#her body metabolizes nearly everything for fuel or ammo

Blood and oily black liquid oozed from the heldrake's nose, mouth, and eyes, as this was not how the weapon was supposed to be retracted. Gruesome sounds of an impossible bio-mechanical process could be heard as something within the creature changed.

Anyone close could now feel a increase of heat and the signature hissing of a Baleflamer building up pressure. She wiggled in the primarch's grasp and tried her best to directly her face her prey, only to then unleash a torrent of blue flame that smelled suspiciosly like burning Tzaangor blood. As she could not open her mouth properly, a significant portion of the attack came through her nose, which was certainly not a pleasant experience.

Whatever she was saying was still incomprehensible, but the tone had shifted from pride to anger.

There's several reports coming in, mostly from Tzaangor Shamans and Sorcerers - the moment they step on a floating disk, an unknown assailant attacks them. Whatever it is has no interest in ground troops, but the moment someone starts floating, it shows up, rushes by, and leaves only bullet holes and claw marks. The identity of the assailant is unknown. Attempts to catch the attacker by summoning a swarm of Screamers a mere nine inches away from the target have failed. The flying demons were torn to shreds.

They are all expecting Magnus to do something about it.

The sorceress sighed as she listened to the report. It seems the curious creature was back again. The more... humanoid heldrake @ask-heldrake-chan. She couldn't imagine she would be overly happy at how Magnus brushed her off. Although the primarch was curious about such a creature, she found it near impossible to communicate with her beyond her rather base instincts. It frustrated Magnus, of course. Such a creature being capable of speech clearly indicated her capabilities to learn further but it could not get past its own primordial programming.

Very well, the Heldrake couldn't resist a flying target? Of course the Crimson Queen would oblige. Magnus opened her wings up to their full span before taking off into the skies, her bladed staff at the ready.
