Only the dead have seen the end of war.
Miss. He had missed the crocodile’s head. And, in his twisting to avoid being singed by flying fire, he felt a sharp twinge in his right knee as he awkwardly landed his massive weight on it. A brief grimace crosses his broad features, though it is swiftly replaced with anger as his eyes fall on the crumpled, white form of the small foal he had met at the Threshold.
He considers going to protect the little one— but she quickly has an entourage of protectors, including Nuray. He is happy to note that the mare is, at least, protecting the foal instead of charging the god. (Despite the fact that he, himself, had done just that.) Though he does note, with sympathy, the bleeding boils on her hide and bright sunburn on her naked skin.
He does not linger long on thoughts, for he had landed unfortunately close to the crocodile’s snapping jaws. Vaguely he feels a burn on his haunches— burned again by friendly fire?! Indeed, some of the well-aimed fire from the antlered pegasus singed the new skin on his haunches. A hiss escapes his thick lips, ears pinning flush against his neck.
Eyes sweep for Rexanna— where was that blasted woman?! She had been walking away— No, she was directly beside the beast, her prior attack missing but bringing her dangerously near the lizard. It was clear she had contracted the Black Lung, as it poured from her nostrils.
For the first time he feels weary of battle. There is so much to lose, already, in this wondrous land. Was this conquest really worth it? This was a horrendously warped echo of his past.
He sweeps this crisis of his soul aside, for it will only get him and his kin killed in battle. Seeing his lead fighting from afar (again, how he wished for magic!) he launches himself toward the left axilla, lowering his horn to pierce the armored skin that protected the beast’s heart. He angled his body to be between the croc’s jaws and Rexanna. At least he could protect her somehow.
