The dragon opened its gaping maw and released a quick stream of flames. Instinctively, Ash raised her right hand up as Sinneah dashed away from it.
"Protect me from the evils of this world!" Ash cast Barrier. A gleaming white wall appeared between Ash and the flames, but, the flames passed straight through it, and still covered her.
"AAAGH!" Ash's body burned.
However, just as soon as the flames had reached her, she was tackled away from it, dropping her Savior's Weapon in the process. Sinneah pinned her to the ground as Ash screamed through gritted teeth. The dragon closed its mouth, and as soon as Ash felt like she could breathe, she muttered:
"Desperation begets action, but kindness must not be forgotten, fffu..."
Her body was healed back up promptly, though Ash almost felt like the flame was still covering her. Sinneah pulled her up to her feet harshly then, as the dragon opened its mouth a second time.
