Could they be any damn slower?!
The stone plating that acted as extra armor against his own and scales that had taken the place of skin to add even more armor rating to his form was beginning to crumble. He nearly lost his footing as both the beast and himself interlocked in a deathly embrace. The male raised his shield above his head, bashing aside the great bear's muzzle as it made an attempt to lunge at his throat. He knew, he knew all too well that if such a blow landed, he would be done.
The air continued to drop as even more ice formed around the pair. Combating that frigid ice was easier said than done, each push and shove nearly having him misstep. Such a mistake could be deadly…and wouldn't ya know it…
Voices, more had come to join the fray?
The distraction was just enough to have him slip his arm, powerful jaws wrapping around in an instant. Despite stone plating, armor, and even scales, those piercing fangs cut through, the full force of those powerful jaws snapping down. The sound that escaped the Dragonkin's maw was something between a human and a primal beast's roar of pain. No way was he getting out of this beast's grip, till another suddenly stepped in, wielding a great scythe. Well, it was enough to get the beast's attention to release him, letting the male roll to the side, cradling a shredded and possibly broken arm.
From above, another being appeared, striking downwards through the icy beast's skull, putting it finally to an end. The animal finally toppled to the ground, the blood unnatural compared to a normal bear's, a clear blue almost, instead of the normal crimson. Well, same could be said for the Dragonkin's own blood…
Cold, yellow eyes darted between the recent arrivals, lips twitching back in a weakened snarl. The adrenaline that was coursing through him was also triggering his primal/draconic instincts; danger, fight back, corner. These were but a few of those more simplistic thoughts. The Dragonkin watched everyone carefully, only knowing that these were all possible threats. No, he needed to calm down, calm himself, he couldn't let the primal nature take control…would be one hell of a report; 'Sorry, crushed a bunch of civilians who triggered me into my dragon form.'
He instead swallowed the growing lump in his throat, taking the time to look over himself. Besides, they all seemed engrossed in each other, it'd maybe give him a chance to calm down and catch his breath.
The Dragonkin started to show more human features again, the once brown and bronze scales disappearing into human flesh again. The rocks had crumbled away, showing broken and torn armor as well as other various inflicted wounds from the struggle. He kept the curved, ram-like horns upon his head, tail limp behind him. His yellow eyes remained cold, pupils thin slits. The male was knelt down on one knee, resting the mangled arm upon his bowed leg.
He lifted a hand, barely running his fingers across it to only release a hiss under his breath, muttering darkly, "Damn't…really did a number on me…the White Sages are gonna have fun patching this up…almost as bad as that time I got caught by that Ridgeback Lamisin…"
