Suddenly Garalt could see the red dragon
flying above him. Garalt first thought that he would come to his rescue,
but it soon became clear that Formeathan wanted to do more damage to his sister.
Formeathan flew toward the wounded dragon, and in one pass, wrapped
his fingers around the base of her wings and ripped them completely off!
Again, the black dragon screamed in horrible pain as Formeathan flew
off carrying two disembodied wings. But this time, however, there would
be no recovery for the black dragon. Without her wings, Tel'Karak Zrahl
began to free fall like Garalt, head first towards the ground.
Garalt attention was quickly shifted
by a sharp, hot pain coming from his right hand. Garalt quickly looked
and saw that his gauntlet was covered in the black dragon's blood. Garalt
hadn't really paid any attention to the amount of blood that must have come
from the dragon's eye. But to his surprise, as Garalt looked closer,
the blood was actually eating away at the gauntlet and was now burning his
hand. Garalt quickly pulled off the tainted glove and tossed it into
the air beside him. Garalt stared at it for a few seconds, as it disintegrated
into nothing.
"FEATHER FALL!" a familiar voice called out from below.
Garalt looked about and noticed that he was no longer
falling near as fast as he had been.
"Greylen you wonderful man!" Garalt shouted, smiling.
