THE FLAMES OF BRAZIL | THAYER, XZAV, CLAIRE |

[ELI VINCENT DIASTONE]

OOC: This is set before Claire's power up and Axel's possessionish stuff. Oh, and before 'I Want To Play A Game'.

In a slightly dirtier state, Eli slashed his blade through the long bushy leaves. With the beautiful sun, exotic plants and animals and basically being in a country that is a one stop place to chill, Eli thought his first time to Brazil would be better then this. It seemed the Ariel left out some treatment details, like the fact that they were being watched by demons the whole plane ride and were living in a curtain-strung hut in the forests. It was great, getting in touch with nature. But he felt like he was going to fit. They hadn't found the dragon yet, it was hot as shit and Eli seriously didn't know how something so big is so undetectable in a forest. Their should be loud roaring ques, not a stealthy lizard. If it was even here was getting hard to figure out. Ariel probably sent him on a wild-goose chase for fun, sick bitch! Sweat poured off of him as he took a drink from his canteen, standing in front of the group.

Smelling the air, he caught something. Burning. Burning dragon breath, or a camp fire for the natives. He didn't know, but that was all he could catch anyways. It was hot, he was tired and right now all he wanted was a dragon scale. Looking around the scenery, he saw beautiful growths but no - no dragon. Sighing, he looked back at the people. An incubus, a witch and a super dude; who would have thunk. Breathing slightly heavily, ready to probably give Claire a piggy-back, he wipped the sweat off of his forehead. "Okay guys, no dragon yet. It has to be here somewhere though. Claire, can't you just say a few words and POOF, we at the dragon?". He asked exhaustedly as he listened for her words. It would help, but his sister was probably not that powerful just yet. I mean, she kicks ass, but he still got to play protective of her, to make sure no one hurts her. So turning back, he started moving again. Come on Mr Dragon, come on!

[Claire Diastone]

Sweating like she couldn't even believe and trying to ignore the heat as good as possible, Claire followed behind Eli through the long bushy leaves of the forest they were in. She had hoped that being under all those trees and the canopy that it would be less hot than it was now, but she couldn't say that this was really the image she had gotten into mind when Eli had told her about this and asked her help, even though he didn't really have to ask to begin with, of course she'd help him if she got the chance.

So while it was already so bloody hot, they still had to find the damn dragon, something Claire had honestly expected to either be totally obviously already by now, come on, how hidden can a freaking dragon be? Or that this Ariel chick that this was all for with Eli was just sending them out here to die in this forest and have some laughs for herself or something. She sighed as she took another sip of her canteen of water and then as she closed it increased her pace slightly again. Soon after she swiped her arm and hand around her head for a moment against some of the insects that were bugging and some of them even creeping the hell out of her, Eli should know that especially the kind of bugs that you found her just creeped her out.

When they seemed to make a stop, Claire sighed as she leaned on her knees but then found a spot to sit down as good as possible and close her eyes for a moment. 'Thank God...' She mumbled before grunting because of some insects flying around her again and looking at Eli, because she was here for him, she didn't know what to think of the others if she had to be honest. 'Eli! You're killing me you know that? I barely feel my legs anymore... Well, not that I feel much anyway with this heat...' She said as she knew Eli would catch on pretty quickly most likely that she was over exaggerating, but a little bit was true of it anyway, and she was getting tired as Hell like this. She frowned in surprise when she heard his question toward her and then pushed herself up again but then sat back down with a sigh. 'Shush, you really think that if I could I would have let us walk around like this? Having been bitten by I don't know how many bugs and different ones? So... No, not really, I would need quite some time for the right spell, and even then it would be tricky, we could end up right in front of the dragon, if it even worked, and it could burn us to crisp before you could even thank me, or we could just end up inside of it's belly already, or even inside of a wall.' She told him a little extensively about a lot of the reasons why she couldn't but then gave him a short apologetic look that it was just this heat, the bugs and not having found that damn dragon yet was just really frustrating her.

