One moment she was watching a real live living breathing dragon jumping up and down... and then the very next... chaos. Complete and utter chaos. Everything seemed to happen all at once. The shouting and running around. The appearance of Ministry workers? Was that what one of them had shouted? Williamson being stunned. Spells flying all over the place and invisible shields being cast.

Then there was the Neo-Alliance. They were shouting for them all to release the dragons? Is that why they were here? Dahlia didn't know what to do or who to listen to. All she knew was she had to stick with her group, all of which were right there with her. Safe behind the invisible shield that had been cast over them by some women she didn't know but would thank later.

"What do we do?" she whispered to her small teakettle group. At some point her hand had found its way into Tadhg's, gripping it tightly. Wherever they wanted to go, whatever they wanted to do, she was okay with. As long as they all stuck together.

What she wanted and what happened next was two very different things. The flapping and gust of wind that came at her from behind was heard and felt before she had time to react to it. What felt like completely out of nowhere a HUGE dragon was right over her. It's talons ripped through her robes and clothing beneath like butter as it grabbed her and lifted her up off the ground, the grip on her besties hand broken like it had never happened.

The pain didn't register quite as fast as her current situation. And the only thing she could think of was to scream. It was a scream of both fear and pain and confusion. What she was meant to do?! "Let me go! LEMME GOOOOOO!!!" Lia shrieked, her gaze catching sight of the ground below.

Uhhhhhh...

Wait. Don't let here. No, let her go. Don't.

As much as she loved dragons and wanted an experience of being close to one... this was not what she had in mind! Neither was being dropped from Merlin knows how high up she even was. Should she try to get to her wand. Would she even be able to accurately cast anything at the dragon if she did? Would any of her spells even work on it?!

Where was this powerfully large beautiful angry dragon taking her?! Could she ask the dragon to bring her home?
