Boy and dragon had been hunting as a pair for years now, and today was no different even if their prey was new. The formerly-white dragon - now grey from the ash in the air - spiraled down to land a little ways off in front of the lava wyrm, drawing its attention while Tal ghosted on silent feet across the hardened lava of the Crust behind it. Boreal grumbled a curious greeting to the little creature who responded with a sizzling hiss and an arched back, sparks and little lava droplets fizzing off it.
It must have sensed the movement behind it because it started to turn, but Boreal puffed a jet of fire at it to keep its attention on her. It spat right back, but the interaction gave Tal time to get into position so that when the dragon hopped towards the little wyrm, startling it to shift back into gooey lava and leap backwards away from the playful reptile, it landed directly into the thick, heavy ceramic pot that Tal dove to slide under it. He brought the lid down and snked the catch into place, grinning proudly as he leaned forward to knock his forehead against Boreal's in victory. "One down, three to go!" he informed her before sliding a net made of black iron links form his bag around the rocking pot and lifting it as they began to hunt for their next lava wyrm.