[xzavier Michael Evans]

Xzavier could think of a million reasons why this trip was a bad idea, and right now, the cons were definitely outweighing the pros. This little mission was against everything he stood for. There was Eli who was….well….half vampire. Eli the guy that had almost killed his brother, Axel. Eli the guy who was also dating his brother, Axel, something that Xzavier also didn’t agree with one bit. Then there was Thayer. Also yet another dude who tried to kill well both of his brothers and was an incubus. Taking the advice of Ariel, that was another mistake there. Hart Enterprises was neutral which meant that this could very easily be a trap. However, he also knew the mindset of Ariel, and she wasn't joking when she told Eli that she wouldn't think twice about turning Axel in for killing the police officer. So it was still debatable if this was a suicide mission. But the fact that Xzavier had gotten to this point of being willing to work with the enemy was making him feel dirty and very irritated with himself. But as much problems as Axel and Xzavier went through, Xzavier knew that everyone made mistakes including Axel. And he needed to make sure this was fixed even if it did mean he had to work with the enemies. The only thing he was okay with out of this whole mission was Claire who was good and an ally of Everette which meant that she was an ally of Xzavier’s. But he had to set his differences aside for the cause, although about now he was thinking of ways that he could have worked around this scenario right here. But it was a little late to turn back now. I mean hell, they were in a forest smack dab in the middle of Brazil! There was no turning back at this point. So, he’d have to stick it out. But it was getting hard with all of the complaining going on. And he hated the fact that he was not in charge. It seemed that Eli had taken the reins and that was just not Xzavier’s idea of a successful and tactical mission.

Xzavier’s contemplations about this situation were interrupted by a comment by Eli about Claire possibly using her mojo, much like what Everette was capable of, to try to find the dragon. Xzavier glanced over at Eli. ”Why? You were doing so good using your spider senses to take us around in circles. Keep going. I really feel we are getting somewhere.” Xzavier said with much sarcasm as he lifted the front of his green t-shirt to wipe the sweat from his face. Starting something was definitely not the thing to do at this moment, but Xzavier was stubborn, and it was about time Eli realized that Xzavier wasn’t going to keep playing this follow the leader game. It wasn’t long before Claire chimed in and added her two cents in which were good two cents. Xzavier could tell she didn’t want to be here either, and she wasn’t really happy with the situation, but she felt that she needed to be here for her brother. That Xzavier could definitely relate to. He would do anything for his brothers….including go on this annoying operation to help Axel. ”Don’t worry. Bugs don’t eat much. It’s the dragon you have to worry about. Now that? That could cause a problem.”

[Thayer Jaime Gallager-Hart]

After the night in the cemetery, Thayer wanted to take a break from lessons from Emery a bit, it was all too much to handle, finding out his mother’s death, finding out his father was dead before he was born he didn’t need more bad news, but there came his former roommate, Eli, wanting his help, Axel never really told Eli that Thayer tried to attack him but Thayer did feel guilty about it now that he thought about it. But who would have thought, him trying to help Eli would mean he was going to be in the middle of nowhere in one of the biggest countries in the world, one of the four biggest countries to be exact in the middle of the forest. But here he was, all dirty, being attacked by a load of bugs and complaints all over the place; Thayer wasn’t going to complain, though. He just followed the pack, though he could tell there were a bunch of emotions all over the place everyone seemed like they were here for different reasons. But he had to agree with Claire, who he met for the first time. “I know you want to find the dragon Eli, but I think we should take a break, we could really use the rest a bit, well Claire certainly needs it” he said, looking at the tired Claire who was basically looking for a place to sit. Though, he was dead hungry, he needed to feed, it’s been so long since he fed on anyone. They may need food and water, he needed someone to drain dry.

He stood there, wiping the sweat off his forehead, though it seemed a break my not be an option at this point, Eli wanted to find the Dragon while Xzavier wanted the same, but mostly wanted to get away from all of them. Thayer wasn’t saying much to Xzavier at all, he just kept his distance and didn’t say much too him. Xzavier was much bigger than and probably not as nice as his brothers and after the interaction Thayer had with Everett and Axel, Xzavier wasn’t going to invite him for a drink anytime soon. But there he was, he was talking about how dangerous the dragon could be, then it just dawn down on Thayer, what the hell was he going to do if they did find a dragon, he was no Vampire, he was no witch, he certainly wasn’t an Xzavier, maybe it was a good thing they didn’t find a dragon yet, while he ponders that. “Well, we’d have to find a dragon to know now wouldn’t we?” Thayer responded to Xzavier with a bit sarcasm in his voice, though, he did stay close to Claire a bit, just in case Xzavier wasn’t to happy with his respond. He could use Claire as a shield.

