((Bedwyr, you realize they're still in the air right? >.> And Brisinger, I was thinking more like 5 or 10 seconds lol they aren't that far away!!))
Sensing his movement at the last moment, Tanith flicked her tail out of the way. She succeeded in avoiding his blow, but she also managed to throw herself off her previously steady line of flight. She swooped, rolled, caught herself, and leveled back out. She roared her fury to the sky and shot another blast of fire at the demon.
Then...what was the boy doing? Yelling? At a flying demon who was chasing them? Seriously? Tanith glanced over her shoulder and saw his form starting to change. No wonder his weight suddenly felt heavier. Into what, she didn't know, but she did know that it was beginning to affect her flying. This would not do. Veraxitoc should be there any second, but one second of slowness was all it would take to get herself hurt or killed. In a split second, she'd decided what she had to do. She lashed her head around, knocking the boy out with her large, scaly head. She flipped over and caught him in her talons as he slid off her back, making a mental note to apologize later. She held him gently, careful not to squeeze too hard, and was relieved that he ceased to get heavier. No longer weighed down, she dove for the ground, then swooped hard to the side, removing herself and her unconscious companion from the demon's like of fire. Again. Veraxitoc should be here by now!
