Zion stood at the heart of a shattered arena, dust swirling around his feet. Across from him, Kaida and Taurok moved with deadly purpose. Their eyes gleamed with fury, talons already bursting through their forearms, their auras thick with bloodlust and magic.
Kaida struck first, her arms snapping into sleek crimson talons mid-lunge. She raked at Zion in a flurry of slashes, each one backed by draconic speed. Taurok followed, his legs morphing into scaled limbs, stomping the ground as he delivered a thundering kick that sent shockwaves into Zion's ribs.
Zion staggered, grunting, but kept his stance. Another barrage came. Kaida's breath attack engulfed the field in violet flame while Taurok's aura crackled like a living storm, sending sharp bolts of force through the blaze.
Zion was driven back, coughing through the smoke.
"Not so tough now, are you?" Kaida snarled, circling.
"Dragons reign above men," Taurok added with a smirk.
