For a short moment the two dragons were disoriented, the sudden changes of both location and...er, 'real-ness' giving them a queasy lurch in their hypothetical stomachs, but the feeling soon passed. Rong observed the other contestants and what was supposed to be their battlefield with disinterest. "Just another war, hm? Alright, let's burn this sucker down. Maybe the falling trees'll kill everybody." She took a deep breath, ready to launch a raging stream of fire at the dark woods surrounding them, but was quickly stopped by a slightly glowing Right ramming his head against hers. She swallowed the flame in surprise, burning her throat. Smoke poured out her nose and mouth as the red dragon started quietly rebuking her.
"Are you trying to kill us? What if a tree falls down on it, hm?" 'It', of course, referred to their only way of mobility, Eemp, who had spent the whole time staring straight ahead with the same expression as always.
"Iths fiyar-proof," Rong replied around her throbbing pointed tongue.
"Unfortunately, my hasty companion, it's not resistant to being crushed. This isn't just the usual war," Right hissed, his eyes glinting slightly with...excitement, maybe?
"Iths not?"
"These aren't knights properly lined up for the kill...they'll act a little...differently. I believe some strategy is required. The others did not seem very impressive from that initial introduction, but we should scout out the more troublesome threats and deal with them quickly. We will definitely need a few allies. Power in number, after all. And I have the feeling that these woods are more dangerous than they seem. Dark...a lot of places for things to hide, I'd think. And my...ah...unfortunate ability to glow in the dark makes us hard to hide..."
"I could just burn it down," Rong whined, her tongue now feeling much better. "I don't see why you don't let me burn it down. Why do we always have to go with what you say?"
"Because I'm always...Right. Ha!" Rong groaned as Right continued to chuckle over his 'clever' joke. Eemp took this time to start approaching the closest figure. "What's wrong? Not...punny?"
Another set of groans and giggles. "I hate you. So. Much."
