TANDAVI & NATRAJ
we walked a lonely road
beneath the fire of a thousand suns

Not only does she fail- she fails miserably, her efforts as ever falling short; all the girl can do is watch in horror as the beast of fire slips through the space, its licking heat striking her face with the force of a furnace, unforgiving and deadly. Copper child retreats from its force, ears pinned back and face slick with sweat. Her eyes dart quickly to the fillies she has so dismally failed to defend, to her cousin, to the others.

By the time she looks back, they are surrounded by fire.

And not just fire- faces leer through the rising flames, hungry and searching, predatory and wild. Fear grips tight at the girl's heart- the wall is complete, unbroken, surrounding them all and, it feels, closing in. But the maiden's terror followed quickly by a steel resolve- she is the Fire Dancer, after all, a creature of embers and acolyte of the Sun. Hasn't she seen worse than this? Lived through darkness- what, after that, is some excess light? In a moment the girl seems to shift, neck straightening, back lengthening, passion blooming ardent in her copper breast. And then the shift continues, scales and wings rising from a copper back - and Yael's magic is in her veins, and the girl is an equine no more.

Instead of a horse, a great copper dragon stands where the Fire Dancer once was. "Don't be afraid," she says to the fillies, to the assembled group, to herself, her voice dark deep as it slithers through sharpened teeth. She steps toward the wall of flame, black eyes bright and challenging. "If you can fly over, fly high- if you can't..." she looks at Maude, at Amaris, at Reichenbach, a silent request for faith in her gaze. "We'll jump through. I can heal any wounds, once we're on the other side."

She has never taken authority before, and it feels strange, heavy on her tongue. Perhaps nobody will heed her- but maybe they will. Regardless, she readies herself, trying to operate her new wings without too much awkwardness, hoping at least some others are doing the same. Embers leap around her draconic body - clean embers, her own magic, ready to jump out and heal at a moment's notice. She no longer cares about preserving the grass. There are more important things at stake.

"Ready?" the Fire Dancer cries. "One, two... three!"

She spreads her wings, hoping to form some sort of wall, to push away the flames, willing to burn for those she loves. Natraj is hunched in the space of her shoulders, curled up tight in self defense. Her body leaps quickly through the biting fire, wings pushing down to force it out of her wake; as soon as she lands she spins around, black eyes searching for signs of the others, bright heart pounding wildly in her chest.

Tandavi uses Yael's magic to turn into a dragon, then leaps through the flames, trying to clear a path and encouraging everyone else to do the same. She'll also heal anyone who gets burnt <3
