"These things sure are brave."
Igni spoke with a soft chuckle as he spread his massive wings wide. His scales shimmered with fiery-red light.
Then, he opened his jaws and—
"RRRROOOAAAAAAAAARRRR!!!"
He roared.
The sound rippled through the air. For an instant, the Stonefangs' trusted beasts shivered, causing the Stonefang warriors sitting on them to lose their balance. Even the very ground seemed to tremble.
And before the echo of the roar even faded—
FWWWWOOOOOSHHHH
Fire.
A stream of pure flame burst from Igni's mouth and swept across the battlefield like a river of molten red. It roared over the vines, seared the air, and painted the cold gray sky in light.
The weather was bitter cold—winter was coming—but Igni's flame erased the chill in an instant.
Stonefang warriors screamed.
"Naak'gul!! Thraas'val!!"
{My eyes!! It burns!}
"Vor'rak!! VOR'RAK!!"
{Fall back!! FALL BACK!!}
"Gah… nok'thal…! Zol—zol'tash!"
{I… no air… I can't breathe!}
"Zor'veth! Zor'veth dul!?!"
