"THUD!" Hilde's tails mercilessly pounded Arlo, each blow a testament to her raw power. If this onslaught persisted, his life would be forfeit.
Pausing her assault, Hilde snarled, " You are weak, weaker than Blaze and me when we were kids. I won't let my brother serve under a worthless man."
"GRRRRRR…"
She anchored her hind legs and wings into the earth, looming over the fallen Arlo. Her mouth opened, revealing an intensifying blue glow.
In his mind, Blaze's voice echoed with urgency, " Run, Father, run!"
"SIZZLE!" "SIZZLE!"
Hilde's scales bristled as she growled menacingly. The blue light in her mouth swirled and amplified, before she unleashed a torrent of blue flames directly at Arlo.
"CRACK!"
The ground beneath Hilde's fiery onslaught began to liquefy and fracture.
"BOOM!"
