253 A show of power

Ares stood at the window with his firearm ready. 

"What is she planning to do?" Noah wondered. 

"We shall see," Ares breathed through the pain. 

More dragons were already surrounding them, but Ares assumed that they had only just emerged due to the commission and were unsure of what was going on.

Spotting a shadow above, he quickly aimed with his pistol but paused as he felt that it was Nazneen. 

"Don't shoot." He told the others. 

Nazneen flew around, and he wondered what she was doing when a sudden, loud roar caused the town to shake. She flew around, growling, making a sound so primal as if calling to a bloody battle, and when she awoke everyone, she returned to the courtyard, shifting back and landing in the pile of injured, paralyzed, and dead dragons that lay there. 

People quickly began to gather, hearing her call, and Ares could see the horrified looks on some of their faces.
