“Don’t worry yourself sick, Chaz. I can heal people’s scraps, bruises, and burns from my own training,” Ninazu said. Her eyes flicked down to Chaz for only a moment. “I might not act like it, but I was the Pitt’s only healer for a long ass time. Too long! Which is why you’re the guru and I’m not!”
She chuckled, her tongue flicking over her teeth. Her golden eyes focused on Argus, and her chuckle turned into a frown. The dragon spoke uncomfortably close to the truth—the condemned couldn’t afford to cripple their still-standing citizens.
“It’s not like I’m going to kill anyone,” she grumbled. The serval huffed.
Ninazu wasn’t disappointed the flaming rock missed all three, as she almost expected that. Argus was a clever one, and landing a clean strike… that would be a challenge, wouldn’t it? The smirk returned on her muzzle.
“The Great and Wise Coco Lord hears your pleas for mercy! I’ll go easier on you lot, since you can’t stomach the full power of my might!”
With a wave of her paw, she levitated a rock and crunched it down to dirt. The cloud of floating dirt and pebbles floated around her, and the serval cackled. She sent the cloud down towards Argus, attempting to have the mass collectively coil around the dragon’s form and hit the two smaller creatures taking shelter.
“Hope you don’t mind sand in your britches!”
