Challenging The Curse

Laying unconscious in a ten-foot-deep hole with the land around him destroyed, Ren's chest was open with a fist-sized hole in it, his hair disheveled. His robe was burned, and his wings were expanded to their fullest. Under the moon, he looked like he was sleeping soundly, with no expression on his face.

Slowly, the hole began to fill as he healed, but his eyes remained closed.

A string of black smoke appeared beside him, and from it, Blaze's head peeked out, currently in his Winged Pardus form.

'What was he trying?' he thought to himself when he saw Ren's state.

*THAD*

Blaze heard an explosion and immediately grabbed Ren's leg in his jaw, dragging him onto his back.

Ren didn't manage to get very far, just near the trees behind his dorm room. Blaze immediately made a single jump and latched onto the window to their room, causing the whole building to shake as he heard the dorm mates' voices.
