Whose Dragon by TheOwlette (Commission)
It's another commission drawn by TheOwlette! Ashar is still stuck in the city, and now he's been found by some anthros! He doesn't seem to be having much luck getting away, and now that they've leashed him...
Continued from here.
So close.
Ashar has been [i]so[/i] close to making it out of the city, nearly at the outer wall despite the heavy bags constraining his wings and the stout cuffs and chains limiting him to a slow, careful walk. Once past the wall he could have spent more time worrying at his gear, figuring out a way to slip out or managing to find something sharp to cut open the mittens that trapped his claws and at last freeing himself from the anthros who wanted to force him to carry their messengers--for free!
But the dragon had been spotted, and despite glares and clumsy cuffed swipes of his paws and muffled growls from his muzzled snout a rope had been knotted around his collar. Thanks to his significantly greater weight he could probably resist the canine trying to drag him somewhere, but getting away was out of the question now, not when he could barely fight back, let alone fly away! The anthro yanked on the rope, but he stayed put with a sullen growl, tail lashing. The cuffs made him too slow and clumsy to whip his hind end around and strike a proper blow with his one unrestrained limb, not without them seeing it coming, and he pulled back on the rope with a snort. If only he could get free somehow!
His heart sank when another anthro joined the first--the more help, the more numbers they had against him, the less he'd be able to resist and delay his return to their stable, where he'd surely find himself under a much more secure and attentive guard! He growled, a hind paw stamped against the street but the gestures were so nonthreatening in his bondage that they barely even looked at him.
Instead the newcomer, a horse, grabbed onto his lead as well and the two of them began to argue! Both of them claimed he belonged to them--he snorted, he was a dragon, he belonged to no one!--the wolf because he'd found him, the horse because he'd been part of the group who'd bound him. That made him theirs, the horse insisted, but the other anthro was adamant that having managed to slip away, that made him fair game for whoever was the first to re-secure him! They progressed from strong words to shouts to trying to shove each other away from the dragon, and Ashar watched them, tensing. If they could just get distracted enough by each other, maybe he could pull the lead away from them--
Ashar reared as best he could, but the anthros clung to both each other and the rope tied to his collar, their combined weight holding him as his cuffed and clumsy hind-mitts slipped against the road. He tried again, tail swinging for balance, mittened fores reaching for them, but their pull on his collar, all the bondage made it so hard to do anything without tipping over, and neither of them would let go of him! Come on, come on, he growled into his muzzle and kept pulling, they were sure to attract a crowd in a few moments and then there was no way he'd ever manage to sneak off...!
