The second Fray shrieked, circling above as it tried to dive at Lara. Its scaled wings glinted in the sun, each beat kicking up sand like tiny storms.
Rhylen swooped first, swords flashing in a deadly arc. The Fray twisted, barely avoiding a cut, but his tail lashed out, striking its side and sending it skidding through the air.
Kaelith and Dorian lunged from below, claws slashing, forcing the Fray higher. Lara's eyes glowed, her hands igniting with concentrated Moonfire. She aimed carefully, releasing a stream that streaked across the desert sky, hitting the Fray mid-flight. Sparks erupted from its scales as it screamed in pain.
The Fray faltered, struggling to maintain altitude. Rhylen dove, driving his swords deep into its wings. The creature shrieked again, losing control and tumbling toward the sand. Kaelith met it with a powerful swipe, and Dorian landed a final strike, pinning it down.
