And once again, the dragon wants to play with its food. Kendal’s mobility is extremely hampered underwater, but starfire might give him the power edge.
This begs the question, though. Where is the other glacial drake? Knowing our luck, it’s gonna find Dainix and Erin at some point. It’ll be in for a very nasty surprise when Dainix goes Crucible Mode on it.
Kendal: You want to play? Fine. Let’s play.
(he brings forth the power of starfire, concentrates it into the jewel of his blade, and creates a blue laser that shines a dot on the ground) Vros/Calian: Ah! (tries to catch it as Kendal wiggles it about) Ugh! You fiend!
Never mind what I thought last page; this dragon does know that’s Kendal and is just engaging in pre-fight banter. I agree 100% about the dragon-cat analogy; every other species can follow the “all animals are dogs trope” but not dragons. The interested/mischievous look on Vros/Calian really sells it.
This may look bad, but don’t despair yet. The glacial drake is being far too cocky, unlike them Kendal does not play when fighting, and I’d wager starfire is hot enough to be effective underwater. Also, in not reporting to Stefan, the Paladins may send reinforcements, maybe even the other water dragon, this way, thus lowering the pressure on the other gang members.
Prediction for next week: This seems like a good place for a scene change. Maybe we’ll catch up on Falst or have Erin and Dainix face the other glacial drake.
If I were to make a bold prediction about this fight, I’d say the Northern Wyrm did hear Kendal’s message, N.W. will tell Alinua about it, who will arrive at this battle seeing a dragon trying to kill Kendal … again. The drake will proceed to have a very bad time as they become enveloped by magically amplified kelp.
oh. right. im early.
I lovvvveeee this sea dragon design with the big flippers. Confused by the lack of gills though. Do they absorb all the water and air energy through their scales.
perhaps this is my cue to go to sleep.
So they DO like to play with their food
Omg first?
Bad dragon! *squirts it with a spray bottle*
Its a water dragon, so it will probably like that.

Thank you!

*FF X underwater boss battle theme starts playing from a nearby rock.
I have had that playing in my head since they entered the water. Bet Kendal would be great at blitzball, since he barely needs to breathe.
Time to find out how Kendal fights while underwater.
Well, time for a boss fight
I’d be careful with that if I were you buddy, Alinua is probably within Deus Ex Machina range by now

Perhaps they just hold their breath like whales and dolphins?
Somewhere in the depths, Alinua pulls a “ZWING” sfx-style head turn
Dragon cat has entered the chat
You called.
Very well
*squirts it with a lava squirt bottle*
Ah. Now we see the challenge Stefan faces. HE may be disciplined and practical, but his troops? Not so much.
