Pray and Pay

The giant dragon stood under the town gate, thick clouds of smoke spreading from his heavily armoured body. The yellow light flickered all over his body, especially inside his mouth, with three magical pulsing squares inside.

Suddenly a thin and bright golden ray erupted from the dragon's mouth filled with bright light. The thin golden line split the plain around the town in half, the line vanishing under the trees in the distant forest. The line was bright, pulsing in golden light, looking like a laser beam. Its temperature was immense, with the air around it shivering. A repetitive buzzing sound was coming out, spreading through the whole plain.

The bright ray was thin but glowing in such a bright light that it hurt just to look at it, its bright golden light illuminating almost the whole plain. The clouds of steam rose along its entire length as the surrounding raindrops evaporated. The dragon slightly turned his head, the thin ray moving together with it.
