[Wan doesn't like it when things die in general, and he really doesn't like the "rip out their throat" method of killing enemies. So yes, he does have his complaints.]

Don't!

[He won't be able to physically stop her though.]

[Without physically stopping her the word goes unheeded. Her claws digs into the flesh and the shifter will die. Wan will feel his power come back to him as the foot solider knocks his dying companion off of him. Knocking the dragon off of him before she can end his life.]

[Wan puts it to use immediately by throwing a fireball at the foot soldier. The sudden rush of power would be enjoyable if the situation wasn't so horrible.

The fire isn't enough to kill the soldier, but it was enough to push him back. He quickly throws another to try and push him back further. He wanted the soldier to back off. If not retreat than at least enough for them to escape.]

[Xzana jumps back from the fire. It doesn't worry her, but it absolutely confuses her. She thought the fire user was fighting against these men with her. She turns toward the traitor and lets out a howl of vicious anger. Now she isn't sure who she should fight. The foot solider in the same position. Let the crazed dragon attack the boy with fire before taking her out or take care of the one shooting fire at him.] Be more careful with your magic.

[It's the only warning she'll give Wan. If he attacks her again she won't allow herself to think it was a mistake as she launches herself at the foot solider once again. Only she had her strength back at this point. This time when she throws herself against him he fall down to one knee.

The cultists tries to swing his blade around his shield and get the mass of girl off of him, but it is a difficult target.]

I'm trying to help you!

[So please stop threatening to hurt him?

But this was bad. Very bad. Do nothing and the crazy dragon girl will get hurt. Do something and the crazy dragon girl will think he's trying to attack her again.

Even if it was a tricky situation, it was a no-brainer for him. Wan will help just about anyone and anything even if it puts his own life at risk. He needed to distract the cultist from hitting her. He ran, this time approaching the cultist from behind. Mud wasn't going to work, rocks weren't going to work. But fire will work. Blasting a fireball at his back.]

[Help? She doesn't need help for this. Still, maybe it was just an attempt at helping so she at least stops growling. Going back to focus on the foot solider instead. She catches on eventually to what Wan is trying to do so she makes sure that man's attention if fully on her. Biting and clawing at his shield she backs him up slowly towards Wan so when the boy sneaks around the man's back is completely exposed.

A fireball to the back hurts. He falls screaming and Xzana rips his shield from his arm so violently that if the sounds of fighting all around them wasn't do deafening they might have heard a pop. He won't be using that arm anytime too soon again.

More so because Xzana is only being slowed down tossing that shield away. As soon as she's done with that she plans on putting this man out of his misery for good.

Unless Wan has an objection?]

[Wan wanted to keep this guy from fighting, but he's not used to hurting people like that. Even people he really doesn't like. At the end of the day cultists are still people to him. Even if they are terrifying and want him to die.

Feel free to kill the soldier while the reality that in order to stay alive he is going to have to do some serious damage sinks in. Because even though he is more pragmatic than other pacifists: hurting and killing others with his own two hands is not something he never wanted to do.]

[If there is one thing Wan should at least be thankful for is that while she is not at all gentle or kind with the cultist. She has at least been taught to put those who would fight her or her pray down quickly. That there was no need to prolong the death that would follow.

The shield is tossed to the side. Once more she aims for the neck. Unsure where the heart was located on a human it was the guaranteed kill. This time there is so much pent up anger and energy behind her jab that her claw sink through the man's neck and into the ground.

His struggles stop as she rips her hand back out and ready for the next onslaught of fighters. She shoots a quick look at her partner to be sure he isn't about to blast her with fire by mistake yet again.]

[No, he was done fighting her. He was done fighting everyone. He was angry and horrified. Wan released a massive fireball in their direction. It would only kill them if they were foolish enough to charge into it. He wanted to push them back, give them second thoughts about trying to take them on. Keep them away from the dragon lady who has a penchant for ripping out people's throats.]

[Xzana follows up his fire attack with a mighty roar to try to deter the cultists from charging and attacking them. She would much rather not fight them all as she knows eventually she'll tire.

Too bad the cultists aren't about to be stopped by fire and some scary sounds. Once the fire dissipates slightly they come charging for the two. With a snarl the girl goes charging in.

Only with this many combatants she's decided to change her fighting style up slightly. As she rushes forward her body starts stretching. Her scales growing and spreading across her body as her eyes change color.]

[It's a fast transformation and over in less than a minute. Now instead of a long limb girl to deal with the third party now has a large, angry dragon to deal with. She snaps at them with her long neck and fangs. Grabbing and tossing away any who she manages to catch. Swinging her tail back and forth to knock down the others she's not fast enough to catch.]

[Wan never questioned that the girl was human. He has a liberal definition of human that allows for a wide variety of bizarre deformities. It comes with the territory of living with someone who was half-tree.

He stumbled back at her transformation. Perhaps if she wasn't currently tearing into enemies he would think she's really pretty.]

[Hey! She's beautiful! Okay, at the moment she's covered in blood and gore from the cultists she just mowed down, but red and blue are great colors together! She pauses when the numbers thin to look back to see how Wan was doing and catch her breath.]

[He's doing about as well as you would expect for a teenager suddenly plunged into a battlefield and had a girl he just saw rip out a bunch of dudes throats turn into a dragon and get covered in even more gore.

You know, not very well at all.

But don't worry, if anyone comes charging at him he still has the presence of mind to firebend in their general direction. Even if Xzana is completely beautiful and terrifying at the same time.]

[It's good that through all this that Wan has managed to keep his composure enough to defend as after she checks back on Wan and turns back to her fight a Third Party member has managed to take to the sky and land on her back. A little help?]

[More like "he took to the skies and landed on her back while smoldering and highly disoriented because Wan shot him down. Also her wings might have gotten a little hot from the close proximity of the fire but not enough to really burn them and oh god oh please don't eat him he was just trying to help" ]

[While Xzana does not feel heat the same way as most, fire so close to her still gains her attention. More concerning than the heat to her is the weight on her back. She quickly shakes the smoldering man off her back and onto the ground. Stomping down her full weight onto to his head to be sure he does not stand again.]
