Damn two legged Ants and their machines. Taking control of the skies with flying metal tubes that could attack you before you could see them. Spitting out piercing pieces of metal that could even breach the defense of his scales. Though he did not know how they had even known he was there or why they had attacked him. Though he had been warned when he first got here to avoid Isafaro, this little event had proved that warning correct.
He had been flying within sight of the city, but nowhere near close enough for anyone to have seen him with their eyes, he couldn't with his. Of course he should have expected there to be another way this technology to see distances not within sight by eye. He had been going around the city in a third very long flight when the roar of something sounded before he felt the sharp pain of something impacting his side.
The flames had done nothing, but the force had caused some damage, buffeting him to cause him to tumble a bit. The biggest damage was the shrapnel that tore through his wings and where the impact had torn a small hole in his sides through the scaled. As they approached he retaliated to the as he knew unprovoked attack. Didn't stop them from shooting at him with their guns that half the time pierced his scales. The fighters went down to him tearing one of their wings off when it got too close, and the second to a blast of his flames.
He escaped after casting an invisibility spell, and got away from that city. Hours later, and near exhaustion, Helios landed near the city of Kari. Somewhere save, and hidden from prying eyes, even with his huge size and his aura. He couldn't hide his aura of power if he planned to heal, that magic was not his specialty and it took a lot more energy to cast than any elemental magics.
That was where his curses came in, it was painful using the magic he was not anywhere a master of, to pull even such small metal slugs out of his hide. Periodically one would hit something sensitive on it’s way out and cause him to growl loudly. “Damn two legged Ants and their machines.” Each slug came out following a white glowing claw that he had to dig into his side to touch the pieces of metal. He wouldn't dare shift his forms before all the metal was out of his body, that could be disastrous.
As he was working on his twelfth slug to pull out of his left side was when he felt an approaching powerful aura. Someone strong was approaching. Hopefully they wouldn't be sensitive to powerful auras from others. The feel of that other person’s aura felt dark, and he had no idea if it would be friendly or try taking advantage of an injured beast. Of course if they were aggressive, he could use the meal. Some fresh meat always helped a dragon heal.
