You know what's strange?

Gaucho doesn't swear.

If he did, as his luxuriously long tail was being singed by the creatures' hot breath, he might have been thinking FUCK FUCK FUCK! Instead however, his mind was void of emotion or frantic peril - a trait that someone like Sohalia might have thought extremely boring and would surely try her patience - but was at the root of his very being. Gaucho did not panic, he simply reacted.

The heat from the creatures' breath, while painful, also enabled him to fly upwards faster, as he used the hot thermals created directly beneath him, to his advantage. As he soared up, gently gliding around, he could make out the distinct form of a much smaller dragon, flying directly into one of his spirit-eagles, which appeared to have turned suddenly malicious. As his own massive bulk glided through one - instead of feeling the hot burn from having his flesh torn from the things talons, he merely felt cold, as if devoid of life itself. Grunting, and shaking himself in midair, Gaucho tried to rid himself of the odd feeling, but found that the coolness had seeped into his bones, creating a mentally numbing of his entire body.

Hissing frantically as Gaucho began to fall in mid air, the snake wobbled in his antlers, as if trying to use the magically affixed appendages like a great steering wheel. Our of the corner of her beady black eyes, she could see Ampere trying to attack the creature's eye, and tried to force Gaucho's bulk in that direction. With slow moving limbs, the bay's black wings indeed began to turn, as if mentally commanded by the snake at the helm. As he plummeted, half falling and half flying towards the opposing eye socket that Ampere was attacking, he watched the large massive bulk of Vikram attack the creature's face as well, before twisting in flight over its back. As the dark duo neared, Mara opened her jaws wide, letting her sickly poison spill from her fangs hopefully into the creatures eye. As Gaucho reached within striking distance, he mimicked Ampere, attempting to attack its right eye with his outstretched hooves.

[Gets singed by the creature. Tries to hit it's opposing eye (right), while Mara tries to spit/drip poison into the eye as well.]
