Inadi continued climbing with his mind only on whether or not his body could handle the long trek up the hill. He knew that once they got to the beast it would be ten times worse and whether or not he would be able to handle it was going to be an even more challenging phase. The sweat collected on his face and traveled down his neck. Finding a dry spot in his hair was probably going to be an impossible feat at this point as well, but it did feel good to finally start working and feeling a real difference in his body. Maybe this whole thing wouldn't turn out so badly after all.

Harper came up soon later on and gave a quick word of encouragement and concern for his health as they did so. Inadi knew that Harper's heart was in the right place so he didn't show his agitation of being babied by so many. His arm was his own fault and everyone was treating it like the group did it to him. He wasn't too keen on the pity he was getting, but knew it all came from a good place. He gave the boy a pat on the shoulder and nodded at him. “I know Harper. If the arm acts up again I'll go to Jasper as soon as possible. She has a very good knack for these sort of things as I can tell.” Inadi told him as showed his arm to him and the progress it had made from where it was back at the cave.

As he thought that the roar he feared would soon arrive rained down from above. Looking up the mountain he saw the great dragon and the terrifying blue fire that it showered down upon everyone. Rather than throw himself at the dragon in a rush, he stayed close to Lesley, Jasper and Harper as they continued up the mountainside. He found it odd that he was surrounded by the three people that had shown the greatest amount of concern for him over the journey up the mountain. Fate had a weird way of making things like that happen. Continuing up the mountain a sudden burst of magic came out and it clearly seemed to be the dragon's ace in the hole.

The gravity magic caught Inadi off guard and he began falling a bit as he let out a quick yell in surprise. Luckily he reacted quick enough and slammed his spear into the ground and got it hooked into a stone on the mountain. Problem was it was such a sudden stop his left hand slipped and it forced the thunder mage to grip tightly with his right hand and come to a screeching halt. The sudden jerking of his shoulder felt very uncomfortable and the pop he heard after wards did not do anything to help his case. As he looked up he saw soldiers all around him begin falling and with that, weapons that the soldiers had been wielding. Trying to move his body as best he could he was able to dodge some of the blades, but a sword caught him on the way down and gave him a quick gash in his left rib. He brought his left hand up to the wound and saw it was a basic cut, not really anything deep enough to do any real damage. As the gravity finally stopped Inadi was able to climb his way back up the mountain with the rest of the other humans there as Hakuren began making his plan.

The group began debating plans and tried to find the best way of battling the beast he began spending most of his attention looking up the mountain. He began recalling certain paths they had gone up before and some actually seemed recognizable. They would be easier to trek and they did a good job of shielding the people using them from the fire the beast was still shooting out. As they continued discussing Inadi began trying his idea out for himself, climbing up the mountain slowly and attentively as the rest of the soldiers continued climbing with a blind purpose it seemed. Every so often as he got further up the path he felt his side sting a bit as he reached down to the new wound. It still wasn't bad enough but it was causing some blood to build on his robes. Brushing the feeling aside he began quickening his pace and tried to make his way towards the dragon.

He was getting closer to it now when he began seeing strange white streaks of light shoot out from behind him. Inadi shot he spear out at them, thinking they were some new beasts that had come to become a further nuisance in the fight, only to follow their origin and see them appearing from Jasper's staff. An eyebrow was raised and Inadi began adjusting his glasses to make sure he was seeing it correctly. Sure enough the healer was indeed attacking the dragon, and with an attack that appeared like something he would have used. He was impressed to say the least and it seemed that the dragon was showing older wounds from some previous fight. Inadi looked at these new openings and suddenly had an idea. Whether it interfered with the rest of the group's plan was the last thing on his. He had an opening ant he was going to take it. But he would need a good throw of his spear to take his plan into action. And this was going to be tough considering the boy was right-handed. Inadi wanted to try and throw his spear into one of those old wounds and use the weapon almost as a spire, to attract an lightening bolt and shock the dragon. The magic would be able to bypass the beast's tough hide and go directly into the monster. Deciding he needed to get closer, he continued up the mountainside using the knowledge he had gotten from the previous trek. Hopefully the dragon wouldn't pick up on his being there and stay focused on the many soldiers that continued to climb towards it.
