Inadi let out a pained breath through gritted teeth and Lesley stopped moving his hand; the spear rattling as it hit stone. A hand darted out for his wrist and Lesley gasped; wide eyed as he knew he had made a terrible mistake, the grip around the base of his arm was rigid. 

[b]Inadi:[/b] “I appreciate your concern as well Lesley. Truly I do, but for now it just needs to left alone. Fretting over it won't make it go away and it certainly won't get us to that dragon.” 

The framed face boy released him and stalked off back to Jasper. A burning sensation resonated on the area where Inadi had held him, his cross words echoing in Les's mind. Putting his hands near his mouth, his eyes began to moisten more than normal, 'But I was only trying to show you my love...' He rubbed his short teary moment away as he watched him start talking to Jasper again. 'Ugh! That fritter! And to think I was even your designated protector?! I think not. Now you go and take my man? Grrrr.' A storm was brewing in Lesley's mind as he watched the pair walk side by side. After he toned down his mental rage a bit, he realized that both his hands were balled up into a fist by his sides and he was somewhat stomping as he walked. Untwisting his angry scrunched up face, it ached a bit from being held in the unnatural position it had been in previously. 

Being farther behind than the human pack, he began letting himself sink into the crowd of soldiers as he didn't want to see the red-eyed traitor, Jasper, anywhere in his line of vision at that period of time. Instead, he started to converse with the man that kindly carried him up the harder parts of the mountain side earlier. In the midst of their chat, chaos started to break out in the front lines and many began drawing weapons from their carriers.

[b]Soldier:[/b] "Celery! Run, uphill! Men, to battle!"

The trooper patted his back lightly with a sad smile before running off to join the battle. As the dragon came into his full view, Lesley dashed through the fighting crowd and dying men as he wandered in a panic in search of his human crew. Finally spotting them a little ways away from the direct line of combat, he joined in on the plan making. Hakuren seemed to have conjured a plan and Jasper [s]thankfully deemed herself useless[/s] decided to stay at ground level, ready to heal if anyone needed it. Inadi had also disappeared and Lesley caught sight of him scampering up the steeper part of the slope nearing the backside of the beast. White lightning sliced through the atmosphere causing his sight to blind for a few seconds before fading back to its regular function. "What was tha-", he saw Jasper casting those lights out of her staff, but it didn't seem to be a medicinal practice, instead, the dragon looked to be getting hurt. 'Wow...' his mouth parted in awe, 'I didn't know she could do that.'

A wave of sand and dirt came rising up as the dragon flailed its tail and thrashed around in pain. South of the steep hill, fluffy white clouds began to arise as well, catching some of the falling guards before they plunged to their deaths. Meanwhile, the amulet tumbled down to Ace and now they held the very object to stopping the wyvern's aggression. Riley and Harper both agreed that they all had to be extremely discreet about their power usage and since he hadn't used any at all today, his was just about full.

Lesley was beginning to feel sweaty and sticky in his suit as the surrounding area heated up with the dragon's flames. 

[b]Riley:[/b] "Ugh, let's end this as quickly as we can! Maybe we can hit it in the face. Les, you're great at grabbing attention, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon!"

Racing along side her; Harper, Ace, and Leon were also making their way to higher ground.

[b]"Eek! What do you want me to do? I don't want to become a target for that thing!"[/b] he worried that he was going to be used as bait so that monster would come down. Suddenly, a another beating of wings came blasting from the sky as another dragon came into view. Before he could whine about another monster coming into their already losing battle, an unseen energy sent him flinging. Grabbing Riley's arm as she was also sent off her feet towards him, he yanked her towards his chest on instinct to protect the female, taking the impact as they crashed towards the ground. Coughing a bit, he struggled to keep debris out of his nose and mouth. His backside was hurting now, but at least they didn't land on one of the pointed rocks.

Letting Riley out of his hold, he stood up and clutched her hand before dashing for Ace and the amulet. "I think I can get it onto the thing" he said out of breath, bent over and rubbing his neck. Reaching forward, he wearily took the solution to their problems. It was best they got the male dragon on their side before the situation got any worse. Not sure how he figured out how the other was female, he just knew she would follow if her mate was put into his right state of mind. Trusting his years of track and long legs, Lesley positioned himself even higher up than they already had been, cringing as the female cried in sadness. Unfortunately, a blanket of clouds followed after her landing and everything was covered in the misty puff. He couldn't see more than a feet in front of him and he dared not move. Her somber call seemed to have calmed everything down and he saw this as an opportunity to get the necklace onto the creature.

Prudently feeling his way towards where he remembered the dragon was, a tail swished into view and slithered back into clouds after a few minutes of searching. 'Aha!' This was it, the dragon was in front of him for sure. Clutching the amulet in his firm hold, he ducked and fell on all fours as large reptile paws stepped above him. 'Please bejeezus, I don't want to be squished. I want to die fabulously. Not like this..' he gnashed his teeth and daintily latched himself onto the clawed foot. 'Alright, move quick. Move quick!' His arms and legs were in pretty good climbing shape from their rock climbing experience earlier that day and he maneuvered himself quite well until he saw the base of the beast's wings. 'Yes! I'm on the back' The female's snout came into view as the two seemed to lock heads momentarily.

It was his chance, scrambling towards its skull, he was headed for the horns. If he could get a hold onto those then getting the amulet on would be a piece of cake. The dragon let out a surprised growl, its pupils enlarging as it finally recognized the unfamiliar footsteps sneaking over his back. With a jerking crane of its neck, Lesley was sent dangling around the base of it's throat. "Dangit! Woahh!" It started to shake and turn violently in attempt to throw him off, but he already had his arms locked on. 'Where are the others? Help!' He closed his eyes and its movements felt like a revolting tea cup ride.