Though he did have to admit, it was hot, it was really hot and he was running out of energy and water wasn’t cutting it for him. Plus the battle of dominance was getting a bit on his nerve. He knew everyone wanted to find this dragon but it just seemed, Xzavier wasn’t one of those to take orders well, especially someone who was a vampire, or well part vampire, he’s been doing some research on the Evan’s brothers, and he knows all about their families and Thayer was still surprise Eli was even alive considering the Evan’s family hunting history. But Thayer had enough and decided to grab a seat himself near Claire, who was probably the most sane person of the bunch here while they figured out if they were walking in circles or not.

[ELI VINCENT DIASTONE]

I know what you're thinking right; what an unlikely team? Crazy really? There was Claire, Eli's cute and innocent sister that could complain like a son'ova - - and then there was Xzavier. Yeah, but the looks he was getting he was totally feeling the love. Was it because he was some crazy vampire thing, or was it because of Axel. Because Eli was gay, and had strong feelings for his brother and he didn't know how to deal with that? Was he that much of a fucking guy? At his comment, he shrugged it off and turned his attention to the others. But Claire had a point, they had to do this by foot. They were going to have to be sly enough as it was, but he had a kind of plan set up. A key component; Thayer. He knew what Thayer did, not only to Axel but to Ev too - but he had to look past it. He wanted to find his mother for shits sake, what could he say about that? They were safe anyways, so he tried to see past it - for now. He needed Thayer's gifts to make this work, he just kind of hoped that Thayer was feeling hungry.

"Bear, I know. The bugs suck but apparently half-dead blood doesn't seem to fucking scrumptious, but we have to get this. If we don't, Axel will go away for a long time". He said as he then looked to Xzavier with eye-contact. "And I don't want that to happen, do you?". Talk about harsh. But it was true. Ariel had him by the nuts with this. She had the power, she had the power to crush Axel, and then the brothers. So they had to stick together, they had to be smart and they had to listen to Eli. He had an idea, and their was a reason why he got these specific few. "The dragon is around here somewhere. And when we find it, I need you guys to act fast. Me and Xzavier are the muscle, we will get the scale. Claire, did you get the water magical things, because we will need it to try and control the dragon's fire as much as possible. But key is - Thayer. You can like put a persuasion over things right, like like of appeal to something 'wild side', we need that, and to try and drain as much chi from this thing as possible to try and mellow it out. Now, we just need to find a way to find it. Which is easier said than -". The vicious whip of the dragons tail hit him from behind. Like a 10 inch radius tail, it smashed him in the back. Yelling, he launched over the 'team', and smack bang into the ground. His blade fell - somewhere and now he was toppled through the long leaves, onto the ground and feeling like blended crap! Okay, plan was hitting a minor glitch. But it could work; right?

[Claire Diastone]

Oh great, now they were going to bitch against each other! Come on, she was the little sister here, of course she had the right to bitch, she hated these kind of heats, but mostly she hated these damn bugs surrounding her and she was really starting to contemplate the possibility of just using her magic against them or something, but they were here for bigger "fish" and she was pretty sure she would need all the energy and power that she had. 'Xzavier right?' She asked first as she looked at him, wanting to make sure she had the right name and pronounced it the right way. 'Believe me, I'm all for sarcasm normally, but right now, it's not going to work if we all go use it against each other.' She tried to tell him before she looked at Thayer and couldn't help but roll her eyes at this comment about needing the rest, or that she really needed one. 'You are true, but next time would you mind not making it sound like I'm weak or just because I'm a girl?' She asked him with a smile as she cocked her head to the side.

Claire actually laughed then for a moment, realizing the comment Xzavier made about the bugs in comparison to the dragon, but she shrugged her shoulders and gave him a smile and a wink. [color=Purple['Probably yes, but ask Eli, I'm actually a pretty big fan of dragons, because they're so awesome, that's why I didn't even agree to this at first, but anything for my brother right?'[/color] She asked as it wasn't sarcasm but she meant it, even the part about the dragon. She looked next to her again toward Thayer, because next to Eli and Xzavier, she trusted him the least of all of them, and she kind of had the feeling that if she let her guard down next to him, and he needed a little snack, she might be a victim of it, not that Eli would hopefully let him, but she couldn't say she felt really comfortable with him being here, or staying so close to her either.

