(S9/Hound) At the threat against her family, an invisible wave bursts from Tirush, the air shimmering around her with heat. The circling Anubis shield their faces and fall back lest they get singed, the sudden change in temperature choking their breath. The muscles on Tirush's body ripple and flex, glistening with sweat as she tenses up and closes her taloned hands. The sand around her feet begins to turn a bright orange, melting.

"You want to reclaim the Old World? Do you wish to see it again, in its glory?  Then I shall bring it to you!..."  As she speaks, flames lick from her mouth, her throat lit from within by the primal energy building inside.

Aegis, struggling in protest as she is dragged along, suddenly looks up at the shift in energy around Tirush. Her eyes bug out from her head, and she begins struggling wildly.

"Lemme go! Mama T's about to go old school!  We gotta get someone over there before shit gets bad!" She wiggles loose and takes off like a rocket, leaving a trail of dust. Partha pokes her head out in alarm, and unfurls, taking off after her as soon as she hits the ground. "Come on, Kioshi! We have to follow her and help!" She calls over her shoulder.

All Baku, Samia, Hound and Regina hear is Aegis's approaching yell.

"...aaaaaAAAAAAA--ack!" -tumble tumble tumble CRASH-

Turning a corner at breakneck speed, Aegis dodges a person she didn’t see and loses her balance, tumbling head over heels into successive cartwheels until she crashes into a stand that hasn't yet been set up.

She bursts out, covered in debris. She sticks out an wing that's been tangled in rope, pointing towards the beach.

"MOMUNCLEHOUNDAUNTSAMIA MAMA T IS...ABOUT...TO...eeeep..." She stops and takes a deep breath. "...GO *huff* BIG!"

And Tirush does just that.

There is a deep, hollow roar around her body as motes of fire swirl around her, her image becoming rapidly harder to see from the heat. The Anubis scatter as the air itself bursts into flame, a slow motion fireball expanding around her and obscuring her as a huge shape expands with fierce rapidity. The expanding fire egg explodes.

And from it, rearing up and standing on her hind legs, her tail whipping behind her, is Tir'Ush.

She spreads her wings. She sun is blotted out. She rears her head back, and roars.

Hands clap to ears everywhere, but it doesn't help. The sheer, pale terror still finds its way through tightened fingers and squinted eyes, the mind filling in all the gaps of primordial fear that had since been repressed.

After several seconds, she stops. The sky dims as her upwardly turned fire breath halts. The sand on the beach stops leaping in vibration; the water still churns, no longer a rippling blur.

She looks down.

Folding her wings, she falls forward with the slow motion of the enormous. Anubis and Girtablilu scatter, just in time. Her front feet hit the ground, geysers of sand erupting where they fall. Those fleeing stumble from the shock, then continue in any direction they can. Kittycut, oddly, feels no heat whatsoever.

Tir'Ush's maned head turns sideways slightly, a great, golden eye focusing on Aziza, its pupil narrowing. Lips slowly curl into an angry sneer, revealing teeth a foot long. She growls, the heat from her nostrils hitting Aziza full in the face...

Aegis unfreezes from having heard the roar. She gulps. "...Too late..."
