Battle: Dragon Vs Dragons

The Waiting That Kills
Though it had been a few days since Steelica's latest appearance, non of the villagers had gotten any rest, out of fear that the dragon would attack in the night. The only real defence they had against her was the 4 strangers that had approached them earlier that week. The 4 dragons, Terra, Nidia, Wottryon, and there elder Jelonghoul stood guard over the village, waiting for there clash with the rouge dragon.

After a few passes over the village, Wottryon landed in a clearing next to the others. "No sign of her." the others pondered this for a moment before Wottryon said. "No disrespect master, but what are the chances that she got the message the first time?"

The old dragon thought for a moment. "I suppose it's possible, but I can't really say for sure." He looked down to the dragon turned humans Terra and Nidia sitting on a rock next to him. "What do you two think?"

"I think we need to go out and find her before she gets away, but would anyone listen to me? NOOO!" Nidia said bitterly, pouting as she turned and crossed her arms. She'd been like this ever since Jelonghoul had rejected her idea the day Steelica had first approached the village while they were occupying it.

"Fighting will not bring closer to any of the villagers, they'll only see dragons fighting dragons, something we're trying to avoid Nidia" Terra replied as she looked over to Jelong, "We need a different solution that doesn't involve us trying to kill her".

Jelonghoul looked back up at the sky again. "Not as our first option at least. We aren't warmongers like the others." He said with a hint of resentment in his voice, something the other three dragons had never herd from him before. Though he smirked to himself and glansed back down at Nidia. "And yes Nidia, had we chosen a different course of action, things would have turned out different.

Nidia puffed out her cheeks, "Don't treat me like a child Jelong," she said rather childishly. "Anyway," she continued, "How much longer do you think we should wait. She might never come back willingly. We should at least start planning all the possible scenarios and a way to counter those that don't turn out so fell."

"I think it's something more, sure I get that this land is rich in minerals, but to want all of it, there must be something more to this than we originally thought" She replied while looking over to the horizon, "What if we went to see her, ask her why she was doing this?"
