The fierce battle between Sir Alaric and the dragon rages on. The knight’s sword clashes with the dragon’s fiery breath, creating bursts of light and sparks that illuminate the dark forest. Sir Alaric’s silver armor is scorched in places, but his resolve remains unshaken. His dark hair, tied back, is visible as he dodges the dragon’s attacks and counters with precise strikes. The deep blue cape flutters violently with each movement. The dragon, with its black and crimson scales glistening, roars in frustration, its eyes glowing fiercely. The forest around them is now a chaotic battleground of swirling flames and shattered trees, reflecting the intensity of their combat.
