Victory.
It sang through him and surged through every muscle like electricity. An eruption of his rage and frustration blooming into something that might have felt sinister to the Sentinel on any other day. But this, this felt like justice and revenge and holy vengeance. Noah basked in the feeling as it pushed him over the edge of glory. Blood like paint splattered across his white fur and feathers, mixing copper and iron into the sea-salt air.
He aimed for another assault, but faltered. The black’s hind foot struck out for him and knocked him to the side. He lost traction in the sky and found himself spinning downwards. He tried to right himself without the wind ripping his wings off, but even as he did he felt the strain of it. His glacier eyes darted around for the dragon, and when he pumped his wings to get back to it, it changed.
Not attuned.
But not wholly dragon.
Her body shrunk, black scales lightening to near-translucent skin.
No!
Panic, raw and cold and devastating, smacked against Noah’s heart like chunks of glacier falling into the sea. He pushed and pushed, trying to close the distance between them as she fell. He screamed her name across the attuned bond even though he knew she couldn’t hear it.
4/4