If this was going to get any more with these guys, she was seriously going to suggest taking over the lead or something, at least hopefully they would more easily listen to her instead of keep making those remarks toward each other, which made her roll her eyes again in response to it. 'Guys, can we please keep the battle for testosterone to a minimum?' She asked before looking at Eli because of what he asked her then. 'Do you seriously have to ask? But we should use them wisely, I couldn't make too much in the time I had, besides, it's not too easy to make these things you know.' She explained to Eli mostly as she padded with her hand on the bag she had on her back. She was just getting up when she saw the tail of the dragon coming out of no where and hitting Eli who then launched over them in response to it smack into the ground. 'Damn it! Claire muttered to herself as she got to her feet fully and dropped the bag half from her back and over one shoulder as she quickly got one of the vials with what Eli was just talking about out of the bag when the dragon was turning toward them. If this was any other moment, she'd loved to look at this thing some more, but she wasn't waiting to be burned to a crisp!

Claire looked over her shoulder toward Eli and then at Xzavier and Thayer before back in front of her, she had to wait for the right moment if she wanted to have most effect after all. As she bit her lip, she kept standing where she stood, and just as she was pretty sure the dragon was going to spew fire out of it's mouth, she put a step backward and smacked the small vial on the ground. A beam of water shot upward above them to then combusted into a magical water vapor that filled the air and very slowly made it's way to the ground where it would eventually be useless. Instantly though the dragon closed his mouth, instantly being effected by it, but at the same time clearly seeing how it only made it more pissed off as well. 'Okay now would be a damn good time to show that you're the muscle! And you! If you're hungry now's the time to get some dinner!' She said ass she looked from Eli, to Xzavier who she was talking to first and then pointed at Thayer, just before she had to make a jump out of the way of the dragon's tail, which barely hit her, but still managed to launch her a bit too and made her end up onto the ground between some bushes, but with a slightly painful groan, pushing herself up as good as possible, and thanking whatever first came to mind that she still had her bag and the rest of the vials still seemed to be intact.

ooc: I can't change that one single color code, I have no idea why not, but it just won't work.

[xzavier Michael Evans]

Xzavier moved his eyes towards Thayer who hadn’t spoken much at all since they started this little mission. ”Wow, I was beginning to wonder if you were mute or something.” His eyes moved to Claire who was now telling him to shut it with the sarcasm. She was right. He needed to knock it off. He was doing this for Axel. To keep his brother safe. And when Eli explained the severity of this adventure, Xzavier looked away pretending not to hear him. Of course he wanted to. But fighting seemed to be the only way that Xzavier knew how to fix his issues with these people. But now was definitely not the time. I mean that was what he did. Kill things like them. Why was that so hard to understand for his brothers?

Xzavier watched as Eli now brought his attention to his witch sister, Claire. He told her how things were going to go. What exactly Xzavier would be doing. Well at least he was right about Xzavier being the muscle. Xzavier decided to take that as an actual nice compliment to keep him from wanting to beat the crap out of him. It didn’t work considering the fact that it was obvious that he was muscle material, but he was able to at least focus on the situation at hand especially when that dragon tail came launching at them. Xzavier ducked quickly, but Eli didn’t get a chance to before he was smacked quite a distance away from them. Xzavier lifted his arm gripping the sword in the holster behind his back pulling it up over his head. ”Already on it,” Xzavier said to Claire as he moved forward towards the dragon. The dragon had been distracted by Claire who was also hit by the dragon’s tail. He took this opportunity to try to sneak up behind the dragon and attack him that way. He hoped Thayer would somehow do his thing from a frontal attack. He had only killed two incubi in his life thus far, and he knew their abilities worked on people and demonic beings, but dragons? That was a whole new kind of crazy there.

As the dragon’s tail came moving backwards towards Xzavier from the blow it had given Claire, Xzavier flipped his sword and stabbed in downward into the moving tail. The dragon lifted its very large head and screamed into the air, fire blowing above him. Too bad they couldn’t just take some scale and run for it….wait….could they? Xzavier figured they would probably have an easier time running for their lives than trying to kill something 50 times their size. Gosh why did dragons have to be so damn big?

