"There are voices, always, they scream in my mind, she is one I always see, she came and I now keep her but voices... not STOP!" the dragon howls mentally to all of you. Whitefire has clapped her hands over her ears and has tears of pain in her eyes.
*Skord rears upward, exposing his huge, armor-plated chest, though here and there you can see places where scales are missing through his neglect.*
*The dragon roars into the sky, opening his mouth and shooting out a stream of some potent liquid. It rains over the entire clearing, burning into everyone's skin. He thumps his tail again, this time knocking Elexia aside, though it mostly seemed accidental. He fans his wings as he roars and the massive cords of muscle stand out in his neck with the effort of it all.*
*Whitefire suddenly screams and falls to her knees, clutching her head in agony. You all spot a faint aura of color around her that also briefly outlines Skord.*
"Make. Pain. STOP!" he screams again, starting to thrash nigh-uncontrollably.
