Sapphire Fury Pt. 11

Korialstrasz surveyed the battlefield from the top of Wyrmrest Temple just as he did every day since the siege of Wyrmrest Temple had begun months ago. The blue assault seemed weaker than usual... were they running out of drakes to throw against the Accord at long last?

Tragic but it offered an opportunity.

"It is time we take the Sapphire Dragonshrine! Press the attack!" Korialstrasz bellowed to his draconic army.
The red drakes and elder wyrms were no longer merely in a defensive posture, but instead leaped forward to the attack. Korialstrasz watched with both sadness and satisfaction as the blues seemed to melt away, the survivors falling back even as the reds pushed forward.

Suddenly Korialstrasz felt the hairs on the back of his shape-shifted form stand up on end. Something was wrong... then he spotted it, a very large, blue scaled wyrm and from it Korialstrasz sensed... the Spell-Loom!

"Titan's preserve uss... it'ss a trap!" Korialstrasz cried out.

The air of Dragonblight cackled with arcane power as the blue wyrm Nilligos seemed to suck in the magic pouring from the Sapphire Dragonshrine directly by using the Spell-Loom, drinking it in... and then unleashing it on the helpless reds.
"Fall back!" Korialstrasz screamed but it was already too late. Scores of red dragons and wyrms were falling from the air as Nilligos unleashed the full fury of the Spell-Loom.

Even as a few stragglers made it back to the Temple Korialstrasz knew they no longer had the numbers to hold the Temple even without taking into account the Spell-Loom's awesome power.

Then the sound of multiple portals ripping holes in the fabric of reality could be heard. As Korialstrasz looked on in horror blue dragons of all types began filling the skies of the Dragonblight in numbers unheard of. This must be at least half the forces guarding Coldara Korialstrasz realized as with a sinking heart he knew Malygos was going all-in with this assault.

Korialstrasz turned, already trying to think of a way to force his Queen and consort Alexstrasza to flee... while she still could.