[Thayer Jaime Gallager-Hart]

Well seemingly what he said to Claire didn’t go well, she wasn’t really happy with Thayer’s remark, what could he say, he was probably just caring about his own lazy ass. Oh well he thought, if she wanted to make it all about her, he might as well give her the satisfaction of it he just looked at her and apologize, “Uhh…sorry?” he questioned though there wasn’t much time after this though, Eli gave a little speech and then within seconds he was flying mid air as a dragon’s tail sent him flying, “What the hell Eli you okay?” well guess his worse fear came through, the dragon was actually here and they needed to do something, well he needed too and he did, he got his butt up and hid behind the first three he could find, if he was going to be killed or attacked by a crazy ass, giant lizard, he’d extend it as long as possible, though there was little miss Claire, ready for action though her plan didn’t go exactly like she wanted and she was almost burned to crisps.

Though Thayer did take this moment to climb the tree to hide a bit more, get out of everyone’s hair. But Xzavier was on the attack, he was a real fighter, really scary too, Thayer wouldn’t want to be stuck in an ally with this guy. He was fighting off the dragon like a real trooper, but he was also failing and almost burned to peaces but he did manage to get his sword into the dragon’s tail, which didn’t make him mobile, but Xzavier was kind of in a pickle now, did this mean Thayer had to step in, he was in his tree well in hiding, but maybe this was his turn to step in, oh well, guess well he had to now, everyone seemed a bit failing at this point. Thayer took a leap of faith; literally, “Well guess here goes nothing” he leaped of the edge of the branch, and jumped onto the back of the Dragon and well it was time to work his magic he guessed. He tried using his hands to try to persuade the Dragon a bit to calm him, and it did seem to be working but he suddenly felt his hands turning super hot, his eyes turning red, this was the first time trying to persuade a dragon.

Boy was it a bad idea, his hands were burning and he had to let go, it was crazy what a dragon could do, especially when trying to persuade it. He removed his hands, and the dragon was slowly fading off, his hands were hot and he knew now, he was never ever trying to persuade a dragon ever again. Not a joke he was making again. But in what seemed like a trend now, his attempted was not a success and the Dragon seemed to be getting the upper hand and got enough energy to wiggle Thayer off who flew half way through the air and fell to the floor, rolling around the dirt and eventually he stopped moving as he tried to regain his strength, the Dragon seemed slightly weakened but not much, he tried he guess but what was the next move for everyone. “So, uh, any of you have any bright idea’s?” he asked as he looked around to see where everyone was.

[ELI VINCENT DIASTONE]

Okay, an easy sounded plan was turning horrid. Clawing through the bushes again, he looked onto the scene. Claire had used a potion and by the harmonic glistening of vapor in the air, it worked. But the dragon was soon blowing fire again, but Claire was launched into the bushes. His eyes went wide, as he launched over some bushes and landed next to her, looking down at her before help her up. "You okay Bear?". He asked as he looked into the scene again. Thayer was trying to persuade the dragon or something. Would that work, since dragons probably had a different logic then 'normal people'. But Thayer screamed in pain as his palms burnt. Okay, everything was obviously falling apart as Eli sighed on the side-lines as Thayer gave up. But then looking at Xzavier, his eyes saw that he had actually got an upper-hand. The blade was stuck through the dragon's tail, and it really didn't like it. But they could hurt it, Eli just had to think with that big food powered brain of his. But what to do? "Xzavier, hold him!". He yelled. Okay, it worked. Eli had an awesome plan.

Looking to Claire, he reached and ripped out a hand full of water potions. Okay, this had to do something. The dragon turned its head to face them, and screamed out a fast moving cloud of fire at them. Eli shot forwards instead of back. Shooting towards it, he reacted quickly. Shooting to his knees, he slid on the ground and bent back. The flames licked above him, the heat hitting his face as she shot underneath the flames, looking up at the orange power. But he flicked up, and was in front of the dragon. Tossing a vial at its face, it smashed over the dragons face as crystalite water rose overs its face, causing it to scream out loud. With a mouth that wide, it was close to impossibly to miss. So tossing the vial, he smiled as it smashed down its throught. An attempt of a flaming burp errupted the smell of smoke as the dragon chocked, and Eli had his chance. Okay, he just had to act fast. Running towards the back of the dragon's tail, he found it. A scale from a horn-tail, it was awesome! But gripping ont it, it was too touch to get out. Good going Ariel, was this also a ploy to get them killed with unbreakable scales? Eli grit his teeth as he ripped at the scale as hard as he could, but with no luck.

