Don't Count Me Out;; Bai Shi.

[Jiyu Simul Stamus]

I felt like weeks had passed since she found that pile of crow feathers in place of their pharaoh and taken control in attempt to find Sepiroth so they could bring him back. In that time? Word had very easily spread to other groups as she had taken the time to soothe over any tensions she could in order to keep everyone safe until the prideful fool could be found and returned to his throne. Whenever the sun rose she tried her best flying for hours until after the sun set in an attempt to discover where the male may be. Only, with no luck in finding the male increasingly the search parties had to be forgone for hunting and patrols, or worst yet didn't go very far because they had already given up on finding him. Numerous members now came to her as if she was the Pharaoh instead of a stand in until they could find the white lion. With all of that physical stress combining with the mental stress caused by being thrust into a position she wasn't even willing to accept was now hers? Jiyu's nightmares came back lividly and exhaustion took her beyond the edge.

The last coherent thing she could remember doing was sending an NPC hawk to tell Bai Shi what was transpiring, hoping it would reach him before other word of mouth did. Only, that could have been days ago and the idea of him returning was beginning to sound... Tasty. Now that she thought about it the dragoness realized she had not eaten for weeks now, she was starving and so close to the end of her control. Realizing this and the fact that it was only a matter of time before another dragon flew fright into her lap, the current leader fled her house swiftly jumping to take to the air. If she wasn't absent or full by the time Bai Shi came home? Jiyu knew she would try to eat him hungry as she was! Fleeing so she wouldn't hurt another member of her group the white creature swiftly flew until she reached several hours into the uncharted territories.

Jiyu was gone by now, she had left her senses shortly after taking off. All that was in her head? Sniffing around for the trail of another dragon so she could consume them and make it back without being found out.

seeing the ever familiar form winging away from their shared group, bai shi decided to follow her, leaping into the air shortly after descending and landing, pushing away on the aching migraine they carried for using their air elementals for too long which put them in a weakened state.

they knew that sephiroth was missing and there was silence within the group, but they still worried, and perhaps they needed to speak with Jiyu for matters concerning the youth and finding the white lion that they had come to love.

"jiyu!" they would call as they surged after her, having a struggle getting off the ground.

In the uncharted lands, her scent would be easy enough to track showing that she had not been trying to flee from him, something was just important she had not been able to land before now. Once Bai landed? In the distance trapped under a canopy of tree's that made take off impossible, he would be able to hear an intense fight, definitively being constructed by two dragons.

When he made it to the clearing? He would see Jiyu and another slightly larger dragon fighting as if each of their lives depended on it. The other dragon was missing several chunks of flesh but those were nowhere in sight since the leader had already eaten them before Bai arrived. On the other hand, Jiyu looked incredibly weak with numerous scratches now highlighting the fact she had become thin while he was away.

rather annoyed that she had flown off without them, they sailed over the trees, listening to the fight occurring below before snarling and switching their flight back to circle down to land and push into the trees towards the battle.

call it unfair, but they were protective and their instincts screamed to protect their groupmate. they could change the tide of this battle. loosing their own roar, they bore down on the other dragon, aiming to drive it off or to land critical hits on the others body.
