade on both hands, but before he moved forward four other balefire blades struck. One blade skimmed the wrymlings scales, severing the invisible connections that bound the creature to the hatchling, leaving a bit of the power in it, but no longer connected to the original Beyonder, the child now having power but without being in the thrall of a Beyonder. The blade of balefire did damage some of the scales, but it left the wrymling alive. And caused the creature to 'manifest' above the wrymling, a hideous and screaming blob with thousands of long, thin tendrils that lashed out in pain. Four stumps were still inside the child, but dissolving, down into it. The other three blades struck out, stabbing deep into the screaming abomination, one into the largest mouth, another into its 'abdomen' and the third deep into its chest. All three blades twisted and then ripped to the side, opening the blades as Draiss stepped forward, and grabbed the child, using himself as an energy sink to absorb the massive energy backlash from the severing of part of the creatures' power, and noticed immediately what had allowed this.<br/><br/>He didn't glare at the mother, though he would probably put her through a wall later, and began the process of improving the dying wrymling's body, its immune system and constitution were the worst he had ever seen, likely from a poison at some point, possibly a diluted lotus flower dust, carefully buffing its constitution up to a survivable level, though the boy wrymling would never be as robust as others of its kind. The creature was being taken apart as Draiss' other four personalities continued to work the 'dying' Beyonder over with their balefire blades, and was extremely grateful that most of the witnesses were unconscious from the creature's screaming, it made Draiss want to tear out his own ears, and while the magic disruption field was dampening the worst of the effects, most of the mortals had passed out, only the mother and the eldest male and female golds still conscious and watching as Draiss' 'mortal' personality cut the creature's 'head' in half, finally silencing it and destroying it.<br/><br/>He stood up, and checked the wrymling, and while he would have an interesting coloration from the possession and subsequent exorcism, he would survive. He rubbed his neck, and absorbed the other personalities before they could start arguing like they usually did. He turned and stepped toward the wall, where an observer drone decloaked, before he touched the drone, replaying its recording to see if it had a decent recording of a nearly manifested Beyonder. The magic disruption field died as he stopped concentrating on it, and he could hear the dragons stirring behind him.
