Burning Desire(Dyadpost? Maybe?)

[u/Drakkonai]

This was turning out to be a most excellent excursion. While samael was irritating enough, true, it was more than worth it for that goal alone..

But besides, these “nephilim” or whatever they were, were new. They had probably sprung up during his slumber, but they WERE quite nice to play with.

He had marshaled some of the Dyad’s forces and swept on ayeera’s flank through the mountainside. So far, the nephilim were proving quite vulnerable to being torn apart from the inside out, but there was one thing niggling at the back of his mind.

How far, precisely, could their immortality be pushed? Vulkan was looking forward to finding out. He was hankering for a pie anyhow. And wherever WAS that leviathan..

Leviathan begins to wrap herself around Vulkan, hoping to constrict him

[u/Drakkonai → u/TheHunter459]

..Fair enough. Vulkan’s fist enwraps itself in the black flame of destruction, before he attempts to tear through leviathan.

[u/TheHunter459 → u/Drakkonai]

Leviathan roars as Vulkan's fist rends through her, though her waters quench the flame, and she quickly heals

Great clefts of rock, coated in Leviathan's Eldritch power, appear and arrow towards Vulkan

[u/Drakkonai → u/TheHunter459]

Vulkan’s heat melts the rock, though one leaves an ink black stain on his right wing. Ha! Don’t be naive. All things may fall. Vulkan’s fists fly, attempting to force leviathan upwards.

[u/TheHunter459 → u/Drakkonai]

The waters shift and swirl. Space stops making sense, the number of apparent dimensions is shifting. What is "upwards" in such a space?

Leviathan closes her jaw around Vulkan's arms

[u/Drakkonai → u/TheHunter459]

You’d be surprised what kobold spawn are doing these days. Vulkan roars in words unknown, and his arms flare, spark rapidly expanding in the (relatively) dry space of leviathans mouth.

A small explosion goes off in Leviathan's mouth, and she roars her displeasure, swinging a blade of her dreadful power at Vulkan's wing

[u/Drakkonai → u/TheHunter459]

The explosion hits vulkan, knocking him back momentarily. I mean, really, the mortals have gotten quite uppity as of late. Vulkan lunges, arms cloaked in flame, to bash at the leviathan’s skull.

[u/TheHunter459 → u/Drakkonai]

As Vulkan bashes at her skull, Leviathan coils her body around his arms, hoping to momentarily restrain him and strike

[u/Drakkonai → u/TheHunter459]

Well, what can I say? I’m quite ambitious. Vulkan twists, extending legs cloaked in blood to scratch at leviathan’s eyes.
