Alexander realized the flying beast before him was a formidable one, its presence was even more daunting than the rat's. He was unsure of his ability to combat it, but he knew he had no choice.
"I cannot allow it to reach the village, or there will be a bloodbath," he roared, sprinting toward the forest and leaping into the trees.
Propelled like a cannonball, he aimed to cut off its path. As he soared, a sword materialized in his right hand, blazing with an infernal glow. Drawing nearer, he caught a fleeting look at the creature's form.
It is a monstrous creature with a reptilian appearance. It has large, black leathery wings that are spread wide, giving it a menacing presence.
The creature's body is long and serpentine, with a thick, muscular torso and a long, tapering tail. Its legs are short and powerful, with sharp claws at the end of each foot, and its head has a long, pointed snout with sharp teeth.
