Sohalia surges forward, her body folding into the shape of a pegasus mid-gallop; wings unfurl in a flash of white and gold as she drives upward through the rain. Mud spatters her hooves as she kicks off from the sodden ground, rising toward the behemoth’s head. She connects squarely, her hooves cracking against the creature’s sludgy temple and sending ripples through its semi-liquid form. The thing reels, one of its glowing eyes collapsing inward like a popped bubble. Alas, she doesn't quite have the movement to avoid what comes next.
Below, Noah flares his wings, beating the air to pull the monster’s attention back to him. Fire gathers at the back of his throat, a hot pulse in the mist, before he releases it in a searing gout aimed low. The flames hit true, drying and cracking its slick hide...but they also lick upward in wild tongues, catching Sohalia. The edge of the blast brushes her flank, singing through wet feathers with a hiss.
Before she can recover altitude, Maea wheels overhead again, diving through the mist. Her dragonfire streaks brilliantly across the clearing, white-orange against the rain. The flame slams into the behemoth’s back, hardening its surface into blackened clay—and unfortunately, the wide arc of her attack clips Sohalia again. The pegasus vanishes briefly in the glare, the air thick with smoke and steam as the monster thrashes beneath them.
Astaroth, steady on the ground, uses the chaos to his advantage. Shadows coil around his arm as Bloodbane flares once more; the weapon bites into the creature’s torso, dark corruption spreading through the already-brittle mud. The behemoth lets out a guttural roar that rattles the trees, part agony, part fury.
For a heartbeat, the clearing glows with steam and embers. The behemoth’s molten eyes narrow on Sohalia given her proximity, still bright against the darkened air. With a convulsive heave, it tears two boulders from its own body and flings them skyward. The first smashes into her side mid-ascent, bursting into wet shrapnel and knocking her momentarily off balance. The second sails wide, exploding harmlessly against a tree and showering the ground with debris.
Through the rising heat and swirling rain, it’s clear there were cleaner shots available—plenty of open angles where Noah’s and Maea’s fire could have struck without catching the pegasus in the blaze or other attacks they might have utilized. But battle has a way of collapsing reason into instinct, and for now, the monster still stands—cracked, steaming, furious—as its attackers regroup amid smoke and rain.
