He could focus fine, but he knew so far he wasn't even partially completed with his objective since he hadn't met anyone. That meant until that happened, he could divide his attentions between other things going on in the necropolis-like ruins of this massive temple and the surrounding area. And that meant every few feet, he'd spot a scurrying critter, or a piece of history. He was in no rush. Not until he found someone at least. And he didn't feel threatened in the slightest.<br/><br/>He was confident he could handle anything that he came across, if he even came across anything in the first place. When he came to a four way street junction, he slithered up a wall like a gecko and perched on top of a halfway crumbled building. He put his nose to the air and his forked tongue flicked out between his lips. He could smell some of the other students. The twins from before. The witch with the talking hat. And armor. He smelled armor. He couldn't tell exactly where they were though, as the ancient smells of the temple were still powerful and extremely varied. He could have sensory overload if he tried too hard to focus on any one thing. He could hear echoes of conversations as well.<br/><br/>It was tempting to go find them. It probably would make things easier. Before he could decide on anything though, he heard<em>"Fireball!"</em>carried on the wind, and then a fireball soared skyward, only to turn into a massive explosion that ignited at the treeline nearby where he was. The shockwave reached even him, ruffling his clothes and causing his second pair of eyelids to instinctively close. "Guess my choice was made for me!" Aphelion's voice was anxious and excited, and in moments his wings were fully extended and he was flapping into the air.<br/><br/>That bird received a glare from him, but he didn't bother it, instead deciding to fly pretty low over the buildings toward the explosion. He sniffed the air as he tore through the sky, but at this point all he could smell was fire and flame. He arrived at the girls location just as the Roc was getting destroyed. He saw a fleeting glimpse of the frozen creature, and then she was shattered. Coming to a stop in the air, he looked at the flames still burning in the trees. Well if they weren't stopped, the whole damn forest would burn down.<br/><br/>So he took a deep breath for nearly a minute, then aimed at the trees and blew hard, belching out a whirling cone of wind that blew the fires right out. Turning on his wings, Aphelion swooped down and dropped to the ground to land on all fours, then stood up and looked at the two gathered girls. "Nice signal flare. I'm Aphelion. Good to meet you both," he said as he slowly walked forward with a fanged smile. His tail slowly whipping back and forth behind him while his wings folded over his shoulders like a cloak.
