Maea
Kissing him back, she could taste the lingering dread on his tongue. A quiet kind of venom that could break a man if allowed to fester, one she wished she could vanquish from his heart as easily as she'd spoken those brave words. But she couldn't. Much like a rider after taking a bad tumble must get back up on the horse again, the only thing that would bolster Liam's confidence would be to lay a plan, go through with it, and come out on the other side, unscathed. Vowing to herself that the only injuries she'd sustain today would be self-inflicted, she hummed her agreement against his lips, and let him go. "I love you. Let's go."
Turning away from her lover and her companion, Maea began making her way down the hill. Angling her path so that she approached the lial from behind, she crouched low and slipped from crag to boulder to rocky outcropping. The air grew hot. A taste of metal upon her tongue reminded her to pick her path carefully, so that their taunts would lead the creature away from the lava. They might be fine, but Liam would not be.
Once she had it within reach of her magic, the ancient finally allowed herself to give in to her hunger. Sinking her teeth deep into one arm she drew out the power dwelling within her blood and flung it all upon the dozing creature. It woke with a furious rumble and cast about wildly, searching for its tormentor, but Maea ducked down behind a crag in the ground with velvet skirts of her armor pooling around her feet like a puddle of ink - intending to stay hidden until Liam was in place.
The signal was passed to Shii by way of the pain pulsing down their bond. From hovering idly near the former dragoon's shoulder, the wisp suddenly flared up, glowing bright as a torch for a moment; then it sped away, pausing only to ensure that the man was coming. They had work to do, protecting the stubborn woman they both cared so much about.
