The Wild Master

"Get down!", Zug yells and Wendy is brought back to the real world. Without wasting a second, she quickly laid flat on the dirt just as a stream of fire came flying over her and the other's heads and impacting into the horde of spiders that were directly in its path, leaving nothing but charred corpses in its wake. Even with the distance between her and the spiders that were scorch she could still feel the extreme heat of the flames. Her sensitive nose became filled with the smell of burning flesh and her ears pick up the intensity of the dying screams of the giant arachnids.

"What is that thing?!", Moroun bellows as he gets up.

"What do you think it is? It's a dragon and a red one at that!", Zug tells him.

"It took the big one's head off in a single pass like it was nothing!", Kolvar states, "And it's turning the tide of battle all on its own!"

Just like the elf said, the spiders were scattering everywhere, completely forgetting about Wendy and the others or even the village as they instead make a dash for the forest, hoping to elude the new monster in the woods. Even the one that had been on the rock behind them fled with its brethren as soon as the dragon began torches the lot of them.

While this was going all, Porlyusica and Roubaul's shock and amazement were currently being split between two different sources even though they were connected. One was the red dragon swooping around the village while laying waste to the horde and the other was that the spiders that were previously about to devour them scramble out of the building at the first sight of the new fiery arrival.

"Impossible", Porlyusica heard Roubaul say, "There hasn't been a red dragon's sighting in these parts in centuries. The mountains are too far away!"

"You also said that giant spiders weren't native to this region so I guess this day is just full of surprises!", Porlyusica states as she heads toward the window but stops at the last moment and shields her eyes just as another burst of flames came forth and burned alive the spiders trying to flee. The intense smoke afterward blinds and she falls to the floor in a coughing fit. Using her cloak as a fan to clear the area around her, she regains her senses enough to crawl over to the window and look out at the destruction that was being inflicted.

The headless corpse of the alpha spider laid atop of the guild hall and the charred remains of spiders littered the streets. A trail of flames lit up the paths within the village and several villagers were pouring out of their homes to douse them with buckets of water due to the threat of the spiders seemingly vanishing into thin air and the red dragon to preoccupy with them to focus its attack on the people.

"I wonder how long that will last", Porlyusica thought before turning to Roubaul, "We have to find Romeo!"

Roubaul points out to the clearing in front of the village where a glob of white could be seen due to the fires blazing all over the area. Porlyusica squints her eyes and can make out a small figure struggling to free itself from it.

"Romeo!", she cries out and she takes off toward the stairs that led to the first floor and dashes out of the building with speeds someone her age shouldn't be able to have all while leaving Roubaul behind.

Despite the severity of the situation, the village chief couldn't suppress the chuckle that came forth from his lips, "What is it with Fairy Tail's mages and them be so active even into their late years? She and Makarov are more similar than they know."

Romeo was getting himself more and more entrapped in the webbing the more he struggles and all the noise he was making in the process attracted the wrong attention as he heard a number of clicks come from behind him and he turns around and was horrified to see over a hundred glowing red eyes looking straight at him as well over a dozen of the remaining spiders had made the decision that the boy was somehow worth the meal despite the fact the dragon was still flying overhead nearby.
