The dragon is getting closer; the trees are shaking with its approach, and its roar grows ever as it approaches in fury. Edelgard is well aware time is swiftly running out.

"It moves to attack Celliwig. Do you understand the damage it will do if it gets there? I will not risk the lives of the Fae."

It could have tried to reach out, get more information on what was happening. It chose to do none of those things. It chose to do this, instead. Now get into position, or get out of the way."
