May turned to Kaida, sweat gathering on his brow as he nodded his head. It seemed that another dragon had been felled, but somebody had already gotten the children off of that one (using strange magic, something he had never seen or felt before, as faint and whispery as the feeling was) so his priority was to free the kids that were stuck levitating.
."Agni!" He called out, and the great dragon twitched his head a fraction towards him.
A retreat had been called, and Agni seemed far more interested in following after the other beasts, gnashing his jaws warningly. May called out to him again, more desperately this time as his grip on the dead dragon slipped a bit, and it dropped a sudden ten feet or so before slowing down to a crawl once more.
Casting one last look at the retreating lead rider, Agni huffed and turned away, beating his wings as he lowered himself to the ground next to May.
May's face broke into a tired, wary smile as Agni actually listened to him for once, and he nodded his head towards Kaida, still keeping his eyes on the beast he was holding in the air as the fight waged on around them. Holding his concentration was getting incredibly hard, especially hearing the cries of a young girl from nearby, but he could only focus on one thing at a time and the kids in the sky were a greater priority.
."Agni, take her up there to get those kids loose," He said, and Agni gave him a very unimpressed look at being ordered around like a common beast. He must have said such to May, through the telepathic link that most draconic species had in common, because May actually /snarled/ at him. "Do it before I lose my grip!
The dragon seemed taken aback for a second, but then lowered his head and moved one wing for Kaida to climb on. He didn't have a saddle (he was not an /animal/ to be /ridden/) so it was a bit of a rough ascent as he took to the skies once more, flying over to the dragon that was still in the sky, floating.
