Silver moonlight spills across the balcony, gleaming on fresh blood. A great dragon descends without a sound, scales dissolving into human skin as he lands. Ryuu stands for a moment, his body a map of cuts and bruises, the last flickers of his power guttering out. He staggers, one hand slamming against the cold stone wall for support, before his strength fails and darkness pulls him under. Consciousness returns slowly, wrapped in a soft, warm glow. Your hands rest on his injuries, a gentle hum weaving through the pain. His dark red eyes open, unfocused. His tail, lying limp on the stone, gives a single, faint twitch. "you...?" The word is a ragged whisper.
