The World-Eater's Eyrie

Cerise; The Blinding of Arrows

  In the face of the wild fight, Cerise remained collected. Ullr had foolishly hopped from the horse when they arrived but the huntress used the lesser weight to her advantage. Cerise wrapped the leather reins around her right wrist, guiding the galloping stallion in a series of loops and patterns around the scene as she launched arrows from her bow fiercely.

Many of the flint heads bounced of the serpent's deflective scales, bouncing back in splinters of wood and flint. Cerise redirected her focus then to the softer parts of the reptile, impaling the fleshy wings and underbelly with her quick arrows. The beast soon fell from the sky by a torn wing and ravaged about around the group.

The nord had not seen Ullr in a few seconds, and her gaze met frightened blue as Ullr cowered ridiculously close to the attacking creature. His head was close to Ullr, and he spotted her rather quickly. With a roar of hungering power it snapped at Ullr's face and nearly missed the tip of her nose. Thinking quickly, Cerise notched an arrow and let it loose into the blazing yellow eye of the beast. There was a rumble of pain and it thrashed it's head wildly in the sudden loss of sight in one eye.

Cerise took the opportunity to launch another into the remaining eye, which enraged the now-blind beast as it trampled over a swinging guard. His back snapped rather quickly under the weight of the dragon's clawed feet and the rest of the group closed in on the wild monster as it tried to defensively deflect incoming blows.

It wasn't long before the wounded dragon became severely outnumbered and fell to the ground with a final roar. There were cheers of the victory and Cerise grabbed Ullr's wrist and pulled her from her hiding spot.
