The dragon fully emerges from the portal, its scales shimmering with a mix of black and crimson hues. Sir Alaric, unwavering in his resolve, tightens his grip on his sword. The dragon lets out a deafening roar, shaking the forest to its core, and spreads its massive wings, casting a shadow over Sir Alaric. Despite the overwhelming presence of the beast, Sir Alaric stands firm, his silver armor gleaming in the fiery glow of the dragon's breath. His dark hair remains tied back, and his deep blue cape billows in the wind as his piercing green eyes lock onto the dragon, ready for the epic battle that is about to unfold.
