Blue and Red Protectors
The light and heat of red flames clashed against the stone wall of one of the buildings. It’s embers fell like snow across the large Dragonair’s back and ignited against the ground, only to be swept away by the Dragonair’s swift dodging. Under and around each wave of flame that shot from the Flareon’s maw. A wave of her own blue flames clashed against those shots she knew she could not evade.
She inched closer with every burn she escaped. Her jeweled tail flanking the Flareon’s glowing maw with a resounding hit, sending his next burst of flame spreading onto the ground beside him. He recovered quickly, jumping back only to be brought back into the Dragonair’s range. With her tail wrapped securely around his leg, she yanked him skyward only to bring him slamming back down onto the hardened ground. Her head loomed over his fallen body as the heat of blue flame rained down on the Flareon. His captured foot kicked and struggled for it’s freedom but she would not let go. Even as the shower of flame ate at his fur, he lined up his maw and release another pillar of flame at his own foot. The blaze engulfed the dragon’s tail, charring it black while leaving the Flareon’s foot almost untouched.
The Dragonair finally release him but her rain of fire did not stop, even as he jumped away the flames scorched the ground in his escape path. The Flareon puffed a breath of hot air and smoke from his maw. He hardly had time to collect himself before her flames were upon him again. Yet he mustered the strength to meet her flames with his own. Embers from both sides lit the ground their owner’s colors as the flames clashed with a furnace’s roar. The dragon started to waver, the limits on her flame at it’s end. She preemptively let her stream of fire die, his pillar of fire grazing past her head.
“Why do you delay me?” She did not respond to Warren’s call, his maw adding breaths of ash to the already smoke filled air. “You protect one that’s not your own while yours may be burning inside that building!”
“You know nothing of my daughter’s fate.” The serpent hissed, but over it’s cry and the cackling flames around them, a thunderous crash sounded. She turned to the flames engulfing the yard and there stood a beast. It’s body a bloody red that dripped to the ground, hissing in the heat of the coals below it’s feet. “Lords above.” She turned back to her opponent only to find his tracks on the other side of the high fence, “Damn... Red, be safe.” There was little she could do to catch up to the fire type now.
She moved her body between each high flame, around to the back of the building the beast had crawled out from. Fear ran up her spine as to what she may find, but hope in finding her daughter drove her courage forward.
