As thickening dust clouds billowed around her and the ground trembled mightily underneath their feet from her bucking leaps, the other dragons feared to approach and help as they dodged sudden blasts of explosive fire from her desperate attempts to somehow burn off the parasite.
But one dragon better assesed the situation and acted.
Recognizing a type of pattern evolving in her erratic struggle, he lept high and seized an opening to land upon her back and grip her torso tightly, wrapping his limbs around her long enough to bite the cursed thing and rip it off from her head, sending it flipping.
He then pushed hard against and away from her in time to prevent her fear’s response from flipping them both backward – and as she recovered from being flung forward into the ground with a smothered “oof!” he hovered majestically above the scene and set the being’s carcass on fire with a victory cry.
