When the icy wind dies and the clouds break, Emilia sees them through sheets of red rain: large silver wyrms, some with eyes so chilled and blue she thinks Anurr himself might be seeing her through them.
She's been fighting exhaustion for some time now, the cold sinking past her heavy layers like sharpened needles. It catches in her lungs when she breathes too deep, frustration mounting at the titans that split her focus. They seem to care little for the fact their goals align, at least when it comes to defending the walls.
Some of her energy, too, has been going into the metal link between herself and Opal to keep her from spooking, the dragon a sentinel in the steel-gray sky. They have to fall back, she thinks, the weather brutal enough she has lost sight of her combat partners. The last thing she needs is Anurr's compulsion grabbing hold.
... It happens too fast, is the thing. Comes sideways, maw open and blasting ice. Opal tries to course correct, but in the effort, Emilia looses footing and starts to plummet. Save her, dragon prince, save her.
