And it landed, preparing to sink at least one set of pointed implements into the esper girl.

-Until a set of dark armor came crashing down on it with the force of an avalanche.

Edgar, tiring fast, scratched and bruised and bleeding but still on his feet, had seen Terra's pink glow flicker and die in that attack. His yell would have gone unheard by her, but he was already jumping by the time she was falling. At least she was landing inside the castle; they were doing a decent job of keeping the things from actually invading, which provided her a modicum of safety. And the one that did follow her down quickly got a spear to the back of its neck.

Still, these things weren't easy to kill; some of the guards resting in the courtyard had seen her fall as well, and the King follow her, and they jumped to their feet again to add their weapons to Edgar's. Wounded by the jump attack, being hacked on in seven different directions, that dragon succumbed to death much more quickly than some of its compatriots, and Edgar was tearing off his helmet as he ran over to Terra.

"Terra! Speak to me!" He gathered her from the ground as quickly as he could without damaging her further, pausing just long enough to make sure she was still breathing before struggling to his feet and starting to run indoors. "Someone find a healer!"

Terra was perfectly still until Edgar picked her up, at which point she gave a startled moan of pain and surprise, and her good eye opened for a moment to stare up at him. His hands and arms and probably his clothing would be receiving quite a treatment of blood from her back, probably.

"M-sorry..." she mumbled, trying to lift her injured arm, but after a second it dropped back down limp again and her eye closed once more. And she was back to being unconscious.

It was a good thing blood washed off armor easily, then - he'd came out in the full rig, and was incredibly glad he had.

"Don't try to-" And any order Edgar was about to give was moot; Terra was out again, which was probably for the best. Edgar didn't stop moving, but did try to shift her so he wasn't pressing into her injuries, running as fast as he could without jostling her to where the healers had gathered.
