The dragon hissed in pain upon impact, glad that it had least missed her vital organs- and her gemstone. She had been lucky this time. Her breathing was heavier, with a certain weight to it. It would be best to end this fight as quickly as possible so she could recover, but at the same time, she wasn't going to just let it get away with this. She had to prove to it that she was stronger. Had to prove it to herself.
Her ears nearly went deaf from the loud screech, and she could feel her hold loosening. It wasn't easy to get a grip on this thing. There was no point holding onto it, the best course of action was to wear it down. Arquia struck out, letting go of her hold on the Azhdar while using this to free up a hand and attempt to rake her talons across its eyes. If this succeeded, it would hopefully render it blind.

It had been about to pull away; a disengage, a live-and-let-live as it chased Arquia from its nesting grounds. Somewhere in the distance, another shriek answered its call. It seemed not to notice, too concerned with the claws raking the right side of its face from side to bottom, eyes bloodied over in an instant, streaks of blood pluming back behind it.
Its agony was clear; another harsh cry of pain and rage erupted from it, and it shook itself and drove for her.
Savagely it stabbed, retaliation as it now realized the dragon had no intention of disengaging in turn: a bloodied blow for Arquia's abdomen, an attempt to pierce the soft flesh there and drag free the ropes of intestines that should lie beyond.

Oh god there was another Azhdar? This first one was already enough of a pain to deal with as it was, but a second one really decided it was going to join in. They were being so mean to her really, in fact, all she had wanted to do was hunt some regular ol' dinosaurs (except deinocornus of course) and it had just started to attack her for no reason! This made her feel a lot less bad about how she was beating it up, not to mention they were quite a menace and if she didn't get rid of them then they would probably attack someone else. Either way, it would be best to finish this one off as quickly as possible before backup arrived.
She had expected it to do the good ol fly and stab thing again, but it instead resorted to close combat. Well, that just meant the blind had worked. Partially at least. She had a better chance of winning like this as opposed to it dive bombing her over and over again. A swift movement of an arm, blocking the attempt to rip at her stomach. It made her wonder if it was possible to break its beak somehow. Hm.

It was normally a relentless beast, but the wounds the dragon had inflicted on its face were giving it pause. It could barely see, it could feel the hot blood and the pain and they were far enough now from the nest that its task was mostly done.
It knew instinctively that the dragon could not fly upside-down forever--she would need to flip over, or fall--and so it pulled up and away again, aiming to flap back higher with shakes of a bloodied head.

Ah, look who was trying to escape now? This thing had attacked her first! It wouldn't be getting away like that! It probably wouldn't take much to take it down, especially when it could no longer dive at her again. Being almost blind did that to you. Righting herself as the Azhdar tried to fly away, she found her wings to be rather tired. Stamina would wear out soon if she didn't end this quick.
Arquia forced herself to continue flying in a burst of energy, head reaching out to bite the joint at the base of the dinosaur's wing. If this succeeded, it would probably work to not only take down one of its largest wings, but also allow her venom to temporarily paralyze it.

The beast held its head slightly canted--no, in the other direction; this way was bloodied and half-blind--turning this way and then that to ensure it kept the dragon in view.
Again this intruder showed it held ill will. The Azhdar tipped to the side, sliding upward and away in an attempt to escape--and then the dragon was in close.
A bite. Another squawk of ferocity, deafening--and another answer, closer this time. And now a distant figure, white, four wings pumping unevenly as it headed this way. Arquia would taste blood on her tongue, though whether it was the taste of victory or deadly danger--or just blood, really--was up to her to decide.
The Azhdar, either way, began to turn to meet her, beak pulling back for what was undoubtedly going to be a vicious attempt at a strike.

The taste of blood flooded her mouth, but this small moment of victory was eclipsed by the deafening call, and a chill as there was a response. This one would no longer be much of a threat. No matter how much it tried to threaten her with its beak she knew that it wouldn't be able to catch up to her if she decided to fly away. Its wing was much too injured. Arquia hadn't expected this fight to take this long, and for a moment she was back in the forest, chasing after the deinocornus whose efforts had been futile. It had suffered then. She was causing this creature to suffer now. But still, this was revenge! This stupid thing had tried to get her first. It deserved what it was getting. Maybe.
Ignoring the dinosaur's warning that it was going to attack, she reached forward and attempted to bite its neck to end this whole ordeal. Unfortunately this seemed to miss completely, jaws snapping into thin air. Why was it making this so difficult? Not to mention she would have another one to deal with soon. And that one would probably be just as scary.

Again it was a clumsy, bloodied scuffle; Arquia lunged, jaws snapping shut with a midair clack, and the giant-beaked Azhdar lunged back. It was another knife-stab strike, fierce and with the full intent to kill behind it, aimed for her too-close face: instinct-driven for the eye socket and the brain beyond.
Even so, its flight was faltering--a brief stutter as its bitten wing began to numb. Four wings helped it stay aloft, but three would not keep it aloft easily.

A growl of frustration as she missed, and she pulled her head back to try again. But she would not be given the chance. Arquia had wasted her opportunity, and now it was the Azhdar's turn to attack. Quick reaction- she moved her head to the side, dodging the blow. However she continued to stay in close pursuit of the dinosaur, undeterred by the attempt to kill her. She would kill it first, she knew it.
Perhaps after dealing with this one she would leave. The dragon could feel her strength flagging- adrenaline could only get you so far. She could not have planned for another Azhdar to show up, and really didn't think she would be able to survive another tussle. Arquia hadn't even completely finished this one off yet.

The Azhdar prepared to aim another strike, but the paralysis set in: though it was a short-lasting venom it was potent. It reared back its head to aim a skull-cracking blow, and then it was tumbling before it could attack, a messy plummet from the sky. The other wings caught it, another indignant shriek resonating across the tree tops, but it was no longer in active flight: the swift tumble had dropped it far below, and now it was gliding for an open field--a narrow crack in the jungle canopy, opening like an emerald geode. The other pale shape moved to intercept, dipping lower itself with an echoed scream.
