Winter looked on in silence with wide, but determined eyes. She gave them all a look that clearly said [i]stand back,[/i] and shifted into her dragon, using her icefire core to channel energy into her transformation. She popped her neck and stretched, snarling softly as her broken leg healed. She was small for a dragon, with her catlike body shape and paws. He scales were white this time, a clear mark of her emotions. She dipped her head towards rhe newcomers Seloria and Tetsuya. She motioned for them to get on. There was a special hollow right between her neck and shoulders that was ideal for passengers. He cobalt blue eyes flickered with anger and pain and a desperate need to escape.

"Hurry," She rasped. "We haven't got much time. I can carry three of you without much effort. Now [i]move!"[/i] Winter startled violently as she saw Aster come through the wall. She was no behavior expert, but she could tell he wasn't in control of himself. Her scales itched with fear and adrenaline as she just snaked her head under Seloria and Tetsuya, depositing them into the hollow at the base of her neck. She turned to Aksaja and Jebonae, jaw clenched. 

"We should go now. Before poor Aster unwittingly slays us all. I'd rather die like a dragon in a fair fight to the death." She said quickly and began to lope away gracefully, movements as smooth as water, so she didn't disturb her self appointed passengers. She looked back. Jebonae and Aksaja were running after her.

"Hurry!" She roared. "Grab hold of my tail and climb on if you need to, just don't let yourself get flattened!" She was grateful of her Icefire core. She had forgotten to use it to freeze the metal, so that it would become brittle enogh to break. And the fact that it sped up her healing. [i]Stupid, stupid, [b]stupid.[/b][/i]
