Chapter 44: The Guardian
But as we reached for the orb, we were confronted by a powerful guardian. It was a massive, three-headed dragon, its eyes blazing with fury.
"You shall not have the artifact," the dragon roared, its voice like thunder.
We knew that we had to defeat the dragon if we were to claim the artifact. And so, we prepared for battle.
The fight was intense, with the dragon breathing fire and claws swiping through the air. But we fought bravely, using all of our skills and strength to wear the dragon down.
Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, the dragon lay defeated at our feet. We claimed the artifact, and felt its power coursing through us.
