The dragon’s response was infuriating.
It twisted in the air with casual ease, its movements fluid, unhurried—mocking. His talons met nothing but air, as if Noah’s fury was nothing. The dragon twisted and the Sentinel saw it’s whip-like tail coming for him and the memory of what should have been — what would have been, had be been another man — his death coming sharp behind his eyes. He twisted, too, wings tucking in as his body curled and angled out of reach of the assault.
The griffin’s heart thundered, each beat a drum of wrath. His talons, sharp as honed steel, flexed against the wind as his wings drove him back into the fray. Rage roared through him, momentarily drowning reason, as Cordelia’s memory clawed through his mind. To see this beast treat battle as play was unbearable. Every movement it made was a sneer carved into the sky.
Noah would not be dismissed. Not again. With a guttural, savage cry that split the air, he dove and attacked once more for the webbing between wing fingers to bring the dragon down.
2/4
