[Heal Tara 4+0=4 Esme 20+0=20]<br/><br/>As Tara tried to inspect the body from that angle and distance, she couldn't notice any hints that there was still a breath of life in there. Esme on the other hand could notice some of the muscles shivering, indicating that he was at least still breathing, though barely.<br/><br/>The calmness portrayed by the clear blue sky that was visible ahead of the two ladies and the sounds of the slight breeze that ran over the hilltop and the forest animal around them was in sheer contrast with the panic and chaos they escaped from earlier.<br/><br/><hr/>Ilynara had been watching the scene fromt the safety of the forest. She had noticed earlier that two maidens made it deeper into the woods. Four others found their path blocked by a knight, one sent to the ground by the flat of his sword. Most of the other maidens had already perished one way or another, though she also noticed one being dragged into the forest by two soldiers, more south of her own position. The soldiers had fled the scene, those brave enough to stand their ground died in gulfs of fire, save only for the knight in front of her. Unfortunately, their corpses were out there in the field, and accessing their weapons might prove a dangerous task by now.<br/><br/>As Dara looked around her, the only way of escape she could notice was the one between the trees, and she had to get there fast! Lessly and Dara barely cleared the place before the dragon's breath scorched the ground, incinerating the ravenhaired maiden, who's only fortune was that she was unconscious already. For a moment, it looked like the dragon was crashing himself into the ground, but it  proved more agile than that. Turning at the last moment, they could feel the currents of air jerking at their clothes, as it changed course to pursuit the knight. The horse in its claws was struggling and buckling for all it was worth, foam besetting it's mouth, panic in it's eyes.<br/><br/>The blonde maiden noticed the elf watching the scene, and quickly ran towards her, sweating all over, her eyes begging for help. Lessly and Dara could also notice the elven maiden, from a small distance.
