The Plan

Leo and Ariana prepared for the final assault on the fortress. They had survived the dragon's attack, thanks to Ariana. She had cast a spell on the red dragon, that made it motionless for a few hours. She had used her book of spells, which contained a rare and powerful spell that could paralyze any creature. She had risked her life to cast it, knowing that it would drain her energy and magic.

She had succeeded in casting it, just before the red dragon could kill them. She had saved them both from certain death.

She had then collapsed on the ground, exhausted and unconscious.

Leo had carried her on his back, and had run away from the dragon. He had hoped that the spell would last long enough for them to escape.

He had also thanked her for saving him.

He had then met the friendly dragon, who had helped them further. It had flown them to a safe place, where they could rest and heal. It had then flown away, without saying a word. They had wondered who it was, and why it had helped them.

They had returned to the camp, with the few survivors of the raid. They had been welcomed by Rax and the others, who had been relieved to see them alive. They had also been praised by Rax and the others, who had been impressed by their bravery and skill.

They had rested for a day, recovering from their wounds and fatigue. They had also checked their weapons and supplies, making sure they were ready for the final battle.

They had then made a plan to infiltrate the fortress, using a secret tunnel that Rax knew about. He had told them that there was an old mine shaft under the mountain, that led to a hidden entrance in the fortress. He had said that it was guarded by only a few soldiers, who could be easily taken out. He had said that it was their best chance of getting inside.

They had also made a backup plan, in case something went wrong. They had agreed that if they were discovered or separated, they would meet at the tower where the Dragon's Eye was kept. They had said that it was their main target, and that they would destroy it at all costs.

They had then said goodbye to their friends, who wished them good luck and success. They had hugged Ryn and Rax, who thanked them for their help and friendship. They had also hugged each other, who expressed their love and devotion.

They then left the camp, and headed towards the fortress.

They attacked the fortress, hoping to end the mage's tyranny.
