Adela skillfully maneuvered her horse, launching a volley of arrows towards the dragon's exposed underbelly. Her arrows found their mark, piercing the dragon's vulnerable flesh. The beast bellowed in pain, momentarily losing its focus.
The fire dragon loomed before them, its blazing eyes filled with intelligence and a hunger for destruction. Adela's heart sank as she witnessed its agility, effortlessly dodging every attack they threw its way. It was clear that this dragon was not an ordinary foe; it possessed a cunning mind and a mastery of its fiery powers.
Richard's brow furrowed in concern as he assessed the situation. The dragon's resistance to their assaults was disheartening, but he refused to let despair cloud his judgment. He turned to Adela, his voice filled with determination.
"Adela, we need your fire magic to protect us from its flames. Create a shield of protection and rally the other fire mages to do the same."
