Celebrimbor, Kana & OPEN: If You Dare
Again Kana's voice reached Celebrimbor through his intent fury and he paused, lifting his horn crowned head to sniff at the hot air they had both created. He could feel the pull through the tunnel, escaping air. Heat always rose and the dragon turned away from the cave in, nostrils flaring and then he exhaled, snorting flame and shaking his head. "Yes." he confirmed. "The creatures, they will try to escape that way!"
Eager to track and to hunt his prey, Celebrimbor bounded ahead down the tunnel, startling a group of escaping students who were cornered by an approaching golem. Ignoring the students, the dragon snarled at the golem and ripped into it, shredding with his claws and giving the students a chance to dart ahead. When he was finished with his kill, the dragon looked up again, silver eyes wild and untamed.
He proceeded this way, refraining from using as much of his intense heated flame in an effort not to erase the scent of the fresh air. It was a move that saved the lives of students and staff - rescuers and captives - who were moving through the tunnels.
Celebrimbor found the mine shaft that went to the surface and up he climbed, growling as black talons tore into rock and made chunks fall down the long and deep elevator shaft. He caught the scent of Barclay again and paused, neck craning up. His witch was in danger. He needed to find him.
"Kana! Follow!" With a burst of dragon strength and fiery breath, Celebrimbor broke through the closed top entrance of the mine, a mighty roar coming from his throat that echoed for miles as he got clear, wings spreading, and lifted himself into the sky. The opening he made was large enough to let light into the mine and guide others who were trying to escape to get through its widened passage way.