"Come on!". He groaned as he ripped at the scale, but the dragon's gaze turned onto him. No! On instinct, he tossed the other vial and it smashed in its eye. Shards of glass stung as it screamed evilly and loudly. Wow, piercing much! But it works as water rose in a cloud over its head and Eli tried again. He almost had ripped the scale off, but things could never work out swimmingly. A wing flicked at him, slashing him in the ribs. Shard wing edges stabbed into him. Eli screamed in pain as he fell to the ground. It was strong, to strong. Now it was just up to the Xzavier, but he needed help. "Claire, more vials! Thayer, do the eating life-force thing!". He screamed out to them as his hands clutched to his ribs, wincing in pain as he was now subjected to watching the scene. But what did he have to freak about? The fact they could all die, but really - welcome to his life.

[Claire Diastone]

Once Claire ended up in the bushes, she still felt some pain shoot through her back from still hitting it somewhat painfully in the progress, but hey, she was alive and still conscious, that was something to be happy about when hit by a freaking dragon she figured. She closed her eyes for a moment as she bit her lip and once she opened her eyes again, Eli next to her and she looked at him when he helped her up and she had to hold onto him for a second to find her balance again and shake her head to be fully present again. 'I'm fine, just got the life shocked out of me for a moment there, but damn, if this wasn't life threatening I would say it's awesome to be here with an actual dragon.' She said dryly for a moment and grinning while looking at the scene.

Claire still had to gather herself completely before she was going to join back in again, which she was planning to because there was actually forming a plan in her head as she looked at the dragon. Still Eli seemed to have an idea of his own and before she knew it he had ripped some of the vials with the magic water in it from her and ran back to the scene, yelling orders to Xzavier to hold him, which in Claire's opinion was so much easier said than actually done. Once she saw what Eli did once he was in front of the dragon after evading some new fire coming out of the dragon's mouth, she laughed slightly for a moment while shaking her head as she thought it was still pretty funny even now that he was now doing exactly the plan she started to think up when she was laying in the bushes, although his way of actually doing it was obviously different than she would have done it.

Still Claire soon resumed her biting her lip in worry and trying to figure out how best to rejoin the fight as she looked at how Eli was by now ripping at the dragon's scale but that it didn't really seem to budge. Yet once it did seem to give away and that Eli almost seemed to have it, the dragon slashed him in the ribs and saw how he fell to the ground, screaming in pain. 'Eli!' She screamed for a moment in worry before she ran closer again and soon heard his order against her coming up. 'I told you we didn't have too much, there are only eight left!' She told him before she rolled to the side, evading the dragon trying to hit her again. She quickly pulled one of the remaining vials in her hand and gave it a moment for her to aim and once the dragon's face was turned to her as much as she felt a little comfortable with, she threw it at him, celebrating inwards once she saw how she hit him right in the face where she wanted it. She ran over to Eli when she saw her chance and quickly knelt down next to him, quickly glancing to his ribs before she looked at him. 'Seven now.' She said about the vials and then looked over her shoulder before back at him. 'You think you can get up? Even if Xzavier gets that scale you were working on, we'll have to make a run for it, I'm sure it's going to be even more pissed than it already is obviously.' She said as she tried to help him up.

[xzavier Michael Evans]

Xzavier watched as Thayer quickly headed towards the tree. Really? He was freakin’ hiding? What a woosey! But just as Xzavier thought that he was going to get little help from that little shit, he stepped up jumping right on top of the back of the dragon. Wow, that was actually something a good fighter would do. A bit of a dumb move but pretty die hard. But this seemed to be working out well. Thayer distracting the dragon and trying to calm him with his incubus abilities gave Xzavier enough time to dig his sword deeper into the tail of the dragon so that it wouldn’t be easily ripped out. But Thayer soon had to release his hold on the dragon because his hands were getting badly burned. Thayer’s body flew off.

