fury and blades

You think I'll be the dark sky Eira, frail and small, sidled up beside Kiada and she smiled warmly down to the small girl. She allowed her in, brushing up against the long fur that the younger child bore, a small tinkering of her armor as she made room and adjusted before the Metus. Suddenly, the Harpy wished she had some other piece of armor, something to help protect her new found friend in this fight. But then, she realized that it was possible to protect the both of them should the Metus attack. She’d spring up her tornadoes, making a wall of flame between the Metus and her, and hopefully that would be the end of it. Either way, she knew that even if she was harmed in the process, she’d do everything she possibly could to make sure that Eira made it out. The child hadn’t said anything, not like Kiada minded. It reminded her of her conversation with Vynter, a colt of little words. Even still, she lowered her head to the filly and offered another gentle encouraging smile from her pink splotched lips. “It’s okay, we’ll do fine I promise.” She said to Eira before turning to the mouth of the cave and stepping with Eira into the mouth of the cave. And suddenly, she spots the Metus as he recoils from her flames. Ah, so the tornadoes would be a great idea. But the Metus stood in a pile of literal bones and Kiada shuddered inwardly at the sight, a grimace overcoming her previous smile to the girl. She stared, daring a step closer to completely encase herself in his domain, her hooves crunching on smaller bones the further she stepped in, cringing at the sound it made. If the Metus couldn’t see, he could certainly hear them. Her flames grew brighter, the griffons wavering and shifting between the winged beasts and tiny mice, but she refused to acknowledge her fear of him – not with the child present. “Come and get us!” She yelled out to him, bracing herself and Eira should she have followed. If the Metus attacked, she’d toss up her tornadoes in between and hope that would be the end of it and this task on her trial would be complete. "Talk." so you can be the star? — I'll swallow you whole. Kiada
