"Finally decided to join the party, huh?!" Aeron inquired as he cut another demon down, spinning around until his back faced Alexis'. The odds really weren't in their favor, but that was how he preferred it. Spending years on his own working for The High Command had made him adept at fighting with a number's disadvantage. And, while he didn't know how to exactly describe it, he knew he fought better when under pressure. It was both exciting and terrifying, and it constantly spurred him on.
But, even he knew it was possible for them to become overrun. There just... So many. And it felt like whenever he cut one down, two more popped up in its place. It was frustrating; not just physically, but also mentally. Aeron had never been extremely pious, but he figured if what he's doing was for the sake of the Old Gods, the least they could do was throw him a bone and help him out.
'Hello? Beam of fire from the sky? Something? A little help here?' He inquired mentally, wondering if his thoughts were even capable of reaching Prothos. Or was it Pophis? He really sucked when it came to names.
Ducking low, he spun and cut another demon in two before his eyes landed on Frazer.
'That's the Black Rose guy... Isn't it?' He pondered, not exactly sure. He could have sworn he had met him before. Ah, he'd deal with it later. For now, he had to focus on not dying. Maybe the guy would lend them a hand - or rather, a blade or two.
It'd certainly help.
Though, before Aeron could call out to Frazer a screech ripped through the air and everything seemed to stop. Standing, Aeron quickly looked around as he attempted to identify the source of the cry before a shadow passed overhead and a smile passed over his face.
"You Gods can go fuck yourselves." Aeron muttered under his breath as the dragon landed on top of the temple. It wasn't one of the large beasts that could eclipse an entire town, as most usually fantasized them as. But rather, it was about a good 5 feet taller than Aeron with a body as wide as a carriage. Its scales were a sickly pale white, much like the demons the duo had been facing, and its throat glowed orange like a furnace.
"Hey..." Aeron muttered under his breath, getting Alexis' attention as the dragon reared its head back and its throat began to glow brighter. Oh. He knew what this was. He'd seen this before. Grabbing Alexis' arm, he ran towards the temple, straight to the dragon as he fell to the ground, pulling the Templar with him.
As soon as the duo hit the ground, the dragon opened its maw and spewed out flames. Rolling onto his back, Aeron stared wide-eyed as the blue flames consumed the demons and the landscape.
"Aw, shit." Aeron cursed as the dragon leaped from atop the temple to the ground. Roaring, the dragon surveyed the damage it had done, killing a majority of the Dark God's thrall. A low grumble rose from its throat as it was almost pleased with the destruction it had caused before it lowered its head and looked to the Legionnaire and Templar, having not noticed Frazer yet.
"I don't think we're getting out of here without killing that bastard..." Aeron commented as he slowly stood, grabbing his sword. "You ever killed a dragon before?"
