Argalaic gripped on to the saddle for dear life. He tried soothing words to gain control of his dragon, but Styrax was overtaken by her wroth. She arrowed upwards, then outstretched her enormous wings slowly kept herself stationary by rotating them. A net fired out from a cannon, spread wide spinning... And bounced harmlessly off. Argalaic threw his head back and laughed.
"She's this big and you think some finishing net will contain her?? Pathetic."
Styrax roared deafeningly, and pitched forward. She was right above the envelope of the airship. Right above its bulging gasbags, out of reach of its guns. She opened her jaws and roared forth flame right onto the envelope.
Argalaic shielded his eyes. A heat that intense would surely blow the gas...
Inside the Palace
It was so bright.
So clean.
So tranquil.
He heard her calling him.
"Dontas?"
"Mother."
"Oh my sweet boy. My sweet lovely boy. You're safe now. We're safe now. Come to my son. Be with me, Dontas. You're at peace now."
He went to move forward. And. Couldn't. He felt a stiff wind, or some force, pulling him backwards.
"Dontas?"
"Mother?!"
"Dontas!"
The light vanished. It was dark. He could smell the smoke and hear another voice.
He opened his eyes. He was still in the Palace. He felt no pain. He saw a woman staring down at him.
"Who in Twelve Hells are you?" he croaked.

Hr focused firmly on the massive carrier. It was well armoured, but its deck was vulnerable. Set it alight and it would be useless, out of the fight and likely out of commission for sometime. Letting it get away was not an option. He gave high, long whistle.
Styrax pitched down with a growl, and soared through the air above the surface of the water. Spray kicked up from her sheer force and she glided after her prey. She swooped sideways occasionally to avoid the steady gunfire as the crew of the carrier saw her hulking mass close in. She pulled upwards with a flap of her wings, craned her neck as she swooped over the carrier, and brought forth flame onto its deck and superstructure.
Inside the Palace
Dontas slowly got himself to his feet as he looked at the magus.
"I am Ser Dontas Greenbow, grandson of Lord Euston Greenbow of Oakdeep, and I am in your debt."
He scanned the room, and found his broadsword laying on the floor ahead of him. He picked it up and looked at his saviour.
"I trust Emperor Titus is well served by his forces and the dollmaker here. Now tell me... Where can I find the Empress and Crown Princess?"
He picked up his fallen helm, ready for a fight.
