The battlefield was a mess of debris and scorched earth, the air thick with the acrid scent of smoke and the echoes of the dragon's roar still ringing in my ears.
As the massive beast disappeared into the stormy clouds above, the leader of the Brotherhood stood at the center of the destruction, a twisted grin etched on his bloodied face. He looked almost triumphant, as if he had already won.
But this fight was far from over.
Seraphina and I exchanged a determined glance, the fire in her eyes matching the fierce resolve that burned within me. We had come too far, fought too hard, to let this monster of a man win. No matter the cost, we would stop him here and now.
The leader's voice, dripping with arrogance, cut through the chaos. "You see? You cannot stop the inevitable. The power of the Brotherhood is beyond anything you can comprehend. You should have run when you had the chance."