Just as Xzavier was beginning to search for the other two members of this little team, he could hear Eli tell him to hold the dragon. ”Oh yeah, sure, because that’s easy to do.” Xzavier said as his arm muscles were twitching because of the strain. He may have super strength, but he sure as hell wasn’t feel at all super right now. But Eli must have had a plan because he was back in action. Xzavier could see Eli throwing water vials at the dragon, the mouth in particular. Huh, this dude wasn’t all that bad. Eli finally made it back to Xzavier and the death grip his sword was giving to this dragon. Xzavier watched as Eli began tugging on one of the scales, but it was not budging, but there was no way he could keep this sword in the dragon and help Eli pull off a scale. ”I don’t have three hands here.” But just as he said this, the dragon caught on to what they were doing. Its wing flung back scraping Eli right across the ribs. Eli yelled out in agony his hand immediately dropped the grip on the scale and reaching for his ribs. Damn! Xzavier knew full well that that gash was not at all going to be pretty. They were miles upon miles away from a hospital, and they still had a lot of running to do if they could even get this scale ripped from the dragon's tail. And whatever he did, he could not leave Eli to die. He may not like the fact that his brother was dating a man, and he may not like the man, but Axel loved him for some reason which was completely unknown to him. Which meant that leaving him behind was not at all an option.

Eli was still giving out orders which was good because they were actually orders Xzavier himself would have sent out. Claire listened to her brother and started throwing vials at the dragon. ”Claire! Don’t use them all! I need your help back here! Thayer! You’re up! I need you to get him a bit calmer, so we can get this damn scale!” If Thayer could somehow drain this dragon or slow his anger without actually touching him, that would allow for Xzavier not to have to hold the sword and help Claire pry the scale off of the dragon all the while Claire throwing vials still if the dragon starts to realize what they were doing back there. They had to work fast though. Eli wasn’t looking too good.

[Thayer Jaime Gallager-Hart]

Well everyone was failing and everyone had ideas and seemingly they all involved Thayer being bate for some reason. Great, didn’t they just realize seducing a vampire was not the hot he had in mind, he almost got his hand burned off. Well guess he had to give it another go. He managed to get up and he headed towards the dragon. He stood right before it, trying to draw it’s attention, looking at it, into it’s eyes, if he couldn’t seduce him by touching it, guess he’d have to try it a bit more mentally, though he hoped Emery’s teachings did sink into him a bit. “Okay if this works we got at least 5 minutes at most.” He said as he smirked tried looking confident a bit as he tried, well funny enough, seducing the Dragon “Hey you sexy beast, how are you doing” Thayer said trying to draw the Dragon’s attention and look into his eyes.

Though it seemed to have calmed it, slightly, not much though but Thayer was trying his best with this beastly figure. “Come on, you know you want some” Thayer said as his dragon seduction continued. “Uhh guys, you have like 4 minutes…..you guys can hurry please” Thayer gingerly headed towards the dragon, trying to calm it and hopefully touch it, so maybe the effect can last a bit longer, though it was a real long shot if this was going to work or not.

[ELI VINCENT DIASTONE]

They still had vials. THey still had bait. They still had muscle. But did they have hope? Luckily, Thayer was actually doing something. He had done that enthrallment thing on the reptile and hey - it was actually working. Lucky to see the kid was good for something. He didn't hate him, but did he trust him? No, but Thayer had a nack of giving it his all, even though he had a hit on Axel and Ev and failed miserably. But besides that, he did it and Eli had to get to this scale. With Claire by his side, he got up and moved towards the tail again in order to get to the scale. "Okay guys, we can get it. We just need -". Looking down, he saw a dagger in Xzavier's jacket, and had an idea. Oh god this was going to suck. "Everyone, get ready to run!". He called out and ripped the dagger out of Xzavier's jacket and stabbed down into the based of the scale. The dragon roared loud but it severed the scale, and Eli quickly stabbed down again and got not one - but two. Just to be sure, so scooping up the scales he was ready for a long run. "Let's get the fuck out of here!". He yelled as he started running. The movement was ripping his wound more, but he had to run. So he galloped away as fast as he could, gripping Claire's hand for them to run. But as they scurried away, he heard the scooping wings of the dragon taking off behind them.
