As the glow faded, a heavy fog filled their vision. Aurelia groaned, unable to summon the strength to escape the bush she landed in.
Through her laboured breaths, another sound became apparent. Heavy footsteps.
And a deep voice.
"What the devil-"
She gasped at the sight of a tall man - with dragon wings, horns, & a sword.
"Witches? Don't move or l'll collect bounty on your pieces!" He snarled as he drew the sword, pointing it under her chin.
She recoiled. "Wha- wait, we're not witches! We're human!" Her eyes flicked, panicked, to the shock of teal hair on the ground a few paces away. Alexan was just starting to stir.
The monster blinked in surprise, his slit irises dilating, barely visible behind his black hair. "Humans? Imposible."
But as he looked at the unlikely pair & their lack of pointed ears or tails, his senses seemed to confirm it. His tongue darted out to trace his teeth in an expression of annoyance. Then he sighed.
"...Fine. Come with me," he ordered. "I am Maxim Rythandrekel. ...Call me Maxim."
