It was a long night, claw and fang clashed, flame and fire burned hot before the battle was ended and the invaders dead or fleeing, but it was not without cost. Even with all his power and thick scales the drakes claws cut deep, rending flesh on his flank, causing his blood to flow freely, sapping his warmth during the cold flight home.

As Aubryana flew homeward he saw her glow in the distance, Lunali rushing towards him, worry and anguish clear on her face as she comes near. Both of them swoop toward the ground together, as Aubryana lands he can feel the spike of pain through his side, nearly collapsing as a leg gives way, Lunali landing at his side quickly moving to the open wound both herself and her magic illuminating the nearby forest with a soft healing cyan. Slowly Aubryana wraps his wing around her, curling his body protectively even as she heals him.

It's such a soft, warm feeling, to feel one you love's light touch, her magic binding his torn flesh. Aubryana’s eyes feel heavy, her magic so unlike his own it's touch warm compared to the cold of his own, almost like Lunali was lulling him to rest. He watches her as she closes the wound, hugging her to him with his wing, even injured wanting to protect her always.

A wonderful gift from the lovely Lunali
