Serrion swiped his tail in the soft dirt before him, making a cloud of dirt burst out to counter the flames. If she was going to continue ranged fighting he had the advantage... the Blood Dragon was just waiting for her to move at him for melee.

She snarled, getting fed up. Okay time to move into her preferred terms. Sheakria blasted a ball of fire at him as a distraction and ran to the side, trying to get to him with a good old fashioned talon slash.

Serrion inched away, again magic causing flame that would have normally hit him to edge just far enough away to miss. Of course the blood dragon didn't judge how fast Sheakria was and her talons dug into his arm. Serrion winced past the pain and backed away. Swinging at her with his tail the larger dragon tried to make advantage of his longer reach.

Sheakria quickly used her own tail to block. His was longer but her scythe-spike's length made up for it. She launched off the ground and went for his back now. If she could get to the spot between his wings she could essentially get to any weak point she needed to.

He had been paying attention to her earlier tactics and rolled onto his back. Despite the fact the stomach was often the weakpoint on a dragon his longer legs allowed Serrion to effectively kick her off before she could take advantage of that.

She growled and quickly adjusted herself. It didn't take long before Sheakria was striking again. This time she batted a wing at him with a quick 'wump' of air. A moment later her tail was following the gesture.

He was smacked in the face with her wing and tried to back away, then hit by the tail. He growled lowly though and crouched to later pounce at her. Sheakria was more pure muscle then Serrion but he was still a bit heavier from size. He'd use weight to his advantage.

She tried not to laugh at him getting hit by both. He was clumsy compared to her usual opponents. Slow. But she was sure not stupid. He wouldn't fall for the same thing twice. She launched herself forward at him, teeth exposed and ready for use. She didn't intend to hurt him badly. She just wanted to get that yelp out of him.

The two met and it became a challenge of grappling. Serrion trying to pin her down while snapping at her to keep her fangs from him. He didn't want to hurt her either but he knew she could likely take whatever he had to offer in this play fight.

She pushed against him. His weight was a bit much for her but Sheakria loved to grapple with larger opponents anyway. Just this morning she'd drove a dragon larger than herself into the ground and she was more than capable of doing it again. If she wanted to anyway.
Her neck craned defensively, striking out like a cobra when he snapped at her in retaliation. Her talons hooked into his and she braced her weight into the ground and used her tail as balance. "Not so fast Serrion..."

She almost had him off his feet but Serrion flared his wings out and beat them wildly to catch his balance again. "I'm not... that easy to take down." The blood dragon mimicked what she had done and used his tail for extra assistance.

Concentrating, Sheakria gave him another shove and tried to snake her way around his side again, going up and under. She didn't entirely mind getting into his 'guard'. After all if you got past the extension of your opponent's limbs if they struck there wasn't enough power in their strikes to do much. Then again did that really apply to dragons since they had teeth and a long neck?
"Neither am I," she snarled back, trying to sink her teeth into his flesh.

Serrion grit his teeth, both a snarl and a grin at the same time. He moved his neck in so that she had an opening to bite at the back of it but if she did he'd have a a shot at her throat.

She went for it, confident in her speed. Sheakria was well aware of the exposure of her throat but she was waiting. If he went for it there was a nasty burst of blinding light energy waiting for him. It'd blind him temporarily and while it was true he would likely still make contact she did have other plans.
Her talons came up in a flash, releasing one of his hands in order to grip the underside of his neck. If he tried anything she'd push upward on it. She couldn't stop him from moving completely with one hand because of his weight but it'd still slow him.

Serrion growled, frustrated that what he thought had been a brilliant plan was suddenly put on hold by her claw on his neck. He shut his eyes and then flames burst up around him. Dragon scales were naturally resistant to fire but Sheakria would get a nasty burn if she tried to hold the grapple with him.
