Rot Gut Whiskey's Gonna Ease My Mind

Tarnish felt the boulder start to move as more wolves joined in til finally it was sent rolling toward the worm. It collided making the worm sputter and flail but they weren't close to defeating it, not yet. Was this strategy working? Tarnish was ready to get up close and personal with the worm but what was the best method of attack for a creature like that. Still, they were getting close. As more wolves attacked the worm seemed to grow in frustration and disorientation. A large arch of fire burst out from it. Tarnish scowled.

Out of the corner of his eye he saw his sister go for a long, conical form of rock before darting around toward the back of the worm. He kicked off sharply, seeking to join her, hoping his dark, shadowy form would help to hide him from detection. With a running start he built up as much momentum as he could before flinging himself toward the worms back. Obsidian claws unsheathed as he aimed to land below Siduri, planning to dig his claws in deep and let his body weight assist him in dragging long lacerations down its back.

Unscathed again! Well at least minimally scathed! The lashing worm beneath his claws scalds his pads and burns his whiskers. The fur singeing around every point of contact and he sneezes under the cloud of ash falling around them. He pries the hard shell from the back of the worm! He sees a bright female and a dark male approaching him with a sharp stone!

"Here!" He calls to them, offering a naked deshelled space for them to pierce the firey flesh of the lava worm with their stone! He rends the obsidian carapace free! Yes! Vict- A yelp of pain grabs his attention! Ganymede?!

Ultyr sharply inhales as he frantically whips his gaze around for his partner. The stormshine boy had his leg stuck!

Ultyr attempted one more massive swipe at the raw area under the writhing swinging worm before he pushed himself away. He didn't care about any of the others that had died or were injured. The only one he cared about was this boy. As close to his boy as they were going to get for now.

He leaped and charged toward Ganymede, he threw his hips over the boy and glared the worm down, protecting him while he got his leg free.
Once the leg was free he pushed Ganymede toward the edge of the circle of stones.

"Let's go! Let them finish it off! You're more important." He growled and swept his head under the smaller frame, and hiked Ganymede over his back. He carried him to the edge of the massive circle and beyond. He wasn't to let Ganymede get further injured.

Raiders didn’t know when to leave well enough alone. She had been on the opposite side of the worm and one of the bastard kids decided to come over and talk smack. Bellamy fixed her with a cold glare, hissing between her teeth. “Gilgamesh passed up the easy opportunity for my blood. You'll find yourself working for it if you try - and losing some of your own in the process.” He had every opportunity to make her answer for the crimes she had committed against the Raiders, but instead he had been more focused on renting her to shoulder her pack. She may not have been an alpha, but she was still the pack’s founder. Fault could have still been found with her. And now she had given up everything to atone. If they wanted more they could shove that desire right up their tight assholes. Unlike the others who charged in, Bellamy hung back and observed. Fur bristled, stomach churning as lives were lost. There was no saving them… this worm was more dangerous than the lava worm she stepped against. Keeping alongside the back end of the worm Bellamy began working a sizable boulder toward its back end. The thing was pissed… as to be expected. Some of the Raiders were attempting to finish the beast off, and Bellamy could only hope the boulder would help serve as a distraction from them as she pushed it into the edge. With any luck, the beast would be dead in a few moments. "Speech," 'Thought.'
